Dentro le canzoni: quella frase che sento mia adesso

[Agony]

Non ti sei accorto ancora che siamo
più attraenti delle metafore?
(La mediocrità ti consolida e gli ipocriti sostengono l'opera)

E' un abbaglio stomachevole
che non ci fa sorridere
No, non ci fa sorridere.

Non ti sei accorto ancora che siamo
più veraci delle retoriche?
(Freschi come aurora di marmo risplenderemo sulle tue reliquie)

E' un orgoglio miserevole ignorare l'innegabile
e non ci fa sorridere
No non ci fa sorridere.

Un giorno, presto, capirai
piegato all'evidenza di ogni verità
e ci farai sorridere e ti farai deridere

Aurora - Marlene

[Agony]

I. Brief Encounter

A spider wanders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadow
Not the regal creature of border caves
But the poor, misguided, directionless familiar
Of some obscure Scottish poet

The mist crawls from the canal
Like some primordial phantom of romance
To curl, under a cascade of neon pollen
While I sit tied to the phone like an expectant father
Your carnation will rot in a vase.

II. Lost Weekend

A train sleeps in a siding
The driver guzzles another can of lager
To wash away the memories of a Friday night down at the club

She was a wallflower at sixteen
She'll be a wallflower at thirty four
Her mother called her beautiful
Her daddy said, "A whore".

III. Blue Angel

The sky was Bible black in Lyon
When I met the Magdalene
She was paralysed in a streetlight
She refused to give her name

And a ring of violet bruises
They were pinned upon her arm.
Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand
To a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears
And from glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear
"'J'entend ton coeur"
I can hear your heart

IV. Misplaced Rendezvous

It's getting late, for scribbling and scratching on the paper
Something's gonna give under this pressure
And the cracks are already beginning to show
It's too late
The weekend career girl never boarded the plane
They said this could never happen again
So wrong, so wrong

This time it seems to be another misplaced rendezvous
This time, it's looking like another misplaced rendezvous
With you
The parallel of you, you

V. Windswept Thumb

On the outskirts of nowhere
On the ringroad to somewhere
On the verge of indecision
I'll always take the roundabout way
Waiting on the rain
For I was born with a habit, from a sign
The habit of a windswept thumb
And the sign of the rain
It's started raining


Bitter Suite - Marillion

[Agony]

I. Vocal Under A Bloodlight

Last night you said I was cold, untouchable
A lonely piece of action from another town
I just want to be free, I'm happy to be lonely
Can't you stay away?
Just leave me alone with my thoughts
Just a runaway, just a runaway
I'm saving myself

II. Passing Strangers

Strung out below a necklace of carnival lights
Cold moan, held on the crest of the night
I'm too tired to fight.

So now we're passing strangers, at single tables
Still trying to get over
Still trying to write love songs for passing strangers
All those passing strangers
And the twinkling lies, all those twinkling lies
Sparkle with the wet ink on the paper

III. Mylo

Oh I remember Toronto when Mylo went down
And we sat and cried on the phone
I never felt so alone
He was the first of our own
Some of us go down in a blaze of obscurity
Some of us go down in a haze of publicity
The price of infamy, the edge of insanity

Another Holiday Inn, another temporary home
And an interviewer threatened me with a microphone
'Talk to me, won't you tell me your stories."

So I talked about conscience and I talked about pain
And he looked out the window and it started to rain
I thought maybe I've already gone crazy
So I reached for a bottle and he reached for the door
And I picked up the sleeping pills crushed on the floor
Inviting me to a casual obscenity.

IV. Perimeter Walk

It would be incredible if we could
Retrace all the times that we lived here
All the collisions
Wasted, I've never been so wasted
I've never been this far out before

Perimeter walk
There's a presence here
I feel could have been ancient,
I could have been mystical

There's a presence
A child, my child
My childhood, a misplaced childhood
Give it back to me, give it back to me
A childhood, that childhood
Oh please give it back to me.

V. Threshold

I saw a war widow in a launderette
Washing the memories from her husband's clothes
She had medals pinned to a threadbare greatcoat
A lump in her throat with cemetery eyes

I see convoys curbcrawling West German Autobahns
Trying to pick up a war
They're going to even the score
Oh... I can't take any more
I see black flags on factories
Soup ladies poised on the lips of the poor
I see children with vacant stares, destined for rape in the alleyways
Does anybody care, I can't take any more!
Should we say goodbye?

I see priests, politicians?
Heroes in black plastic body-bags under nations' flags
I see children pleading with outstretched hands
Drenched in napalm, this is no Vietnam

I can't take any more, should we say goodbye
How can we justify?
They call us civilised!

