LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOTUS FLOWER/RADIOHEAD





I will slip myself into your pocket
Invisible, do what you want
Do what you want
I will sink and I will disappear
I will slip into the groove and cut me up and cut me up

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I'll set you free
I'll set you free
There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
Tonight I'll set you free
I'll set you free

Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flower
Because all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what it is
Just to see what it is
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

We will sink and be quiet as mice
While the cat is away
Do what we want
Do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
And now I set you free
I set you free

Because all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what it
Just to see what it is
Take the lotus flower into my room
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flower
All I want is the moon upon a stick
Dance around a pit
The darkness is beneath
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STAY KIDS/ANR (AWESOME NEW REPUBLIC)





I left the world of the working man
To be immature and sometimes insecure
I kept my eye on the second hand
Watch the passing time always slowing by
Despite the thought of that hazy life
That we all resist until we're laid to rest
I found a gift in the sacrifice
Of the mammal kind to the world we'll leave behind
Stay young

I climbed the raft from the sinking sand
Made a swift escape in through the flooded gate
I left a record of how we died
For something to find and discover I had failed
Stay young
Stay young
Stay young

We've got the brains
But don't have the bodies to live so fast
We solve the problem
Without the knowledge to make it last
Break out the bottle
The ship is sinking in through the past
The path is deeper
Within the current of a wave
The better years, are they still yet to come?
Get rid of fear and stay young

When all the city is petrified
You'll forget the time you were terrified

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I THOUGHT I WAS AN ALIEN/SOKO




Diretto da Soko con Spike Jonze

We met one day
When I thought I was an alien
I told you to get a question meant
Dance with me like an alien

You told me that you were not quite a good dancer
I told you that I think it doesn't matter
We were just look dumber than we think we were

And you look at me as I was a freak
But you said you like freaky people
So I thought you might look me a little bit

We met one day
When I thought I was an alien
I told you to get a question meant
Dance with me like an alien
And you did
And you did

Scherzando e ridendo, sono passati 20 anni.




Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Reproductive glands

He’s the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it means

Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it means
when I say yeah

We can have some more
Nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom

He’s the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it means

He’s the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along

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

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HANGING FROM A HIT/OKKERVIL RIVER





What this night wants is what it gets
Strung in silken knots
Lit by cigarettes
Flaring side by side with the streets all wet
As the only thing that's bright
And I don't need to cross that bridge
I find I'm swinging or sailing
Over the pit tonight
I'm hanging from a hit tonight
Was wild enough to order up
And toss across my lips

What's making all my tears
Is taking all my fears away
But I don't need to cry
'Cause now I'm clear

A moth that's swerving through the sage
A creature crashing from a cage
A shadow vaporized by a new sun ray
A day she spends the night
And I can hear her sighing
As she's almost asleep on one side
I lie back on my pillow and ask what her husband is like

And she says
I smile polite
And I tip and tithe
And I see the sights
With a well-trained eye
But I come and cry
'Cause I'm too much mine without him

And I lie, reclined
Where the room is quiet
And it's quiet at night
The soft silk is fine
And the waves are white
But the wind has died without him
And I scream my smiles
And I want my wires
And I need my stripes
And I read the lines
Until I lid my eyes,
And I'm losing time without him.
And I ignite inside
And I flash with fire
And I limp from life
And I'm blazing blind
And I'm surging live
And give up my mind
When with him

And then every dream inside turns to flames
Fades to grey and is dying
And the smoke rises into a white, blank, bare, broke-open sky

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PIRATESS/OKKERVIL RIVER





Who wrote those lines on the wall?
Let's retrace where they scrawled ancient characters
It's 2:00 and your sister's slip falls
And the afternoon crawls across the room and tackles her
I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through
'Cause I don't believe that you might be a murderess
But I saw inside each small dark eye as it was turning blue
All the strength inside to do just what the captain says and hang the rest
Moved by the rhyme in the psalm
We agreed that it was wrong and to believe in it
Swooned the wall all night long
But a lie is a lie, no matter what guy's breath's in it
I don't know that I would go that far down some dark avenue
With a whispering crew of shadows all protecting it
But I saw inside each small white lie as it was turning true
The ability to do all things expected of it

I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through
'Cause I don't believe that you might be a murderess
Did you hide inside each small white lie before it turning true
The ability to see and to do all the things the captain says

Murderess, in the wilderness
With your victims all around you
Their combined love forms a pool your knife's reflected in
And now I'm read to, with my throat to you
On this mountain, by this moon
What I want the most to do is prove that I'm not like them

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THINK YOU CAN WAIT/THE NATIONAL





I was drifting, crying
I was looking for an island
I was slipping under
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another

I'm out of my mind
Think you can wait?
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait?

We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gone
We've been losing our exits one by one

I'm out of my mind
Think you can wait?
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait?

Did I?
(All I have is all)
Think you can wait?
Did I?
(All I have is all)
Think you can wait?

What I'm thinking is simple
I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple
I won't make trouble
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another

We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gone
We've been losing our exits one by one

I'll try
I'll try, but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)
I'll try, but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)
I'll try, but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WAKE UP AND BE FINE/OKKERVIL RIVER





Someone said to me
I'm coming to your dream
And speaking to you
I already knew
I found her in an attic
Where dramatically
She leaned into to me
She whispered these lines

Wake and be fine
You still got time
To wake and be fine

Graces me with more
Embraces in the streets
Say help me to stranger
Grab on to me
Carrying their years around
It's all been chasing down as we rot
Here at the same time

Can we wake and be fine
We still got time
To wake and be fine

Feelings on the creek
The killers in the crowd
I'm coming apart
A child in house
Lovers in the sheets
Dreaming lovers
Sweetly turning asleep
Along the same beats
Everybody's crashing
The world is calling around
The cupboard and things
The cat couldn't sleep
Someone said to me
It's just a dream
Why don't you wake up and you'll see
It's fine

An the miles racing over
endless fields of snow
You've already heard
You already know
Rescue car finally
lost their heart
And then they shattered their bones
Died all alone
Ships on broken beach
Pirates sails for water
Hot afternoons
Goodbye and good news
Dreams above ahead
Clouds are hard to crash
Loudly and so
Rocks and go survive

Wake and be fine
You've still got time
To wake and be fine

You can be fine
Be fine
Be fine

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LONG TIME/CAKE





It's been a long time
Since I've seen your smiling face
It's been a long time
Since I've seen a sunny day

It's been a long time
Since you wore your pillbox hat
It's been a long time
Since we drove your Pontiac

It's been a long time
Since you gave me butterflies
It's been a long time
Since I seen it burning in your eyes

But I don't mind (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
When I've got you next to me

It's been a long time
Since we tripped into this ditch
It's been a long time
Since we drank the arsenic

It's been a long time
Since we've been inside of this tomb
It's been a long time
Since you wore your expensive french perfume

But I don't mind (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
When I've got you next to me
Next to me

It's been a long time
Since I've seen your smiling face
It's been a long time
Since I've seen a sunny day

VIDEO DIRETTO DA GARTH JENNINGS

I will slip myself into your pocket
Invisible, do what you want
Do what you want
I will sink and I will disappear
I will slip into the groove and cut me up and cut me up

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I'll set you free
I'll set you free
There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
Tonight I'll set you free
I'll set you free

Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flower
Because all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what it is
Just to see what it is
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

We will sink and be quiet as mice
While the cat is away
Do what we want
Do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
And now I set you free
I set you free

Because all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what it
Just to see what it is
Take the lotus flower into my room
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flower
All I want is the moon upon a stick
Dance around a pit
The darkness is beneath
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart
