mezza giornata senza gozer e via chi posta i video sul grande ringo starr, chi i testi dei pearl jam, chi contesta i dati sulle vendite... la pagherete tutti.

I tried to love you i thought i could
I tried to own you i thought i would
I want to peel the skin from your face
Before the real you lays to waste

You told me I'm the only one
Sweet little angel you should have run
Lying, crying, dying to leave
Innocence creates my hell

Cheating myself still you know more
It would be so easy with a whore
Try to understand me little girl
My twisted passion to be your world

Lost inside my sick head
I live for you but i'm not alive
Take my hand before i kill
Still love you, i still burn

Love, hate, love.

JONI MITCHELL

 

DOWN TO YOU

 

Everything comes and goes
Marked by lovers and styles of clothes
Things that you held high
And told yourself were true
Lost or changing as the days come down to you
Down to you
Constant stranger
You're a kind person
You're a cold person too
It's down to you
It all comes down to you

You go down to the pick up station
Craving warmth and beauty
You settle for less than fascination
A few drinks later you're not so choosy
When the closing lights strip off the shadows
On this strange new flesh you've found
Clutching the night to you like a fig leaf
You hurry
To the blackness
And the blankets
To lay down an impression
And your loneliness

In the morning there are lovers in the street
They look so high
You brush against a stranger
And you both apologize
Old friends seem indifferent
You must have brought that on
Old bonds have broken down
Love is gone
Oooh love is gone
Written on your spirit this sad song
Love is gone

Everything comes and goes
Pleasure moves on too early
And trouble leaves too slow
Just when you're thinking
You've finally got it made
Bad news comes knocking
At your garden gate
Knocking for you
Constant stranger
You're a brute you're an angel
You can crawl you can fly too
It's down to you
It all comes down to you

Shellac - Prayer To God

 

To the one true God above:
here is my prayer -
not the first you've heard, but the first I wrote.
(not the first, but the others were a long time ago).
There are two people here, and I want you to kill them.
Her - she can go quietly, by disease or a blow
to the base of her neck,
where her necklaces close,
where her garments come together,
where I used to lay my face...
That's where you oughta kill her,
in that particular place.
Him - just fucking kill him, I don't care if it hurts.
Yes I do, I want it to,
fucking kill him but first
make him cry like a woman,
(no particular woman),
let him hold out hope that someone or other might come
then fucking kill him
Fucking kill him.
Kill him already, kill him.
Fucking kill him, fucking kill him,
Kill him already, kill him.
Fucking kill him, fucking kill him,
Kill him already, kill him.
Just fucking kill him! Fucking kill him,
Fucking kill him already, kill him.
Ah Fucking kill him, fucking kill him,
Kill him already, kill him.
Kill him already, kill him already
Kill him, fucking kill him.
Just fucking kill him, fuckin kill him,
Kill him already, kill him.
Fuckin kill him, kill him,
Fucking kill him already, kill him.

Kill him, fucking kill him,
Kill him, just fucking kill him.
Kill them already, kill them already,
Kill him.
Amen.

R.E.M. - World Leader Pretend

 

I sit at my table and wage war on myself

It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing

I know the barricades, and

I know the mortar in the wall breaks

I recognize the weapons,

I used them well

 

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down

 

I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses

I proclaim that claims are left unstated,

I demand a rematch

I decree a stalemate

I divine my deeper motives

I recognize the weapons

I've practiced them well.

I fitted them myself

 

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

 

Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory

Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me

 

This is my world

And I am the world leader pretend

This is my life

And this is my time

I have been given the freedom

To do as I see fit

It's high time I've razed the walls

That I've constructed

 

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

 

You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony

You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls

And I'm the only one

I will be the one to knock it down

SOFT CELL - SAY HELLO WAVE GOODBYE

 

Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo

Crying in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love
And I'm gonna make sure it never
Happens again
You and I
It had to be the 
Standing joke of the year
You were a sleep around
A lost and found
And not for me I fear

Well our love

I tried to make it work
You in cocktail skirt 
And me in a suit
Well it just wasn't me
You're used to wearing less
And now you're lifes a mess
So insecure you see
I put up with all the scenes
But this is one scene
that's going to be played my way

Take your hands of me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face 
For the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello, goodbye

Say hello, wave goodbye

Under the deep red light
I can see the make up 
Sliding down
Hey little girl, you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown
What about me, well I'll find someone
that's not going cheap in the sales
A nice litle housewife
Who'll give me a steady life
And won't keep going of the rails

Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello wave goodbye
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say goodbye
Goodbye

con tutto questo parlare di cocteau twins in questi giorni, mi sono ri-imbattuto in teardrop e ho letto il testo:

 

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Night, night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

It's tumbling down (as in love falling apart) 
It's tumbling down (as in love falling apart)

in tema yeasayer... henrietta. che parla di lei: https://en.wikipedia...Henrietta_Lacks

 

Fever in the night, and the tremors come on

But it's you who'll survive, just like nobody thought
Nails turnin' red, lying cold on the bed
And now it turns out, death's not the end

She was a bone, we sharpened our teeth
A magnificent drone, was serving under our feet
You'll be making me rich, he'll throw you away
And after he's gone, oh HeLa's here to stay

Radiation makes you weak, tried okays leave your speech
The world owes more than they'll pay, in the wind I heard them say...

Oh Henrietta, we can live on forever...

If...

 

If you were the road 

I'd go all the way 
If you were the night 

I'd sleep in the day
If you were the day
I'd cry in the night
'Cause you are the way
The truth and the light
If you were a tree
I could put my arms around you
And you could not complain
If you were a tree
I could carve my name into your side
And you would not cry,
'Cos trees don't cry

If you were a man
I would still love you
If you were a drink
I'd drink my fill of you
If you were attacked
I would kill for you
If your name was Jack
I'd change mine to Jill for you
If you were a horse
I'd clean the crap out of your stable
And never once complain
If you were a horse
I could ride you through the fields at dawn
Through the day until the day was gone
I could sing about you in my songs
As we rode away into the setting sun

If you were my little girl
I would find it hard to let you go
If you were my sister
I would find it doubly so
If you were a dog
I'd feed you scraps from off the table
Though my wife complains
If you were my dog
I am sure you'd like it better
Then you'd be my loyal four legged friend
You'd never have to think again
And we could be together till the end

 

[StuntmanMike]

Ladies, let me tell you about myself
I got a dick for a brain
And my brain is gonna sell my ass to you
Now i'm ok, but in time i'll find i'm stuck
'cause she wants love, and i still want to fuck
Now that i'm ashamed, it burns
But the weight is off
Now that you're out of the way
I turn and i can walk
You showed no sympathy, my love

And this was no place for you and me to walk alone..

On my grave, am i ok?
I'm sure i'm not
Ladies let me tell you about my love
She kept giving me more
But it wasn't enough
So understand
Now that i come to you
To understand my little self
To understand my little self

And baby you be sweet..

[Serena]

I am alone in a box of stone
When all is said and done
As the wind blows to the east from the west
Unto this bed, my tears have their solemn rest

I am lonely, alone in a box of stone
They claim they loved me but they all lieing
I am lonely alone in a box of my own
And this is the place, I now belong

Its my home, home, home, home home home home home x2

It wasnt easy getting used to this
I use to scream
Its not true, that its only when the door is locked
That nobody enters
Cuz mine has been open till your demise
But none had come, well who am I,
What have i done wrong?

The Shins - New Slang 

 

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
Only I don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet I was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you'd 'a took to me like a gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree
And I'd 'a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never should have called
But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely.

And if you'd 'a took to me like a gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree
And I'd 'a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn
May they all cut their thumbs,
And bleed into their buns 'til they melt away.

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?

And if you'd 'a took to me like
I'd 'a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

His name was Perry
He had a learning difficulty
His father was a very mean man
His father burned his skin

His father send him to his death
He was ten years old..

Her name was Naomi
Beautiful round face, so ashamed
Told me how to please a man
After school in the back of a bus

She was doing it every day
She was eleven years old..

Her name was Sheryl
Black hair, like an electric space
She would pretty paint my face
She was a very good friend

Her father would come to her in the night

She was twelve years old..

His name was Donovan
He was a very good friend
The cards were stacked against him
He was selling cocaine

The last time i saw him
He was thirteen years old..

His name was Charles
He said he was in love with me
We were both fourteen
Then i had to move away

 

Then he began to smoke crack
Then he had to sell ass
I don't know where he is
I don't know where they are..

You're never far away from my mind 

Always too far away to see 

Controlled explosions wreck the train line 

Just can't believe the coast is clear 

I get this feelin' 

It's such an itch, itch 

You're somewhere out there in a landslide

All hope just slippin' through like sand

Telephone lines down in a rainstorm 

And I'm like a ship moored on dry land 

I get this feelin' 

It's such a bitch

 

You're always far out in the midrange 

All around the state boundary spillage signs 

Somebody burnt down all the pylons 

And your my passport past these mines 

I get this feelin' 

I wanna hitch 

 

Hitch a ride on your smile 

Hitch a ride on your smile 

Hitch a ride away from here 

Hitch a ride on your smile 

Hitch a ride away from here 

I get this feelin' 

 

End of the tunnel light just blinds me 

While you weep like a willow tree 

Send out distress signals to find me 

They shine so hard so why can't we? 

I get this feelin' 

Wanna hitch 

 

Hitch a ride on your smile 

Hitch a ride on your smile 

Hitch a ride away from here 

Hitch a ride on your smile 

Hitch a ride away 

I get this feelin'

Brand New - Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone I could save
If they don't put me away
Well, it'll be a miracle

Do you believe you're missin' out
That everything good is happening somewhere else?
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through

And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won't know anyone

Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
'cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend.

Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die,
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?

Do I divide and fall apart?
'cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark
And the ship went down in sight of land
And at the gates, does Thomas ask to see my hands?

I know you're coming in the night like a thief
But I've had some time alone to hone my lying technique
I know you think that I'm someone you can trust
But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up (everyone now)

So do you think that we could work out a sign
So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try

I know you're coming for the people like me
We all got wood and nails
And tongue-tied at hate factories
We all got wood and nails
And tongue-tied at hate factories
We all got wood and nails
And we sleep inside of this machine

prefab sprout - pearly gates

 

Feel the sun upon your back
Someone somewhere wants to steal it
Pray each night you'll catch the thief
But while you sleep he comes and takes it
Does that make you think little girl?
Doesn't it just little boy
There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say after you 
You'll say I don't mind the wait
There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
Naked and afraid, 
Cowering we crawl on all fours
See the smile on her young face
Watch life casually erase it
Now I know she's all grown up
She wears a look I can't quite place yet
What makes you cry little girl?
Maybe I'm scared little boy
There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say after you 
You'll say I don't mind the wait
There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
Naked and afraid, 
Cowering we crawl on all fours
There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say after you 
You'll say I don't mind the wait

Every thousand years
This metal sphere
Ten times the size of Jupiter
Floats just a few yards past the earth
You climb on your roof
And take a swipe at it
With a single feather
Hit it once every thousand years
'Til you've worn it down
To the size of a pea
Yeah I'd say that's a long time
But it's only half a blink
In the place you're gonna be
...

(Martsch, Calvino)

ogni mille anni
questa sfera di metallo
dieci volte più grande di giove
fluttua a pochi passi dalla Terra
e ti arrampichi sul tetto
e la colpisci con una piuma
la colpisci una volta ogni mille anni

solo a me ricorda il primo racconto de Le Cosmicomiche?!?

Bob Dylan - Ballad Of A Thin Man

 

You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, “Who is that man?”
You try so hard
But you don’t understand
Just what you’ll say
When you get home

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You raise up your head
And you ask, “Is this where it is?”
And somebody points to you and says
“It’s his”
And you say, “What’s mine?”
And somebody else says, “Where what is?”
And you say, “Oh my God
Am I here all alone?”

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, “How does it feel
To be such a freak?”
And you say, “Impossible”
As he hands you a bone

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations

You’ve been with the professors
And they’ve all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You’ve been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books
You’re very well read
It’s well known

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, “Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan”

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word “NOW”
And you say, “For what reason?”
And he says, “How?”
And you say, “What does this mean?”
And he screams back, “You’re a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home”

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin’ around
You should be made
To wear earphones

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Dark End of the Street lyrics - Andrew Strong

 

At the dark end of the street

that is where we always meet

hiding in shadows where we don't belong

living in darkness, to hide alone

 

You and me, at the dark end of the street

You and me

 

I know a time has gonna take it's toll

we have to pay for the love we stole

It's a sin and we know it's wrong

Oh, our love keeps going on strong

 

Steal away to the dark end of the street

You and me

 

They gonna find us, they gonna find us

They gonna find us love someday

 

You and me, at the dark end of the street

You and me

 

When the daylight all goes around

And by chance we're both down the town

Please meet, just walk, walk on by

Oh, darling, please don't you cry

 

You and me, at the dark end of the street

You and me

Massimo Volume - Insetti

 

Seduto sul bordo della vasca da bagno

osservo piccoli animaletti

Muovono le loro antenne

tra capelli morti e peli di cazzo

Sembrano provarci gusto

Poi il loro vagare alla ricerca di non so che

mi ricorda qualcosa di già visto

qualcosa di ridicolo e deprimente

E' a questo punto che tronco la loro esistenza

con un getto d'acqua bollente

Trascinati dalla corrente

tornano in quello stesso buco

da dove erano usciti temerari

SFIDANDOOO

L'IRAAAAA

DI DIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ida - Accidents

 

Saw a car burning down on the side of the highway

Ambulance came but I couldn't tell if it got there on time

Lights all a'flashin i could see them through the rear view mirror

II watched them disappear

 

If you gimme a ride i can take you higher

If you gimme a ride i'll do the same for you

Some time

 

People come and go

But they fit just like pieces of puzzles

Pieces of troubles

Lovers come

Lovers move on

I looked for you in the rubble

But i couldn't find you

I can't seem to let you go

 

This is where we cross that line

This is where we lost our time

Abondon love every time

For something more

 

If you gimme a ride i can take you higher

If you gimme a ride i'll do the same for you

Some times

Two dollar color pictures from a photo booth
Dirty stepped on lying out on the floor of their room
Faces fell long in the half light
He looks all wrong but that's her alright

Look at him smiling full of teeth
Clenched tight

 

He knew the one time with the army captain
He got one that whole deal before it happened
Said it's okay i knew exactly what you meant
When you said you were an accident
But when it's 3am he wonders where in the hell she went

 

And he'll drive all over town
Drive all over town
And he'll drive all over town
Drive all over town
Until he tracks her down
He'll drive all over town

Red House Painters - 24

(da quel capolavoro assoluto di "Down Colorful Hill", settembre '92)

 

"So it's not loaded stadiums or ballparks

And we're not kids on swingsets on the blacktop

And I thought at fifteen that I'd have it down by sixteen

And twenty-four keeps breathing in my face

 

Like a mad whore

And twenty-four keeps pounding at my door

Like a friend you don't want to see

 

Oldness comes with a smile

To every love given child

Oldness comes to rile

The youth who dream suicide"

[markmus]

che bello, quando non c'aveva la logorrea.

[Narostium]

Well I stepped into an avalanche,
It covered up my soul;
When I am not this hunchback that you see,
I sleep beneath the golden hill.
You who wish to conquer pain,
You must learn, learn to serve me well.

You strike my side by accident
As you go down for your gold.
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
Is neither starved nor cold;
He does not ask for your company,
Not at the centre, the centre of the world.

When I am on a pedestal,
You did not raise me there.
Your laws do not compel me
To kneel grotesque and bare.
I myself am the pedestal
For this ugly hump at which you stare.

You who wish to conquer pain,
You must learn what makes me kind;
The crumbs of love that you offer me,
They're the crumbs I've left behind.
Your pain is no credential here,
It's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.

I have begun to long for you,
I who have no greed
I have begun to ask for you,
I who have no need.
You say you've gone away from me,
But I can feel you when you breathe.

Do not dress in those rags for me,
I know you are not poor
You don't love me quite so fiercely now
When you know that you are not sure,
It is your turn, beloved,
It is your flesh that I wear.

S'ostina - P.G3.R.

 

tra i cuccioli che crescono e i vecchi che vanno a morire 

l'allevamento doma la buona educazione 

il tempo per partire, il tempo per tornare 

il tempo di guarire, quello che fa ammalare 

c'è sempre polvere intorno e s'alza il vento 

nascosto il fuoco, che cova, dentro 

chi sei tu bello come il sole, chi sei tu più bella della luna 

guardando te conosco la fortuna che gli Dei vorrebbero per sè 

involucro di carne traboccante di umori 

profumo dell'eterno che sgorga dall'abisso 

quando la madre scopre il seno 

il bimbo inebriato dal profumo di buono 

impara il vuoto e il pieno 

impara l'attesa, la gioia e l'abbandono 

impara ad imparare le tracce che fanno camminare 

chi sei tu bello come il sole, chi sei tu più bella della luna 

guardando te conosco la fortuna che gli Dei vorrebbero per sè

il mio testo del giorno, anzi la parola del giorno, e' VITRUVIO

 

 

tratta dall'inizio di questa canzone:

 

 

 

[il nostro caro angelo]

 

Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes 

I can barely define the shape of this moment in time 
And far from flying high in clear blue skies 
I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide 

If you negotiate the minefield in the drive 
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes 
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall 
Dial the combination, open the priest hole 
And if I'm in I'll tell you (what's behind the wall)

There's a kid who had a big hallucination 
Making love to girls in magazines 
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith 
Could anybody love him 
Or is it just a crazy dream? 

And if I show you my dark side 
Will you still hold me tonight? 
And if I open my heart to you 
And show you my weak side 
What would you do? 
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone? 
Would you take the children away 
And leave me alone? 
And smile in reassurance 
As you whisper down the phone? 
Would you send me packing? 
Or would you take me home? 

Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands 
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang 
I never had the nerve to make the final cut

 

(The Final Cut, Pink Floyd)

[Folagra]

 

Nun c’è speranza oggi pe’ domani
mettemose a cantà stàmose boni
’sti botti che sentite nun so’ niente
è ’n temporale novo pe’ la gente
oppure so’ dei fochi d’artificio
guardamo a naso in su co’ ’n ber soriso

a mora dimme sì che te consoli
pe’ strada se pò dì che stamo soli
appoggiate a ’sto muro che te frega
e se quarcuno passa che ce veda
 

e
lascia stà
nun parlà
nun parlà
 

basta un momento e noi semo contenti
e che me dici a fa’ stamoce attenti
in mezzo a questo monno de dolore
se ’n artro ha da soffrì che nasca pure
 

se sgranano ner cielo bei colori
e nun me dici più de venì fori
 

e
lascia stà
nun parlà
nun parlà
 

e quando che ’sta pioggia se n’è annata
voio vedè se Roma s’è sveiata
a gatta ve leccate le ferite
nun c’è più religione che ne dite.

Bella
che ci importa del mondo
verremo perdonati te lo dico io
da un bacio sulla bocca un giorno o l'altro

Ti sembra tutto visto tutto già fatto
tutto quell'avvenire già avvenuto
scritto, corretto e interpretato
da altri meglio che da te

Bella
non ho mica vent'anni
ne ho molti di meno
e questo vuol dire (capirai)
responsabilità
perciò…

Volami addosso se questo è un valzer
volami addosso qualunque cosa sia
abbraccia la mia giacca sotto il glicine
e fammi correre
inciampa piuttosto che tacere
e domanda piuttosto che aspettare

Stancami
e parlami
abbracciami
guarda dietro le mie spalle
poi racconta
e spiegami
tutto questo tempo nuovo
che arriva con te

Mi vedi pulito pettinato
ho proprio l'aria di un campo rifiorito
e tu sei il genio scaltro della bellezza
che il tempo non sfiora
ah, eccolo il quadro dei due vecchi pazzi
sul ciglio del prato di cicale
con l'orchestra che suona fili d'erba
e fisarmoniche
(ti dico)

Bella,
che ci importa del mondo

Stancami
e parlami
abbracciami
fruga dentro le mie tasche
poi perdonami
sorridi
guarda questo tempo
che arriva con te
guarda quanto tempo
arriva con te

"Reptile"
 

she spread herself wide open to let the insects in
she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
she has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
seeds from a thousand others drip down from within

oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
I am so impure

get it

devils speak of the ways in which she'll manifest
angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
I now know the depths I reach are limitless

oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
I am so impure

Brian Eno - Spider and I

(Before and After Science, 1977: tra neanche due settimane questo disco compie 40 anni!)

 

"Spider and I

Sit watching the sky

On our world without sound

We knit a web

To catch one tiny fly

For our world without sound

 

We sleep in the mornings

We dream of a ship that sails away

A thousand miles away

 

We sleep in the mornings

We dream of a ship that sails away

A thousand miles away"

Five seconds of decision
To realize your purpose here on Earth
Five minutes of careful thought
To achieve maximum effort
We have no faith in the summer of love
Worship the sun and it rains
Were tipping sideways, sideways
Hand in hand, head in my knees
I'm cruising the slums with my sister and brother
I'll follow them anywhere
All of the time looking over my shoulder
Biting my tongue as we turn the next corner
The flowers that we wear
Have shit on their petals
The blood on the screen
Spells my name
Joyride joyride Burning X
Joyride joyride Burning X
Joyride joyride Burning X
This time, this time, this time

[Snoopa]

Mi sembra che non l'abbia messa nessuno.

Banco del mutuo soccorso - 750.000 anni fa...l'amore?

Già l'acqua inghiotte il sole
ti danza il seno mentre corri a valle
con il tuo branco ai pozzi
le labbra secche vieni a dissetare
Corpo steso dai larghi fianchi
nell'ombra sto, sto qui a vederti
possederti, si possederti... possederti...

