LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WATCHING ME FALL/THE CURE

I've been watching me fall for it seems like years
Watching me grow small, I watch me disappear
Slipping out my ordinary world, out my ordinary eyes
Slipping out the ordinary me into someone else's life
Into someone else's life

There's a thin white cold new moon and the snow is coming down
And the neon bright Tokyo lights flicker through the crowd
I've been drifting around for hours and I’m lost and I’m tired
When a whisper in my ear insatiable breathes
Why don't you follow me inside?

Yeah, the room is small, the room is bright
Her hair is black, the bed is white
And the night is always young
Is always young, always young
The night is always young

I’ve been seeing them strip to the bone in the mirror on the wall
Seeing her swallow him whole like it's not me at all
She holds out her hands and I follow her down to my knees
And the sucking inside insatiable smiles
You will forget yourself in me

Yeah, the room is small, the room is bright
Her eyes are black, the bed is white
And the night is always young
And the night goes on and on
And the night is always young
And the night is never over and over and over and over and over
And then it's gone
And then it's gone
Yeah then it's gone

It's a cruel mean cold new day and outside the snow is still coming down
And in the blood red Tokyo bed I watch me coming round
She pulled him down for hours
Deeper than I’ve ever been
And as I fall in the mirror on the wall
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream

I’ve been watching me go for it must be years
Watching me get slow, I watch me disappear
And one day, I know, I won't come back at all
And always over and over in his ordinary eyes
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TRUST ME/THE STREETS

Trust me
Is the skyline sliced up into pieces and broken steel and mesh
Or is the progress of process that's a natural people quest
Metal and the workings, dark and lurking in my mind
Branded neon red and blue flashes
The view from the flats is nice
I see Alice in Wonderland
I see malice in Sunderland
Mouse to house, I am this land
The were without, it's Thumberland
Smoke to a karma coma
Jamaicans do yard and roamers
Shake Bacardi's and Coke and make me laugh and
Trust me

So much stuff and many people
The future is not evil
The future is not fish and it's simple, it's efficient
Now that things are costing nothing
Is any of it good?
Come and love me, read my nothings
Blogging river floods
Dead plant planted on the window ledge
Shadows dance, glint and blend
Glance slow at the night outside
I'm god in the game
Sound rumbles in 5.1 round some corner to fight with guns
Play god in games but nothing in
Trust me

Dub step, club sweat, come get rubbed red
Play the playlist
Play the playlist
I see Alice in Wonderland
I see malice in Sunderland
House to house, I love this land
The were without, it's Thumberland
Do the wrong thing, joke it right
Span the longings and the fights
For all the oil and the toil
And the spoils of the royals
We are nothing if not nice
We are coughing if we are wise
Roll me up like a leafy spliff
Fuck that, roll me up
And trust me

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
Like a lonely lover's charm

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BE AFRAID OF YOUR PARENTS/THE INDELICATES

It’s been a marvellous party with marvellous guests
We been discussing the decline of the decadent west
Over nibbles and wine we are disarmed and impressed
By the charming men in uniform
It’s been a wonderful evening we’ve exchanged our views
How the zionists doesn’t mean the jews
At no single step did we feel confused
By the charming men in uniform

Be afraid of your parents
Be afraid of their clever friends
I’ve read this book before
And darlin I can tell you how it ends
Be afraid of the line they teach you
Be afraid of the way it goes
You be amazed at what you can raise
To something everybody knows

We’ve read our Jacques Derrida, our Michel Foucault
We’ve averted our eyes from the atrocity show
It’s better to beat up on the devil that you know
Say the charming men in uniform
Give praise to the empty heaven above
I reject the sword and embrace the dove
I see the world suffused with love
And the charming men in uniform

Be afraid of your parents
Be afraid of their clever friends
I’ve read this book before
And darlin I can tell you how it ends
Be afraid of the line they teach you
Be afraid of the way it goes
You be amazed at what you can raise
To something everybody knows

Be afraid of your parents
Be afraid of their clever friends
I’ve read this book before
And honey I can tell you how it ends
Be afraid of the line they teach you
Be afraid of the way it goes
You’d be amazed at what you can raise
To something everybody knows

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ANIMAL NITRATE/SUEDE

Like his dad you know that he's had
Animal nitrate in mind
In your council home he jumped on your bones
Now you're taking it time after time

It turns you on, on
Now he has gone
What turns you on, on
Now your animal's gone?

Well he said he'd show you his bed
And the delights of the chemical smile
So in your broken home he broke all your bones
Now you're taking it time after time

It turns you on, on
Now he has gone
What turns you on, on
Now your animal's gone?

