CCCP "Annarella"

Lasciami qui
Lasciami stare
Lasciami così
Non dire una parola che non sia d'amore
Per me
Per la mia vita che
È tutto quello che ho
È tutto quello che io ho
E non è ancora
Finita
Finita...

[Drogato_ di_porno]

A-ha - Take on me

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

[Chorus]

Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

[Chorus]

Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Franco Battiato - Scherzo in minore

Accanto a un platano ingiallito
Ti giurai amore per l'eternità
Mi risvegliavi un innocenza preadamitica
E una immobilità
Ma l'uomo non è pietra di tungsteno
E cambia spesso proprietà
Uccide sempre a tradimento con veleno di invidia e di infedeltà
E i giorni si cancellano l'un l'altro
E il caldo al freddo si unisce svelto
Con mosse da levriero il mio dolore cambia pur esso il suo colore.
Ho visto un lampo illuminare scene del futuro
Gli anni mi dividono in sparse parti
Il numero sapessi lascia tracce.

[Lonewolf]

Testo in cui mi ritrovo molto...


Ligabue Figlio di un Cane

Abituato a morso e fuga
mi sporco di fango catrame e di ruggine
L'istinto mi spinge a un sole che mi asciuga
a un metro dalla grandine
Coccolato qualche volta
da qualche signora che altro animale non ha
chiusa l'ennesima porta c'è la strada
e a lei che dietro chiamerà
E fra un po' si torna in calore e lo sai
che per qualcuno e' comodo.
C'e' una cuccia un osso e un padrone per noi.
Identita':
figlio d'un cane
figlio d'un cane
figlio di cinque minuti
Identita':
figlio d'un cane
figlio d'un cane
figlio d'un equivoco
Identita':
figlio d'un cane
figlio d'un cane
figlio d'amplessi rubati
Identita':
figlio d'un cane
figlio d'un figlio di un preservativo rotto
E allora ululo ed alzo il bicchiere
fra sassi, scarponi e bestemmie che tirano.
Ed ululare e' un sollievo
e un piacere
che almeno do fastidio un po'
E ogni tanto ciotole piene che poi
non brontoli lo stomaco
briciole ed avanzi di ieri per noi.
(rit.)

Da "Barstool Blues", Neil Young:

"If I could hold on to just one thought
for long enough to know
why my mind is moving so fast
and the conversation is slow!"

[KrystalClub]

Sempre il vecchio Neil, da "Powderfinger":

"Just think of me
as one you'd never figured
Would fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my love,
I know I'll miss her."

[maurizio mosca]

Mr. Tambourine Man - Bob Dylan

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Ho notato che c'è stata un bel po' di new-wave negli ultimi post. Aggiungo la canzone di un altro gruppo simile, tratto da un grande album che ho rispolverato ultimamente.

LOVE LIKE BLOOD
"Pale Sky"


SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE WORLDS
SOMEWHERE UNDER THE PALE SKY

AT DEAD OF NIGHT
NOISELESS A COMET FALLS
AS ANGELS HOLDING BACK THE STORM
FROM SOUTH, NORTH, WEST AND EAST
IT WAS A ABSOLUTE DEATHLY SILENCE
NO BREATH OF WIND
THERE WAS NO RUSTLING LEAF IN THE TREES
THE OCEAN SMOOTH AS GLASS
LIKE THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
NOISELESS THE COMET FALLS
THE COMET FALLS

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE WORLDS
SOMEWHERE UNDER THE PALE SKY
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE WORLDS
SOMEWHERE UNDER THE PALE SKY

AND SOME ARE TURNING BACK
NOISELESS A COMET FALLS
NEVER A COMPROMISE
NEVER STAY BETWEEN THE WORLDS
WHEN YOU HAVE TO DECIDE
FOR ONE OF THE SIDES
WHEN WE MARK THE BODIES
WHEN WE MARK THE LINES

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE WORLDS
SOMEWHERE UNDER THE PALE SKY
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE WORLDS
SOMEWHERE UNDER THE PALE SKY

NOISELESS THE COMET FALLS
NOISELESS THE COMET FALLS
NOISELESS THE COMET FALLS
THE COMET FALLS
THE COMET FALLS
THE COMET FALLS

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE WORLDS
SOMEWHERE UNDER THE PALE SKY
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE WORLDS
SOMEWHERE UNDER THE PALE SKY

Un mondo sempre sognato, sempre ambito, e che per me non è mai stato ed ormai non sarà più.

STEPPENWOLF: "Born To Be Wild"

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never want to die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

[KrystalClub]

...perchè oggi è così che mi sento:

JETHRO TULL "Too Old to Rock'N'Roll, Too Young to Die"


The old Rocker wore his hair too long,
wore his trouser cuffs too tight.
Unfashionable to the end drank his ale too light.
Death's head belt buckle yesterday's dreams
the transport caf' prophet of doom.
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams
in his post-war-babe gloom.

Now he's too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die.

He once owned a Harley Davidson and a Triumph Bonneville.
Counted his friends in burned-out spark plugs
and prays that he always will.
But he's the last of the blue blood greaser boys
all of his mates are doing time:
married with three kids up by the ring road
sold their souls straight down the line.

And some of them own little sports cars
and meet at the tennis club do's.
For drinks on a Sunday work on Monday.
They've thrown away their blue suede shoes.

Now they're too old to Rock'n'Roll and they're too young to die.

So the old Rocker gets out his bike
to make a ton before he takes his leave.
Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
just like it used to be.
And as he flies tears in his eyes
his wind-whipped words echo the final take
and he hits the trunk road doing around 120
with no room left to brake.

And he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he was too young to die.
No, you're never too old to Rock'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

[ASSBANGER]

In un momento di smarrimento, un abbraccio con la fidanzata e questa canzone mi hanno risollevato.

NICKELBACK
"If Today Was Your Last Day"



My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day’s a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What’s worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try
So live like you’ll never live it twice
Don’t take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you’re dreamin’ of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it’s never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
‘Cause you can’t rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin’ stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you’re dreamin’ of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

[araxe]

It's not the red of the dying sun
The morning sheet's surprising stain
It's not the red of which we bleed
The red of cabernet sauvignon
A world of ruby all in vain

It's not that red

It's not as golden as Zeus' famous shower
It doesn't, not at all, come from above
It's in the open but it doesn't get stolen
It's not that gold
It's not as golden as memory
Or the age of the same name

It's not that gold

I wish this would be your colour...
Your colour, I wish

It is as black as Malevitch's square
The cold furnace in which we stare
A high pitch on a future scale
It is a starless winternights' tale
It suits you well

It is that black

I wish this would be your colour...
Your colour, I wish

[KrystalClub]

I wish this would be your colour...
Your colour, I wish

Stupenda, araxe.

BAUHAUS "She's in Parties"

Learning lines in the rain
Special effects by Loonatik and Drinks
The graveyard scene
The golden years

She's in parties
It's in the can (twice)

Freeze frame screen kiss
Hot heads under silent wigs
Fall guys tumble on the cutting room floor
Look-a-likes fall on the cutting room door

She's in parties
It's in the can (twice)

Learning lines in the rain
Special effects by Loonatik and drinks
Freeze frame, screen kiss, hot heads, lights and power
It's patently obvious

She's in parties
It's in the can (twice)

Hot lines under a rain of drum
Cigarette props in action
Dialogue dub, now heres the rub
She's acting her reaction

She's in parties
It's in the can

TE LO FACCIO VEDERE CHI SONO IO (Ciampi - Marchetti)

Una regina come te in questa casa? ma che succede?
ma siamo tutti pazzi? ma io adesso sai che cosa faccio?
che ore sono? le undici? io fra - guarda - fra cinque ore
sono qua e c'hai una casa con quattordici stanze,
te lo faccio vedere chi sono io. E che sono quei cenci
che hai addosso?! ma che è, ma fammi capire...
ma senti... ma io... ma come! Tu sei... sei la mia...
e stiamo in questa stamberga coi cenci addosso!
Ma io adesso esco, sai che cosa faccio? ma io ti porto...
una pelliccia... di leone... con l'innesto di una tigre.
Te lo faccio vedere chi sono io.

Senti, intanto però c'è un problema: siccome devo uscire,
mi puoi dare mille lire per il tassì in modo che arrivo
più in fretta a risolvere questo problema volgare che
abbiamo? Te lo faccio vedere chi sono io, lascia fare
a me, lascia fare a me, lascia fare a me perché... ti
devi fidare.

Ma che cosa ti avevo detto, una casa? ma io sai che cosa
faccio? ma io ti compro un sottomarino. Perché? se qui
davanti a casa nostra quelli c'hanno la barca e rompono
le scatole, io ti compro un sottomarino! così, sai, li fai
ridere tutti, questi, hai capito? Intanto facciamo una cosa,
che fra cinque ore sono qua: tu metti la pentola sul fuoco,
ci facciamo un bel piatto di spaghetti al burro mentre
aspettiamo il trasloco, poi ci ficchiamo a letto e te lo faccio
vedere chi sono io: ti sganghero! Te lo faccio vedere
chi sono io! Te lo faccio vedere chi sono io,
sono un uomo asociale ma sono un uomo che ti...
Io non ti compro il sottomarino: ti compro un transatlantico.
Basta che tu non scappi, stai attenta che... se scappi
col transatlantico ti affogo nel... nell'Oceano Pacifico.
Dai, dai, coricati, vai che ti sganghero,
te lo faccio vedere chi sono io!

TE LO FACCIO VEDERE CHI SONO IO (Ciampi - Marchetti)

Di questa avevo il 45 giri...mamma mia, che brividi.

E quest'altra no?
