LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CHEERLEADER/ST. VINCENT

Diretto da Hiro Murai

I've had good times
With some bad guys
I've told whole lies
With a half smile
Held your bare bones
With my clothes on
I've thrown rocks
That hit both my arms

I don't know what good it serves
Pouring my purse in the dirt
But I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more
But I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more

I've played dumb
When I knew better
Tried so hard
Just to be clever
I know honest thieves
I call family
I've seen America
With no clothes on

But I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more
But I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more

I don't know what I deserve
But for you I could work

'Cause I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don't wanna be a dirt eater no more
I don't wanna be a dirt eater no more
I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HO MANGIATO LA MIA RAGAZZA/LA SINTESI

Dottore ho urgente bisogno
Di parlare un po' con lei
Ho instaurato un rapporto morboso con la mia ragazza
Ho chiuso tutte le porte con il mondo
Ho dormito abbracciato ai suoi vestiti
Volevo quasi fermarla nell'ambra
Ma poi ho capito che il posto più sicuro era dentro di me

Ho mangiato la mia ragazza
Per la mia voglia di conoscere a fondo la verità
Ho mangiato la mia ragazza
Per contaminare la mia persona con le sue semplici qualità
Qualità

Volevo solo puntualizzare che non è bieca gelosia
Con quella ho sempre più o meno convissuto
Perchè la giudico una debolezza mia
Mi sono chiesto dove avesse l'anima
E non trovando una risposta
Ho pensato io la mangio e il mio metabolismo farà il resto

Ho mangiato la mia ragazza
Per la mia voglia di conoscere a fondo la verità
Ho mangiato la mia ragazza
Per contaminare la mia persona con le sue semplici qualità
Qualità

Volevo quasi fermarla nell'ambra
Ma poi ho capito che il posto più sicuro era dentro di me

Ho mangiato la mia ragazza
Per allargare la mia cultura inglobando la sua
Inglobando la sua

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WHAT THE WATER GAVE ME/FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE

Time it took us
To where the water was
That's what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh, my love don't forsake me
Take what the water gave me

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

And don't pull the atlas
The world's a beast of a burden
You've been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the shields are left to rust
That's what the water gave us

So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

'Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You could have had it any other way

'Cause she's a crueller mistress
And the bargain must be made
But oh, my love don't forget me
I let the water take me

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

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: MEMOIR/CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG

The city lights are beckoning
Their sirens softly call
All the fantacists and fetishist
Are preparing their ball
We've been stuck here on the doorstep
With nothing to forsake
But we might as well be anyone's to take

So I give myself to strangers
Like I gave myself to you
The tenderness I felt
Has been replaced by something new
And in the end I can vaguely hear an outline of your call
But I may as well be any words at all

Every memory is sailing to the kingdom of your soul
As you patiently await
I lose my sense of self-control
You put the lighthouse to my broken boat
But I left you behind
Now I might as well be anyone's to find

Take my body
Take it from me
It is no warning
Of your memory

Remember you undressing
As I set myself on fire
And the funeral was quick
As I lay lifeless on you part
And it's a kind of desperation
And it's just something you can't fake
How we might as well be anyone's to take

So, I give myself to strangers
Like I gave myself to you
But the unity I felt
Has been replaced by something new
And I hang like Mary Jane
I know that I'm am poor
But I may as well be anyone at all
Yes, I may as well be anyone at all
No, I may as well be anyone at all
No, I may as well be anyone at all

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ANIMAL NITRATE/SUEDE

Like his dad you know that he's had
Animal nitrate in mind
In your council home he jumped on your bones
Now you're taking it time after time

It turns you on, on
Now he has gone
What turns you on, on
Now your animal's gone?

Well he said he'd show you his bed
And the delights of the chemical smile
So in your broken home he broke all your bones
Now you're taking it time after time

It turns you on, on
Now he has gone
What turns you on, on
Now your animal's gone?

What does it take to turn you on, on
Now he has gone?
Now you're over 21?
Now your animal's gone?
Animal, he was animal
An animal
Animal, he was animal
An animal
Animal

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CAMEL WALK/SOUTHERN CULTURE ON THE SKIDS

Baby, would you eat that there snack cracker
In your special outfit for me, please?

Yo ye pharoahs
Let us walk
Through this barren desert
In search of truth
And some pointy boots
And maybe a few snack crackers
You make me wanna walk like a camel
Walk

Who’s in charge here
Where’s my Captain’s Wafers?
Don’t go around hungry now
The way you eat that oatmeal pie
Makes me just wanna die
Baby, you make me wanna walk like a camel
Walk

Say, you don’t think there’s any way I could get that quarter
From underneath your pointy boot, do you?
All I want is just one more oatmeal pie
Little Debbie, Little Debbie
I’m a comin' on home, baby
’Cause you make me wanna walk
Like a camel

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BIGGER THAN US/WHITE LIES

You took the tunnel route home
You've never taken that way with me before
Did you feel the need for change?
Apologies on your fingernails
Love flickered in the city of lights
Like good singers on radio waves
I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I just gotta get home

And I feel like I'm breaking up
And I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside
Don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me
I don't want you to pray
This is bigger than us

You went where the horses cry
You've never taken that way with me before
Did you feel the need for change?
Guilt smeared across your lips
I was tired and cold from the window
You're tired, nothing's came
I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I just gotta get home

And I feel like I'm breaking up
And I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside
Don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me
I don't want you to pray
This is bigger than us

And I feel like I'm breaking up
And I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside
Don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me
I don't want you to pray
This is bigger than us

And I feel like I'm breaking up
And I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside
Don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me
I don't want you to pray
This is bigger than us

And I feel like I'm breaking up
And I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside
Don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me
I don't want you to pray
This is bigger than us

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WHERE DID ALL THE LOVE GO?/KASABIAN

Ever took a punch
In the ribcage sonny
Never met a soul
Who had no shrine
Keep this all in your mind
And get it inside my window
What do we become
Trying to kill each other
You’re faking it son
Gonna get you tonight
I suck another breath
To the hearts of the revolution
'Cause you still ain’t right

Where did all the love go?
I don’t know, I don’t know
'Cause you can't see it
Where did all the love go?
I don’t know, I don’t know
I bet you can't see it

Gotta see the signs
Of a real change a coming
Take another sip
From this hobo’s wine
Get yourself a million miles
From this concrete jungle
This is a time
Full of fear full of anger
A heroe’s exchange for a telephone line
Whatever happened to the youth of this generation?
Because it still ain’t right

Where did all the love go?
I don’t know, I don’t know
I bet you can't see it
Where did all the love go?
Well, I don’t know why
Oh, why

The rivers on the pavement
Are flowing now with blood
The children of the future
Are drowning in the flood

Where did all the love go?
Well, I don’t know why
Oh, why

In this social chaos
There’s violence in the air
Gotta keep your wits about you
Be careful not to stare

Where did all the love go?
I don’t know, I don’t know
Because you don't see it
Where did all the love go?
Well, I don’t know why
Oh, why
I bet you can't see it

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: VENUS IN FURS/THE VELVET UNDERGROUND

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl-child in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant don't forsake him
Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin speak so slightly
Severin down on your bended knee
Taste the whip in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl-child in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart
