LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MECHANICS OF EMOTION/ELSIANE

Some of us were never contemplating
Or isolating rationality
Some of us were never born the same
We might somehow have been so ignored by this
In many other times you've been my faith
I maybe often found you made my world make sense
Have many of my scars become my pain
Are many more to come
In maybe some other life

You've given me the chance to walk away near
I'm so alone in me, oh never want to tell
You're bringing me the chance to complicate things
I'm so lost in this oh never want to spare
How am I supposed to heal you
And reach your love and reach your love
Why am I so forced to keep you
And reach your love and reach your love

Remembering those times when you were never safe
You're trapped in all the shadows of your pain
But sadly you were never back the same way
I've always tried to bring you life again

How am I supposed to heal you
How am I supposed to reach you
How am I supposed to heal you
How am I supposed to reach you

And reach your love and reach your love however
And reach your love and reach your love forever

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE PRIZE/GRAVENHURST

Every time you come around
The warning sign in my head just gets drowned out
By waves of anticipation
Breaking vows as I make them
To chase that dream just one last time around
Chase that dream just one last time around

Bad karma hangs like cancerous lanterns
A poisonous glow, a poisonous glow
When the house lights turn reveal cigarette burns and the tired line
Of last night's cries of despair
That emanate from the underpass and echo back to anywhere, to anywhere
Still the ties that bind us blind us to the emptiness of the prize, of the prize

Once more walking into town
You make the calls, I keep my eyes to the ground
In waves of anticipation
Breaking vows as I make them
To chase that dream just one last time around
Chase that dream just one last time around

Bad karma hangs like cancerous lanterns
A poisonous glow, a poisonous glow
when the house lights turn reveal cigarette burns and the tired line
Of last night's cries of despair
That emanate from the underpass and echo back to anywhere, to anywhere
Still the ties that bind us blind us to the emptiness of the prize, of the prize
Still the ties that bind us blind us to the emptiness of the prize, of the prize
Still the ties that bind us blind us to the emptiness of the prize, of the prize
Still the ties that bind us blind us to the emptiness of the prize, of the prize

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CONTROL/GARBAGE

The world might end, the night might fall
Rain on down and cover us all
And drown us with the burden of our sins
Maybe I'll look you in the eye tell you
You don't wanna die
Maybe I'll hold my breath and jump right in
Maybe I'll hold my breath and jump right in

I never saw you coming from inside my little prison
Your autograph would really bide me time
If you think you are the reason
Give me something to believe in
It's always darkest right before the dawn
It's always darkest right before the dawn

I confess I've lost control
I let my guard down
I let the truth out
I confess I've lost control
I let my guard down
I let the truth out

Final celebration of bad hallucination
Flip a coin and see which way I fall
The charlatan is singing
We love to watch him killing
And suffer through a never-ending day
Suffer through a never-ending day

I can feel I've lost control
I let my guard down
I let the truth out
I can feel I've lost control
You let your guard down
You let the truth out

I was trapped like a prisoner in my skin
I was punished like an enemy for my sins
I was blind
I was caged
And I was tricked
And I was suffocating
I was suffocating

I can feel I've lost control
I can feel I've lost control

I can feel we've lost control
I was suffocating
I confess I've lost control
I was suffocating
I was suffocating

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WEIGHTS & MEASURES/DRY THE RIVER

I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you

If the spirit has left you baby
Don't lie to yourself
Put them old records on
And admit that it's gone somewhere else
Just because we're beasts of blame by nature
Doesn't mean that you should carry it again
It's a question of needs and not rosary beads in the end

I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you
And there's no patron saint of sudden restraint
Baby there ain't no sword in a lake
Just a funeral wake

And in comes the black night
Calling your name since you were born
I couldn't hear it
I was empty as a drum

I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you
And there's no patron saint of sudden restraint
Baby there ain't no sword in a lake
Just a funeral wake

No Time
No Time

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE SAME THING/CASS McCOMBS

Like a ring
Gone down the drain
Our love in sunlight
At evening pain
Like vermin
Roman sewers bring
Pain and love
Are the same thing
Are the same thing

In my opinion we are the red birth mark
From the old storybook
Equal light, equal dark
Now let’s flip a coin to see now who’s yin and who is yang
It defies opinion whether they’re the same thing

