LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOSTAGES/MESITA

But I was too young to know I may not have any second chances
With all the nice theater kids that you know it's different
And I leave tomorrow anyway
But all I need is a moment alone to tell you all that I have held in
I think i've fallen for you

Don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
Don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
Don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
Nobody gets hurt
Nobody gets hurt
Don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
Don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
Don't say a word

But I was too young to know I may not have any second chances
Bite my tongue
You ain't worth derailing my life for even if I felt you were
But all I need is a moment alone, the stomach to sum up, the courage
And admit that I've fallen for you

Don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
Don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
Don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
Nobody gets hurt
Nobody gets hurt
Don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
Don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
Don't say a word

All that I want for you if only you'd let me in
I want to tell you everything
But I don't say a word

But I was too young to know
All I need is a moment alone
Tell you all that I have held in
And may I never find the time to regret it

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NOTHING/EDITORS

The sun says nothing
By my demise
I fall to the floor
Sparked from your stare
Cascade into light
The start of a war

Monday morning
Hungover and eyes
Hide it all the way
We walk through a crowd of strangers
Two minutes from your door
You've lived there all your life

Every conversation within you
Starts a celebration in me
'Till I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left

Out of it you handle it for everyone
Took a poison dart through my heart and then I'm gone
Out of it you handle it for everyone
Took a poison dart through my heart and then I'm gone

Every conversation within you
Starts a celebration in me
'Till I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left

These floorboards are creaking
My body is old
The sun casts a shadow
A gust that cuts through your bones
Your body and soul
These floorboards are creaking
My body is old
The sun casts a shadow
A gust that cuts through your bones
Your body and soul

Every conversation within you
It starts a celebration in me
'Till I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: REAL TALK/BLOC PARTY

Can we get real
For a moment
You're my one and only friend
Watch the sunset
From your sedan
Let your hand rest on mine

I've lived in every town
But here is where I find home
My mind is open
And my body is yours
Show me the sign

I was so sure
I was fourteen
And not able to lie
But then you crept up on me
While I was dreaming
Whispered love into my ears

I've lived in every town
But here is where I find home
My mind is open
And my body is yours
Show me the sign

If you're tired
I can drive us
We can go back
To my place

My mind is open
And my body is yours
Show me the sign
My mind is open
My mind is open
Show me the sign
Please

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HYPOCRITICAL KISS/JACK WHITE

My temper got the best of me
And when I said that I mean I know every single thing that I said was true
And I know that you're mad at me
But if you're thinking like that, I think you'll see that you're mad at you too

And I know the feeling's strong
Strong enough to forget about all that I've been through
And it sounds obscene but
Loud words never bothered me like they do to you

You're the boy that talks but says nothing
A big game to the ones that you think will believe you
But you don't know how to read
The look on my face when it says yeah I've read that book too
And who the hell's impressed by you?
I want names of the people that we know that are falling for this
You would sell your own mother out
And then betray your dead brother with another hypocritical kiss

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FASCINATION STREET/THE CURE

Oh, it's opening time
Down on Fascination Street
So let's cut the conversation
And get out for a bit
Because I feel it all fading
And paling and I'm begging you
To drag you down with me
To kick the last nail in
Yeah, I like you in that
Like I like you to scream
But if you open your mouth
Then I can't be responsible
For quite what goes in
Or to care what comes out
So just pull on your hair
Just pull on your pout
And let's move to the beat
Like we know that it's over
If you slip going under
Slip over my shoulder
So just pull on your face
Just pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street

So pull on your hair
Pull on your pout
Cut the conversation
Just open your mouth
Pull on your face
Pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street
Fascination Street
Fascination Street
Fascination Street

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THIS TWILIGHT GARDEN/THE CURE

I lift my lips from kissing you
To kiss the sky
Cloud soft and blue
And slow the sun melts down
Into your golden words for me

I lift my hands from touching you
To touch the wind that whispers through
This twilight garden
Turns into a world
Where dreams are real

No one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No one will ever take your place
So in love with you

I lift my eyes from watching you
To watch the star rise shine onto
Your dreaming face and dreaming smile
You're dreaming worlds for me

No one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No one will ever take your place
So in love with you

I lift my lips from kissing you
And kiss the sky wide deepest blue
And slow the moon swims up
Into your golden words for me

No one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No one will ever take your place
So in love with you
No one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No one will ever take your place

