LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FULL STOP/RADIOHEAD

You really messed up everything
You really messed up everything
Let me take it back again
Here I am under the tree
Rolls and rolls of under me

It's a bitter tasting medicine
It's a foul tasting medicine
You really messed up this time
Your early messed up this time

All the good times
All the good times

(2012)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NEEDLES AND PINS/HOWTH

Needles and pins I feel them sticking in my skin
Needles and pins I feel them sticking in my skin
Is it a sin to outlive your limb?
Now that that part of me is gone I can begin to reimagine who I am

What was part of me is now lying dead on the floor
Heart giving blood to a gift that's giving no more
It makes you wonder what else the body has in store
What once was me is now lying dead on the floor

Needles and pins I feel them sticking in my skin
Needles and pins I feel them sticking in my skin
Is it a sin to outlive your limb?
Now that that part of me is gone I can begin to reimagine who I am

There's nothing in coming out of those nerve endings
I feel a feeling but it's just pretending
My brain ain't getting any message their sending
Now that that part of me is gone I can begin to reimagine who I am

What makes my body, my hands, my feet or my head
Will there be anything no there will not when I'm dead
This isn't a beginning this is only an end
What wakes my body, my hands, my feet or my head

Needles and pins I feel them sticking in my skin
Needles and pins I feel them sticking in my skin
And I will worry when I no longer feel them
Just another part of me that's a ghost limb

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DON'T WAKE THE SCARECROW/THE FELICE BROTHERS

Would you love me
If I told you I was born upstream
If I told you I come from money
White money
Would you love me
Would you love me
Well, I was born down
By a bad little river in a poor town
Where an indian-giver put a board out
It said boarding house
Call him scarecrow
He kept whores around
And I'd go there
I'd wait my turn on the broke stairs
And get me the girl with the gold hair
Leave your clothes there
On the folding chair
In that cold room
Your breath would twist just like ghosts do
You said call me Dorothy in red shoes
And the bed moved
The bed moved
The bed moved

Tracy, don't you wake that scarecrow tonight

Well, the man would come in
It's hard living right giving head when
The sad days of winter have set in
And the medicine for an addict is heroin
I'd find you there in the bath
We'd cook up your shit in a tin can
And you started calling me tin man
And we started making plans to begin again
Begin again
You saved a C note
Told me you felt like a seagull
Told me to meet at the depot
With the needle
Then maybe we'd go to Reno
Where you'd be my desert dove
And we'd find a way to make better love
Said, baby, that's How the West Was Won
And the blood-red sun
The blood-red sun
And the blood-red

Tracy, don't you wake that scarecrow tonight

Well, the man cries
Who gives a damn when a tramp dies?
But I loved you there in the lamp light
With your bare thighs
And the halo of your hair
And all my lifelong
I'll never shake off your siren song
And all of your talk about dying young
With an iron lung and that crazy way
You said, Simon
I think I might stay here with scarecrow tonight
Simon, I think I'm gonna stay here with scarecrow tonight

ALBUM: THE FELICE BROTHERS (2008)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: AFRAID/DAVID BOWIE

I wish I was smarter
I got so lost on the shore
I wish I was taller
Things really matter to me

But I put my faith in tomorrow
I believe we're not alone
I believe in Beatles
I believe my little soul has grown

And I'm still
So afraid
Yes, I'm still
So afraid
I'm still
So afraid
On my own
On my own

What made my life so wonderful?
What made me feel so bad?
I used to wake up the ocean
I used to walk on clouds

If I put faith in medication
If I can smile a crooked smile
If I can talk on television
If I can walk an empty mile

Then I won't
Feel afraid
No, I won't
Feel afraid
I won't be
Be afraid
Anymore
Anymore
And then I just won't be afraid
Anymore
And then I just won't be afraid

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ANTI-D/THE WOMBATS

Cosa succede se Mattew Murphy, il cantante dei Wombats, si traveste da Robert Smith?




Please allow me to be your anti-depressant
I too, am prescribed as freely
As any decongestant

We kick back and let the pills do the talking
People hear a distinct rattle when we’re walking
Then there’s the extra two stone that’s our only guarantee
Our vivid dreams are just like big production movies
They get entangled well within our daily routines
So please re-think or use my dream-on strategy

And please allow me to be your anti-depressant
I too, am prescribed as freely
As any decongestant

Its hard to smile when your as flattened as a pancake
The only tears come from our heads when we concentrate
Perhaps I'm being unjust or perhaps you agree
Still I've thrown away my citalopram
I need more than what was in those forty miligrams
So cast away with the doctors plans

And please allow me to be your anti-depressant
I too, am prescribed as freely
As any decongestant

So thrown away my citalopram
Although I felt as grim as the reaper man
So cast away with the doctors plans
Like me

ALBUM: THE WOMBATS PROUDLY PRESENT... THIS MODERN GLITCH (2011)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: UBERLIN/R.E.M.

