LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CHERRY/CHROMATICS

Cherry
Tells me some things I don't want to know
And I can't see
A light at the end for us anymore
But I can't keep crying
All of the time
No I can't keep crying
All of the time

Cherry
Can be very sweet when she needs a friend
But it's only
A mask that she wears so she can pretend
And I can't keep running
All of the time
No I can't keep running
All of the time

Cherry
I hate that it's true but you make me blue
I kept waiting
For you to find what I see in you
And I can't keep quiet
All of the time
No I can't keep quiet
All of the time

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOSING YOU/SOLANGE

Tell me the truth boy, am I losing you for good?
We use to kiss all night but now it’s just no use
I don’t know why I fight it, clearly we are through
Tell me the truth boy, am I losing you for good?

I knew you waiting for the rest that you can't get from me
Just chew me good and baby I'll give you the rest of me
I'm not the one that you should be making your enemy
I'm not the one that you should be making your enemy

Tell me the truth boy, am I losing you for good?
We use to kiss all night but now it’s just no use
I don’t know why I fight it, clearly we are through
Tell me the truth boy, am I losing you for good?

There's something I know you taking it away from me
I gave you everything and now there's nothing left for me
I'm not the one that you should be making your enemy
I'm not the one that you should be making your enemy

Tell me the truth boy, am I losing you for good?
We use to kiss all night but now it’s just no use
I don’t know why I fight it, clearly we are through
Tell me the truth boy, am I losing you for good?
Tell me the truth boy, am I losing you for good?
We use to kiss all night but now it’s just no use
I don’t know why I fight it, clearly we are through
Tell me the truth boy, am I losing you for good?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PLANET EARTH/DURAN DURAN

Only came outside to watch night fall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme like
Some new romantic looking for the TV sound
I'll see you're right some other time love

Look now, look all around
There's no sign of life
Voices another sound
Can you hear me now?
This is planet earth
You're looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is planet earth

My head is stuck on something precious let me know
If you're coming down to land is there
Anybody out there trying to get through
My eyes so cloudy I can't see you

Look now, look all around
There's no sign of life
Voices another sound
Can you hear me now?
This is planet earth
You're looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is planet earth

Look now, look all around
There's no sign of life
Voices another sound
Can you hear me now?
This is planet earth
You're looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
Looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
Calling planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is planet earth

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FIGHT/THE CURE

Sometimes there's nothing to feel
Sometimes there's nothing to hold
Sometimes there's no time to run away
Sometimes you just feel so old
The times it hurts when you cry
The times it hurts just to breathe
And then it all seems like there's no-one left
And all you want is to sleep

Fight fight fight
Just push it away
Fight fight fight
Just push until it breaks
Fight fight fight
Don't cry at the pain
Fight fight fight
Or watch yourself burn again
Fight fight fight
Don't howl like a dog
Fight fight
Just fill up the sky
Fight fight fight
Fight til you drop
Fight fight fight
And never, never, never, never, never
Never stop

Fight fight fight
Fight fight fight
Fight fight fight
Fight fight fight

So when the hurting starts
And when the nightmares begin
Remember you can fill up the sky
You don't have to give in
You don't have to give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in

ALBUM: KISS ME KISS ME KISS ME (1987)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: JUST ONE KISS/THE CURE

Remember the time that you rained all night
The queen of Siam in my arms
Remember the time that the islands sank
But nobody opened their eyes

Remember that time that the trees fell down
The wood crashing through the wall
Remember the sound that could wake the dead
But nobody woke up at all

Somebody died for this
Somebody died for just one kiss

Remember the time that the sky went black
We waited alone on the sands
Remember the sound of the raging sea
But nobody held out their hands

Somebody died for this
Somebody died for just one kiss
Just one kiss
Just one kiss

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO #2: RIO/DURAN DURAN

Un amico d'infanzia oggi compie trent'anni, auguri.




Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

Hey now woo look at that did she nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive, alive
I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side or something
I know what you're thinking
I tell you something
I know what you're thinking

Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

And I'm tired of winter returning to you
Your face is warmer than the summer will ever be
My mind was made up in the winter of '83

One live without, you make happy
Days are not cold, finally return
Don't be shy on, move up to see
Stronger than me, finally return
The one you win, up to without
Winter's without, cold finally win
Oh, don't' be shy, don't' be shy
Don't' be shy, finally return

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I BELIEVE/ALL I NEED TO KNOW//DURAN DURAN

The taxman's in the pocketbook
The pressmen are by the bar
And all the world is at your door
It's strange that you should lock it up
And preach an open heart
But you know what they're waiting for

