LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: A CHORE/TOM VECK
In a flick of the wrist you will not find
The sharp blade that is your mind
And you're the one who's wearing, the end is nigh
Your heart it speeds through the best of times
And we're breaking it now
And you don't really wanna know
You have believed one time
And now you want more
Of what you perceive as life
Is no more than a chore
Never a safe for a right place for ever getting old
We need some room for the wings that we have grown
You're not really listening to me
You're not really listening to me
You're not really listening to me
You're not really listening
You have believed one time
And now you want more
Of what you perceive as life
Is no more than a chore
You don't have what you won't have
You don't have what you don't need
You don't have what you won't have
You don't need
You don't need
Need
You have believed one time
And now you want more
Of what you perceive as life
Is no more than a chore
A chore
A chore

MESSAGGIO DI SERVIZIO
Ci scusiamo per la momentanea interruzione, le selezioni riprenderanno il più presto possibile.
LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PRENZLAUERBERG/BEIRUT
So alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something
I came through tonight
Just like you
And all this advice has fallen through
I watch and wait as something
I watch and wait as i let more time to decide
And so alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HANGING FROM A HIT/OKKERVIL RIVER
What this night wants is what it gets
Strung in silken knots
Lit by cigarettes
Flaring side by side with the streets all wet
As the only thing that's bright
And I don't need to cross that bridge
I find I'm swinging or sailing
Over the pit tonight
I'm hanging from a hit tonight
Was wild enough to order up
And toss across my lips
What's making all my tears
Is taking all my fears away
But I don't need to cry
'Cause now I'm clear
A moth that's swerving through the sage
A creature crashing from a cage
A shadow vaporized by a new sun ray
A day she spends the night
And I can hear her sighing
As she's almost asleep on one side
I lie back on my pillow and ask what her husband is like
And she says
I smile polite
And I tip and tithe
And I see the sights
With a well-trained eye
But I come and cry
'Cause I'm too much mine without him
And I lie, reclined
Where the room is quiet
And it's quiet at night
The soft silk is fine
And the waves are white
But the wind has died without him
And I scream my smiles
And I want my wires
And I need my stripes
And I read the lines
Until I lid my eyes,
And I'm losing time without him.
And I ignite inside
And I flash with fire
And I limp from life
And I'm blazing blind
And I'm surging live
And give up my mind
When with him
And then every dream inside turns to flames
Fades to grey and is dying
And the smoke rises into a white, blank, bare, broke-open sky

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DON'T GIVE UP ON ME NOW/BEN HARPER
Time, it opens all wounds
And trust, gonna put me in the tomb
The world isn't mine
The world isn't mine to save
I can't afford to lose
What you resell and throw away
And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change I don't know how
Don't give up on me now
It's not what we do
It's what we do, it's what we feel
Takes all you have to stare it down
And whisper devil no deal
And I don't wanna fight
Don't wanna fight my father's war
You can wait your whole life
Not knowin what you're waiting for
And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change I don't know how
Don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now
And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change I don't know how
And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change I don't know how
Don't give up on me now

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PLAYTHING/WILD BEASTS
New squeeze, take off your chemise
And I'll do as I please
I know I'm not any kind of heart-throb
But at the same time I'm not any sort of sloth
You're my plaything, you're my plaything, you're my plaything
I'm wondering, I'm wondering, what you're thinking
You're my plaything, you're my plaything, you're my plaything
I'm wondering, I'm wondering how cruel I've been
New squeeze, unfold my body
I've ramsacked myself
I've flatpacked myself for your ease
You know that the second I saw you
I was rendered the very voyeur
You're my plaything, you're my plaything, you're my plaything
I'm wondering, I'm wondering, what you're thinking
You're my plaything, you're my plaything, you're my plaything
I'm wondering, I'm wondering how cruel I've been