ALBUM: HIGH (Single) (1992)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SIGN 'O' THE TIMES/PRINCE

In France a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen year old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called the Disciples
High on crack, toting a machine gun
Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Is telling you somebody died
Sister killed her baby 'cause she could afford to feed it
And were sending people to the moon
In september my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's june
Times, times

Its silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh why
Time, time

Baby make a speech, star wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn
Time, times

Its silly, no?
When a rocket blows
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly
Until a man truly dies
Oh why, oh why, sign o' the times
Time, time

Sign o' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's to late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
Well call him nate, if it's a boy
Time, time
Time, time

ALBUM: SIGN 'O' THE TIMES (1987)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOME IS A FIRE/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

Diretto da Shepard Fairey and Nicholas Harmer

Sleep, sleep with the lights on
Shutter and shades drawn
There's too many windows
Noise, cars on the freeway
Tempting a clean break
There's nowhere left to go
Watching the room tweak
Through cracks in the concrete

Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same

Home, home is a fire
A burning reminder
Of where we belong
With walls built up around us
The bricks make me nervous
They're only so strong love
They're only so strong love

Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
As yesterday
As yesterday

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: JESUS IS A ROCHDALE GIRL/ELBOW

I have a drop of leaf window
With cats and broken yards
Sunflowers and paint cans
And stolen shopping carts
And nothing to be proud of
And nothing to regret
All of that to make as yet
All of that to make as yet

I have a single heartbreak
I celebrate and mourn
A single shining sister
And all the tricks of dawn
Asingle yellow duvet
A single switch to flick
But a thousand boxes yet to tick
And a thousand boxes yet to tick

And Jesus is a Rochdale girl
And forty five cds
Got a house that you can smoke in
So all my friends found me
And they found me full of myself
And bloody minded will
And as yet a box to fill
And as yet a box to fill

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SKIP THE CHARADES/COLD WAR KIDS

You wait on letters
Fishing for any sign of life
Drinks after dinner
Your friends will get you to unwind

Let's skip the charades
Can we just speak plain?

I'm two left feet when
I'm home we tapdanced on broken glass
Somehow you manage
To keep your sense of humor intact

Let's skip the charades
You're seeing right through me anyway
Can we just speak plain?
We're playing for the same team
But I'm the one that's acting like, acting like, acting like
I'm so strong
You're the one that's acting like, acting like, acting like
Nothing's wrong

You dodged the bullet
You do your best when you're busiest
You're disconnected
You can't find your name in the script
It was you who were wildest
It was you who floated above us all
I held on with wires
Will you come back down if I let you go?

Let's skip the charades
You're seeing right through me anyway
Can we just speak plain?
We're playing for the same team
But I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong
You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong
I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong
You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong

Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Now skip the charades

ALBUM: MINE IS YOURS (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: OUR LADY OF LOURDES/PAUL SMITH

There’s a row of houses
Baptised by a mediatrix
Designated for the deaf
But the water has no effect
A door left open
For a man who was smoking
The light hit his forehead
Another figure in the shade

Waving their hands like wands
Shaping your words with their mouths
Waving their hands like wands
Shaping the words
Shaping the words

There’s a sunday social
To stave off the silence
The soldier and the shell
Straining for the church’s bell
Twenty past six
There’s a mass for the mutes
And who doesn’t need the solace
before a weeks worth of strife

Waving their hands like wands
Shaping your words with their mouths
Waving their hands like wands
Shaping the words
Shaping the words

Our lady of Lourdes
Your lips distract me

Waving their hands like wands
Shaping the words with their mouths
Waving their hands like wands
Your lips distract me
Your lips distract me
Your lips distract me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LA MAREGGIATA DEL '66/NON VOGLIO CHE CLARA

Ognuno parli per sé
Di quello che rimane dell'amore
Se te ne vuoi andare
Se tutto quel che ho fatto
Per farti restare
E per tenerti qui
Non è abbastanza
Tu ami l'onda e devi stare
Sempre in fronte al mare
E farti investire

Ma se mi chiederanno
Se ti verrò a cercare
Io, con parole nuove
Gli saprò spiegare
Che ognuno corre per sé
E che la fatica per riaverti qui
Non conta niente
Io amo la terra
E ho da correre
Fino a stancarmi
Per dormire bene

ALBUM: DEI CANI (2010)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SIRENSONG/THE CURE

