LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GROWN MAN CRY/AMANDA PALMER & THE GRAND THEFT ORCHESTRA

We are standing on the threshold
Of a decent conversation
When I can hear the door slam
I know the face you're making
And I really want to talk to you
I really, really wanted to
But once you get your mind made up
There is no getting through to you
For a while it was touching
For a while it was challenging
Before it became typical
And now it really isn't interesting
To see a grown man cry
To see a grown man cry

I'm lying on the sofa and the radio is blaring
And I'm scanning through the stations as the boys declare their feelings
But it doesn't feel like feelings
It feels like they're pretending
It's like they just want blowjobs
And they know these songs will get them
And I really want to talk to you
I really, really wanted to
But i have learned my lesson now
And you’re not the one I'm turning to
And for a while it was touching
For a while it was challenging
Before it got habitual
And now it really isn't interesting
To see a grown man cry
To see a grown man cry

I was the first to warn you
I lay myself before you
I was the first to warn you
I put myself before you

We are standing on the corner
And you're throwing down the gauntlet
It is not a life decision
We just need to pick a restaurant
After all this I should know you
Well enough not to get into it
I should learn but I'm an idiot
You only want an argument
And for a while it was touching
It was almost even comforting
Before it became typical
And now it really is not interesting
To see a grown man cry
To see a grown man cry
To see a grown man throw a temper fit
To see a grown man cross his arms and sit
As if the whole wide world would end
If he was not a part of it
But at the same time with no confidence
Never realizing the consequence
He's having on the ones he loves
Because he thinks he makes no difference

We are standing on the threshold
Of a decent conversation
When I can hear the door slam
I know the face you're making
And I really want to talk to you
I really, really wanted to
But this time I am giving up
I am simply giving up on you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DO IT WITH A ROCKSTAR/AMANDA PALMER & THE GRAND THEFT ORCHESTRA

Diretto da Wayne Coyne ed Amanda Palmer

Now I lay me down to sleep
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna fight?
Do you wanna get drunk and stay the night?
Knowing what's the price of leave?

Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna fight?
Do you wanna get drunk and stay the night?
Do you wanna smoke till our throats are sore?
Make out and then talk and then make out some more?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna fight?
Do you get drunk and stay the night?
Do you wanna know all the things I do
Where I'm all alone and thinking about you?
Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Do you wanna?
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do it

Do you wanna go back home?
Your animals are all alone
And there's a chicken waiting on the stove
And your cousin left his DVD of Swinging In The 70s
And do you wanna go back home?
Check your messages and charge your phone
Are you really sure you wanna go?
When you could do it with a rockstar
Do it with a rockstar?

Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Fine in a minute

I don't want your body just a part to listen to INXS
All the practice in the world
Won't get me good at loneliness, less
loneliness, less, loneliness, less, less, less, less

Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna fight?
Do you wanna get drunk and stay the night?
Do you want to see all my cavities?
Talk about the crisis in the Middle East?
Do you wanna get really terrified?
Th'icecaps are all melting and we're gonna die
Do you wanna cry?
I can make you cry
Do you wanna hit me baby one more time?
Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Do you wanna?
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do it

Do you wanna go back home?
Your animals are all alone
And there's a chicken waiting on the stove
And your cousin left his DVD of Swinging In The 70s

And do you wanna go back home?
Check your messages and charge your phone
Are you really sure you wanna go?
When you could do it with a rockstar
Do it with a rockstar?

Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Fine in a minute, fine in a minute, fine in a minute
Fine in a minute, fine in a minute, fine in a minute
Fine in a minute, fine in a minute, fine in a

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE FIRST TIME I EVER SAW YOUR FACE/THE FLAMING LIPS AND AMANDA PALMER

Erykah Badu si è tirata indietro. Amanda Palmer invece ha il pelo sullo stomaco, e non solo li.



Diretto da Wayne Coyne

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies, my love

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last 'til the end of time, my love
And last 'til the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face, your face
Your face, your face, your face, your face

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SEX CHANGES/THE DRESDEN DOLLS

Dear Mr. and/or Mrs. sender
We're pleased to inform you that your applications been accepted
Starting from the time you get this letter
Your life will be one never-ending “hope you're feeling better”
You get your choice of an aesthetic
We'll need to chop your clock off (tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock)
It might not be what you expected
There is no money back once you've been ripped off, ripped off, ripped off
Today's a very special day
The boys'll murder for it but what will the neighbors say
It leaves you feeling pretty hollow
It might be nice to look at
Don't forget you're stuck with it tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow

You're big enough to stop pretending
You'll start to really show within a week or so
So don't go saying it's just come to your attention
You'll get more than you're asking for without the right protection
Today's a very special day
And how you'd love to have a little thing with which to play
But love won't get you very far
Today be still your beating heart
You'll have to keep on feeding it tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

Boys will be boys will be boys will be boys will be boys will be boys
Will be girls with no warning
Girls will be girls will be guys will be boys that don't cry over toys that they use to beat girls they despise by the morning
They always said that sex would change you, change you, change you, change you

No second thoughts the knife is nearing
You'll never hear the little pitter, patter, pitter, patter
Of this little feat of engineering
Of course I love you and of course it's what's inside that matters
But I think the whole charade is ending
It seems to me to be the only way to keep from getting
Caught up in a long life of regretting
The doctors said that once you get a taste for it you'll keep on cutting

But while you happen to be here
Why don't you whisper all those sweet forevers in my ear
Stiff upper lip for all this sorrow
Hurry up and stick it in
You never when it will end
Tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow
Tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow
Tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow
Tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow
They always said that sex would change you, change you, change you, change you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ALL IN WHITE/THE VACCINES

Break me on the thirty-seventh hour
Tout me, doubt me, show me all of your power
I will watch you rise on my back from the ground
Friend or foe? I don't know
Do you like what you've found?