Hey now, take your pills and
Hey now, make your breakfast
Hey now, comb your hair and off to work
Crash land, no illusions, no collision, no intrusion
My imagination runs away

I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star
I will make it through the day
And then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

Hey now, take the U-Bahn, five stops, change the station
Hey now, don’t forget that change will save you
Hey now, count a thousand-million people, that’s astounding
Chasing through the city with their stars on bright

I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star
I will make it through the day
And then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

I don’t mind repeating, I am not complete
I have never been the gifted type
Hey, man, tell me something
Are you off to somewhere?
Do you want to go with me tonight?

I know, I know, I know that this is changing
We walk the streets to feel the ground I’m chasing: ÜBerlin
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star
I will make it through the day
And then the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

ALBUM: COLLAPSE INTO NOW (2011)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FOLLOW THE COPS BACK HOME/PLACEBO

The call to arms was never true
Time to imbibe here’s to you
I’ll tell you stories bruised and blue
Of drum machines and landslides
Just one more round before we’re through
More psychedelic yuppie flu
It’s such a silly thing to do
Now we’re stuck on rewind

Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back home
And rob their houses

The call to arms was never true
Let’s take a ride and push it through
Suspended animation glue
Blame it on apartheid
Let’s spend the night in Jimmy shoes
I’ll give you coats and cheap shampoo
I’ll give you nothing else to do
Now we’re stuck on rewind

Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back home
And rob their houses
Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back home
and rob their houses

The call to arms was never true
I’m medicated, how are you?
Let’s take a dive, swim right through
Sophisticated points of view

Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back home
And rob their houses
Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back home
And rob their houses

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: INSIDE MY HEAD/RADIOHEAD

What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my fingers bleed
Now they're staring at me
I'm a coward now
I hold my peace
Now you tie me up to your feather bed
And I twist and turn in a chinese burn
You won't let go
You won't let go

You're inside my head
Inside my head

What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my energy you suck from me
And I'm holding on for dear life
Quit smothering me
Quit laughing at me
I've got a disease
An english disease
It won't let go
It won't let go

You're inside my head
Inside my head

What did you put in that syringe?
Whatever you really said to him?
Is sitting there, inside of me
And you bother me
You posess me
You're there again
Ahead of me
And I won't let go
I won't let go

You're inside my head
Inside my head

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ON MELANCHOLY HILL/GORILLAZ

Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream
Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set up and see
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

So call in the submarine
Round the world will go
Does anybody know
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream

If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me

Up on melancholy hill
A manatee?
Just looking out on the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

When you're close to me

ALBUM: PLASTIC BEACH (2010)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SMOKERS OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL DOORS/EDITORS

Pull the blindfold down
So your eyes can't see
Now run as fast as you can
Through this field of trees

Say goodbye to everyone
You have ever known
You are not gonna see them ever again

I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors

Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?

How can we wear our smiles
With our mouths wide shut
'Cause you stopped us from singin'

I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors

Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
Now someone turn us around
Can we start this again?

We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Left smashed off the floor

I can't believe you
If I can't hear you
I can't believe you
If I can't hear you

We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor

We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor

Someone turn me around
(We've all been changed from what we were)
Can I start this again?
(Our broken parts smashed off the floor)
Now someone turn us around
(We've all been changed from what we were)
Can we start this again?
(Our broken parts smashed off the floor)

ALBUM: AN END HAS A START (2007)

POST-IT: MARILYN MANSON HA L'INFLUENZA SUINA

Un po' di gossip: con un post sul suo MySpace, Marylin Manson ha annunciato di aver contratto l'influenza suina (Swine Flu in inglese, nome che suonerebbe perfetto per una band punk-rock...), meglio nota dalle nostre parti come nuova influenza. L'infezione gli sarebbe stata diagnosticato da un "vero dottore", e per quanto questo contrattempo potrebbe rafforzare la sua immagine non proprio candida, il contagio non avrebbe nulla a che fare con le sue esperienze sessuali passate. In ogni caso, sempre stando al comunicato, il cantante sopravviverà, ed a quanto pare, le date del suo tour mondiale (comprese quella di Treviso del 26 Novembre, e quella di Milano del giorno successivo), non sono a rischio. Pur apprezzando la sincerità e la chiarezza di Brian, viene da chiedersi se è lui ad aver preso il virus, o il virus ad essersi beccato lui...

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MEDS/PLACEBO

I was alone, falling free
Trying my best not to forget
What happened to us
What happened to me
What happened as I let it slip

I was confused by the powers that be
Forgetting names and faces
Passersby were looking at me
As if they could erase it

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

I was alone, staring over the ledge
Trying my best not to forget
All manner of joy
All manner of glee
And our one heroic pledge

How it mattered to us
How it mattered to me
And the consequences
I was confused by the birds and the bees
Forgetting if I meant it

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

I was alone, falling free
Trying my best not to forget