Nothing in common
Our blood thicker than broth
We’re cut from different sides of the same cloth
Our love in sunlight
Our pain at evening
Have nothing in common yet they’re both the same thing
The same thing

The same street
The same address
The same white hair
The same black dress
The same sameness
From opposites cling
Pain and love
Are the same thing
Are the same thing

In my opinion a line is never crossed
Until now I was my inner feelings were always lost
Through spirit or season
Does the human voice does sing?
Death and opinion they are the same thing

Nothing in common
Our blood thicker than broth
We’re cut from different sides of the same cloth
Our love in sunlight
Our pain at evening
Have nothing in common yet they’re both the same thing
The same thing

Nothing in common
Our blood thicker than broth
We’re cut from different sides of the same cloth
Our love in sunlight
Our pain at evening
Have nothing in common yet they’re both the same thing
The same thing

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TEFLON HEART/CAGED ANIMALS

You brought me to the cinema
Bought me a tarantula
Put them in my camera
And shot my heart
You cure my hypochondria
Blow away insomnia
Try to teach me how to put and make me smile

You got a teflon heart
And nothing sticks to you
You got a teflon heart
I think I want one too
I want one too

I know you know I'm not bushwa
You break like I'm replica
A ghost inside your retina
That only you can see
You took a sit up to you Tobia
Made me watch Magnolia
Told me crazy stories
Partly truth and make-believe

You got a teflon heart
And nothing sticks to you
You got a teflon heart
I think I want one too
I want one too

You got a teflon heart
And nothing sticks to you
You got a teflon heart
I think I want one too
I want one too

Teflon heart
Sticks to you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CALLED OUT IN THE DARK/SNOW PATROL

It’s like we just can’t help ourselves
'Cause we don’t know how to back down
We were called out to the streets
We were called out into the towns
How the heaven’s they opened up
Black arms of dazzling gold
With our rain washed histories
When we’re do not need to be told

Show me now
Show me the arms aloft
Every eye trained on a different star
This my chick
This drunken centerfold

We are listening and we’re not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we’re not blind
This is your life, this is your time

I was called out in the dark
By a choir of beautiful sheets
Now it’s the kids took back the parks
You and I were left with the streets

Show me now
Show me the arms aloft
Every eye trained on a different star
This my chick
This drunken centerfold

We are listening and we’re not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we’re not blind
This is your life, this is your time

We are listening and we’re not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we’re not blind
This is your life, this is your time

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SHUFFLE/BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB

Weight is coming off
Soaring high
Pleading you to stay
Come alive
Say you need to sing it out
Say you wanna try
Say you haven’t had enough
Say you wanna

Once you get the feeling
It wants you back for more
Says it's gonna heal again
You won’t make the call
One step back, you’re leaving it
But now it’s moving on
Why won’t you believe in it
Until it’s gone

Fading out the light
Softly saying
Get it out my mind
Anyway
Say you need to sing it out
Say you wanna try
Say you haven’t had enough
Say you wanna

Once you get the feeling
It wants you back for more
It says it’s gonna heal again
You won’t make the call
One step back, you’re leaving it
Now it’s moving on
Why won’t you believe in it
Until it’s gone

Once you get the feel of it
It wants you back for more
Now it get’s a feel of it
Feeling it on the floor
One step, like you needed it
Jumping at the wall
Why won’t you believe in it
Until it’s gone

You gave to me, all I know
I will stay here
You gave to me, all I know
I will stay here
I will not go

Running out
You can make it through it
Running out
you can make it all

Once you get the feeling
It wants you back for more
It says it’s gonna heal again
You won’t make the call
One step back, you’re leaving it
Now it’s moving on
Why won’t you believe in it
Until it’s gone

Once you get the feel of it
It wants you back for more
Now it get’s a feel of it
Feeling it on the floor
One step, like you needed it
Jumping at the wall
Why won’t you believe in it
Until it’s gone

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HAWAIIAN AIR/FRIENDLY FIRES

Taking a ride to another clime
Knees in my back 'cause we’re flying high
Did I give it all
I guess I gave it all
Seeing the mountains through the fog
Watching a film with a talking dog
‘Cause if I fall
Then I guess I fall

Hawaiian air, hawaiian air
Hawaiian air, hawaiian air

Leaving the world down beneath the clouds
Hawaiian notes, don’t need no pounds
Did I give them all, did I give them all?
Ache in my leg from a broken seat
Skipping the meal for a g & t
‘Cause if I fall
I'm begging not to fall

Hawaiian air, hawaiian air
Hawaiian air, hawaiian air

Touching down, hit the ground
(I'm breathing new air)
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in
As we land you pinch my hand
(We’re still here)
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

Up in the sky Honolulu bound
Steel guitar and a mele sound
Did I give it all, I guess I gave it all
Feeling the shakes keeps me reticent
Stuck in my seat from the turbulence
And if I fall
Then I fall

Breaking open skies and green earths
Around them we float
Deserts in our eyes were falling
Our hearts are not broke

Hawaiian air, hawaiian air
Hawaiian air, hawaiian air

Touching down, hit the ground
(I'm breathing new air)
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in
As we land you pinch my hand
(We’re still here)
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

As the wheels, hit the ground
I'm breathing hawaiian air
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in
As the heat fills my lungs
I'm breathing hawaiian air
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

Hawaiian air, hawaiian air
Hawaiian air, hawaiian air

ALBUM: VELOCIRAPTOR! (2011)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE RIDDLE/NIK KERSHAW

I got two strong arms
Blessings of Babylon time
To carry on and try for sins and false alarms
So to America the brave wise men save

Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you

I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
For anything but light
Wise men fighting over you

It's not me, you see
Pieces of Valentine
And just a song of mine
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold

Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you

I got time to kill
Sly looks in corridors without a plan of yours
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Wise men child

Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight
Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you
No he'll never, never fight over you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN/CULTS

I, I can't take things slowly
Come let away that's what they all do
Help me cause I'm feeling shaky
Tell me what's wrong with my brain
'Cause I seem to have lost it

'Cause I am afraid of the light
You know what I mean
And I can't sleep alone at night
You know what I mean

Lonely, that's not quite my problem
I have all I need, haven't quite lost it
I try so hard to be happy
'Cause something goes on once again
Please, please come and save me
Tell me what's wrong with my brain
'Cause I seem to have lost it

'Cause I am afraid of the light
You know what I mean
'Cause I can't sleep alone at night
You know what I mean
'Cause I am afraid of the light
You know what I mean
'Cause I can't sleep alone at night
You know what I mean

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MICROSCOPE/MADS LANGER

If you put my heart under a microscope
You probably gonna wonder
Why it's in such a critical condition
And if it scares you of to look at my horoscope
I'm not gonna blame you
I'm not gonna wonder
I am holding on to someone I can't hold no more
And sadly I've been here before
I can't let go, no
I am reaching out for someone
I can't reach no more
It feels like my heart is nailed to the floor

I guess I've sacrifices everything for my dreams
And now it's completely out of control
Things are not at all as they seem
But it is hard to navigate in a chaotic mind
It's easier to ask for forgiveness
And for permission
I am holding on to someone
I can't hold no more
And sadly I've been here before
I can't let go no
I am reaching out for someone
I can't reach no more
It feels like my heart is nailed to the floor

If you put my heart under a microscope
You probably gonna wonder
Why it's in such a critical condition

ALBUM: BEHOLD (2011)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOLDIN ON TO BLACK METAL/MY MORNING JACKET

It's a darkness you can't deny
But it don't belong in a grown up mind
Distortion finds its place in a youngsters eyes
Coming into life you need its grind
But at a certain point you got to let it go
Or it will cross the permanent threshold
You know you gotta find it out in something else good
Oh, black metal you're so misunderstood!

Holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Black metal you've been holding on too long

Oh, black metal so misunderstood
Deep black service under Lucifer's hood
Black metal steals souls young, enough is enough
Wants refills out of Lucifer's cup
Black metal need to be and your teenage pop
Look at you starchild ur all grown up
But still holdin on to black metal
Still holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Still holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Black metal you've been holding on too long

Catching waves on Lucifer's beach
Taking shade underneath Lucifer's trees
Getting sustenance from Lucifer's peach
Oh, black metal it's a fact in all your speech

Holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Black metal you've been holding on too long

(Black metal, black metal)
Oh, bring them to me
(Black metal)
Oh, making me think
(Black metal)
One, two, three, let's rock
