SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE - Audioslave

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFUrHhONTz4

And with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy an eyeful of sleep
And in the aching night under satellites
I was not received
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease

(chorus)
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live

And in the after birth
On the quiet earth
Let the stains remind you
You thought you made a man
You better think again
Before my role defines you

(chorus)
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live

And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=TS9_ipu9GKw

Someone told me long ago,
there's a calm before the storm.
I know, and it's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day.
I know, shinin' down like water.
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday, and days before,
sun is cold and rain is hard.
I know, it's been that way for all my time.
'Til forever on it goes
through the circle fast and slow,
I know, and it can't stop, I wonder.
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
comin' down on a sunny day?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
comin' down on a sunny day?
comin' down on a sunny day?

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=XfyEpmQM7 ... re=related

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping
Worried about the way things might have been

A big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river

Been a lot of places down in Memphis
I umped a lot of babes down in New Orleans
Had a lot of shots at good times in the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river bout queen

A big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river

If you come down to the river
I betcha you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry
'Cause you have no money
People along the river are happy to give

I said a big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river

Franco Battiato - La cura
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IldsVLo ... re=related

Ti proteggeró dalle paure delle ipocondrie,
dai turbamenti che da oggi incontrerai per la tua via.
Dalle ingiustizie e dagli inganni del tuo tempo,
dai fallimenti che per tua natura normalmente attirerai.
Ti solleveró dai dolori e dai tuoi sbalzi d'umore,
dalle ossessioni delle tue manie.
Supereró le correnti gravitazionali,
lo spazio e la luce
per non farti invecchiare.
E guarirai da tutte le malattie,
perchè sei un essere speciale,
ed io, avró cura di te.

Vagavo per i campi del Tennessee
(come vi ero arrivato, chissà ).
Non hai fiori bianchi per me?
Più veloci di aquile i miei sogni
attraversano il mare.

Ti porteró soprattutto il silenzio e la pazienza.
Percorreremo assieme le vie che portano all'essenza.
I profumi d'amore inebrieranno i nostri corpi,
la bonaccia d'agosto non calmerà  i nostri sensi.
Tesseró i tuoi capelli come trame di un canto.
Conosco le leggi del mondo, e te ne faró dono.
Supereró le correnti gravitazionali,
lo spazio e la luce per non farti invecchiare.
TI salveró da ogni malinconia,
perchè sei un essere speciale ed io avró cura di te...
io sì, che avró cura di te.

Losing My Religion


Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

(chorus)
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

(repeat chorus)

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

Proseguiamo l'operazione nostalgia...
Questo è un pezzo che mi stregó letteralmente quando usci...ma anche oggi, a distanza di trent'anni, mi lascia basito per quanto è bello...
Notte a tutti. a domani!

Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=EgbGaYTkkPU

Winding your way down Baker Street
light in your head and dead on your feet.
Well, another crazy day
you'll drink the night away
and forget about everything.
This city desert makes you feel so cold.
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul.
And it's taken you so long
to find out you're wrong
when you thought it held everything.
You used to think that it was so easy.
You used to say that it was so easy.
But you're trying, you're trying now.
Another year and then you'd be happy.
Just one more year and then you'd be happy.
But you're crying, you're crying now.
Way down the street there's a light on his place.
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face.
And he asks you where you've been.
You tell him who you've seen.
And you talk about anything.
He's got his dream about buying some land.
He's gonna give up the booze
and the one night stands.
And then he'll settle down
in some quiet little town
and forget about everything.
But you know he will always keep moving.
You know he's never gonna stop moving.
Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone.
When you wake up it's a new morning.
The sun is shining, it's a new morning.
But you're going, you're going wrong.
But you're going, you're going wrong

Join Me - H.I.M.