What does it take to turn you on, on
Now he has gone?
Now you're over 21?
Now your animal's gone?
Animal, he was animal
An animal
Animal, he was animal
An animal
Animal

ALBUM: SUEDE (1993)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YOUR BODY IS A MACHINE/THE GOOD NATURED

It’s only a matter of time
Before all the springs in the mind
Will start to break like you have broken me
There's silver in your lungs now
All I care about is shapes
All I care about is colours
You said your body is a machine
It will break like you have broken me
And I can’t forget the words
Forgotten promises
Are completely worthless

I feel you beating in my chest
I feel you screaming in my lungs
You are heavy but your beats in time
I feel the crimson on my lips
Now my stomachs lined with gold
I'm broken hearted but my beats in time

We are influenced
By self love and benevolence
Narcissism is overwhelming
Vanity is quite exhausting
Self indulgent, hedonistic
Blame it all on your upbringing

I feel you beating in my chest
I feel you screaming in my lungs
You are heavy but your beats in time
I feel the crimson on my lips
Now my stomachs lined with gold
I'm broken hearted but my beats in time

I feel you beating in my chest
I feel you screaming in my lungs
You are heavy but your beats in time
I feel the crimson on my lips
Now my stomachs lined with gold
I'm broken hearted but my beats in time

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE PERFECT DRUG/NINE INCH NAILS

I've got my head, but my head is unraveling
Can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's traveling
I've got my heart but my heart is no good
And you're the only one that's understood
I come along but I don't know where you're taking me
I shouldn't go but you're wrenching, dragging, shaking me
Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky
The more I give to you, the more I die

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug

You make me hard, when I'm all soft inside
I see the truth, when I'm all stupid eyed
The arrow goes straight through my heart
Without you everything just falls apart
My blood wants to say hello to you
My fears want to get inside of you
My soul is so afraid to realize
How very little there is left of me

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug

You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug

Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SO YOUNG/SUEDE

She can start
To walk out
If she wants

Because we're young
Because we're gone
We'll take the tide's electric mind

We're so young and so gone
Let's chase the dragon

Because we're young
Bcause we're gone
We'll scare the skies with tigers eyes

We're so young and so gone
Let's chase the dragon
Let's chase the dragon
Let's chase the dragon

From our home high in the city
Where the skyline stained the snow
I fell for a servant
Who kept me on the boil

We're so young and so gone
Let's chase the dragon
From our home
From our home
From our home
From our home

ALBUM: SUEDE (1993)

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

Shoot the runner
Shoot, shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen
Shoot the runner
Shoot, shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen
Dream
Dream again in your way
Always knew that you would
Loose yourself to the scene
Am I only a dream?
Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen, bitch

Bang

Always know that I can
Get your knee's on the floor
Absinth make you may whore
Shoot the runner

By this sword you must know
That all things will come and then pass
Live your days like the last

Shoot, shoot the runner
'Cause I'm a king and she's my queen, bitch

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MÁS VALE CHOLO/MOLOTOV

Paseaba en la troca con quemacococos
Parqueamos la wawa y le tocamos al loco que
Siempre jala con sus compadres,
Se jala temprano para hechar desmadre
Salió de su casa
Saco de lana, zapato blanco y pantalón de pana
Así yo me visto si me da la gana
Mejor no te metas donde nadie te llama
Nos fuimos temprano hacia el reventón y nos encontramos a mi hermano Ramón
Que nos invitaba de su cerveza mientras me commentaba
Que buena está la fiesta
Allí conocimos a unas muchachas
Que no estaban buenas ni tampoco
Estaban gachas y las mandamos a hacer la fila para que nos sirvieran varios tequilas
The party was plenty full of narcos was plenty full of grass shit and plenty full of guarros
Todos en coches brindados
Todos tomados y todos bien armados
El loco bebió hasta perder el control
Se puso a rapear como el pendejo de
Caló y nos gritaron malditos pochos
Nos discriminaron por venir en bochos
Le dije men ya estás muy pasado
Más vale cholo que mal acompañado

No se pelien men
No se pelien
Para poder peliarse hay que saber con quien men
No se pelien men
No se pelien
Para poder peliarse hay que saber con quien men

Larrabalera estaba hasta el recubeque quería pagar a la mafia con un cheque
Nos presumían de sus ropitas
Mientras que el loco les bajaba a sus chiquitas
Rolando harinazos me dijo algún idiota que se refería a mi
Amigo el trota
El loco le dijo
Hey ten cuidado con Edmundo you better keep your mouth
Shut o mato a todo el mundo
Se armaron los plomazos y los trancazos
Pau pau
Que buenos catorrazos
Y les gritaba a todos
Pecho tierra mientras les comentaba
Que buena está la guerra
Tito me dijo ese güero mariquete
Me estaba amenazando con su 357
Un enano bigotón, hijo de la chingada
Me estaba amenazando con lanzarme su granada
Llegó el momento de hacer la retirada
Está puerta está cerrada
Tuvimos que escapar por la puerta principal
Y le dije a mi chofer que me dejara manejar
Me dijo man ya estás muy pasado
Y yo le dijo no problemo
Este bocho está tocado

No se pelien men
No se pelien
Para poder peliarse hay que saber con quien men
No se pelien men
No se pelien
Para poder peliarse hay que saber con quien men

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: VICIOUS CIRCLE/PROPAGANDA

Days become years
Years become tears
Inside this maze
I've lost your trace

A prison cell
A lonely hell
All doors are locked
The key's been dropped

I've fallen prey to a delusion
Your pretty mask has been an illusion
Stupefying ways of sinning
Makes me miss the web you're spinning

Days become years
Years become tears
Inside this maze
I've lost your trace

A prison cell
A lonely hell
No candlelight
Repels the night

I've fallen prey to a delusion
Your pretty mask has been an illusion
Stupefying ways of sinning
Makes me miss the web you're spinning

You captured me inside a vicious circle
A helpless fly
You captured me inside a vicious circle
A helpless fly tangled up
In your spider web of lies

Days become years
Years become tears
The silent wall
Embraces all

An empty heart
Ignores the pain
Of love that's lost
When love's in vain

I've fallen prey to a delusion
Your pretty mask has been an illusion
Stupefying ways of sinning
Makes me miss the web you're spinning

Aly, walk with me in the summer
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walk with me in Portland
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walks with me in my dreams
So strange and true
Can I walk with you in Portland
Walk next to you

Aly, walk with me in New York City
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walk with me in the summer
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walk right out of my dreams
Into my arms
Aly, walk with me in the city
Aly, walk with me

Aly, step right out of my head
And kiss me goodnight
Aly, walk with me in my dreams
All through the night

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE RAKE'S SONG/THE DECEMBERISTS

I had entered into a marriage
In the summer of my twenty-first year
And the bells rang for our wedding
Only now do I remember it clear
Alright, alright, alright

No more a rake and no more a bachelor
I was wedded and it whetted my thirst
Until her womb start spilling out babies
Only then did I reckon my curse
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright

First came Isaiah with his crinkled little fingers
Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn
Ugly Myfanwy died on delivery
Mercifully taking her mother along
Alright, alright, alright

What can one do when one is a widower
Shamefully saddled with three little pests
All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life
So my burden I began to divest
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright

Charlotte I buried after feeding her foxglove
Dawn was easy, she was drowned in the bath
Isaiah fought but was easily bested
Burned his body for incurring my wrath
Alright, alright, alright

And that's how I came your humble narrator
To be living so easy and free
I expect that you think that I should be haunted
But it never really bothers me
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MEDS/PLACEBO

I was alone, falling free
Trying my best not to forget
What happened to us
What happened to me
What happened as I let it slip

I was confused by the powers that be
Forgetting names and faces
Passersby were looking at me
As if they could erase it

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

I was alone, staring over the ledge
Trying my best not to forget
All manner of joy
All manner of glee
And our one heroic pledge

How it mattered to us
How it mattered to me
And the consequences
I was confused by the birds and the bees
Forgetting if I meant it

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

I was alone, falling free
Trying my best not to forget

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING IDLE/OASIS

Diretto da DAWN SHADFORTH

I sold my soul for the second time
'Cos the man, he don't pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said "Son, the bills' waiting"
My best friend called me the other night
He said "Man - are you crazy"
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said "Boy, are you lazy?"

But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

I lost my faith in the summer time
'Cos it don't stop raining
The sky all day is as black as night
But I'm not complaining
I begged my doctor for one more line
He said "Son, oh words fail me"
It ain't no place to be killing time
I guess I'm just lazy

I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine, if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: VICIOUS TRADITIONS/THE VEILS

I'd pull my weight if it made any difference
He gave his life for the nine million others
But on his graves written here lies Joseph
His countrys gun and innocent soldier

Fight your way out of this one

He grew a blood red vision for all their good intentions
He made an easy million from a foreign investment
He danced with the devils in beautiful buildings
Affirmative action for a useful reunion

Hed change his name if it made any difference
Now hes waiting in line for the lasting confession
But on his graves written here lies our son Joseph
His countrys gun and innocent soldier

Well fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