Ed io tengo il respiro
se mi vedessi fuggiresti via
e pianto l'unghie in terra
l'argilla rossa mi nasconde il viso
ma vorrei per un momento stringerti a me
qui sul mio petto
ma non posso fuggiresti fuggiresti via da me
io non posso possederti possederti
io non posso fuggiresti
possederti io non posso...
Anche per una volta sola.

Se fossi mia davvero
di gocce d'acqua vestirei il tuo seno
poi sotto i piedi tuoi
veli di vento e foglie stenderei
Corpo chiaro dai larghi fianchi
ti porterei nei verdi campi e danzerei
sotto la luna danzerei con te.

Lo so la mente vuole
ma il labbro inerte non sa dire niente
si è fatto scuro il cielo
già ti allontani resta ancora a bere
mia davvero ah fosse vero
ma chi son io uno scimmione
senza ragione senza ragione senza ragione
uno scimmione fuggiresti fuggiresti
uno scimmione uno scimmione senza ragione

Devastante!

[PDeVo]

No one is invincible, no one is immortal, these are the rules.
Fireworks have scared me shitless for three years now
Easier to blame it on neuroses than admit that everything loud and sudden scares me
But I found out that I still love the sight of them
When the light of the setting September sun came through the leaves
In scattered shards I was driving down the highway with my secrets
No one is invincible, no one is immortal
This time of year reminds me of mitch
At noon in the shade there's still dew on the grass
The leaves are trying on the coats they'll wear to their funerals
And without knowing it, as if it is coded into me
I start to listen to 'people without end'
The ways in which one leaves a place
And the way a ghost becomes a part of you
And some days this reminds me more of Kyle than anything else
And the times we spent wishing for the past
I think I'm through with that now
I've got holes in me big enough
That sometimes I can barely stay afloat
But I'm starting to find that nothingness
Has the potential to be filled with anything that our minds can imagine.
Everyone here's story has been everyone here's story since the big bang
And no I'm not talking about your parents fucking,
Or even their parents' parents' parents' fucking
I'm talking about that fact that the things inside of you,
The ones that matter, cannot be created or destroyed anymore
Not since this universe started and not until it fuckin ends.
That's how long we're going to live.
So when my body chooses to become something more
Burn it, let the liquid in me dry up
Let it crack like the leaves coating the driveway of the house I grew up in
Divide me among the people I've love and ask them this:
On the day they find a place where stars are safe from everything but the brightness of the moon
Scatter my ashes there so that from which I came can witness that which I've become.
No one is invincible, everyone is immortal.
No one is invincible, everyone is immortal.

Siouxsie & The Banshees - The Ghost In You

(Siouxsie / The Banshees)

 

You awoke in a burning paper house
From the infinite fields of dreamless sleep
You return to Tiannammen
An eyewitness in a shroud
To see them fall, feel them yield
Reliving the terror of the crowd

 

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Just for a moment I seemed to know
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you

 

The whisper of your scream
Sighed through the air
And faith the flag is torn and frayed
Infernal heat, glory in flame
Love was beaten and betrayed

 

In every step I hear your sobbing
Dare I break the shade with one caress
Dare I trespass to lift the veil
To touch the lips so soft and frail

 

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you

 

Your captive heart's
The belief you share
With a kiss eternal
Spirits of the square

 

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Hope remains with the ghost in you
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you

 

Don't let it blow
The ghost in you
The ghost in you

[simon]

Oh, it's a strange day, in such a lonely way
I saw some children dance, I watched my life in a trance
And the people around me seemed so glad to be here
Will my time pass so slowly on the day that I fear?

 

And the noise that surrounds me

Pulls so loud in my head
From the promise that healed us
To the lies that I said
Oh, it's a strange day
In such a lonely way
Some people look down on me
I know they like what they see

Strange day
Such a strange day
Such a strange day

Noir Désir - Le Grand Incendie

 

 

Ca y est, le grand incendie
Y'a l'feu partout, emergency
Babylone, Paris s'écroulent
New-York City, Iroquois qui déboulent
Mainteant... Allez

London, Delhi, Dallas dans l'show
Hommage à l'art pompier
T'entends les sirènes, elles...
Sortent la grande échelle
Vas-y... Go!