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: VIRGIN/MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA
We built this house with our hands and our time and our blood
You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust
Heard don't move unless you know someone you can move
And I bruise just like anyone would bruise
And I know we've got a long way to go
I know I've got so far
We built this house with our hands and our time and our blood
You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust
You built this house with your hands and your time and your blood
We built this up in one day to fall downward and rust
I'm gone
You tried to emphasize and side with both your ghosts
In time I swore I'd take the straight and narrow path but still won't
I hold his ear I'm only trying to do my job tonight
Kiss him on top his lips and crucify the fire
We built this house with our hands and our time and our blood
You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust
You built this house with your hands and your time and your blood
We built this up in one day to fall downward and
Never really feel the same
Never gonna be the same
No, it's never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same
We built this house with our hands and our time and our blood
You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust
You built this house with your hands and your time and your blood
We built this up in one day to fall downward and rust
Trust in me the same way
(With your time, your blood)
Holy or inane
(To fall downward and)
Never really feel the same
Never gonna be the same
No, it's never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PIRATESS/OKKERVIL RIVER
Who wrote those lines on the wall?
Let's retrace where they scrawled ancient characters
It's 2:00 and your sister's slip falls
And the afternoon crawls across the room and tackles her
I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through
'Cause I don't believe that you might be a murderess
But I saw inside each small dark eye as it was turning blue
All the strength inside to do just what the captain says and hang the rest
Moved by the rhyme in the psalm
We agreed that it was wrong and to believe in it
Swooned the wall all night long
But a lie is a lie, no matter what guy's breath's in it
I don't know that I would go that far down some dark avenue
With a whispering crew of shadows all protecting it
But I saw inside each small white lie as it was turning true
The ability to do all things expected of it
I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through
'Cause I don't believe that you might be a murderess
Did you hide inside each small white lie before it turning true
The ability to see and to do all the things the captain says
Murderess, in the wilderness
With your victims all around you
Their combined love forms a pool your knife's reflected in
And now I'm read to, with my throat to you
On this mountain, by this moon
What I want the most to do is prove that I'm not like them

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NIKOLA TESLA/8IN8
8in8 è un supergruppo composto da Amanda Palmer, dal suo compagno, lo scrittore Neil Gaiman, da Ben Folds e da Damian Kulash degli Ok Go. Nighty Night è il loro progetto: un'album scritto e registrato in una sola notte.
I met Nikola Tesla in a diner in New York
He was eating cotton candy in the dark
I sat down at his table and I asked him for a light
When his eyes met mine I thought I felt a spark
His glance was like and x-ray and he looked me to the bone
A touch from him my blood began to boil
It was the 24th of March he had a really cute moustache
And then he kissed me in an alley and I felt my insides coil
Nikola Tesla
I wish you’d invent a
Current that could activate my heart
Mysterious gesture
I do not expect you
Come back from 1932
I’ll always burn a light for you
Sweetheart
I’d dreamed of someone like you ever since I was a girl
A mystery man inventing something new
Just a guy with a transformer who could make me something warmer
Who could open up my circuitry and make me someone new
When Edison got angry my Nikola only grinned
And explained that wireless power was the way
He’d overturn thesystem there was no way to resist him
And he kissed me one more time and told me he’d come back one day
Nikola Tesla
I wish you’d invent a
Current that could activate my heart
Mysterious jester
I do not expect you
Come back from 1932
I’ll always burn a light for you
Sweetheart
Edison’s enemy
Man who gave us AC
He’ll always be to me
My little serb
Voice on the radio
I’m looking high and low
Here in the afterglow
Send me a word
So I waited while the valves inside my heart all dimmed and chilled
He had secrets that he stored inside eight chests
And he took his many mysteries and walked off into history
And he left me with a fading sort of feeling in my breast
I’ve been waiting here for decades, just a dusty afterthought
I’ve been waiting for Nikola to come back
It is painful and ironic not to mention electronic
That he’d vanish in a crackle, into air and fade to black
Nikola Tesla
I wish you’d invent a
Current that could activate my heart
Mysterious jester
I do not expect you
Come back from 1932
I’ll always burn a light for you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE BUTCHER/RADIOHEAD
Beauty will destroy your mind
Spare the gory details
Give them gift wrapped for the man with everything
Though I lived a lonely life
I was confused
A butcher
I feel nothing
As it courses up my arms
In position of the worms
Up, up through my heart
Into my brain
I'm a big slab a basic combination
Cut out of chopped liver on the block
My hearts still pumping
My hearts still pumping
He's a warrior
A warrior
He's a little bitch coming at him
He's a warrior
A warrior
He's a little bitch coming at him
Coming at him
