LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE CROWNING/A CAMP

Brighten the corners and clear out the room
Color the flowers in rose and maroon
Light up the fires and season this wine
We're gonna party like it's 1699
Slaughter the rabbits, the ducks and the boares
And lay all the tables and open the doors
Crème de la crème will be waiting on one guest of honor

Up go the curtains and down go the virgines
Oh no, mothers are crying
Ladies of virtue will stand to accuse you of heartbreak and theaft
Bells are gonna ring, birds are gonna sing, let the people begin
The crowning of your big head

Young drunken girls sit in hideous dens
Sing a heart found a meant of a death of romance
Beautiful boys turning offer their cheeks
Preening and prancing the outcome looks bleak
Good times are rolling but outside these walls
Our houses will crumble, this city will fall
But a few broken ponds don't mean nothing to our guest of honor

So let's raise our glasses to murderes asses like you
May you sleep soundly
Once we had laughter you got what you're after
You wear it well
Bells are gonna ring, birds are gonna sing, let the people begin
He had the hearts of hounding
We're all witnessing the crowning
Of your big bleeding head

Bells are gonna ring, birds are gonna sing, let the people begin
He had the hearts of hounding
Your eyes nothing but astounding
We're all witnessing the crowning
On your useless, ruthless head

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CARNIVAL/THE CARDIGANS

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now
I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

Carnival came by my town today
Bright lights from giantwheels
Fall on the alleyways
And I'm here by my door
Waiting for you

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now
I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

I here sounds of lovers
Barrel organs, mothers
I would like to take you
Down there just to make you
Mine in a merry-go-round

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now
I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH/THE CARDIGANS

Hey baby, come 'round
Keep holding me down
And I'll be keeping you up tonight

A 4-letter word got stuck in my head
The dirtiest word that I've ever said
It's making me feel alright

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I'm gonna run, run, run
Till the sweetness gets to you
And what is worse, I love you!

Hey, please baby, come back
There'll be no more loving attacks
And I'll be keeping it cool tonight
The 4-letter word is out of my head
Come on around, get back in my bed
Keep making me feeling alright

For what it's worth, I like you
And what is worse, I really do
Things have been worse
And we had fun, fun, fun
Till I said I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do, oh
For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YOUR LOVE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH/MANIC STREET PREACHERS FEAT. NINA PERSSON

Your love alone is not enough, not enough, not enough
When times get tough, they get tough, they get tough, they get tough
Trade all your heroes in for ghosts, in for ghosts, in for ghosts
They’re always the one’s who love you most, love you most, love you most

Your love alone is not enough, not enough, not enough
It’s what you felt, it’s what you said, what you said, what you said
You said the sky would fall on you, fall on you, fall on you
Through all the pain your eyes stayed blue, they stayed blue, baby blue

But your love alone won’t save the world
You knew the secret of the universe
Despite it all you made it worse
It left you lonely
It left you cursed

You stole the sun straight from my heart, from my heart, from my heart
With no excuses, just fell apart, fell apart, fell apart
No you won’t make a mess of me, mess of me, mess of me
For you’re as blind as a man can be, man can be, man can be

I could have seen for miles and miles
I could have made you feel alive
I could have placed us in exile
I could have written all your lines
I could have shown you how too cry

Your love alone is not enough
Your love alone is not enough

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I NEED SOME FINE WINE AND YOU, YOU NEED TO BE NICER/THE CARDIGANS

Sit, good dog, stay, bad dog, down, roll over

Well here's a good man and a pretty young girl
Trying to play together somehow
I'm wasting my life, you're changing the world
I get drunk and watch your head grow

It's the good times that we share
And the bad times that we'll have
It's the good times
and the bad times that we had

Well it's been a long slow collision
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog

So I need some fine wine, and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times
That we'll have

Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends
Till I go and kill the bottle
I go off over any old thing
Break your heart
And raise a glass or ten

To the good times that we shared
And the bad times that we'll have
To the good times
And the bad time that we've had

Well it's been a long slow collision
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog

So I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times
And the bad times we know will come
I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
You need to be nicer
You need

For the good times
And the bad time that we had
Sit

Good times, bad times
Sweet wine, bad wine
Good cop, bad cop
Lapdog, bad dog
Sit
