LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE CIGARETTE DUET/PRINCESS CHELSEA





It's just a cigarette and it cannot be that bad
Honey don't you love me and you know it makes me sad
It's just a cigarette like you always use to do
I was do from then I don't need them to be cool

It's just a cigarette and it hurts your pretty lungs
Well it's only twice a week so there's not much other chance
It's just a cigarette and soon be only ten
Honey can you trust me when I want to stop I can

It's just a cigarette and it's just a Marlboro Light
Maybe but it isn't worth that we fight
It's just a cigarette that I got from Jamie Lee
She's gonna get a smack and I'm gonna give you three

It's just a cigarette and I only did it once
(It's just a cigarette and soon be only ten)
It's just a cigarette and it's only twice a week
(It will make you sick girl, there's not much other chance)
It's just a cigarette and I'm sorry that I did
(It's just a cigarette and we're sorry that we did)
Honey can you trust me when I want to stop I can

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STAIRCASE/RADIOHEAD



A Walk Down The Staircase, un pezzo acustico che Thom Yorke suonava da solista lo scorso anno, è cresciuto, ed è diventato un brano dei Radiohead, intitolato semplicemente Staircase. Si tratta di un'anticipazione dello showcase From The Basement, in rete dal 1° luglio, durante il quale la band di Oxford suonerà per intero l'ultimo album, The King Of Limbs. Per l'occasione, è stato reclutato anche un sesto elemento, il batterista Clive Deamer , che ha suonato assieme a Phil Selway.




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

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: APPLE CARTS/DAMON ALBARN



L'opera prima di Damon Albarn, ovvero la sua prima opera teatrale. Del resto, dai Blur in poi, tutto quello che tocca (dai Gorillaz a The Good, The Bad & The Queen) se proprio non diventa oro, quantomeno riluce.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SIGN 'O' THE TIMES/PRINCE





In France a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen year old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called the Disciples
High on crack, toting a machine gun
Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Is telling you somebody died
Sister killed her baby 'cause she could afford to feed it
And were sending people to the moon
In september my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's june
Times, times

Its silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh why
Time, time

Baby make a speech, star wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn
Time, times

Its silly, no?
When a rocket blows
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly
Until a man truly dies
Oh why, oh why, sign o' the times
Time, time

Sign o' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's to late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
Well call him nate, if it's a boy
Time, time
Time, time

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOLDIN ON TO BLACK METAL/MY MORNING JACKET





It's a darkness you can't deny
But it don't belong in a grown up mind
Distortion finds its place in a youngsters eyes
Coming into life you need its grind
But at a certain point you got to let it go
Or it will cross the permanent threshold
You know you gotta find it out in something else good
Oh, black metal you're so misunderstood!

Holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Black metal you've been holding on too long

Oh, black metal so misunderstood
Deep black service under Lucifer's hood
Black metal steals souls young, enough is enough
Wants refills out of Lucifer's cup
Black metal need to be and your teenage pop
Look at you starchild ur all grown up
But still holdin on to black metal
Still holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Still holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Black metal you've been holding on too long

Catching waves on Lucifer's beach
Taking shade underneath Lucifer's trees
Getting sustenance from Lucifer's peach
Oh, black metal it's a fact in all your speech

Holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Holdin on to black metal
(Black metal)
Black metal you've been holding on too long

(Black metal, black metal)
Oh, bring them to me
(Black metal)
Oh, making me think
(Black metal)
One, two, three, let's rock

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NOT MY IDEA/GARBAGE





I bit my tongue and stood in line
With not much to believe in
I bought into what I was sold
And ended up with nothing

This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea

You thought that I would never see
What was meant for you was meant for me
I was distracted at the time
Forget about yours now what about mine?

This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea

You thought I was a little girl
You thought I was a little mouse
You thought you'd take me by surprise
Now I'm here burning down your house

This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FUCK IT/THE LOVELY EGGS





Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah

What happens to you when you die?
Does it hurt when you get old?
Can I type a letter when I'm thirsty?
Does the light from the stars mean you're not born?

Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah

Sometimes you want to read a book
Sometimes you want to drink a beer
Sometimes you want to go out sideways
Sometimes you want to go home

Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah

When the clown with the balloon comes then you're ten on your birthday
I know you're not come to say no
When the man with the van brings you a bullet on your birthday
I can only pray for your soul

Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah
Fuck it, oh yeah

When the clown with the balloon comes then you're ten on your birthday
I know you're not come to say no

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE SABOTEUR/THE KOOKS





I am the saboteur and I'll let you into my world
Sometimes it's hard to live and sometimes it's hard to love you
I keep pushing you away, doing things so you won't stay with me

Wouldn't it be cool, if I could let it go
All of the things that I never seem to control

I am the saboteur and I'm fighting inside my mind
The harder I ignore is the more it crashes down
I see you by, you push me babe, see if I fade away in time

Wouldn't it be cool, if I could let it go
All of the things that I never seem to control

I am the saboteur and I'll let you into my world
I'm love in here but I'll let you know
Well I'm the big means anymore, anymore as I stand tall

Wouldn't it be cool, if I could let it go
Wouldn't it be cool, if I could let it all go
Wouldn't it be cool, if I could let it go
Wouldn't it be cool, if I just letting all go

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ROX IN THE BOX/THE DECEMBERISTS





Get the rox in the box
Get the water right down to your socks
This bulkhead's built of fallen brethren bones
We all do what we can
We endure our fellow man
And we sing our songs to the head frames creaks and moans

And it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the lee
What were you meant for?
What were you meant for?
And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in line
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

And you won't make a dime on this gray Granite Mountain mine
Of dirt you're made and to dirt you will return
So while we're living here
Let's get this little one thing clear
There's plenty of men to die
You don't jump your turn

And it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the lee
What were you meant for?
What were you meant for?
And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in line
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

And it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the lee
What were you meant for?
Whatever you're meant for
And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in line
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SPRAWL II (MOUNTAINS BEYOND MOUNTAINS)/ARCADE FIRE





They heard me singing and they told me to stop
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
These days my life I feel it has no purpose
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface
Cause on the surface the city lights shine
They're calling at me, come and find your kind

Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
That we can never get away from the sprawl
Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness someone please cut the lights

We rode our bikes to the nearest park
Sat under the swings, we kissed in the dark
We shield our eyes from the police lights
We run away but we don't know why
And like a mirror these city lights shine
They're screaming at us, we don't need your kind

Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
That we can never get away from the sprawl
Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness someone please cut the lights

They heard me singing and they told me to stop
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
Can we ever get away from the sprawl?
Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness someone please cut the lights
I need the darkness someone please cut the lights