Blind Curve - Marillion

[ghiretto]

Just a perfect day
drink Sangria in the park
And then later
when it gets dark, we go home

_

Just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
Then later
a movie, too, and then home

_

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spend it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

_

Just a perfect day
problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
it's such fun

_

Just a perfect day
you made me forget myself
I thought I was
someone else, someone good

_

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

_

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

_

[claudina]

non ce posso credere ghiretto!!
bella sta cosa sto ascoltando questa canzone...l'avevo postata in musica e emozioni ....

[castagna]

What a brave, brave girl
Never lied before
Such a plain deceit
Everyone would eventually know

What a brave, brave girl
Never loved before
Placed herself in reach

So he tried
In his own way
To find the heart
Of the tight-packed rose

She's gone now
But oh, she aches
She aches

He will search until he's found
A way to take the days

See her sadness in your face
She's inside you
And she's crying


Brave - Marillion

[mircalla]

I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the Whirl

Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love is a two way dream

Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one way street

I'm a whisper in water
Secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

Leave me now, return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder hand
I'm the branch that you break
Hum-yeah!
** Icelandic part **

Bachelorette - Bjork

[darcylia]

Vivere con me è difficile
mi sveglio sempre troppo tardi e poi
ho il frigo vuoto di immagini
disegni, storie e provo a evadere
senti, non mi fare piangere dai
che si scivola

Vivere con te non è facile,
ti muovi sempre troppo piano e poi
il dentifricio è finito già
la lavatrice uccide le t-schirt
senti, non restiamo a piangere dai,
che si scivola

Vorrei averti qui con me
ma senza stringere
vicini come 2 satelliti

Vivere così è impossibile
qui dentro piove, è sempre umido
e poi la porta ha un sogno che cigola
bicchieri rotti d un megafono
senti, non mi fare piangere dai,
che si scivola

Vorrei averti qui con me
ma senza stringere
vicini come 2 satelliti

Vorrei averti qui con me
ma senza stringere
vicini come 2 satelliti

Forse perchè ho visto troppi telefilm
e poi pretendo
che la mia vita sia così
succede anche a te

Forse perchè ho visto troppi telefilm
Forse perchè ho visto troppi telefilm
succede anche a te

Forse perchè ho visto troppi telefilm
Forse perchè ho visto troppi telefilm

(Mao e la Rivoluzione - "Satelliti")

[mircalla]

All these accidents,
That happen,
Follow the dot,
Coincidence,
Makes sense,
Only with you,
You don't have to speak,
I feel.

Emotional landscapes,
They puzzle me,
Then the riddle gets solved,
And you push me up to this

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
Is where I want to be.

All that no-one sees,
You see,
What's inside of me,
Every nerve that hurts,
You heal,
Deep inside of me, oo-oohh,
You don't have to speak,
I feel.

Emotional landscapes,
They puzzle me - confuse,
Then the riddle gets solved,
And you push me up to this

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
Is where I want to be.

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,

Emotional landscapes,
They puzzle me,
Then the riddle gets solved,
And you push me up to this

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
Is where I want to be.

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
State of, state of,
How beautiful,
Emergency,
Is where I want to be.

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
Is where I want to be.

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be.

" La Donna Cannone "
by Francesco DeGregori
Buttero` questo mio enorme cuore tra le stelle un giorno
giuro che lo faro`
e oltre l'azzurro della tenda nell'azzurro io volero`
Quando la donna cannone d'oro
e d'argento diventera`
senza passare per la stazione
l'ultimo treno prendera`.

In faccia ai maligni e ai superbi il mio nome scintillera`
dalle porte della notte
il giorno si blocchera`
un applauso del pubblico pagante lo sottolineera`
e dalla bocca del cannone una canzone suonera`.

E con le mani amore per le mani ti prendero`
e senza dire parole nel mio cuore ti portero`.
E non avro` paura
se non saro` bella come vuoi tu
ma voleremo in cielo in carne e ossa non torneremo piu`.
E senza fame senza sete e senza ali senza rete voleremo via.

Cosi la donna cannone
quell'enorme mistero volo`
sola verso un cielo nero nero s'incammino`.
Tutti chiusero gli occhi nell'attimo esatto in cui spari`
altri giurarono e spergiurarono che non erano mai stati li`.

E con le mani amore con le mani ti prendero`
e senza dire parole nel mio cuore ti portero`.
E non avro` paura se non saro` bella come dici tu
ma voleremo in cielo in carne e ossa non torneremo piu`.
E senza fame senza sete e senza aria senza rete voleremo via.

