LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE VIEW FROM THE AFTERNOON/ARCTIC MONKEYS

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus
Regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
And of course its fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on
In bunny ears and devil horns in hell

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus
Regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand it you can never beat the bandit, no

And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You sholud bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You can pour your heart out but her reasoning will block
Ought you send her after nine o'clock

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus
Regardless of what's gone before

And she won’t be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she’s pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there’s verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You sholud bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You can pour your heart out around 3 o' clock
When the 2 for 1's undone the writer's block

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MONTH OF MAY/ARCADE FIRE

One, two, three, four

Gonna make a record in the month of may
In the month of may, in the month of may
Gonna make a record in the month of may
When the violent wind blows the wires away

Month of May it's a violent thing
In the city their hearts start to sing
Well some people singing sounds like screaming
Used to doubt it but now I believe it

Month of may everybody sing love
In the city watch it from above
And just when I knew what I wanted to say
The violent wind blew the wires away

We were shocked in the suburbs

Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
The kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
Now some things are pure and some things are right
But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight
I said some things are pure and some things are right
But the kids kids are still with their arms folded tight

So young, so young
So much pain for someone so young well
I know it's heavy, I know it ain't light
But how you gonna lift it with your arms folded tight?

Go wasted, go wasted in the belly of the town
That's why I'm still driving around
And around and around and around and around...

2009, 2010
Wanna make a record how I felt then
When I stood outside in the month of may
And watched the violent wind blow the wires away

If I died in the month of may
Let the wind take my body away then
Wish I may
I wish I might
Make me down there with my arms folded tight

Start again in the month of may
Start again in the month of may
Come on and blow the wires away
Come on and blow the wires away

ALBUM: THE SUBURBS/MONTH OF MAY (12 Single) (2010)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STELLA WAS A DIVER AND SHE WAS ALWAYS DOWN/INTERPOL

When she walks down the street
She knows there’s people watching
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her
She once fell through the street
Down the manhole in a that bad way
The underground drip
It's just like her scuba days

Days
Daze
Days
Daze

She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight
She broke away
She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, airtight
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away


Bottom of the ocean she dwells
Bottom of the ocean she dwells
From crevices caressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells

Stella
Stella
Stella
Stella I love you
Stella I love you
Stella I love you

She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight
She broke away
She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, airtight
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away

Well she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
Well she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
She went down, down, down there into the sea
She went down, down, down there, down there for me
Right on
Right on, it’s so good
Right on, it’s so good

There's something that's invisible
There's some things you can't hide
Try to detect you when I'm sleeping
In a wave you say goodbye


ALBUM: TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS (2002)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CANTONESE BOY/JAPAN

We're pushing through these farming towns
We've worked hard ploughing over grounds

Red army calls you
The call of the crowd
Red army needs you
It calls you now

Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Civilian soldier
Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Red army calls you home

We're singing
Marching through the fields
We're changing
The lives we've led for years

Red army calls you
The call of the crowd
Red army needs you
It calls you now

Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Civilian soldier
Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Red army calls you home

Red army calls you
Red army needs you
Red army calls you
Red army needs you

Gentlemen you heard this call
Raised your glass and called for more
Only young men broke the wall

ALBUM: OIL ON CANVAS (1983)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: EVIDENCE/FAITH NO MORE

If you want to open your hole
Just put your head down and go
Step beside the piece of the circumstance
Got to wash away the taste of evidence
Wash it away

Evidence
Evidence
Evidence
Got a taste of evidence

I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing

Anything you say we know you're guilty
Hands above your head and you won't even feel me

Evidence
Evidence
Evidence
Got a taste of evidence

I didn't feel a thing
You didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing
I didn't feel a thing
You didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing

ALBUM: KING FOR A DAY, FOOL FOR A LIFETIME (1995)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WE ARE THE PIGS/SUEDE

Well the church bells are calling
Police cars on fire
And as they call you to the eye of the storm
All the people say
Stay at home tonight

I say we are the pigs
We are the swine
We are the stars of the firing
Of the firing line

And as the smack cracks at your window
You wake up with a gun in your mouth
Let the nuclear wind blow away my sins
And I'll stay at home in my house

I say we are the pigs
We are the swine
We are the stars of the firing
I say we are the pigs
We are the swine
We are the stars of the firing
Of the firing line

We are the pigs
We are the swine
We are the stars of the firing
But deceit can't save you so

We all watch them burn
We all watch them burn
We all watch them burn
We all watch them burn
We all watch them
We all watch them
We all watch them burn
Watch them burn

ALBUM: DOG MAN STAR (1994)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOMESICK/THE CURE

Hey, hey
Just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win
Turns to nothing today
And I forget how to move
When my mouth is this dry
And my eyes are bursting hearts
In a blood-stained sky
Oh, it was sweet
It was wild
And oh, how we
I trembled
Stuck in honey
Honey cling to me
So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me
The desire in me
To never go home

Just one more
And I'll walk away
All the everything you win
Turns to nothing today
So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me
The desire in me
To never go home

ALBUM: DISINTEGRATION (1989)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BY STARLIGHT/THE SMASHING PUMPKINS

By starlight I'll kiss you
And promise to be your one and only
I'll make you feel happy
And leave you to be lost in mine
And where will we go
What will we do?
Soon said I will know
Are you just like me?
Dead eyes, dead eyes
Are you just like me?
Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas
Dead eyes, dead eyes
Are you just like me?
And all along we knew we'd carry on
Just to belong

By starlight I know you
As lovely as a wish granted true
My life has been empty
My life has been untrue
And does she really know who I really am?
Does she really know me at last?
Are you just like me?
Dead eyes, dead eyes
Are you just like me?
Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas
Dead eyes, dead eyes
Are you just like me?

ALBUM: MELLON COLLIE AND THE INFINITE SADNESS (1995)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FOLLOWED THE WAVES/MELISSA AUF DER MAUR

Feel me sneaking around again
Am I hanging around again?
Can't you see?
That my heart lies
My heart lies to you

I followed the waves to you
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you
You'll never have me true

Please don't
Please don't make amends
See me
See me slip again
Break my heart
The cards of fate
Seal the deal
My heart lies
My heart lies to you

I followed the waves to you
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you
You'll never have me true
I followed the waves to you
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you
I'll never stay with you

I followed the waves to you
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you
You'll never have me true

Between my fire sighs and my burning eyes
My heart burns wildly in his eyes
He's just a drunken, gambling man
Dealing with the hand of desire's thing
I'm gonna shuffle his deck clean
I'm gonna shuffle his deck clean

ALBUM: AUF DER MAUR (2004)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TALK SHOW HOST/RADIOHEAD

I want to
I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon this surface for the birds
The birds
The birds

You want me
Fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting
With a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing
Nothing
Nothing

You want me
Well come on and break the door down
You want me
Fucking come on and break the door down
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready

I'm ready
I'm ready


ALBUM: STREET SPIRIT (FADE OUT) (CD 1) (1996)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I STARTED SOMETHING I COULDN'T FINISH/THE SMITHS

The lanes were silent
There was nothing, no one
Nothing around for miles
I doused our friendly venture
With a hard faced
Three word gesture

I started something
I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the guilded beams
That's what tradition means
And I doused another venture
With a gesture
That was absolutely vile

I started something
I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the guilded beams
That's what tradition means
And now eighteen months' hard labour
Seems fair enough

I started something
And I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I started something
I started something
Typical me, typical me, typical me
Typical me, typical me, typical me
Typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure
