LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WEIRD FISHES/ARPEGGI/RADIOHEAD

In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?

I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me

Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance

I get eaten by the worms
Weird fishes
Get picked over by the worms
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PARAFFIN/PLANET FUNK

You were vanishing like paraffin
So you had to go back under
Flight B208 had been delayed
So you had to go back under

Our plane took off in pounding rain
I looked at you and we exchanged

I love my sister's touch
A loudspeaker's up above
Oh lady suck in deep from our paper
Come somehow
Oh, no

You were vanishing like paraffin
So you had to go back under
Flight B2O8 had been delayed
So you had to go back under

Our plane took off in pounding rain
I looked at you and we exchanged
We exchanged

I love my sister's touch
A loudspeaker's up above
Oh lady suck in deep from our paper
Come somehow
Oh, no

Look how far is there our plane
It's still through rain and window panes
And you

Our plane took off in pounding rain
I looked at you and we exchanged
we exchanged

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MERCURY/BLOC PARTY

My Mercury is in retrograde
My Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in retrograde
My Mercury is in retrograde

My Mercury is in retrograde
My Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in retrograde

This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what`s forgotten
Try not to worry about what`s being missed

Scars on my shins, scars on my knuckles
Today I woke up in the basketball court
John Joe`s in Sydney and he ain`t returning
I`m sitting in Soho trying to stay drunk

In any part of the world
From Silver Lake to Williamsburg
You can pick another stranger
And fall in love

My Mercury is in retrograde
My Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in retrograde

This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what`s forgotten
Try not to worry about what`s being missed

Bleeding gums and v-veins protruding
You try to hate all of your clothes
The Mayor`s in L.A. and she ain`t returning
I`m sleeping with people I don`t even like

In any part of the world
From Silver Lake to Williamsburg
You can pick another stranger
And fall in love

Mercury is in
Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in
Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in
Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in
Mercury is in retrograde

When I saw you last night, I wanted to say,
Run away with me, away from the cynics
That this could be the start of something truly real
But all that I could say was hey
Was hey

Mercury is in
Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in
Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in
Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in
Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury`s in retrograde
Mercury`s in retrograde

ALBUM: INTIMACY (2008)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MONO/COURTNEY LOVE

Hey, yeah we had everything
Vinyl and mono
And we looked the other way
Man, we were so dumb
Is this the part in the book that you wrote
Where I've gotta come and save the day?
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well they say that rock is dead
And they're probably right
99 girls in the pit
Did it have to come to this?

Oh God, you owe me one more song
So I can prove to you that I'm so much better than him
Oh God, please listen fast
Here comes the crash
We're gonna rise above
We've gotta smash it up
You won't abandon us again

Give us brilliant boys that we wanna fuck, woman
Full of ecstasy, hard drugs and bad luck
Yeah, yeah ,yeah
Turn the lights back on
You burn so hard but you won't burn long

Three chords in your pocket tonight
Are you, you the one
With the spark to bring my punk rock back?
I don’t think so

Oh God, I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that you're sorry again
Oh God, you owe me one more song
So I could prove to you that I'm so much better than him
Oh God, I'd give you anything
To hear you say that I was right and you were wrong
Oh God, before I leave this life
Now an eightball isn’t love
A hooker’s never gonna come
Just give it back to me
Blow out all of the lights tonight

Two million miles down the PCH
And now he's gone
I slashed his tires, I bled his brakes
It had to be done
Their hand-job lies were just too cruel
Yeah mercy was done
We drowned them all in their swimming pools
Run away, run away, run away, yeah

Now God, I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that you were wrong again
Now God, I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that I am so much better than him
Now God, you owe us one more song
Get out of my life, see this world as it really is
Is it just a sad slide show
Can't make a hooker come
And an eightball isn’t love
I need one thing that’s divine
Let me hear it tonight
Let me hear it tonight
I've gotta hear it tonight
You're gonna let me hear the last chords tonight, yeah

ALBUM: AMERICA'S SWEETHEART (2004)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THIS IS LOVE/PJ HARVEY

I can't believe that life's so complex
When I just want to sit here and watch you undress
I can't believe that life's so complex
When I just want to sit here and watch you undress

This is love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is love
That I'm feeling

Does it have to be a life full of dread
I wanna chase you round the table, I wanna touch your head
Does it have to be a life full of dread
I wanna chase you round the table, I wanna touch your head

This is love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is love
That I'm feeling

I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
When you taste so good
I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
When my head burns

Love, love, love
That I'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is love, love, love
That I'm feeling

Even in the summer
Even in the spring
You can never get too much of
A wonderful thing

