LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STREET SPIRIT (FADE OUT)/RADIOHEAD




Diretto da JONATHAN GLAZER

Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole

And fade out again
And fade out

This machine will
Will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under

And fade out again
And fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole

And fade out again
And fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SPLITTING THE ATOM/MASSIVE ATTACK




Diretto da EDOUARD SALIER

The baby was born
Nettles and ferns
The evening it chokes
The candle it burns
This disguise covers
Bitter lies
Repeating the joke
The meaning it dies
Pass me a coat I'm not afraid to leave
I'm letting you know
I know what you need
I'll turn you around
This beautiful town
And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you

It's easy, don't let it go
It's easy, don't let it go
It's easy, don't let it go
Don't lose it

Its getting colder outside
Your rented space
They shadow box and they
Paper chase
It never stops
And we'll never learn
No hope without dope
The jobless return
The bankers have bailed
The mighty retreat
The pleasure it fails
At the end of the week
You take it or leave
Or what you receive
To what you receive
Is eternited leave

It's easy, don't let it go
It's easy, don't let it go
It's easy, don't let it go
Don't lose it

Incandescent light at doors
In adolescent menopause
In little clicks you got the music stops
The needle sticks and the penny drops
The summer's gone before you know
The muffled drums of relentless flow
You're looking at stars that give you Vertigo
The sun's still burning and dust will blow
Honey scars I'll keep you near
Our blood is gold nothing to fear
We killed the time and I love you dear
A kiss of wine we'll disappear
The last of the last particles
Divisible invisible
The last of the last particles
Divisible invisible

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SUBMISSION/DELPHIC





Always a new temptation
I am desire
Always in moderation
If it's a hunger from the heart
Trying to keep it all out of sight and mind
Out of sight and mind
Trying to work a reason why
I don't recognize myself

The less you expect from me
The less you get
Every test you give me
The more I can remedy myself
I can't keep giving into mistakes I've made
The mistakes I've made
I can't keep living life left behind
I don't recognize myself

Why?
I don't know

Always a new temptation
And no one hears me now
Always in moderation
If it's a hunger from the heart
Trying to keep it all out of sight and mind
Out of sight and mind
Trying to work a reason why
I don't recognize myself

Why?
I don't know

I don't recognize myself
Are you now are you now are you now?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE MOUSE AND THE MODEL/THE DRESDEN DOLLS





Nothing is certain at this time of day
You could reverberate you could decay
The mouse and the model are laughing at us
We'll risk it we're desperate for someone to trust

Let's start a new heart the new charts are in
We'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in

By counting your blessings you wind up in debt
It starts with your family and ends in your bed
You Jekyll and Hide it when you could have left
Your guard down your dress up you must be upset

Let's start a new heart the new charts are in
We'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in

It's dark over here on the flipside of reason
The teaser could be something easy like they did it in a book
You're a crook you're a fake you committed
If you did it say you did it if you didn't suck it up and say you did

Let's start a new heart the new charts are in
We'll tax them relax them and make them forfeit
The vote by a landslide the Jekyll and Hide
Mackenzie macabre she's Bonnie and Clyde

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SNOW/JJ72





People go dancing
In crowded rooms
My head is getting tired
Darkness looms
Children going cursing
At their only cause

Why won't it snow
Like they said it would
What is it that they know
That i really should

I check my look in the mirror
It don't glow
My face is getting thinner
Darkness shows
Children going cursing
At their only cause

Why won't it snow
Like they said it would
What is it that they know
That i really should

Why won't it snow
Like they said it would
What is it that they know
That i really should

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SOME LIKE IT HOT/THE POWER STATION





We want to multiply, are you gonna do it?
I know you qualify, are you gonna do it?
Don't be so circumscribe, are you gonna do it?
Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it?

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide
Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so lets turn up the heat 'til we fry

The girl is at your side, are you gonna do?
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it?
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it?
I know you won't be satisfied, until you do it

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide
Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so lets turn up the heat 'til we fry

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide
Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so lets turn up the heat 'til we fry

Some like it hot, some like it hot
Some like it hot, some like it hot
Some like it hot, some like it hot
Some like it hot, some like it hot

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ISOLATION/JOY DIVISION





In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love
Surrendered to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else

Isolation, Isolation, Isolation

Mother, I tried, please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am

Isolation, Isolation, Isolation

But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
These pleasures a wayward distraction
This is my one broken prize

Isolation, Isolation, Isolation

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SAVE IT FOR SOMEONE WHO CARES/THE LEISURE SOCIETY





Hunting spires
And an audience in the house of god
Such strange times
Pull me from my knees, genuflect and leave
Braving the weather, evading the stares
Save it for someone who cares

City life
In the glory of pink communal skies
Jostled bones
Hang in dying air breathed a million times
Down through the marching of beggars and heirs
Save it for someone who cares

We are the cats in the flea bitten folds
We will collapse with the weight of it all
Should we attack
Or be caught unawares
Save it for someone who cares

We get by
Swilling with the taste of the now and then
As we type
All our problems we will relive again
Echoes of violence, and office affairs
Save it for someone who cares

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STRIPSEARCH/FAITH NO MORE





It's over today
The heat is gone
Time is gone
F for fake
I feel no wrong
Hide no wrong
I love this place, the lights
Under this face
So dry

Only way to change
Give yourself away
Don't be ashamed
Next in line
Close one eye
Just walk by

In these days
I'm breathing stone, crying stone
I'll win this race
I'll leave alone, arrive alone
Love this place, the lights
Under this face, so dry

Stripped to the bone
I did no wrong
Truth is my name
Give yourself away

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BY MY SIDE/INXS





In the dark of night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you
Rooms full of strangers
Some call me friend
But I wish you were so close to me
In the dark of night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm with you
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were

Here comes the clown
His face is a wall
No window
No air at all
In the dark of night
These faces they haunt me
But I wish you were
So close to me
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were

In the dark of night
These faces they haunt me
Well I wish you were so close to me
Yes I wish you were
By my side

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SOMEDAY WE'LL KNOW/NEW RADICALS





90 miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving
I don't know why
So many questions
I need an answer
Two years later
You're still on my mind

Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?

Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you

Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries?
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the 97th time tonight

Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you

I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask god just one question
Why aren't you here with me tonight?

Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you
