LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WATCH ME BLEED/TEARS FOR FEARS





Heaven comes to he who waits
But I know I'm getting nowhere
And all the deeds of yesterday
Have really helped to pave my way
Though there's no one near me now
How come everyone can touch me
You see the torture on my brow
Relates to neither here nor now

Watch me bleed
Bleed forever
Watch me bleed
Bleed forever
Although my face is straight it lies
My body feels the pain and cries

Here the table is not bare
I am full but feeling empty
For all the warmth it feels so cold
For one so young I feel so old

Watch me bleed
Bleed forever
Watch me bleed
Bleed forever
It's not allowed to be unkind
But still the hate lives in my mind

I'll make no noise
I'll hide my pain
I'll close my eyes
I won't complain
I'll lie right back and take the blame
And trie to tell myself I'm living
And when it's all been said or done
Where do I go?
Where do I run?
What's left of me or anyone when we've denied the hurting?

Watch me bleed
Bleed forever
Watch me bleed
Bleed forever
And all the deeds of yesterday
Have really helped to pave my way

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LITTLE FAITH/THE NATIONAL





Little faith, follow me
I set a fire in a blackberry field
Make us laugh or nothing will
I set a fire just to see what it killed
Now it's stuck in New York and the rain's coming down
I don't feel like we're going anywhere
Stuck in New York and the rain's coming down
Still lyin' for the vanity fair

Leave our insolent souls
Head for the coast
Leave our insolent souls
Everything goes

All our lonely kids are getting harder to find
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody cries
All our lonely kids they'll make the same mistakes
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody wins

Awesome prince, get your sleep
Lose your high history
Make us laugh or nothing will
I set a fire just to see what it killed

Don't be bitter and I know how you think
You're waiting for a radio city to sink
You'll find commiseration in everyone's eyes
The storm will suck the pretty girls into the skies

All our lonely kids are getting harder to find
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody cries
All our lonely kids they'll make the same mistakes
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody wins

Leave our insolent souls
Head for the coast
Leave our insolent souls
Everything goes

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PSYCHO KILLER/TALKING HEADS





I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I can’t relax
I can’t sleep, cause my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire

Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa better
Run run run run run run run away

You start a conversation you can't even finish it
You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa better
Run run run run run run run away

Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-là
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir-là
Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance vers la gloire okay
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite

Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa better
Run run run run run run run away

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FOOL'S DAY/BLUR






Wake up straight called out by the sun
On the first day of april out of bed
Lord, it was a plane crash
But I’m sure that I was dreaming TV on
Of course caffeine and signs
Of submission again another day
On this little island
Just a bell hangs on

Porridge done i take my kid to school
It was the pound shop
Woolworth’s under bridge
Where the subway sees the daytime
And the Westway flies by then on my bike
Down the Ladbroke Grove
To the forthcoming dramas
The studio and a love of all sweet music
We just can’t let go
Let go, let go, let go

So meditate on what we’ve all become
On a cold day in springtime
Civil war is what we all were born into
Raise your left hand, right, sing
Don’t capitulate to the forces of the market place
They’re long departed, consolidate
The love we’ve had together
On a cold day in springtime

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ATLANTA/STONE TEMPLE PILOTS





She lives in the bungalow
She kills me with rose garden thorns
She waits for me
My love is unusual
It's painted with roses and thorns
With her I'm complete

She lives by the wall and waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me
She lives by the wall and waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me

Visions of Mexico seduce me
It goes to my head so carefully
Memories of candles and incense
And all of these things remember these?

She lives by the wall and waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me
She lives by the wall and waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me
She comforts me when the candles burn out
The cake has grown mold but the memories are sweet
The laughter's all all gone but the memories are mine
The mexican princess is out of my life

She lives by the wall and waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me
She lives by the wall and waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me

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: A WALK DOWN THE STAIRCASE/THOM YORKE





A walk down the staircase
A magnetic pull
Back to the other place
Where I cannot go
I’m sending a chopper
To steal you away

The pot is full
Let me take control
Let me take control
The pot is full
Of secrets to be told
Of secrets to be told
I have always
And always will
The pot is full
Let me take control
Let me take control
The pot is full
Of secrets to be told
Of secrets to be told

A walk down the staircase
What can I do?

I RADIOHEAD GIÀ LO SAPEVANO...




VOLCANO (KID A BLIP)/RADIOHEAD

Sarà pretestuoso, ma le immagini dell'eruzione del vulcano sul ghiacciao Eyjafjallajökull in Islanda, che in questi giorni stanno facendo il giro del mondo, ricordano tanto quelle del progetto grafico di Kid A dei Radiohead (da molti ritenuto il miglior disco del decennio appena trascorso) ideato dall'artista inglese Stanley Donwood in collaborazione con Thom Yorke (con lo pseudonimo di Tchock).

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MR. ROBINSON'S QUANGO/BLUR





Mr. Robinson
And his quango
Dirty dealer
Expensive car
Runs the buses and the Evening Star
He got a hairpiece
He got herpes
His private life is very discreet
A nicer man, no, you're never gonna meet
He's the self-confessed saviour of the dim right wing
He got respiratory problems and a mason's ring

Mr. Robinson
And his quango
Drinks with generals and county wives
The family business is doing alright
They're doing tangos
Down in the quangos
He makes them tick
He makes them tock
And if you don't fit
He put you in the dock
He just sits in his leather chair and twiddles his thumb
Gets his secretary in and pinches her bum

He ran into the toilets in the town hall
He got his biro out and wrote on the wall
I'm wearing black French knickers under my suit
I've got stocking and suspenders on
I'm feeling rather loose
I'm a naughty boy
I'm a naughty, naughty boy

He's the self-confessed saviour of the dim right wing
He got respiratory problems and a mason's ring

I'm a naughty boy
I'm a naughty, naughty boy
I'm a naughty boy
I'm a naughty, naughty boy

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOW FIVE/SNEAKER PIMPS





It takes too much to please me
Attached but no real feeling
High fives and corporate anthems
Nothing comes to mind
Kitemarked for true low standards
Where more wants all and no less
Just change with no real progress
Nothing comes to mind
I want higher
Still nothing comes to mind

Give me a low five
'Cause I can't help myself
I'm a low five downsize no one else
Do you love yourself?

These altered states and egos
Potential less than zero
Found god in San Diego
Nothing comes to mind

Give me a low five
'Cause I can't help myself
I'm a low five downsize no one else
Do you love yourself?

I half expect to find myself
In full control of nothing else
Lost hope but learnt to hopeless
Nothing comes to mind
I want higher
Still nothing comes to mind

Give me a low five
'Cause I can't help myself
I'm a low five downsize no one else
Do you love yourself?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BULLET PROOF... I WISH I WAS/RADIOHEAD





Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me
Every day, every hour, just wish that I
Was bulletproof

Wax me, mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this, just wish that it
Was bulletproof
Was bulletproof

So pay me money and take a shot
Lead fill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles, all surrogate
And bulletproof
And bulletproof
And bulletproof
Bulletproof

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD/MANIC STREET PREACHERS





Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head, keep a falling

And I just done me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head, keep a falling

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I ain't gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's botherin' me