Hommage à l'art tectonique
Un techno-picnic sur la terre eventrée
Mais la faille est creusée, atomisée
Claudia Schiffer dit qu'elle a même pas peur
Et tout le monde aupplaudit à la télé
Ressaisis-toi, ressaisis-toi
Faut courir maintenant, elle, elle est dans un bunker
Y'a plus de programme, y'a même plus d'heure
A vous l'antenne

C'est l'incendie, le grand incendie

C'est le raz-de-marée  Les rats peuvent plus se marrer
S'enfuir s'cacher  Dans une planque s'enterrer
La marge est infime  Au bord de l'abîme
Implosion, explosion, mort aux cons riment
Carpules, salauds  Bourgeois, blaireux
Chacun pour soi, ça détale dès qu'on a eu le déclic
Wanadoo   Do wap a doo
I wanna, I wanna, wanna go with you
Trop tard, petit, petit malin
Indemnités c'est peanuts t'auras rien
Cours ! Cours ! Cours ! Cours !
No limit à la fuite
Accélère

Accélère, c'est pas le moment
Tu crois toujours que tu peux t'arrêter
Te jeter dans un coin te coucher
Oublier la cadence

[Welsh Wizard]

 

Je suis contre les chastetés
Toutes celles que glissent sous l'oreiller
Des cupidons aux lèvres abîmées
Sur le sexe les jambes repliées
Je suis contre les chastetés
Ces refus à bouche fermée
Qui font du corps beau un corps habillé
Et sonne le glas des frivolités car

 

Ce gamin là
Me montre tout
Et pointe du doigt
La non-beauté
Des nudités
Pour m'initier
Dans un sourire
A la chaleur humaine
 

Je suis contre les chastetés

Etouffantes fraternités
Pleurs de glace sur ce qui peut brûler
Pour le remords la mort suravalée
Je suis contre les chastetés
Ce qui se caresse est cicatrisé
Je saigne en remerciant de saigner
L'oeil immense sur son silence déposé car
 

Ce gamin là
Me montre tout
Et pointe du doigt
La non-beauté
Des nudités
Pour m'initier
Dans un sourire
A la chaleur humaine

[Bericman]

SPARKS - MISSIONARY POSITION

 

It’s a little retro and a bit passé

But you know you make her feel A-OK

And she feels alright, the stars are bright, the missionary position

 

And the acrobats, well they tend to scoff

All you know is that you can get her off
And you feel alright, the stars are bright, the missionary position

 

The tried and true is good enough for me and you
For me and you
The tried and true is good enough
Don’t need anymore, we don’t need anymore

 

A rebranding effort might just be the thing
But a name’s a name and we’re continuing
Always feeling fine, it ain’t the wine, it’s the missionary position

 

There are pros and cons to each different pose
But we don’t see any need to get to those
‘cause we’re feeling great, a heightened state, the missionary position

 

The tried and true is good enough for me and you
For me and you
The tried and true is good enough
Don’t need anymore, we don’t need anymore
Don’t need anymore, we don’t need anymore

 

You might have positions you can recommend
But I don’t know if we’ll ever get to them
‘cause we feel alright, the stars are bright, the missionary position

You might pride yourself, you’re so Avant garde
But we're neoclassicists, I guess, at heart
Patronise all you like, we both like the missionary position

 

Missionary, missionary, missionary, missionary…

 

It’s a private matter as to frequency
But we both are smiling as you well can see
And it ain’t no joke, it ain’t baroque, it’s the missionary position

 

It’s a little retro and a bit passé
But you know you'll make her feel A-OK
And she feels alright, the stars are bright, the missionary position

Drive boy, dog boy, dirty, numb angel boy

In the doorway boy, she was a lipstick boy

She was a beautiful boy and tears boy

And all in your inner space boy

You had hands girl boy and steel boy

You had chemicals boy, I've grown so close to you

Boy and you just groan boy

She said, "Come over, come over", she smiled at you boy

 

Drive boy, dog boy, dirty, numb angel boy

In the doorway boy, she was a lipstick boy

She was a beautiful boy and tears boy

And all in your inner space boy

You had chemicals boy and steel boy

You had chemicals boy, I've grown so close to you

Boy and you just groan boy

She said, "Come over, come over", she smiled at you boy

 

 

Let your feelings lift, boy, but never your mask boy

Random blonde boy, high density

Random blonde boy, blonde country

Blonde high density

 

You are my drug boy, you're real boy

Speak to me and boy, dog dirty numb cracking boy

You get wet boy, big, big time boy, acid bear boy

And babes and babes and babes and babes and babes

 

And remembering nothing boy, when you like my tin horn boy

And get wet like an angel, derail

 

You got a velvet mouth, you're so succulent

And beautiful shimmering and dirty wonderful

And hot times on your telephone line

You got to never land on your telephone and in walks an angel

 

And look at me, your mum squatting pissed in a tube hole

At Tottenham Court Road

I just come out of The Ship

Talking to the most blonde I ever met

 

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager"

 

Shouting "Mega, mega white thing, mega, mega

White thing, mega, mega white thing, mega, mega"

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager

Mega, mega white thing, mega, mega white thing"

 

So many things to see and do in the tube hole true blonde

Going back to Romford, mega, mega, mega

Going back to Romford, hi mum, are you having fun?