[Rebeccap]

Tu come stai...
è successo cosa non so tu lo dirai
fino a ieri andava tutto bene come mai?
dimmi cosa credi tu non sai
dimmi cosa credi tu non vuoi
dimmi che sei sempre tu chi sei
dimmi adesso se ti va

è passato un pò troppo di tempo
come stai
troppo tempo che non sei quella che sai che vuoi
forse c'è qualche cosa che non va
(dimmi cosa credi tu...)
forse non sai più che conta
(che sei sempre tu)
quella che dice quello che pensa sempre
quella che sa guardare nel fondo della gente
(o parli chiaro o ti arrendi...
dimmi cosa resterà...quello che senti?)
o ti confessi o ti tieni tutto dentro
(dimmi adesso se ti va di perdere tempo)

rit:
ma tu tu ma tu tu tu come stai
è successo cosa non so tu lo dirai
fino a ieri andava tutto bene come mai
dimmi cosa credi tu non sai
dimmi cosa credi tu non vuoi
dimmi che sei sempre tu chi sei
dimmi adesso se ti va

che succede se ti chiamo non rispondi
no, no, non vuoi uscire da giorni...
se ti guardo ti volti
tu che se hai un problema lo risolvi
(che si fa?)
ora tu mi parli

dei tuoi sentimenti spenti
tutti quei momenti che fino a ieri mi sembravano presenti)
(oh oh)
o cerchi l'occasione dove questa situazione trovi conclusione
(c'ho pensato pure troppo)
dimmi allora che è così
(dimmi che c'è sotto)
ah ah...hai provato a parlare lo stesso
(dimmi che non mi vuoi più)
dimmelo tu adesso

rit:
ma tu tu ma tu tu tu come stai
è successo cosa non so tu lo dirai
fino a ieri andava tutto bene come mai
dimmi cosa credi tu non sai
dimmi cosa credi tu non vuoi
dimmi che sei sempre tu chi sei
dimmi adesso se ti va

tutto è troppo semplice
se non sai distinguere
parlano dei tuoi silenzi
dicono quello che pensi
contano di più
più di mille chiarimenti

ma se un giorno tu trovassi le parole
forse quel giorno capirò le tue paure
ma adesso non riesco a non lasciarti
(forse sto buttando tutto
non senza rimpianti)

(ma se)
un giorno tu trovassi le parole
forse quel giorno capirò le tue paure
ma adesso non riesco a non lasciarti
forse sto buttando tutto
non senza rimpianti

(ma se)
un giorno tu trovassi le parole
forse quel giorno capirò le tue paure
ma adesso non riesco a non lasciarti
forse sto buttando tutto
non senza rimpianti

cosa credi tu lo sai
dimmi cosa credi tu non vuoi
dimmi che sei sempre tu chi sei
dimmi adesso se ti va

[Agony]

Oh Little girl
don't go away
just come to bed
and there we'll stay,

oh little girl, lie close to me
just close your eyes
what do you see?

Black Cat
entrance me,
devour me

The storm outside is raging still
there's no escape,
the one that kills

oh little girl,
the time has come
we think and move
exist as one

Black Cat
entrance me,
devour me.


The Black Cat - London after Midnight

[mircalla]

Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till its stalk is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.
Forgotten while you're here
Remembered for a while
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style.

Life is but a memory
Happened long ago.
Theatre full of sadness
For a long forgotten show.
Seems so easy
Just to let it go on by
Till you stop and wonder
Why you never wondered why.

Safe in the womb
Of an everlasting night
You find the darkness can
Give the brightest light.
Safe in your place deep in the earth
That's when they'll know what you were really worth.
Forgotten while you're here
Remembered for a while
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style.

Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till its stalk is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.

Fruit tree, fruit tree
No-one knows you but the rain and the air.
Don't you worry
They'll stand and stare when you're gone.

Fruit tree, fruit tree
Open your eyes to another year.
They'll all know
That you were here when you're gone.

Bellissima....sono molto legata a questa canzone.....grazie!

[stillmad]

nel mio cuore c'è sempre"thank u"...



How 'bout getting off these antibiotics
How 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up
How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots
How 'bout that ever elusive kudo

Thank you india
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

How 'bout me not blaming you for everything
How 'bout me enjoying the moment for once
How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How 'bout grieving it all one at a time

Thank you india
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

The moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down

How 'bout no longer being masochistic
How 'bout remembering your divinity
How 'bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How 'bout not equating death with stopping

Thank you india
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence

thank u Alanis Morissette
