LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: REAL TALK/BLOC PARTY





Can we get real
For a moment
You're my one and only friend
Watch the sunset
From your sedan
Let your hand rest on mine

I've lived in every town
But here is where I find home
My mind is open
And my body is yours
Show me the sign

I was so sure
I was fourteen
And not able to lie
But then you crept up on me
While I was dreaming
Whispered love into my ears

I've lived in every town
But here is where I find home
My mind is open
And my body is yours
Show me the sign

If you're tired
I can drive us
We can go back
To my place

My mind is open
And my body is yours
Show me the sign
My mind is open
My mind is open
Show me the sign
Please

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: AMNESIA/DEAD CAN DANCE





Saw the demonstration
On remembrance day
Lest we forget the lesson
Enshrined in funeral clay
History is never written
By those who've lost
The defeated must bear witness
To our collective memory loss

Memories fall from the trees
Amnesia
Memories like autumn leaves

If we are subject to
Empirical minds
I wonder what lies beyond
Our memory's confines
If memory is the true sum
Of who we are
May your children know the truth
And shine like the brightest star

Memory help me see
Amnesia
Memory set me free

All my love and all my kisses
Sweet Mnemosyne
Sweet Mnemosyne
All my love and all my kisses
Sweet Mnemosyne
Sweet Mnemosyne

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MYSTERY COLORS/ASTRONAUTS, ETC.





You had me
Running from the real thing
I didn’t even know the difference
Now i’m feeling so betrayed
We’d spoken
Just the other evening
Outside of someone else’s window
Now I’m feeling so betrayed

Your history
Is coming back to educate me
To put me out of place and take me
To another time
We’re spending
Far too much attention driving
All of our attentions away
From each other

Look into the center of the spinning wheel
Tell me what you feel
Tell me what you feel
Look into the center of the spinning wheel
Tell me what you feel
Look into the center of the spinning wheel
Tell me what you feel
Tell me what you feel
Look into the center of the spinning wheel
Tell me what you feel

New flirtations
And other forms of recreation
I’m in love with foreign places
I’m in love
Mystery colors
And things we cannot tell each other
Locked inside our heaven’s cupboards
Pretend that I’m asleep

Look into the center of the spinning wheel
Tell me what you feel
Tell me what you feel
Look into the center of the spinning wheel
Tell me what you feel
Look into the center of the spinning wheel
Tell me what you feel
Tell me what you feel
Look into the center of the spinning wheel
Tell me what you feel

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CHAINED/THE XX





I watched you breathe in
And I wished you’d stop
Only for long enough
Long enough

It’s hard to say

Separate or combine
I ask you
One last time
Did I hold you too tight
Did I not let enough light in

If a feeling appears
If your mind should sway
It’s not a secret you should keep
I won’t let you slip away

We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss

Winged or chained
I ask you
Would you have stayed
Did I hold you too tight
Did I not let enough light in

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE BASE/PAUL BANKS



Julian Plenti è morto? Lunga vita a Paul Banks.




What I drop today
Could we recognize the shape
I spoke to the base
And the base says we wait
So I smoke an old cigar
While they're trying some things
See I spoke to the base
And the base says we wait
The base says we're safe

Now and then can I see the truth above the lies
Now and then oh I feel you're truly amidst the tides
That's why

When I walk today
It's in silence and in rage
Can a man turn the page
While he's trying to amaze (any other)
So I hold my arms apart
And hope to buy you anything (any other)
See I spoke to the base
And the base says we're there
The base says we care

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then oh I feel those beauties it's like they're lights
They're like street lights
They tunnel on and on
Into these deep nights
Where the lights circle on
So steep, so steep, so steep, so steep, so steep
(I count the falling stars)
So steep, so steep, so steep, so steep, so steep
(I count the falling stars)
I will not be staying long

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then can see those beauties that shine my eyes
That's right

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PLAGUE/CRYSTAL CASTLES





I need you pure
I need you clean
Don't try to enlighten me
Power to misconstrue
What have they done to you

Infants in infantry
Rewrite their history
Uproot their colony
You're ripe for harvesting
Virgin cells to penetrate
Too premature to permeate
They can't elucidate
Never thought I was the enemy

I am the plague
I am the plague

They fake sincerity
Thy gifts don't give to me
Now you've been annointed
They've been asking for it

Infants in infantry
Rewrite their history
Uproot their colony
You're ripe for harvesting
Virgin cells to penetrate
Too premature to permeate
They can't elucidate
Never thought i was the enemy

I am the plague
I am the plague

I need you pure
I need you clean
I need you pure
I need you clean
I am the plague
I am the plague
