LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WOLF'S LAW/THE JOY FORMIDABLE





Tell me the way you've been
Tell me the way you've been (it's been so long)
I want to go along and pretend that it's dawn
It's the start not the close
I'm your friend not your post
We're under wolf's law

Another new scene that flies
Another empty picture for this collage of mine
I want to pull it back
And pretend that it's dark
That we made it here unharmed
I'm your friend not your guard
And we're under wolf's law

I'll take the gambling way
Let's send it spiraling
Just to visit that box
Don't wait, let's go, go, go

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: KROKODIL/ST. VINCENT





I need to bite
Sweet krokodil

Never had gums for much
Never had fun
Never was much for lives
But you're mine by the sharp
Of my fucking teeth

I need to bite
Sweet krokodil
I need to bite
Sweet krokodil

Shut up so I can think
Damn nerves, damn everything
Never was much for love
But you're mine by the shine
Of my bloody teeth

I need to bite
Sweet krokodil
I need to bite
Sweet krokodil

And when it starts to sting
Don't worry, gotta be clean
Never was much for sing
But you're mine by the sharp
Of my fucking teeth

I need to bite
Sweet krokodil
I need to bite
Sweet krokodil

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GATHERING STORIES/JÓNSI



Questa si che è natalizia.



Diretto da Crush Creative

And then I heard you
You made me long for
To be a part of
Something that I can’t see
I let this be
Something that I can’t fear
To be a part of
The story belongs to you

Something you said was
About a pen and a paper
You cannot always write in
Is something you have to do
Gathering stories
The story belongs to you
Say that it's gone
You know that I disappear

Then I hear you
Say that it's gone
You put me into
A radio
You are the radio
You are my
You are my favourite song

Something is growing
On little pieces
And into the moment
So keep from falling

All the stars
All the nights
All the rain
All the bones
All the days
All the sphears
All the stars
All the nights
All the tides
All the rain
All the cheers
All the nights
I keep saying
All the nights
All the stars
Of your life

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ALLIGATOR AVIATOR AUTOPILOT ANTIMATTER/R.E.M. FEAT. PEACHES




Diretto da LANCE BANGS

I feel like an alligator
Climbing up the escalator
Climbing up the escalator
I feel strong

I feel like an aviator pilot
Thinks you wouldn't buy it
I'm feeling violent
Catch your bleeding eye in
Turn off to flying
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn

I feel like an autopilot
I'm the world's strongest island
I feel like a rage coming under my hood
I feel good and calm like a robot would

I feel like an autopilot
I feel like an autopilot
I am not a hater, hater, hater, hater, hater
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn

I feel like a contradiction
I'm a walking science-fiction
I don't know which way to turn
I've got a lot to learn
I've got a lot of lot to learn

If I didn't like the way you stared at me
If I didn't like the way you stared at me
I could sideways, I could knock you blind
I could show you found to the lost and find

I am not an agitator
I feel like an agitator
Climbing up the escalator
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn

You've got so much to learn
You got a lot to learn

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE MAN WHO STOLE A LEOPARD/DURAN DURAN





Do you know where we are?
I'm longing for the dark
Of our nocturnal life
It begins and ends with you
Don't spill my secret

You were once running wild hiding in the morning mist
Game demands I make you mine
I thought that I could resist but the leopard in you
Silently preyed on me

I made my way back home
(Did you follow her?)
I handled her with care
(Were you in control?)
So elegant and sleek
(Were you not afraid?)
I need her to be near
(Does she belong to you?)
Don't spill my secret

You were once running wild hiding in the morning mist
Game demands I make you mine
I thought that I could resist but the leopard in you
Silently preyed on me

Deserted by my friends
(Don't they understand?)
She's so much more than them
(How could they compare?)
So now she's just for me
(No one else can see)
I watch her while she sleeps
(Be sure she dreams of you)
Don't spill my secret

(It's been quite a while)
Since we were last outside
(And do you miss the chase?)
Now that we've both been tamed
(Inside this gilded cage)
Prisoners of our thoughts
(You saved me from myself)
Don't spill my secret
Don't spill my secret