You can turn your face away
And don't think twice
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
Or even your advice
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
To walk away

I was tempted by the devil
In his deep blue swimming pool
Until the devil's make up ran
And my future's in the strangle hold
Of ever changing rules
I don't intend to understand

You can stop pretending now
That I had you fooled
I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
To paralyze my soul
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
Promise me you'll try to understand before I go
And walk away

You can turn your face away
And don't think twice
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
Or even your advice
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
Promise me you'll try to understand before I go

All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SHAKE DOG SHAKE/THE CURE

Wake up in the dark
The after-taste of anger in the back of my mouth
Spit it on the wall
And cough some more
And scratch my skin with razor blades

And make up in the new blood
And try to look so good
Follow me
Make up in the new blood
And follow me to where the real fun is

As stale and selfish as a sick dog
Spurning sex like an animal of god
I'll tear your red hair by the roots
And hold you blazing
Hold you cherished in the dead electric light
Your face
I'll never see you this way again
I captured it so perfectly
As if I knew you'd disappear away

Shake shake shake shake
Shake shake shake shake
Shake dog shake
Shake shake shake shake
Shake shake shake shake
Shake dog shake

You hit me again
You howl and hit me again
The same sharp pain
Cuts me in the dark
And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart
My heart, my shaking heart

Shake shake
Shake shake shake shake
Shake shake shake shake
Shake dog shake

We slept all night in the virgin's bed
And dreamed of death
And breathed like sick dogs
We slept all night in the virgin's bed
And breathed like death
And dreamed of sick dogs

Shake shake
Shake dog shake
Shake shake
Shake dog shake

Wake up, wake up, wake up
Shake dog shake
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Shake dog shake

Make up in the new blood
Shake up in the new blood
Fake up in this new blood
And follow me to where the real fun is
Shake dog shake
Shake dog shake
Shake dog shake

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FASCINATION STREET/THE CURE

Oh, it's opening time
Down on Fascination Street
So let's cut the conversation
And get out for a bit
Because I feel it all fading
And paling and I'm begging you
To drag you down with me
To kick the last nail in
Yeah, I like you in that
Like I like you to scream
But if you open your mouth
Then I can't be responsible
For quite what goes in
Or to care what comes out
So just pull on your hair
Just pull on your pout
And let's move to the beat
Like we know that it's over
If you slip going under
Slip over my shoulder
So just pull on your face
Just pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street

So pull on your hair
Pull on your pout
Cut the conversation
Just open your mouth
Pull on your face
Pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street
Fascination Street
Fascination Street
Fascination Street

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE CHAUFFEUR/DURAN DURAN

Diretto da Ian Emes

Out on the tar plains the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me so newly charming
Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side

And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart

Way down the lane away, living for another day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze

And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart

Sing blue silver

And watching lovers part
I feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
To tear out from your eyes with a thought to stiffen brooding lies
And I'll only watch you leave me further behind

And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart

Sing blue silver
Sing, sing blue silver

There's more to this kind of camouflage,
More than just colour and shape.
Who's going now, in to a classiomatic?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE RIDDLE/NIK KERSHAW

I got two strong arms
Blessings of Babylon time
To carry on and try for sins and false alarms
So to America the brave wise men save

Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you

I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
For anything but light
Wise men fighting over you

It's not me, you see
Pieces of Valentine
And just a song of mine
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold

Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you

I got time to kill
Sly looks in corridors without a plan of yours
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Wise men child

Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight
Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you
No he'll never, never fight over you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SIGN 'O' THE TIMES/PRINCE

In France a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen year old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called the Disciples
High on crack, toting a machine gun
Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Is telling you somebody died
Sister killed her baby 'cause she could afford to feed it
And were sending people to the moon
In september my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's june
Times, times

Its silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh why
Time, time

Baby make a speech, star wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn
Time, times

Its silly, no?
When a rocket blows
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly
Until a man truly dies
Oh why, oh why, sign o' the times
Time, time

Sign o' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's to late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
Well call him nate, if it's a boy
Time, time
Time, time

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CIRCLE/EDIE BRICKELL & NEW BOHEMIANS

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around 
Me, I think it all depends on you
Touching ground with us but

I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else, it seems
And I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else, it seems

And being alone is the best way to be
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself, nobody else can say goodbye

Everything is temporary anyway
When the streets are wet
The colors slip into the sky
But I don't know why that means you and I are, that means you and I

I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else, it seems
And I quit I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else, it seems

And being alone is the best way to be
When I'm by myself, it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone, it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself, nobody else can say

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around
