subsonica - l´odore
È stato un solco tracciato all’improvviso senza certezze,
senza prudenza
nell’ annusarci d’istinto e di stupore,
in un crescendo che ha dell’ irregolare.
Forse l’attesa ci ha visto troppo soli,
forse nel mondo non sapevamo stare
così distanti ad aspettarci ancora.
Così prudenti, così distanti, così prudenti.
Sei il suono, le parole
di ogni certezza persa dentro il tuo odore.
Siamo gli ostaggi di un amore
che esplode ruvido di istinto e sudore.
È stato un lampo esploso in un secondo
a illuminarti in un riflesso,
quando temevi tutta la luce intera,
l’iridescenza della tristezza.
Probabilmente lasciandomi cadere
a peso morto al tuo cospetto
avrei sicuramente permesso la visuale
sulle mie alienazioni, sui miei tormenti, sui miei frammenti.
Ma voglio che tu
tu piano piano scivoli dentro me,
ma voglio che poi
nell’insinuarti sia incantevole.
Ma voglio che tu
tu piano piano faccia strage di me
in un incerto compromesso
tra la mia anima e il suo riflesso.
Sei il suono, le parole
di ogni certezza persa dentro il tuo odore.
Siamo gli ostaggi di un amore
che esplode fragile
di istinto e sudore.
Quanti graffi da accarezzare
per tutti i cieli che possiamo tracciare,
tutte le reti del tuo odore
dentro gli oceani che dobbiamo affrontare.
Ma voglio che tu
tu piano piano scivoli dentro me,
ma voglio che tu
nell’insinuarti sia incantevole.
Ma voglio che tu
tu piano piano scivoli dentro me,
ma voglio che tu
nell’insinuarti tu sia incantevole.
Ma voglio...

Hallelujah-versione di Jeff Buckley.
I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this :
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Well, maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon - come armageddon!
Come, armageddon - come!
Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey
Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard :
"How I Dearly Wish I Was Not Here"
In the seaside town
...That they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come - nuclear bomb
Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey
Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands
And on your face...
On your face ...On your face ...
On your face ...
Everyday is like Sunday
"Win Yourself A Cheap Tray"
Share some greased tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey.
Every Day Is Like Sunday - Morrissey

De do do do, de da da da - The Police
Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one's jamming their transmission
And when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

Figurative Theatre - Christian Death
In the shallow holes
of a thousand eyes
in the knee-deep graves
of future survivors
The fleshless guests live off
children of the past
Their aging fingers cast the
Shadow of Death
Their razor sharp tongues
invite to relax
as they slip the skin of your
eyelids back
invasive spectators
get into the act
with roses and candles
silver knives and spoons
persona read women dance with
priests on a side road
your vision perspectives are
turning to stone
cabaret slide show starts
shooting their loads
Act one is the end, the show
now begins
Breath ballet prancers spin on
Porcelain backbone
a child's muddled cry turns into
hilarity
ungracious freeloaders leave their
dead on a doorstep
Flowers of doom bloom in prosperity
luxuries of past days are
luxuries of our days
luxuries of past days
luxuries of our days

Allunati
Chiama Di Notte
Arrivi e sali dentro me
Sei pioggia che non passa mai
Le gocce cadono sul cuore
Ma è vuota casa mia
Perché, non so, il perché
L'amore passa e non saluta mai
E vedo il tuo sorriso ma ora è pioggia
Che bagna il nostro addio
Tu chiama di notte quando vuoi
Perché non sei mai andata via
Per sempre in me scivolerai
Da quella stella che ho scelto per noi
Tu chiama di notte quando vuoi
Io sono qui davanti a me
Senza speranze senza un perché
Sono una voce che parla di te
Ma si, lo so, è così,
La notte ha il vizio della fantasia
Ed io ci casco come non sapessi
Che il tempo ci scolorerà
Mi manchi, Dio se mi manchi,
mi mancherai
Tu chiama di notte quando vuoi
Perché non sei mai andata via
Per sempre in me scivolerai
Da quella stella che ho scelto per noi
Ricorda almeno quante volte hai sorriso
Ricorda almeno che la notte ci ha visti
Distesi e stanchi in una stanza
che era un mare infinito
Chiamami di notte fallo questa notte
Per sempre in me scivolerai
Da quella stella che ho scelto per noi.