Today a man was taken from his apartment at the New Jersey Shore, and arrested under suspicion of entrapment of a wild animal. Police from forced entry discovered a caged leopard in the building. The fully grown feline was said to be surprisingly domesticated by zoological experts who gave her a thorough examination before preparing her for relocation. A large crowd has gathered outside to watch the beautiful creature, and the giant cage was lowered slowly onto the street by a crane. From here, the leopard was transferred into the back of a truck for it's journey ahead. A startled onlooker said, it's extraordinary to think that any human being could have lived in such close quarters with such a dangerous animal. Police are saying that the captive was simply besotted with the creature, and barely left her side. It's alleged that he hunted her in the wild and expertly forged documents to facilitate her illegal export to the United States of America. The incident has already created much controversy, and is now likely to lead to a major international investigation into the life of the man who stole a leopard.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ULTRAVIOLET (LIGHT MY WAY)/U2





Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checking out
I wanna get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love, it won't be long

Oh, sugar, don't you cry
Oh, child, wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I need you to be strong
And the day it is dark, as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen

Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Alright now, baby, baby, baby, light my way

You bury your treasure where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret that's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no-one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap

Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Baby, baby, baby, light my way

I remember when we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together in whispers and moans
When I was all messed up and I heard opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb hanging over my bed

Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, light my way

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: RABBIT WILL RUN/IRON AND WINE





Last I saw mother, she rose from a chair
When they caught me I just finished combing my hair
Because the rabbit will run, but a colt doesn't long with the mare
All that we yearned but we've carried the throne
We dove under the rivers and under our clothes
And I still have a prayer, as sure as my settling bones

Last I saw mother, she covered my ears
When they caught me I offered the captain a beer
'Cause the rabbit will run, and the lion has nothing to fear
We bricked up the garden and know what it means
And we've all kissed a virgin as if she were clean
And I still have a prayer, despite all the colors I've seen

And judgment is just like a cup that we share
I'll jump over the wall and I'll wait for you there
We'll pass the weeds in our vision of things to come
We've all heard the rooster and all been denied
And we've seen through the haze and the spit in our eyes
And I still have a prayer, a well-weathered word to the wise

Last I saw mother, she smelled like a rose
When they caught me, the captain, he opened my nose
'Cause the rabbit will run, and the wind takes a bird where it blows
We've all traded lovers and woke up alone
And we cloud for the king though our fingers were cold
And I still have a prayer, a hunger I cannot control

Last I saw mother, she acted surprised
When they caught me, the captain, he cried like a child
'Cause the rabbit will run, good dogs together go wild
All lived in grace at the end of the day
And we armed all the children we thought we betrayed
And I still have a prayer, but too few occasions to pray

Judgment is just like a cup that we share
I'll jump over the wall and I'll wait for you there
We'll pass the weeds in our vision of things to come
And we've all found a reason for hiding a gun
And we've helped out a few if we've hurt anyone
And I still have a prayer, and so be it, I've done what I've done

Last I saw mother, she blew me a kiss
When they caught me, the cuffs cut the blood from my wrist
'Cause the rabbit will run and the pig has to lay in its piss
We've all given half to the hand in our face
We've all taken a stone from the holiest place
And I still have a prayer, and I've furthered the world in my wait

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DO YOU LOVE IT?/MEW





A sleek brazilian jaguar
Does not in its arboreal gloom
Distill so rank a feline smell
Footsteps shuffled on the stairs
On sweaty faces unshaven
With a sleek brazilian jaguar
Torturing the silky sheet
In a moment that tasted sweet
Footsteps shuffled on the stairs

Do you love it? Do you love it?
Do you love it? Do you love it?
No, no rainfall
It's hard to believe
(Do you love it? Do you love it?)
We carried this alone
(Do you love it? Do you love it?)

A sleek brazilian jaguar
Does not in its arboreal gloom
Distill so rank a feline smell
Footsteps shuffled on the stairs
On sweaty faces all shaven
Sweetness run as the cat would
Dreaming until no-one hides the letters
Writes them better

No, no rainfall
It's hard to believe
(Do you love it? Do you love it?)
We carried this alone
(Do you love it? Do you love it?)
No, no rainfall
It's hard to believe
(Do you love it? Do you love it?)
We carried this alone
(Do you love it? Do you love it?)

