LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DESIRE/TALK TALK





Desire, whispered, spoken
In time
Rivers, oceans

That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
I'm just content to relax
Than drown within myself

Of mind
Sheltered, broken
Denied, gifted, stolen

That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself

That ain't me babe

That ain't me babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself

That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
I'm just content to relax
Than drown within myself

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BODYSNATCHERS/RADIOHEAD





I do not
Understand
What it is
I've done wrong
Full of holes
Check for pulse
Blink your eyes
One for yes
Two for no


I have no idea what I am talking about
I am trapped in this body and can't get out

You killed the sound
removed backbone
A pale imitation
With the edges
Sawn off

I have no idea what you are talking about
Your mouth moves only with someone's hand up your ass

Has the light gone out for you?
Because the light's gone for me
It is the 21st century
It is the 21st century
It can follow you like a dog
It brought me to my knees
They got a skin and they put me in
They got a skin and they put me in
All the lines wrapped around my face
All the lines wrapped around my face
And for anyone else to see
And for anyone else to see
I'm a lie

I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MY OWN WAY (NIGHT VERSION)/DURAN DURAN





I saw you at the airace yesterday
April showers get out of my way
Fear of flying no not me
I'm never bothered what you say
Someone's kid just lives for today
It ain't your problem anyway

'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way

Some kind of public figure what a pain
Just puts another rattle in your brain
Take another green but it's not the same
So now you're on the sandlane everyday
Dancing with the bulls in any old way
Running like a fox to keep up with me

'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THIRSTY DOG/NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS





I know you've heard it all before
But I'm sorry for this three year war
For the setting up of camps
And wire and trenches
I'm sorry for the other night
I know sorry it don't make it right
I'm sorry for things I can't even mention

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

You keep nailing me back into my box
I'm sorry I keep popping back up
With my crazy mouth
And jangling jester's cap
I'm sorry I ever wrote that book
I'm sorry for the way I look
But there ain't a lot that
I can do about that

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

Forgive me, baby but don't worry
Love is always having to
Say you're sorry
And I am, from my head
Down to my shoes
I'm sorry that I'm always pissed
I'm sorry that I exist
And when I look into your eyes
I can see you're sorry too

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DRIVE/R.E.M.





Smack, crack, bushwhacked
Tie another one to the racks, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
What if I ride? What if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock, tick-tock
What if you did? What if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?

Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby
Maybe you did, maybe you walked
Maybe you rocked around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I drive to get off, baby

Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby
Ollie, ollie in come free, baby
Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby

Smack, crack, shack-a-lack
Tie another one to your back, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
Maybe you did, maybe you walked
Maybe you rocked around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I drive to get off, baby

Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby, baby, baby

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: 19/PAUL HARDCASTLE





In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war
But it wasn't
It was different in many ways, as so were tose that did the fighting
In world war II the average age of the combat soldier was 26
In Vietnam he was 19
Nineteen

The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today
25 miles west of Saigon
I really wasn't sure what was going on
19

In Vietnam the combat soldier typicaly served a twelve month tour of duty
But was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday
19

In Saigon a US military spokesman said today more than 700 enemy troops
Were killed last week in that sensitive border area
Throughout all of South Vietnam the enemy lost a total 2689 soldiers

All those who remember the war
They won't forget what they've seen
Destruction of men in their prime
Whose average was 19
Destruction
Destruction

According to a Veteran's Administration study
Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from what psychiatrists call
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Many vets complain of alienation, rage, or guilt
Some succumb to suicidal thoughts
Eight to ten years after coming home almost eight hundred thousand men
Are still fighting the Vietnam war

None of them received a heroes welcome
19
Saigon
19

Vietnam
Saigon

I wasn't really sure what was going on
I wasn't really sure what was going on

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DIRTY STICKY FLOOR/DAVE GAHAN





Waiting for the last time
For my friend to change my mind
Waiting for the last drop
Seems like a long long time
Maybe I should go back home
I'll sit and wait right by the phone
Praying over the porcelain throne
On my dirty sticky floor

Ask me what I want
Easy that's just more
How long will I wait for you
Twice as long as I did before
Standing in the freezing snow
Maybe you left I just don't know
I'll soon be lying on my own
On some dirty sticky floor

I hope no one can see me
The tin man says I'm doing fine
That lion ain't gonna get me
See that gun right there it's mine
I've painted a face where I burnt the floor
Now the face has become my devil's door
Laying in the back room
On my dirty sticky floor

On my dirty sticky

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DO THE EVOLUTION/PEARL JAM





I'm ahead, I'm a man
I'm the first mammal to have hands
I'm at peace with my lust
I can kill 'cause in god I trust
It's evolution, baby

I'm a beast, I'm the man
I'm the stocks on the day of the crash
On the loose, I'm a truck
All the rolling hills, I'll flatten 'em out
It's herd behavior
It's evolution, baby

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my son, he's my clone

This land is mine, this land is free
I'll do what I want irresponsibly
It's evolution, baby

I'm a thief, I'm a liar
There's my church, I sing in the choir

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my son, admire my clones
'Cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast
Those ignorant Indians got nothin' on me
Nothin', why?
Because
It's evolution, baby

I am ahead, I am advanced
I am the first mammal to make plans
I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher
2010, watch it go to fire
It's evolution, baby
It's evolution, baby
Let's do the evolution
Come on

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SING/BLUR





I can't feel
'Cause I'm numb
I can't feel
'Cause I'm numb
So what's the worth?
In all of this?
What's the worth?
In all of this?
Sing to me
Sing to me
So what's the worth in all of this
If the child in your head
If the child is dead
Sing to me
Sing to me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: #1 CRUSH/GARBAGE





I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine
I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear

I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm talking
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
And tear it apart
I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see
You're just like me

Violate all the love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
You will believe in me
And I can never be ignored

I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I will await for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sail ships for you
To be close to you
To be a part of you
'cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DANGERVISIT/ARCHIVE





So much writing on the walls, can you read it all
Can you see through the haze when the writing's small?
Can you read what it means does it make any sense?
'Cause it's all dollar bills and pounds and pence
Telling you what to do and what pills to take
When your head's in your hands and your belly aches
Where to go in the world when you need a change
Don't you worry about the bill, that can be arranged

Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question
Give me things that can calm this depression
Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question
Give me things that can calm this depression

Let me know what to do when my money's spent
Let me know how to smell and to pay the rent
Let me know what to do when my hair is gone
Let me know who to kill when the war is on
There's a woman of your dreams and she's all on the phone
Better send her a text when you're on your own

Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question
Give me things that can calm this depression
Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question
Give me things that can calm this depression
Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question
Give me things that can calm this depression

So much writing on the walls

Obey
Feel, just obey

Sing along, sing along, sing along, sing it
Sing along