Fish - Vigil
Listen to me
Just hear me out
If I could have your attention
Just quieten down for a voice in the crowd
I get so confused and I don’t understand
I know you feel the same way you’ve always wanted to say
But you don’t get the chance
Just a voice in the crowd
I don’t know the score anymore
It’s not clear anymore
I can’t tell right from wrong anymore
I just don’t understand
I was sitting here thinking of exchanging a new world for old
Like changing the channels on tv
Or the dirt that we stand in to gold
When I was young
My father told me just bad guys die
At the time just a little white lie
It was one of the first but it hurt me the most
And the truth stung like tears in my eyes
That even the good guys must die
There’s no reasoning no crimes and I never knew why
Even now it still makes me cry
If there’s somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
Just a little helping hand, just a little understanding
Just some answers to the questions that surround me now
If there’s somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right
Just some answers to the questions that I’m asking you
I keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
Where nothing here is ever what it seems
You stand so close but you never understand it
For all that we see is not all that it seems, am I blind?
And you sit there and talk revolution
But can you tell me just who’s in command?
When you tell me the forces we’re fighting
Then I’ll join you and gladly make plans
But for now only our t-shirts cry freedom
And our voices are gagged by our greed
Our minds are harnessed by knowledge
By the hill and the will to succeed
And if that’s not what you believe
Would you just let me know
I’m not standing alone
That I’m not just a voice in the crowd
If there’s somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
Just a little helping hand, just a little understanding
Just some answers to the questions that I’m asking you
If there’s somebody up there, just throw me down a line
Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right
Just some answers to the questions that I’m asking you
I’ll keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
Where nothing is exactly how it seems
You’re reaching out, you’re so close you can touch it
But it all disappears when it’s always so near
But one day we will find that we stand in the light
Until then I’ll keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
Nothing here is ever what it seems
I’m scared to shout in case I draw attention from the powers
That preside over our minds and our lives
When they find what I want is the deadliest weapon, that is truth
Day by day it’s getting louder
And day by day it’s getting stronger
But when I can’t scream no more and I need reassurance,
I listen to the crowd
And the boy stood and stared at the hill
And the hill - it stared back

Sunday Morning - Velevt Underground
Sunday morning, praise the dawning
It's just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call It's nothing at all
Sunday morning and I'm falling
I've got a feeling I don't want to know
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call It's nothing at all
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call It's nothing at all
Sunday morning

Drupi -Un Uomo In Più
Io sono nato insieme a lei
ho visto il mondo insieme a lei
e da qual giorno la mia vita mi appartiene
io non la conoscevo ma
a star con lei mi abituai
senza saperlo cominciai a volerle bene
non so perché lei ha scelto me
ma quando ha aperto gli occhi miei
scoprimmo insieme il sole che ci sorrideva
e il mondo aveva, un uomo in più.
Lei ha cullato i sogni miei
ha mosso i primi passi miei
e abbiamo fatto tutti e due la stessa strada
a volte litighiamo un po'
ma non mi dice mai di no
lei non sa dirmi mai di no
comunque vada
e quanti errori ho fatto che
ha poi diviso insieme a me
ma so che in fondo
io non mi arrendo
perché nel mondo
c'è un uomo in più
che sa lottare
fin quando avrà
la forza di amare
e tu non puoi andare via
perché somigli troppo
a questa vita mia.
E la mia barca è in avaria
in qualche porto aggiusterò
perché ogni giorno alzo le vele alla mia vita
e il mio coraggio sarà lei
la mia ricchezza sarà lei
la mia speranza per non dire che è finita
e piangerà se piangerò
e riderà se riderò
e sa che in fondo
io non mi arrendo
perché nel mondo
c'è un uomo in più...
anche se tu puoi farmi male
sei come la mia vita e non ti lascio andare
se c'è un segreto che fa il mondo
e non lo fa cadere giù
perché noi tutti siamo in fonso
un uomo in più

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
I know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
From me and you
There're worlds to part
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the prayers your hands can make
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh I throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round
Yesterday
I stood and stared
Wide-eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back
The way I wanted to
But I just can't hold my tears away
The way you do
Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out...
So Elise
It doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this
And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through my clutching hands
But there's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else
I can really do
At all...