You're the only story that I never told
You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so
You're the only story that never been told
You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so

Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling as they're tumbling in
Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling on me, tumbling in
Keep the walls from falling as they're tumbling in

This is love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is love, love, love
That I'm feeling

ALBUM: STORIES FROM THE CITY, STORIES FROM THE SEA (2000)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GOOD DAYS BAD DAYS/KAISER CHIEFS

Follow the underdog
Hold on his collar tight
This city loves a scrap
One day it's gonna bite
Sticks and stones and animal bones
Can't stop me from having a good day
On a bad day
There's good days and bad days

Making a night of it
Breaking down barriers
Drowning your sorrows
Upset the regulars
Sticks and stones and animal bones
Can't stop me from getting away with
Good days on bad days
There's good days and bad days

Sticks and stones and animal bones
Sticks and stones and animal bones
There's good days and bad days
There's good days and bad days

If you had a different attitude
Instead of take and take and take
You have missed an opportunity
And that's a really big mistake
If you had a different attitude
You'd still have good days and bad days

ALBUM: OFF WITH THIER HEADS (2008)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FAKE/THE CURE

I can't fly I never really could
I don't feel you ever really understood at all
I can't fly I never really could
I just throw my arms out as I fall
Always say you know me, you don't know me at all
Only want to hold me, but I'm not here to hold
Always say you know me, but you don't know me at all
Only want to show me, but I'm not yours to show, no no no

I don't dream I never really did
Don't believe you ever really took this into good
No I don't dream I never really did
I just wake up, make up as I should

No I don't dream
No I don't dream
No I don't dream

I wont see I never really would
I don't sense you ever realised it right
No I wont see I never really would
I just roll my eyes up out of sight

Always say you know me, you don't know me at all
Only want to hold me, but I'm not here to hold
Always say you know me, but you don't know me at all
Only want to show me, but I'm not yours to show

I can't ever come back, If I never go
I don't ever explain, if I never know
I won't ever take it, if I never give
And if I never live, if I never live, if I never live

ALBUM: THE HAWK IS HOWLING (2008)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HAROLD AND JOE/THE CURE

Nothing ever gets in my way
Nothing ever gets on my mind
Nothing ever makes me stop to think about
Nothing of the kind
Nothing ever loses me sleep
Nothing ever wins my heart
Nothing ever makes me want to sing along
And nothing makes me want to start

If I'm falling down a mountain
Then I pick myself up
If I crash into an iceberg
I don't give a frightful look around
If I am burning then I put myself out
I'm so completely full
I scare the world
Oh all the world
All inside out
Just look around

Nothing ever puts me out
Nothing ever pulls me in
Nothing ever makes me want to jump
And nothing makes me want to begin
Nothing ever gets me down
Nothing ever gets me uptight
And nothing ever makes me run around
And nothing makes me feel I might

If I'm hanging from a peach tree
Then I cut myself down
And if I look into the sun
I just turn up the sound
And if I swallow deathcap loverooms
Then I spit them right out
I'm so completely full
I scare the world
Yeah all the world
Inside out

Nothing ever gets in my way
Nothing ever gets on my mind
Nothing ever makes me stop to think about
Nothing of the kind

Harold and Joe
Go, go, go
Sing birds sing

ALBUM: NEVER ENOUGH (SINGLE) (1990)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TRANSMISSION/JOY DIVISION

Radio, live transmission
Radio, live transmission

Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction
Waiting for our sight

And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
Touching from a distance
Further all the time

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio

Well I could call out when the going gets tough
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough
No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to synchronise
Love to the beat of the show

And we could dance

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio

ALBUM: ATMOSPHERE (1980)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE SEVENTH STRANGER/DURAN DURAN

Those words are all remainders
Echos growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety's star
Awaken all those whispers
The dusty shadow of a passing favour
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
I couldn't see from so far
Was I chasing after rainbows?
One thing for sure you never answered when I called
And I wiped away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of the stranger

Can't tell the real from reflections
When all these faces look the same to me
In every city such a desolate dream
Some days are strange to number
Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by
I could have sworn in one evening
And I'm not seized in desperation
No steel reproaches on the table from before
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of the stranger

I must be chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answer when I call
And I wipe away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of the stranger

In the eyes of the stranger

ALBUM: SEVEN AND THE RAGGED TIGER (1983)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HELP I'M ALIVE/METRIC

I tremble
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me alive

Can you hear my heart
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help, I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be solved
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse
The pace is on runaway train
Help I'm alive, my heart keeps
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help, I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be solved
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse
The pace is on runaway train
Help I'm alive, my heart keeps
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
