LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE DAILY MAIL/RADIOHEAD

A Glastonbury, a sorpresa.




The moonies are up on a mountain
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Waiting on the rapture

Singing we're here
To keep your prices down
Feed you to the hounds
To the Daily Mail
Together, together

You made a pig's ear
You made a mistake
Paid off security
And got through the gate
You got away with it
But we lie in wait

Where's the truth?
What's the use?
In hanging round
Lost and found
And with your head in the sand
Fat chance, no plan
No regard for human life
You'll keep time
You've no right
You're fast to lose
You're willing to lose
To jump the queue
Go back again
President
For life
Lord of all
The flies in the sky
The beasts of the earth
The fish in the sea
Have lost command

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: UNDERNEATH THE SYCAMORE/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

Lying in a field of glass
Underneath the overpass
Mangled in the shards of a metal frame
Woken from the dream by my own name
Well I was such a wretched man
Searching everywhere for a homeland
And now we are under the same sun
Feel it through the leaves
Let it heal us

We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore

We were both broken in our own ways
Sifting through the rubble for the wrong things
I know you've got a vengeful heart
And I cannot be stopped as soon as I start
But you have seen your darkest rooms
And I have slept in makeshift tombs
And this is where we find our peace
This is where we are at least

We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore

We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GLASS/JOY DIVISION

Hearts fail
Young hearts fail
Anytime pressurised
Overheat, overtired
Take it quick, take it neat
Clasp your hands, touch your feet
Take it quick, take it neat
Take it quick, take it neat

Hearts fail
Young hearts fail
Anytime wearing down
On the run underground
Put your hand where it's safe
Leave your hand where it's safe
Do it again
Do it again and again and again
Do it again and again and again
Do it again and again and again
Do it again and again and again

Anytime that's your right
Told you we should do it again
Overheat, overtired
Told you we should do it again
Told you we should do it again
Told you we should do it again
Anytime that's your right
Told you we should do it again
Anytime that's your right
Told you we should do it again
Told you we should do it again
I bet you we should do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again

ALBUM: STILL (1981)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PDA/INTERPOL

Yours is the only version of my desertion
That I could ever subscribe to
That is all that I can do
You are a past dinner, the last winner
I'm raping all around me
Until the last drop is behind you
But you're so cute when you're frustrated, dear
You're so cute when you're sedated, dear

Sleep tight, grim rite
We have two hundred couches where you can
Sleep tight, grim rite
We have two hundred couches where you can
Sleep tight, grim rite
We have two hundred couches where you can
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight

You are the only person who's completely certain
There's nothing here to be into
That is all that you can do
You are a past sinner, the last winner
And everything we've come to makes you
You
But you cannot safely say that while I will be away
You will not consider sadly
How you helped me to stray
And you will not reach me
I am resenting a position that's past resentment
And now I can't consider
And now there is this distance, so

Sleep tight, grim rite
We have two hundred couches where you can
Sleep tight, grim rite
We have two hundred couches where you can
Sleep tight, grim rite
We have two hundred couches where you can
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HARROWDOWN HILL/THOM YORKE

Don't walk the plank like I did
You will be dispensed with
When you've become inconvenient
Up on Harrowdown Hill
Where you used to go to school
Thats where I am
Thats where I'm lying down
Did I fall or was I pushed?
Did I fall or was I pushed?
And where's the blood?
And where's the blood?

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
To make it all right
So dry your eyes
We think the same things at the same time
We just can't do anything about it
We think the same things at the same time
We just can't do anything about it
So don't ask me
Ask the ministry
Don't ask me
Ask the ministry
We think the same things at the same time
There are so many of us
So you can't count
We think the same things at the same time
There are too many of us
So you can't count

Can you see me when I'm running?
Can you see me when I'm running?
Away from them
Away from them
I can't take their pressure
No one cares if you live or die
They just want me gone
They want me gone

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
To make it all right
So dry your eyes
We think the same things at the same time
We just can't do anything about it
We think the same things at the same time
There are too many of us
So you can't
There are too many of us
So you can't count

I was lured into the back of Harrowdown Hill
It was me lured into the back of Harrowdown Hill
It was a slippery slippery slippery slope
It was a slippery slippery slippery slope
I feel me slipping in and out of consciousness
I feel me slipping in and out of consciousness
I feel me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SAFE WITHOUT/INTERPOL

I'm not the hero out the gates
So much to feel so much to gain
My higher reason will take aim
I'll be ok I've got my shapes
We are not alone we share our stake
I think the winter will be wonderful

I am safe without it
I am safe without it
I am safe without
I am safe without it
I am safe without it
I am safe without

Go alone we'll skip the chase
It's go the road or drop the weight
There's no alleigance left to take
As great big sheets disintegrate
In the water
In the water

I am safe without it
I am safe without it
I am safe without
I am safe without it
I am safe without it
I am safe without

I am safe without it
I am safe without it
I am safe without (I know the reason why)
I am safe without it (I know the reason why)
I am safe without it (I know the reason why)
I am safe without (I know the reason why)
But I feel this way
Feel this way
I steal, I kneel, and I do it again
Over and over and over and over

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: A PLACE TO HIDE/WHITE LIES

Could I sit alone and ask about my future
When you replied I'd just turn away
I've been searching through my books to try and
Find some truth
Perhaps disguise is a mysterious way?
And if I made a promise
Could I stay by your side?
Would you guarantee my safety?
And say that I'b be alright?
And if judgement day started tonight
At least I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
But take my hand tonight I think we'll be alright girl

I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People on the mountains
Screaming I'll be back
And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in
I need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

If I told you all the times when I'd done wrong
Could you bathe my soul and wash it all away?
I can't forgive the things that I can still
remember
So I think my friend these sins are here to stay
And I could make a promise
With a tear in my eye
And all the hope in my heart
But all the doubt in my mind
But if judgement day started tonight
At least I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
But take my hand tonight I think we'll be alright girl

I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People on the mountains
Screaming I'll be back
And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in
I need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FOLLIE PREFERENZIALI/CAPAREZZA

Povero dio tirato in ballo dagli uomini
Ma che religioni, sono questioni da economi
Questi omini minimizzano rombi di bolidi
Fanno sempre i loro porci comodi
Nel nome del Padre figli che si fanno invalidi
Senti solo alibi squallidi
Danno ragione solamente a visi pallidi
Quelli diversi riversi ed esanimi
Partono plotoni di uomini di uomini
Verso postazioni di uomini di uomini
Aggressori con volti di uomini di uomini
Aggrediscono figli di uomini di uomini
In un circo massimo di uomini di uomini
Nell'anno domini di uomini di uomini
Subiamo il fascino di uomini di uomini
Come ninfomani di uomini di uomini

Non vengo con te nel deserto, scusami se diserto ma preferisco

Preferisco ammazzare il tempo
Preferisco sparare cazzate
Preferisco fare esplodere una moda
Preferisco morire d'amore
Preferisco caricare la sveglia
Preferisco puntare alla roulette
Preferisco il fuoco di un obiettivo
Preferisco che tu rimanga vivo

Gli uomini versano il tributo di nostalgie
Per epoche che mai hanno vissuto
La bandiera e il saluto
O con noi o stai muto
Questo è il terzo millennio, benvenuto
Chiedo aiuto a Newton, Isacco
Come cacchio si fa a sopportare fatti di 'sta gravità?
Anacronistica, la verità che viene a galla
Esperto di balistica misurami 'sta balla
E seguimi in questo viaggio tra santi e demoni
Che invece sono solo uomini di uomini
Tu che sei forte, alla morte sopravvivimi
Io sono debole quindi l'anima minami
Caro paese dalle belle pretese chiedimi
Se ti vedo come friend o come enemy
Ti piace fare la pace ma allora spiegami
'Sti missili che fischiano nell'aria come un theremin

Non vengo con te nel deserto, scusami se diserto ma preferisco

Preferisco ammazzare il tempo
Preferisco sparare cazzate
Preferisco fare esplodere una moda
Preferisco morire d'amore
Preferisco caricare la sveglia
Preferisco puntare alla roulette
Preferisco il fuoco di un obiettivo
Preferisco che tu rimanga vivo

Preferisco

Partono plotoni di uomini di uomini
Verso postazioni di uomini di uomini
Aggressori con volti di uomini di uomini
Aggrediscono figli di uomini di uomini
In un circo massimo di uomini di uomini
Nell'anno domini di uomini di uomini
subiamo il fascino di uomini di uomini
Come ninfomani di uomini si ma

Io Preferisco ammazzare il tempo
Preferisco sparare cazzate
Preferisco fare esplodere una moda
Preferisco morire d'amore
Preferisco caricare la sveglia
Preferisco puntare alla roulette
Preferisco il fuoco di un obiettivo
Preferisco che tu rimanga vivo