It could’ve been her golden hair
That turned my head
I didn’t want to stare
Like I was hypnotized
But I was fixed
Without a name or memory
I waited there
Too scared to even breathe
And I was tricked

It could’ve been her silver skin
That drew me on
I didn’t want to spin
Like I was mesmerised
But I was rapt
Without a name or memory
I waited there
Too scared to even breathe
She sang, she sang

Tell me you love me
And beg me to stay
Tell me you love me
Before it’s too late
Give me your life
Or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again

It could’ve been her crystal eyes
That made me stop
I didn’t want to sigh
Like I was stupefied
But I was thrown
Without a name or memory
I waited there
Too scared to even breathe
Or mine alone
She sang, she sang

Tell me you love me
And beg me to stay
Tell me you love me
Before it’s too late
Give me your life
Or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song

ALNUM: 4:13 DREAM (2008)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOUDER THAN EVER/COLD WAR KIDS

All my window are barred
The sun makes stripes to shade
I was sitting round like a zombie
Feeling my own face
I was carrying my cheek
I was digging my strange
I was taking you for granted
You were hole in the rains

But I can hear you louder than ever
Whisper to me
Help me remember
I can't see you but we're still together
That I can hear you louder than ever

It's a slippery slope
Like that mouth strap game
Inside my eternal vision
You stepped on my train

But I can hear you louder than ever
Whisper to me
Help me remember
I can't see you but we're still together
That I can hear you louder than ever

I don't wanna ignore
You were the past of my feelings
We're probably gonna get out of this
Just bail me out anyway
The darkness knockin'
And now I've doubted all my promises
Don't try to pull me out of this
Just lay down by me and wait

But I can hear you louder than ever
Whisper to me
Help me remember
I can't see you but we're still together
That I can hear you louder than ever

I can hear you louder than ever
I can hear you louder than ever
I can hear you louder than ever
I can hear you louder than ever

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: AEON/ANTHONY AND THE JOHNSONS

Aeon
My baby boy
Aeon will take care of me
All the stars, your eyes
Raining just for me
Aeon will set me free
Aeon
My baby boy
Aeon will repair me
Aeon eyes alloyed
His heart enjoyed
Carry me through the olden void
Aeon
His arms are warm
Aeon was never born
Aeon’s eyes forlorn
He contains the storm
He’s the pasture of my dawn
Aeon
Love my father
For my father is myself
Love that man
For it's myself
Without him I wouldn’t exist
Without him I wouldn’t exist
Aeon
My baby boy
Aeon will take care of me
Hold that man
In your tender clutch
Hold that man I love so much
Hold that man I love so much
Aeon

Tell me you've not cut the chord of life on me
Let's do something differently
Let's take our power back
Let's take our power back
It doesn't have to be this way
It doesn't have to be this way
Oh, no
We don't know nothing
Nothing but this world
On, no, no, no, no
Aeon
My baby boy
Aeon will take care of me

ALBUM: THE CRYING LIGHT (2009)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: 2+2=5/RADIOHEAD

Are you such a dreamer?
To put the world to rights
I'll stay home forever
Where two and two always makes up five
I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag and hide
January has april showers
And two and two always makes up five

It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now
Because

You have not been paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
You have not been paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
You have not been paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
You have not been paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention

I try to sing along
I get it all wrong
'Cause I'm not
'Cause I'm not
I swat 'em like flies but
Like flies the burgers
Keep coming back
Not
Maybe not
All hail to the thief
All hail to the thief
But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not
Don't question my authority
Or put me in the dock
'Cause I'm not
'Cause I'm not
Go and tell the king
That the sky is falling in
When it's not
When it's not
When it's not
Maybe not
Maybe not

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I FOUGHT THE ANGELS/THE DELGADOS

I fought the angels here today
Hope my defeat will end this play
Everybody knows that
I only have myself to blame
Everybody knows that
Softly, softly wins the game

Trust I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Knew at the time that they came out
Wish I could have them disallowed
Everybody knows that
We say things we do not mean
Everybody knows that
We say things that are unclean

Trust I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Run conversations in my head
Write my own scripts to dish the dread
And if I speak out loud
I will have to change the rules
For speaking's out of bounds
If it's practised by a fool

Trust I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend
So lend me an ear to lean upon
To speak to and learn my speaking from
