LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: IN BLOOM/NIRVANA

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
when I say
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
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
when I say
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
when I say yeah

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
when I say
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
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means and I say yeah

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HEART-SHAPED BOX/NIRVANA

Diretto da ANTON CORBIJN

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

She has me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
Your advice
Your advice

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YOU KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT/NIRVANA

I will never bother you
I will never promise to
I will never follow you
I will never bother you
Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put in to this
I always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail

Pain
You know you're right

I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
Steaming soup against her mouth
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew to come like this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail

Pain
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
Pain

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: RAPE ME/NIRVANA

Rape me
Rape me my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me my friend

Am I the only one?
Am I the only one?
Am I the only one?
Am I the only one?

My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn

Rape me
Rape me my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

Rape me

ASCOLTI: FURTHER COMPLICATIONS/JARVIS COCKER

Direttamente dall'homepage del sito ufficiale, il divertentissimo filmato di Jarvis alle prese con le lettere che compongono il suo nome. Il font è quello usato per il lettering della geniale cover del nuovo album, Further Complications. Ma se l'artwork è un autentico capolavoro nerd, il suono del disco è decisamente più rude: la produzione di Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies) si sente eccome, è addirittura invadente, e spesso sembra rubare la scena ell'ex leader dei Pulp, sovrastando il suo stile elegante ed ironico, e fondamentalmente innocuo. Tra le cose migliori, il singolo Angela (disponibile in download gratuito), la strumentale Pilchard, e la ballata Leftlovers. Decisamente meno godibili, invece, gli episodi più garage (Homewrecker!, Caucasian Blues), nei quali Jarvis sembra un pesce fuor d'acqua.
Decisamente meglio il silenzio del filmato...