Beacause I will one day shine with you
I'll shine on a faithful few

Show we 'low quotations
Have you earned your stripes?
Fabricate salvation
Lord, I know your type
I've known you all my life
I was always wrong, you all in white

Brush my cause aside with little trouble
Oh my god, I think I'm hearing double
I will watch you rise on my back from afar
Friend or foe? I don't know
Now you're up in the stars

But I will one day shine with you
I'll shine on a faithful few

Show we 'low quotations
Have you earned your stripes?
Fabricate salvation
Lord, I know your type
I've known you all my life
I was always wrong, you all in white

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GET SOME/LYKKE LI

Don't pull your pants before I go down
Don't turn away, this is my time
Don't make demands, I don't take none
Just say a prayer that it gon' get done
Don't pull your pants before I go down
Don't turn away, this is my time
Like a shotgun needs an outcome
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some
Like a shotgun needs an outcome
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some

Go ahead, go way low, where I can do no harm
Go ahead, go way low in my honey lovin' arms
Go ahead, go way low, where I can do no wrong
Got you around my finger like a lonely lover's charm
Like a lonely lover's charm

And 'cause I can go, I'm gon' go west
Just like a man, I'm the fortress
Like a shotgun, I can't be outdone
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some
Like a shotgun needs an outcome
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some

Go ahead, go way low, where I can do no harm
Go ahead, go way low in my honey lovin' arms
Go ahead, go way low, where I can do no wrong
Got you around my finger like a lonely lover's charm
Like a lonely lover's charm

Go ahead, go

Go ahead, go way low, where I can do no harm
Go ahead, go way low in my honey lovin' arms
Go ahead, go way low, where I can do no wrong
Got you around my finger like a lonely lover's charm
Go ahead, go way low, where I can do no harm
Go ahead, go way low in my honey lovin' arms
Go ahead, go way low, where I can do no wrong
Got you around my finger like a lonely lover's charm
Like a lonely lover's charm

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: POST BREAK-UP SEX/THE VACCINES

I can barely look at you
Don’t tell me who you lost it to
Didn’t we say we had a deal?
Didn’t I say how bad I feel?
Everyone needs a helping hand
Who said I would not understand?
Someone up the social scale
For when you’re going off the rails

Have post break-up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect from post break-up sex?

Leave it ’til the guilt consumes
I found you in the nearest room
All our friends were unaware
Most had just passed out downstairs
To think I’d hoped you’d be okay
Now I can’t think of what to say
Maybe I misunderstood
But I can’t believe you’re feeling good

From post break-up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect from post break-up sex?

Post break-up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect from post break-up sex?

When you love somebody but you find someone
And it all unravels and it comes undone

Post break-up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect from post break-up sex?
Post break-up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect from post break-up sex?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE WHORES HUSTLER AND THE HUSTLERS WHORE/PJ HARVEY

Speak to me of universal laws
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
All around me people bleed
Speak to me your song of greed

Speak to me of your inner charm
Of how you'll keep me safe from harm
I don't think so, I don't see
Speak to me of your inner peace

Little people at the amusement park
City people in the dark
Speak to us, send us a sign
Tell us something to keep us trying

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustler and the hustlers whore
This city's ripped right to the core

Speak to me of heroin and speed
Of genocide and suicide, of syphilis and greed
Speak to me the language of love
The language of violence
The language of the heart
This isn't the first time I've asked for money or love
Heaven and earth don't ever mean enough
Speak to me of heroin and speed
Just give me something I can believe

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustler and the hustlers whore
This city's ripped right to the core

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CRIMINAL/FIONA APPLE

I've been a bad, bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad, sad world
When a girl will break a boy just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand
But I keep living this day like the next will never come
Help me but don't tell me to deny it
I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies 'till I'm good enough for him
I've got a lot to lose and I'm bettin' high so I'm begging you
Before it ends just tell me where to begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a play
To make my lover stay
So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know

What I need is a good defense
Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NO I IN THREESOME/INTERPOL

Through the storms and the light
Babe you've stood by my side
And life is wine
But there are days in this life
When you see the teeth marks of time
Two lovers divide
Sound meets sound babe
The echoes they sorround
And know that we need is one thing
Now what is there to allow?
Babe it's time we give something new a try
Alone we may fight
So just let us be three

And baby tonight
I see your lips are on fire
And life is wine
Now the windows are open the moon is so bright
There's no one can tell us what love brings
You and I
Sound meets sound babe
Her echoes they surround
And know that we need is one thing
Now what is there to allow
Babe it's time we give something new a try
Alone we may fight
So just let us be three tonight
Through the storms and the light
Baby, you've stood by my side
And life is wine
You feel the sweet breath of time
It's whispering its truth not mine
There's no I in threesome

And I am all for it
Babe it's time we give something new a try
Alone we may fight
And feathers bend like trees in the moonlight
Babe it's time we give something new a try
Alone we may fight
So just let us be three tonight

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STELLA WAS A DIVER AND SHE WAS ALWAYS DOWN/INTERPOL

When she walks down the street
She knows there’s people watching
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her
She once fell through the street
Down the manhole in a that bad way
The underground drip
It's just like her scuba days

Days
Daze
Days
Daze

She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight
She broke away
She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, airtight
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away


Bottom of the ocean she dwells
Bottom of the ocean she dwells
From crevices caressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells

Stella
Stella
Stella
Stella I love you
Stella I love you
Stella I love you

She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight
She broke away
She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, airtight
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away

Well she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
Well she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
She went down, down, down there into the sea
She went down, down, down there, down there for me
Right on
Right on, it’s so good
Right on, it’s so good

There's something that's invisible
There's some things you can't hide
Try to detect you when I'm sleeping
In a wave you say goodbye

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SHE WANTS TO MOVE/N.E.R.D.

Shake it up
Shake it up girl
Shake it up bass
Hey Shake it up
Shake it up

She makes me think of lightning in skies
She's sexy
How else is God supposed to write
She's sexy
Move, she wants to move
But you're hogging her, you're guarding her
She wants to move
She wants to move
But you're hogging her, you're guarding her

Mister! Look at your girl, she loves it
I can see it in her eyes
She hopes this lasts forever

Her off beat dance makes me fantasize
She's sexy
Her ass is a spaceship I want to ride
She's sexy
Move, she wants to move
But you're hogging her, and guarding her
She wants to move
She wants to move
But you're hogging her, you're guarding her

Mister! Look at your girl, she loves it
I can see it in her eyes
She hopes this lasts forever

This is your part girl
This is your part girl
C'mon

But you're hogging her, you're guarding her
Beat it

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NOT FAIR/LILY ALLEN

Oh, he treats me with respect
He says he loves me all the time
He calls me fifteen times a day
He likes to make sure that I'm fine
You know I've never met a man
Who's made me feel quite so secure
He's not like all them other boys
They're all so dumb and immature
There's just one thing that's getting in the way
When we go up to bed, you're just no good, it's such a shame
I look into your eyes, I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise and it's apparent it's all over

It's not fair and I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
Oh, you're supposed to care
But you never make me scream
You never make me scream
Oh, it's not fair and it's really not ok
It's really not ok
It's really not ok
Oh, you're supposed to care
But all you do is take
Yeah, all you do is take

Oh, I lie here in the wet patch
In the middle of the bed
I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by
I spent ages givin' head
Then I remember all the nice things
That you've ever said to me
Maybe I'm just overreacting
Maybe you're the one for me
There's just one thing that's getting in the way
When we go up to bed you're just no good, it's such a shame
I look into your eyes, I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise and it's apparent it's all over

It's not fair and I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
Oh, you're supposed to care
But you never make me scream
You never make me scream
Oh, it's not fair and it's really not ok
It's really not ok
It's really not ok
Oh, you're supposed to care
But all you do is take
Yeah, all you do is take

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BALLATA PER LA MIA PICCOLA IENA/AFTERHOURS

Lei rise. Non era una risata piacevole. "Vuoi fermarti un po' con me, prima? Sono educativa. Sai che cosa dicono... Non esiste niente di più magro, di più cattivo, e di più osceno di Iena."
ANANSI BOYS (I Ragazzi di Anansi)/NEIL GAIMAN




L'autista che ti guida ha una sola mano
Ma vede cio che credi invisibile
Nel tuo piccolo mondo fra piccole iene
Anche il sole sorge solo se conviene
Fra piccole iene, solo se conviene
Mia piccola iena, solo se conviene
L'amore rende soli, ma è ben più doloroso
Se per nemici e amici non sei più pericoloso
La testa è così piena che non pensi più
Ti si aprono le gambe oppure le hai aperte tu?
Aiutami a trovare qualcosa di pulito
Uccidi ma non vuoi morire
Uccidi ma non vuoi morire
Fra piccole iene, solo se conviene
Mia piccola iena, solo se conviene
Non puoi scordare dove son state le tue labbra
Sai già come sarà, ma non sai più chi sei
La testa è così piena, non riesci più a pensare
Che anche senza te si possa ancora respirare
Quello che hai appena fatto
Ti ha fatto stare meglio
Chi uccide poi non vuol morire
Uccidi ma non vuoi morire
Fra piccole iene, solo se conviene
Fra piccole iene, solo se conviene
Mia piccola iena, solo se conviene
Mia piccola iena, solo se conviene
