LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HUNTER AND THE HUNTED/SIMPLE MINDS

Shooting from the hip
About our faith and love
I see it in your faces thin as shadow
See me as I figure in your late night plan
See me as I'm cocooned up in Badlands
The side effects of cruising at the speed of life
The side effects of living in temptation
When only one star is waiting up on all of us
You'll see me as I'm cocooned up in Badlands
And how do I feel living in the eighties
And do I get to see the light of day

Kyoto in the snow but heaven's far away
Sending their love, passion parade
Hunter and the hunted
With me first time can never lie

They were young, they were brave, they were the honest set
The greatest show on earth is here tonight, love
See me as a figure in the late night plan
See me as I'm cocooned up in Badlands
The side effects of cruising at the speed of life
The side effects of living in temptation
When only one star is waiting up on all of us
You'll see me as I'm cocooned up in Badlands
And how do I feel living in the eighties
And do I get to see the light of day

Kyoto in the snow but heaven's far away
Sending their love, passion parade
Hunter and the hunted
With me first time can never lie

Only with you
Only with you
Time can never lie
Life moves so fast
Only with you
Life moves so fast
Hunter and the hunted

Only with you
Life moves so fast
And when I'm with you
Life moves so fast
Through the eyes of love
So fast
Through the eyes of love

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LIFE IN A DAY/SIMPLE MINDS

Life in a day
The price that you pay
For time that you spent
It's such a fatal event
Take a look at my watch
There is no time to wait
Take a look deep inside
There's no escape from this day
Life in a day
Life in a day
Take a look around you
Is it true what they say
Life in a day
Life in a day
No sence in looking for you
For sure they'll get you one day

Can you see how they run
Do you believe what they say
They'll soon be looking for you
For sure they'll get you one day
The premonition came true
Look all around and you'll see
Some say it takes two to know
Or could it all just be me
Life in a day
Life in a day
I love to see how they run
They came a running this way
Life in a day
Life in a day
Is there no place to hide
Could there be some other way

ALBUM: LIFE IN A DAY (1979)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HYPNOTISED/SIMPLE MINDS

I can feel the whole world spinning around
I'm losing ground
I feel it every day
And I can feel you coming inside out
I'm losing touch with all reality

I remember the look in your eyes
The way that they pulled me inside
All I've got now in my defence is my innocence
I've been hypnotised

I can hear the church bells ringing out
Reminds me of some bright and sunshine day
When all the pretty horses you would ride
Would come right back to feel your energy

I still remember the look in your eyes
The way that they fooled me inside
All I've got now in my defence
Is my innocence
I've been hypnotised

You know it won't be easy
It's never easy
I've been hypnotised
So tell me what you think
Do you think I'll sink number one scapegoat?
I'm the missing link
All I know I've been hypnotised

It won't be easy

If you've got a heart that burns inside
Let me get inside let me tangle with the flames
If you've got a light that burns inside
The heat will rise and melt down once again

I still remember the look in your eyes
The way that they fooled me inside
All I've got now in my defence
Is my innocence
I've been hypnotised
All I've got now in my defence
Is my innocence
I've been hypnotised

So tell me what you think
Do you think I'll sink number one scapegoat?
I'm the missing link
All I know I've been hypnotised

Maybe there's a way I can find a way
Final hour judgement day
All I know, I've been hypnotised
And then I realized

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DON'T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME)/SIMPLE MINDS

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away

Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on call my name
Will you all my name?

ALBUM: THE BREAKFAST CLUB (Soundtrack) (1985)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GHOSTDANCING/SIMPLE MINDS

Cities, buildings falling down
Satellites come crashing down
I see them falling out the skies like eagles
All mirrored glass and shattered egos
But in a corner of the world we'd meet
To laugh and drink and plan our sequels
'Cause in the alleyways and bars downtown
They're singing up from here to there can we go
This city comes alive at night, see these city walls are heaving
And if these old city walls should crash
Amid the rubble you'd find us breathing
Come say what you see in me
'Cause boy, I believe in you
Come say what you're seeing
All gone just ghost dancing
Going all the way through