Soon you and I can't be identified
We'll just slide by
'Cause we are cool in disguise

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

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: AT THE INDIE DISCO/THE DIVINE COMEDY





We go down to the indie disco every thursday night
Dance to our favourite indie hits until the morning light
At the indie disco
The indie disco
At the indie disco

We've got a table in the corner that is always ours
Next to the poster of Morrissey with a bunch of flowers
We drink and talk about stupid stuff
Then hit the floor for Tainted Love
You know I just can't get enough
At the indie disco
The indie disco
At the indie discor
Give us some Pixies and some roses and some valentines
Give us some Blur and some Cure and some Wannadies
And now we're moving to the beat
And staring at each others feet
I wonder if she fancies me
At the indie disco
The indie disco
At the indie disco

And when it's over and I'm freezing on the night-bus home
I think of her and I sing the words to my favourite song
She makes my heart beat the same way
As at the start of Blue Monday
Always the last song that they play
At the indie disco
The indie disco
At the indie disco

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PRIMITIVE NOTION/NEW ORDER





It doesn't take a lot to confuse me
I'm not aware of the passing of time
And I'd like to say to those who accuse me
Could you do it while you looked in my eye
If you hold on primitive notion
And if you think you'd like to try
You can drink this magic potion
And you can do it 'til the day that you
The day that you die

I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start

I'm doing my best to confound you
Your behaviour is so volatile
Not even a zoo would impound you
Don't look at me with your criticle smile
Well I've been driving in the wrong gear
It's been a long and lonely ride
It's been winter for a whole year
But you couldn't hurt me if you tried

I've done it before and I'll do it again
Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start

I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ELEFANTE/VERDENA





Blu, l’impero è blu
È questo che mi manca e mi provoca
Più, direi di più
Della tua pelle in fumo che mi soffoca
Precipita la verità
È solo un po’ più debole

Giù, mi pare giù
È come scura e gonfia la mia satira
l’impero è blu
Questa è la cura in rima
Ci soddisferà
Precipita la verità
È solo un po’ più debole

Precipita la verità
È solo un po’ più debole

Boom, mi sparo boom
Se la mia pelle è in fumo la tua soffoca
La tua soffoca
La tua soffoca
La tua soffoca
La tua soffoca
La tua soffoca

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HUNTING HIGH AND LOW/A-HA





Here I am
And within the reach of my hand
She's sound asleep
And she's sweeter now than the wildest dream
Could have seen her
And I watch her slipping away
But I know I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lenghts I'll go to
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lenghts I'll go to
Find her again
Upon this
My dreams are depending through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She's the sweetest love I could find
So I guess I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lenghts I'll go to
High and low
High
Do you know what it means to love you?

I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me
She's got to go away

I'll always be hunting high and low
Only for you
Watch me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lenghts I'll go to
For you I'll be hunting high and low

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: IT'S MY LIFE/TALK TALK





Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do

I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose

I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: INSIDE ALL THE PEOPLE/PLANET FUNK





Inside all the people
A jet-black spark
Rippling like magma
In their hearts
Under all the hot lights
And gyroscopes
Physically pulsing
As they shake their bones

Feeling kinda lonely
With the vodka and coke
Feeling kinda lonely
Underneath the strobe
I was
Feeling kinda lonely

Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor
Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor

Inside all the people
An onyx flame
Flickering and rising
Into their brains
Smothered in a blue light
Covered in a noise
Occilating girls
Occilating boys

Feeling kinda lonely
With the vodka and coke
Feeling kinda lonely
Underneath the strobe
I was
Feeling kinda lonely

Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor
Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor
Make my real life melt into the floor

Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor
Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE ZOOKEEPER'S BOY/MEW





Are you my lady, are you?

If I don't make it back from the city then
It is only because I am drawn away
For you see, evidently there's a dark storm come
And the chain on my swing is squeaking like a mouse

So are you my lady, are you?
The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down
The cars remain

You're tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there's a glitch
You're an ostrich
You've got your head in the sand

In a submersible I can hardly breathe
As it takes me inside, so the light sings
Answer me truthfully, do the clouds kiss you
With meringue-coloured hair I know they cannot

So are you my lady, are you?
The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down
The cars remain

Santa Ana winds bring seasickness
Zookeeper hear me out
How dare you go?
Cold in the rain

Tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there's a glitch
You're an ostrich
You've got your head in the sand

Are you my lady, are you?
The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down
The cars remain

I could not be seen with you
Working half the time and looking fine
In cars re-made

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ISLAND IN THE SUN/WEEZER




Diretto da SPIKE JONZE

When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

Hip hip
Hip hip

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

Hip hip
Hip hip
Hip hip

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine

We'll never feel bad anymore