Baby join me in death
Baby join me in death
Baby join me in death

We are so young
our lives have just begun
but already we're considering
escape from this world

and we've waited for so long
for this moment to come
we're so anxious to be together
together in death

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

This world is a cruel place
and we're here only to lose
so before life tears us apart let
death bless me with you

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

this life ain't worth living
this life ain't worth living
this life ain't worth living
this life ain't worth living

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

Baby join me in death

Testo non eccezionalmente vario, ma espressione di una sofferenza estrema mostrata anche da un sound melodioso e allo stesso tempo ritmato

The Tiger Lillies - Terrible
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=rpefat6TgII


On Mondays murder children, little girls and boys
I put my hands around their throats till they don't make a noise
Tuesdays torture animals, pluck off small birds wings
Watch them as they bleed to death, then they don't sing
Wednesdays I defecate on the priest's front door
If the priest he does complain, I just do it some more
Thursdays I Molatov the local orphans home
Love those little orphans, charred down to the bone

I'm terrible, terrible, shouldn't be allowed
To sing my songs of filth to a decent crowd

On Fridays sodomize tender virgin nuns
Tie them up, lear at them, and then I have my fun
Saturdays I stand and sing my sad, sad, sick, sick songs
To anyone who listen, who in the head is wrong
Sundays, Sundays, the day I love the best
Rape, murder, pillage while other people rest

I'm terrible, terrible, shouldn't be allowed
To sing my songs of filth to a decent crowd
I'm terrible, terrible, shouldn't be allowed
But when I do offend someone it makes me feel so proud

[lone wolf]

Era il 1991 quando tra i tulipani spuntó fuori questa meraviglia...

Ten Sharp - You (were always on my mind)
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=9NWyu42zl0w

It's all right with me
as long as you, are by my side
talk or just say nothing
I don't mind your looks never lie
M... I was always on the rum
finding out, what I was looking for and I
was always insecure, A A Just until I found

Words offen don't come easy
I never learnd to show the inside do it me your not my baby
But you all always patient
dragging out what I try to hide
I was always on the rum
finding out, what I was looking for and I
was always insicure until I found

You, You are always on my mind
You, You're the one I'm living for
You, you're my everlasting fire no more...
You're my always shining star
you're my always

The night always a good friend
a glass of wine and the lights dawn low
and you lying beside me
me full of love and filled with ho......

You, You are always on my mind
You, You're the one I'm living for
You, you're my everlasting fire no more...
You're my always shining star
you're my always

ELO - Last Train To London
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=3v6MBHpzZ ... re=related

It was 9-29,9-29 back street big city.
The sun was going' down,there was music all around
It felt so right.

It was one of those nights,one of those nights when
you feel the world stop turnin',you were standing
There,there was music in the air.I should have been
Away,but I knew I'd have to stay.

CHORUS

Last train to London,just headin' out,
Last train to London,just leavin' town.
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight.

It was one of those nights,one of those nights when
You feel the fire is burnin',everybody was there,
Everybody to share,it felt so right.

There you were on your own,lookin' like you were
The only one around,I had to be with you,
Nothin' else that I could do,
I should have been away,but I knew I'd have to say.

Repeat Chorus

Underneath a starry sky,time was still but hours
Must really have rushed by,I didn't realize
But love was in your eyes I really should have
Gone,but love went on and on...

Repeat Chorus

ELO - Evil Woman
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=rJg_36NeY ... re=related

You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.
Hey woman, you got the blues, cos' you ain't got no one else to use.
There's an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles
between here and there.
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in,
You took my body and played to win,
Ha Ha woman it's a crying shame,
But you ain't got no one else to blame.
CHORUS
E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, Evil Woman
Rolled in from another town,
Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze,
Ha Ha woman what you gonna do,
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you,
It's so good that you're feeling pain,
But you better get yourself on board the very next train.
CHORUS:REPEAT
Evil woman how you done me wrong,
But now you're tryin' to wail a different song,
Ha Ha funny how you broke me up, you made the wine now you
drink the cup,
I came runnin' every time you cried,
Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes,
Ha Ha very nice to know, that you ain't got no place left to go.
CHORUS:REPEAT

David Bowie - Let's Dance
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=30AVhf-ZLwM

Let's dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance to the song they're playin' on the radio

Let's sway while colour lights up your face
Let's sway sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance for fear your grace should fall
Let's dance for fear tonight is all

Let's sway you could look into my eyes
Let's sway under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance to the song they're playin' on the radio

Let's sway you could look into my eyes
Let's sway under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

THE CLASH - GUNS OF BRIXTON

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell

You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come

You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton

Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game is called survivin'
As in heaven as in hell

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

Na sera e maggio, n'addore e' rose

'Na sera e maggio, n'addore e' rose
dicitincello che è fernuto tutte cose,
non vaco cchiù svariando sotto a 'stu terrazzo, m'ha rutt'o' cazz'!

Dicitincello ca 'a voglio bene
ma aggiu passato troppi guaje e troppi pene
na storia e' mmerda e mo' ca nuje stamm' alla fine, tira a' catena.

A Marechiaro è nata sta passione
manella int'o' cazone, cuppulone cuppuló.
I' nun tenev' manc' è sord' pe' magnà 
e lei diceva, si tu nun me vuó spusa, c'à  nun se chiava
Io la pregavo, stu cos' tuost'
fammelo mettere, Rosina, in qualche posto
e lei inflessibile, io no non te lo sbuccio, stu cazz'è ciuccio.

Cagna a' città , ma la storia è sempre quella,
scuordatella addó và , muzzarella e' addiventet' stu babba
e' mó bell'è papa chi m'alliscia chistu' unbrell'

'Na sera e' maggio, n'addore e' rose
non vac' chiù svariand' sotto a stu terrazzo, m'ha rutt'o' cazz'
ricintncell' c'ha a voglio bene
na storia e' merd' e mo ca nuje stamm' alla fine, tira a' catena

ricintncell' povero ammore
cà  nun ma scord, i' teng' a' fessa rint'o' core
peró non torno a sfruculià  sott'o' terrazzo, m'ha rutt'o' cazz'
i' nun só pazz', ..m'è rutt' o' cazz'.....

Ogni 'vvota 'ca me sento 'sta canzone
Me pare 'nu guaglione 'ca more appriesso a te
Me ne vaco 'cu 'sti 'mmane ind'o cazone
Sent' 'nu scuzzettone, n'amico 'ca me fa:

Uè, guarda 'stu culo che passa
Uè, guarda 'stu core che fesso
Sempe 'nnammurato, 'nnammurato 'e chella 'llà 
Uè, guarda 'ca chiove e nun passa
Uè, si 'stu turmiento me passa
Manco 'nu minuto me dà  'cchiù pe' respirà 
Uè, guarda si vene 'sta cessa
Uè, chissà  a chest'ora addó stà 
Chiagne, ma chi cazz' m'o 'ffà  fà 

Parle, parle 'ca me pare n'avvocato
Stasera sì turnata, dimmane te ne vaje
Chiano chiano te si fatta femminista
E a chi c'ho porte chisto, nun se fa ammore maje

Uè, guarda 'stu culo che passa
Uè, guarda 'stu core che fesso
Sempe 'nnammurato, sta 'nguajato 'e chella 'llà 
Uè, ma che fetente 'e matina
Uè, canta te sento luntano
Manco 'na canzone sotto 'a luna se po' 'ffà 
Uè, fosse 'nu poco curnuto
Uè, fosse 'nu poco addovà 
Chiagne, ma chi cazz' m'o 'ffà  fà 
Chiagne, ma chi cazz' m'o 'ffà  fà 

Ogni 'vvota 'ca me sento 'sta canzone
Nun è napulitano, buciarda comme a te
Ce stà  'ggente 'ca nun magna manco 'o 'ppane
Ma quanno sponta 'a luna se mettono a cantà 

Uè, guarda 'stu culo che passa
Uè, guarda 'stu core che fesso
Sempe n'ammurato, n'ammurato 'e chella 'llà 
Uè, guarda 'ca chiove nun passa
Uè, si 'stu turmiento me lassa
Manco 'nu minuto me dà  'cchiù 'pe respirà 
Uè, guarda si vene 'sta cessa
Uè, chissà  a chest'ora addó 'stà 
Chiagne, ma chi cazz' m'o 'ffà  fà