Charlotte sometimes - The Cure
All the faces
All the voices blur
Change to one face
Change to one voice
Prepare yourself for bed
The light seems bright
And glares on white walls
All the sounds of charlotte sometimes
Into the night
With charlotte sometimes
Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away
But charlotte sometimes did not cry
The people seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
The people seemed so close
So close
So many
Other names
Sometimes i'm dreaming
Where all the other people dance
Sometimes i'm dreaming
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes i'm dreaming
Expressionless the trance
Sometimes i'm dreaming
So many different names
Sometimes i'm dreaming
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes i'm dreaming
She hopes to open shadowed eyes
On a different world
Come to me
Scared princess
Charlotte sometimes
On that bleak track
(See the sun is gone again)
The tears were pouring down her face
She was crying and crying for a girl
Who died so many years before...
Sometimes i dream
Where all the people dance
Sometimes i dream
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes i dream
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes i'm dreaming
There are so many different names
Sometimes i dream
Sometimes i dream...
Charlotte sometimes crying for herself
Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself
But it's always with love
With so much love it looks like
Everything else
Of charlotte sometimes
So far away
Glass sealed and pretty
Charlotte sometimes

Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again...

The funeral party - The Cure
Two pale figures
Ache in silence
Timeless
In the quiet ground
Side by side
In age and sadness
I watched
And acted wordlessly
As piece by piece
You performed your story
Moving through an unknown past
Dancing at the funeral party
Memories of childrens dreams
Lie lifeless
Fading
Lifeless
Hand in hand with fear and shadows
Crying at the funeral party
I heard a song
And turned away
As piece by piece
You performed your story
Noiselessly across the floor
Dancing at the funeral party

Anche Tu
E così mi tengo stretta la speranza sai... di te
di te e brucio il desiderio acceso che io non ho perduto mai
che non mi abbandona mai mai... proprio mai
e così invento un vento che mi porti ancora lì
per raccontarti quello che sai già
di com'eravamo noi
dirti sempre che sei mio... se lo vuoi.
Anche tu
che vivi solo come me
anche tu
cuore ferito più di me
lascia che sia
quello che piano cresce in noi
in questo attimo che è
forse per noi l'eternità.
Poi così in questa notte magica
che è in noi... in noi
ritrovo quella mia felicità
tra le voglie dei miei sì
nei sorrisi dei tuoi sì... solo noi.
Anche tu raccogli questa anima mia
anche tu respiri il mondo come me
lascia che sia
un grande amore e niente più
in questo attimo che è
interminabile poesia
in un abbraccio che sarà
la nostra sola eternità...
Ma ora lascia che sia
un grande amore e niente più
in questa splendida follia
in volo nell'immensità

Boom
Walking through your streets, where all your moneys are made.
Where all your buildings are crying.
Foolishment is working.
Evolving fake on houses, housing all your fears.
Sensitized by T.V.
Overbearing advertising,
God of conspiracy, with all your crooked pictures looking good.
Terror is building information for the public eye.
His eye to come forth.
Your next, more to come.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Everytime you drop the bomb you kill the God your child has born.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Modern globalization.
Crumpled with condemned nations, unnecessary death.
Mad at the corporations confronting your frustrations with a blinding flag.
Manufacturing concept is the name of the game.
The bottom line is money, nobody gives a fuck.
4,000 hungry children leave us with hours of starvation,
while millions are spent on bombs, creating death showers.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Everytime you drop the bomb you kill the God your child has born.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Why must we kill our own child.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Everytime you drop the bomb you kill the God your child has born.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Everytime you drop the bomb