And now are you on your way to a new tension and headache?

 

vabbe' dai, la riconoscete.

 

l'angolo sapevatelo: born slippy era il nome di un cane da corsa che gli aveva fatto vincere dei dindini.

[Folagra]

 

Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you
Won't you tell your dad, get off my back
Tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black'
Rock 'n Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, well, let me know
If it's no, well, I can go
I won't make you

Thirtheen, la più bella canzone adolescenziale di tutti i tempi. Alex Chilton, classe 1950, scrisse la musica in venti minuti. Giro acustico, basso leggero, coro a sfumare (uno di quei cori alla 10cc, che t'ammazzano di nostalgia «soft»)
"Potrei accompagnarti a casa dopo la scuola? Possiamo vederci in piscina? Forse venerdì avrò dei biglietti per andare a ballare, ti ci porterò". Detta così, rivela tutta la potenza cristallina del banale (quel "won't you let me...") ma anche la dolcezza infinita di un'età che spesso è vampiresca. E se lei dice no? E se qualcosa andasse storto mentre lui la accompagna a casa?

Medicated misery takes you for every breath

Oh she means well

Tearing up the pieces that you left

Every suffocation

Every measure that your heart goes there

Your heart goes there

Waiting by the stairs

 

Oh it's a fine line

And I use it for the rescues that I head

Picture perfect lives

I used to be one of them

Every suffocation

Every measure that your heart goes there

 

And I gave

All I have

And I need

All I have

And I follow her

Everywhere she goes

Moves me up into the stairs

 

Come on move off

Woman take this lie

When your line was mine

Your number comes and you want to be one

You want to be one

You want to be one

Take your stare at the back of the line

And repeat my line

Can you help to repeat my line

Help me to repeat my line

 

Well I walk these halls it's in mind

I walk these walls it's in mind

And every measure that you steal

Every measure that is real

You and me in our cold defenses

 

Opened up and it's misdirected

Every word it brought us to this

Every word brought us to this

Over you and over me

Suffering is how we'll be

Miracle of intervention

Over you and over me

Suffereing is how we'll be

And it's suffering suffering suffering

Clear the lines

Get back of the line

 

For Love Not Lisa - Travis Hoffman

[Folagra]

 

Hi hello wake from thy sleep
God has given your soul to keep
All of the power that burns in the flame
Ignites the light in a single name

Frederick name of care
Fast asleep in a room somewhere
Guardian angels [line a bed]
Shed their light on my sleepy head

I am a threshold yearning to sing
Down with the the dancers having one last fling
Here's to the moment when you said hello
Come on my spirit are you ready let's go

Hi hi hey hey
Maybe I will come back some day now
But tonight on the wings of a dove
Up above to the land of love

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Kiss to kiss breath to breath
My soul surrenders astonished to death

Night of wonder for us to keep
Set our sails channel [out] deep
After the rapture two hearts meet
Mine entwined in a single beat

Frederick you're the one
As we journey from sun to sun
All the dreams I waited so long for
Fly tonight so long so long

Bye bye hey hey
Maybe we will come back some day now
But tonight on the wings of a dove
Up above to the land of love

Frederick name of care
High above in sky that's clear
All the things I've been dreamin' of
Are expressed in this name of love

[lelebi]

The MIssion - Wake

 

The tried and the trusted talk of plans
Master, past and present
Heartless wordplay, and dreams of revenge
Living on the edge, the razor edge, living on the razor edge

One day we'll look back at this
And laugh and laugh and we'll die laughing
One day we'll look back at this and laugh

Pillar of wisdom and soul of iron
Alone, in the crumbling tower of power

All your friends are dead and buried, they died laughing
All your friends are dead and buried
My heart would bleed for you if I wasn't a victim
My heart should bleed for you

Circumstance, eternal, forever
For the love of god, it's a crying shame
For the love of god

Treasure the moments touched with joy
But the remember the moments, tarnished and stained
For you, sunshine, for you
It's a taste of your own medicine
God's own medicine for you
Wake, wake for you
Wake for you
Wake, wake for you my precious
Wake for you
