LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FUNERAL SONG/FAST ROMANTICS





I just got back from your funeral
You were lying on a sheet
With some strange man standing over you
As though he knew you more than me

But you've still got that body
And you can dress it up in black
But when I look at you
You don't look back

'Cause when I saw you at the spaceship door
They were calling you aboard
From all the people at your funeral
I couldn't take you anymore

But you've still got that body
And you'll remind us all of that
But when I look at you
You don't look back

I would rather give my heart
To the travelling band
I set out to sail the moon
And all that I found was sand
I would rather hold your heart
In my two hands
I set out to sail the moon
And I came back a lonely man

I would rather give my heart
To the travelling band
I set out to sail the moon
And all that I found was sand
I would rather hold your heart
In my two hands
I set out to sail the moon
And I came back so lonely

I just got back from your funeral
You were lying on a sheet
With some strange man standing over you
As though he knew you more than me

But you've still got that body
And you've reminded me of that
but when I look at you
You don't look back
When I look at you
You don't look back
When I look at you
You don't look back

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WE MIGHT BE DEAD BY TOMORROW/SOKO




Diretto da Soko

Give me all your love now
'Cause for all we know
We might be dead by tomorrow

I count, going wasting my time
Adding scars to my heart
'Cause all I hear is
I'm not ready now

And I can tell
That you didn't have
To face your mother
losing her lover
Without saying goodbye
Without saying goodbye
'Cause she didn't have time

I don't want to judge
What's in your heart
But if you're not ready for love
How can you be ready for life?
How can you be ready?

So let's love fully and let's love loud
Let's love now
'Cause soon enough we'll die
'Cause soon enough we'll die
'Cause soon enough we'll die
'Cause soon enough we'll die
'Cause soon enough we'll die
'Cause soon enough we'll die

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BITTERSWEET MELODIES/FEIST




Fotografie di Irina Werner

Whispers in the grass
Under slow dancing trees
Birds are telling me stories
Saying you were meant for me

With their bittersweet melodies
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melodies
Can't go back
I can't go on without those
Bittersweet melodies

Weakened kitchen floor
Snow slips under the door
Tiny speakers were singing
Telephone always ringing

With those bittersweet melodies
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melodies
Can't go back
I can't go on

I remember us
Before we turned to dusk
Just when these feelings were all about
When we still could trust in our hearts

Bittersweet melody
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melody
Can't go back
I can't go on
Both of us singing that same old song
With those bittersweet melody
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melody
And it seemed oh so wrong
Since those bittersweet melody played for me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOOKING FOR A SIGN/BECK





If I ever think about you
If I ever call your name
I’ll put my empty arms around you
Let them every die away

Looking out for a sign
How can I tell what’s right
Changing my ways to spite myself
'Cause I still want you

If I ran across your picture
If I called you bout to stay
and if I ask someone about you
it’s a habit I can’t break

Looking out for a sign
How can I tell what’s right
Changing my ways to spite myself
'Cause I still want you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WEIGHTS & MEASURES/DRY THE RIVER





I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you

If the spirit has left you baby
Don't lie to yourself
Put them old records on
And admit that it's gone somewhere else
Just because we're beasts of blame by nature
Doesn't mean that you should carry it again
It's a question of needs and not rosary beads in the end

I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you
And there's no patron saint of sudden restraint
Baby there ain't no sword in a lake
Just a funeral wake

And in comes the black night
Calling your name since you were born
I couldn't hear it
I was empty as a drum

I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you
And there's no patron saint of sudden restraint
Baby there ain't no sword in a lake
Just a funeral wake

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WILL YOU PLEASE SPEND NEW YEARS WITH ME?/ALLO DARLIN'





When I feel kinda like a giant useless slump
Ready to be taken to the rubbish dump
You call me up on your red telephone
Make me happy again and then you have to go
But I've been trying to think positively
About taking up new activities
I'll do yoga and learn chinese
Play accordion and eat my peas

But will you spend new year's eve with me?
We can hide in my bedroom and watch cartoons all night

Everybody else will be out drinking
But I don't feel like drinking
Do you wanna stay in and hang out with me
We could play some Monopoly
It's embarrassing to think that at 25
I'm not doing something more wild with my life
There's a party over here, a party there
But my favourite party is in my bed

So will you please spend new year's with me?
We can hide in my bedroom and watch cartoons all night

We can play Nintendo if you'd let me win
But you're super competitive with these things
That's okay, i don't mind, let's make pop-corn
Do you feel like watching Harold and Maude
You're the greatest the friend that I've ever had
I want you to know that i'm grateful for that
I won't let our acquaintance ever be forgot
Happy new year, I love you, you're the best of the lot

So will you please spend new year's with me?
We can hide in my bedroom and watch cartoons all night

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: KNOTS/LISA HANNIGAN




Diretto da Myles O'Reilly

It was early in the morning
We were sitting on the stoop
There wheeled away a starling
And I thought that I would too
For all I knew
I was lost through and through
In my high heels and my old dress
With my new keys in the wrong city

I tie the knots to remember in my heart
So I choke and I sputter to a stop
I am a borrower and lender of the lot

I walk away asleep
And chalk an outline round the scene
This shadow play of whiskey talk
A heavy denier dream
Let it be
I was lost in him and me
In my high heels and my old dress
With my new keys in the wrong city

I tie the knots to remember in my heart
So I choke and I sputter to a stop
I am a borrower and lender of the lot

In my high heels and my old dress
With my new keys in the wrong city
In my high heels and my old dress
With my new keys in the wrong city
City

I tie the knots to remember in my heart
So I choke and I sputter to a stop
I am a borrower and lender of the lot
I tie the knots to remember in my heart
I tie the knots to remember in my heart
So I choke and I sputter to a stop

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: IT IS SO NICE TO GET STONED/OKKERVIL RIVER





It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice

It is so nice to get stoned
And take a look off of my weary night
It is so nice to get stoned
And never ever come down

It is so nice to lay down
And watch the clouds drifting so lazily
It is so nice to lay down
And never ever come down

It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice

It is so nice to get stoned
So nice to get stoned
It is so nice to get stoned
So nice to get stoned

I wish I was the breeze
All the birds feathers to catch the sun
I will keep all the flying so high
And never ever come down

It is so nice to get stoned
So nice to get stoned
It is so nice to get stoned
So nice to get stoned

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BURYING DAVY/THE DECEMBERISTS





Bring out your weeping weeds
Put on your ten-pint bowlers
Bring out your weeping weeds
We're burying Davy
We're burying Davy

Gather the screws and spades
Oil up your mud-brown slicker
Gather the screws and spades
We're burying Davy
We're burying Davy

Who'll plane the old pine boughs?
Who'll set his legs uncrooked?
Who'll plane the old pine boughs?
For burying Davy
For burying Davy

Mother wept no tears
Brother grew unruly
Mother wept no tears
At burying Davy
At burying Davy

Bring out your weeping weeds
Put on your ten-pint bowlers
Bring out your weeping weeds
We're burying Davy
We're burying Davy

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: KING AND LIONHEART/OF MONSTERS AND MEN





Taking over this town, they should worry
But these problem aside I think I taught you well
That we won’t run, and we won’t run, and we won’t run
That we won’t run, and we won’t run, and we won’t run

And in the winter night sky ships are sailing
Looking down on these bright blue city lights
And they won’t wait, and they won’t wait, and they won’t wait
We’re here to stay, we’re here to stay, we’re here to stay

Howling ghost they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart
A lionheart

His crown lid up the way as we moved slowly
Pass the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind
Though far away, though far away, though far away
We’re still the same, we’re still the same, we’re still the same

Howling ghost they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart
And in the sea that’s painted black
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart
And as the world comes to an end
I’ll be here to hold your hand
'Cause you’re my king and I’m your lionheart
A lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart
A lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart

Howling ghost they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart
And in the sea that’s painted black
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart
A lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart
A lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOME/LISA HANNIGAN





Home, so far from home
So far to go
And we've only just begun
And home, every lie we told
Is written in stone
Every lie we wrote on our bones

And hold on, there's nothing to pack
We know we're not coming back

Every promise that we broke
Is sewn to our clothes
Now we are pinned to the wind I suppose
Every falling flake of snow has to give in
But we spin and we spin and we spin

Hold on, there's nothing to pack
Lay your heart out, we're not coming back

Hold on, there's nothing to pack
Lay your heart out, we're not coming back
We're not coming back

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ART OF ALMOST/WILCO





I can't be so far away from my wasteland
I never know when (...)
So I supports with my own hands
Almost, almost
I things would let you love, but
I had other ways to help myself
By calling out, open up my heart and fall
I blame it all on dust
Almost, almost
Almost, almost

I hold it up, shake the grade
Disobey across the waves tomorrow
I'm with all the love I ever aching
I breath almost is you
Almost, almost