You talk about the Lebanon
You tell me 'bout the Dawn in Eden
You talk about South Africa
I tell you about the Irish children
You say one more Polish Knight could come
And blow away the doors to Freedom
And if Mother Ethiopia could blow away the tears that we see run
Blow them away
Blow, blow away
We Will blow them away
Blow, blow away
Blow, blow away
Blow, blow away

Come say what you see in me
'Cause boy, I believe in you
Come say what you're seeing
They're all gone just ghost dancing
Going all the way through

You know I believe in you
Oh yes I believe, you know I believe in you
You say you believe
I believe, I believe, going all the way through
Come take me back home, come on and take me away
Ghost Dancing

The car pulled up, the girl she jumped in
The boy he wore a medal that was shining from his skin
With the windows pulled up, their radio tuned in
She's hitting from the stars, he's hitting for the moon
She said, one last kiss while you look across the Land
Move it into overdrive and take me by my hand
When the car broke, the rebels saw smoke
And they all went to heaven in a stupid fantasy, go
Take me away

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LIGHT TRAVELS/SIMPLE MINDS

Light travels through the universe
It arrives, it remains
Things get better after things get worst
I feel the same
Nothing's changed
Nothing's changed

Worlds unravel at the all of us
they arrive, they refrain
Things get better after things get worst
I feel the same
Nothing's changed
But there's no need to worry
Hello hello
There's anybody home?
But there's no need to worry
Hello, hello
See them come, see them go, see, see them all

Light travels through the universe
It arrives, it remains
Things get better after things get worst
I feel the same
Nothing's changed
But there's no need to worry
Hello hello
There's anybody home?
But there's no need to worry
Hello, hello
See them come, see them go
But there's no need to worry
There's anybody home?
But there's no need to worry

Hello, hello

Light travels through the universe

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STREET FIGHTING YEARS/SIMPLE MINDS

Chased you out of this world, didn't mean to stop
I turned around and suddenly you where gone
Like some bird from paradise, the fire and ice
We turned around and suddenly you where gone, gone, gone
And now summer burns a hole inside and years are golden once again
My thoughts return to you my dear young friend

Oh come this way
Will you look down this way
I go down on the street
Where the wild wind's blowing
Here comes a hurricane

I say come down this way
Will you look down this way
I need you tonight
I need you around me

I'm looking through the windows
And my mind goes in a whirl
Well there's a multitude of candles
Burning in the windows of this world
I'm looking at the colours
Checking out the straights
I'm counting out the numbers
Will tomorrow never change?

Still I hear you and I love you
And I'll follow you elsewhere
And I'll remember this occasion
I'll remember being aware

'Cause we've got panic in the evening
We've got fall-out in the streets
And I hear you and I follow you
And I'll call out and I'll say
That I can hear your sister call out
And I hear her call your name
They're calling sweet surrender
And things won't be the same
And don't you think that I don't care
And don't you think that I don't know
And don't you hear them calling out
In a place not far from here

And I hear big wheels are turning
Some things are not to fear
They say this is the time and place
They call street fighting years

And I hear great wheels are turning
And I tell you not to fear
They say this is the time and place
They call street fighting years

And I love you, I look for you
And I walk to you, I walk to you
And I hear big wheels are turning
Is there no way out of here?
They'll be calling out tomorrow

ALBUM: STREET FIGHTING YEARS (1989)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ONCE UPON A TIME/SIMPLE MINDS

And you
Yes you speak to me tonight
And you say so, say so
That once upon a time
When love, love was a white dove
And hope, long live hope, could spin the whole world 'round
I'm talking east to west
I'm talking lost and found
Get up to the mountain top
I'm going to drop unto the ground
That's once upon a time
You raise me up when I know you're around
But God only knows, what God only knows
You lift me up and you spin me around
God only knows, but God only knows
That's time
Time looked around herself
Time got excited
That's when we all got started
Still I hear you, yes still you speak to me tonight
You say then how come out of love, is all this cruelty arising?
Well I said, look, well will you look at you, you're frightened
I see that you smile through weariness
But there is not much else enlightened
Well, that's a question down to time
You life me up when I know you're around
God only knows, God only knows
Still you raise me up when I know you're around
God only knows, God only knows
That's time
