LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NOW THERE'S THAT FEAR AGAIN/MÚM





Give a stale piece of my braids
Float down strangers

Flow and stay
Hang on to the skin and stay

Float with a noise without rhymes
Float down stream
Hang on to my eye
To my eye

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STEPPIN' OUT/JOE JACKSON





Now the mist across the window hides the lines
But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine
Electricity so fine
Look and dry your eyes

We, so tired of all the darkness in our lives
With no more angry words to say
Can come alive
Get into a car and drive
To the other side

Me babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light
You babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light

We are young but getting old before our time
We'll leave the TV and the radio behind
Don't you wonder what we'll find
Steppin' out tonight

You can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
We'll be there in just a while
If you follow me

Me babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light
You babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TEAR/THE SMASHING PUMPKINS





The lights came on fast
Lost in motorcrash
Gone in a flash unreal
But you knew all along
You laugh the light
I sing the songs
To watch you numb
I saw you there
You were on your way
You held the rain
And for the first time
Heaven seemed insane
'Cause heaven is to blame
For taking you away

Do you know the way that I can?
Do you know the way that I can't lose?
Do you know the things that I can?
Do you know the things that I can do?
Where is your heart?
Where is your heart gone to?
Tear me apart
Tear me apart from you
You laugh the light I cry the wound
In gray afternoons
I saw you there
You were on your way
You held the rain
And for the first time
Heaven seemed insane
'Cause heaven is to blame
For taking you away

The lights came to pass
Dead opera motorcrash
Gone in a flash unreal
In nitrous overcast
Do you know the way that I can?
Do you know the way that I can't choose?
Do you know the things that I can?
Do you know the things that I can't lose?

Tear me apart
Tear me apart from you
Where is your heart?
Where has your heart run to?

R.I.P. MARK LINKOUS





Proprio mentre la EMI stava finalmente per dare il via libera alla pubblicazione ufficiale di Dark Night Of The Soul, l'album virtuale nato dalla collaborazione tra Danger Mouse, David Lynch e gli Sparklehorse (uno dei dischi migliori del 2009), il leader della band americana, Mark Linkous, ha perso la sua battaglia contro la depressione, togliendosi la vita.



REVENGE/DANGER MOUSE AND SPARKLEHORSE FEAT. THE FLAMING LIPS

Pain
I guess it's a matter of sensation
But somehow
You have ways of avoiding it all

In my mind
I have shot you and stabbed you through your heart
I just didn't understand
The ricochet is the second part

Cause you can't hide
What you intend
It glows in the dark
Once you've sought
The path of revenge
There's no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you
The more that it hurts me

Strange
It seems like a character mutation
Though I have all the means
of bringing you fuckers down
I can't make myself
To destroy upon command
Somehow forgiveness
lets the evil make a loss

No you can't hide
What you intend
It glows in the dark
Once we become
The thing we dread
There's no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you
The more it backfires
The more it backfires
The more that it backfires

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD/JOE COCKER





Baby you understand me now
If sometimes I get a little mad
Don't you know no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things goes wrong
Your bound to see some bad

Oh but I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh lord ,please don't let me be misunderstood

You know sometimes, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes again it seems
All I have is worry
Then your bound to see the other side

Oh but I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh lord ,please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy I want you to know
I didn't mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I've got my share
But thats one thing I never ment to do
Cause I love you

Now baby I'm just human
Got my faults like anyone else
But sometimes I find myself
All alone regreting
All the foolish things that I have done

Oh but I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh lord ,please don't let me be misunderstood

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HEART-SHAPED BOX/NIRVANA




Diretto da ANTON CORBIJN

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

She has me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
Your advice

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ON MELANCHOLY HILL/GORILLAZ





Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream
Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set up and see
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

So call in the submarine
Round the world will go
Does anybody know
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream

If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me

Up on melancholy hill
A manatee?
Just looking out on the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

When you're close to me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BREAK THE NIGHT WITH COLOUR/RICHARD ASHCROFT





Fools, they think I do not know the road I'm taking
If you meet me on the way, hesitating
That is just because I know which way I will choose

The corridors of discontent that I've been travelling
On the lonely search for truth, the world's so frightening
Nothing's going right today cos nothing ever does

I don't wanna know your secrets
They lie heavy on my head
Let's break the night with colour
Time for me to move ahead

Monday morning coming down like understanding
Momma thinks you are the clown, you're lookin so frightning
Nothing's going right today cos nothing ever does

I don't wanna know your secrets
They lie heavy on my head
Time for me to break my cover
Time for me to move ahead

Give it up, here we go again
Gonna give it up, here we go again

I don't wanna know your secrets
They lie heavy on my head
Let's break the night with colour
Time for me to move ahead

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WITH THE PRIDE/SPANDAU BALLET





Build on rock or build on sand
They're never gonna lend a hand
So nothing grows or nothing stands
I can't take any more
I can't take any more
There's not a lot of space for me
But I've still got my dignity
I've got my price
Don't say I'm free
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
But I'm hungry
I could eat anything
But I'm hungry
Oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing
And all that I hear are the words that she sings
Now they've taken it all
Now they've taken it all

Just leave me with the pride
Taht I worked for
Now they've taken the reason away
Just leave me with the pride
That I worked for
Today
Just leave me with the pride
Taht I worked for
Now they've taken the reason away
Just leave me with the pride
That I worked for
Today

I'd rather take this cure for life
Than make myself a sacrifice
If living is to pay the price
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
It takes a while to understand
When your eyes are full of sand
When only time is in your hands
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
But I'm hungry
I could eat anything
But I'm hungry
Oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing
And all that I hear are the words that she sings
Now they've taken it all
Now they've taken it all

Just leave me with the pride
Taht I worked for
Now they've taken the reason away
Just leave me with the pride
That I worked for
Today
Just leave me with the pride
Taht I worked for
Now they've taken the reason away
Just leave me with the pride
That I worked for
Today

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ONLY WHEN YOU LEAVE/SPANDAU BALLET





Laying in the after glow
I only want to learn what you know
But now you're leaving
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now you're leaving
In this world all that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
It's killing me so much

Only when you leave
I'll need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave
You'll leave in danger
I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away

I only want to make this things last
So how could this have gone so fast
And now you're leaving
How many times must I learn
It' s only when you've gone that I burn
And now you're leaving
In the end, all that is left has come unbearable
It's hard to change your mind
So leave it all behind

Only when you leave
I'll need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave
You'll leave in danger
I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away

Laying in the after glow
I only want to learn what you know
But now you're leaving
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now you're leaving
In this world all that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
It's killing me so much

Only when you leave
I'll need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave
You'll leave in danger
I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: JACK-ASS/BECK





I been drifting along
In the same stale shoes
Loose ends tying a noose
In the back of my mind
If you thought that you were making your way
To where the puzzles and pagans lay
I'll put it together
It's a strange invitation

When I wake up
Someone will sweep up my lazy bones
And we will rise in the cool of the evening
I remember the way that you smiled
When the gravity shackles were wild
And something is vacant
When I think it's all beginning

I been drifting along
In the same stale shoes
Loose ends tying the noose
In the back of my mind
If you thought that you were making your way
To where the puzzles and pagans lay
I'll put it together
It's a strange invitation
