Colpo di testO - Ovvero la musica in parole

Francesco Guccini - Canzone Delle Domande Consuete


Ancora qui a domandarsi e a far finta di niente
come se il tempo per noi non costasse l' uguale,
come se il tempo passato ed il tempo presente
non avessero stessa amarezza di sale.

Tu non sai le domande, ma non risponderei
per non strascinare parole in linguaggio d' azzardo;
eri bella, lo so, e che bella che sei,
dicon tanto un silenzio e uno sguardo...

Se ci sono non so cosa sono e se vuoi
quel che sono o sarei, quel che sarò domani,
non parlare non dire più niente, se puoi,
lascia farlo ai tuoi occhi, alle mani...

Non andare... vai... Non restare...stai... Non parlare... parlami di te...

Tu lo sai, io lo so, quanto vanno disperse,
trascinate dai giorni come piena di fiume
tante cose sembrate e credute diverse,
come un prato coperto a bitume.

Rimanere così, annaspare nel niente,
custodire i ricordi, carezzare le età;
è uno stallo o un rifiuto crudele e incosciente
del diritto alla felicità...

Se ci sei, cosa sei? Cosa pensi e perchè?
Non lo so, non lo sai; siamo qui o lontani?
Esser tutto, un momento, ma dentro di te,
aver tutto, ma non il domani...

Non andare... vai.. Non restare...stai... Non parlare... parlami di te...

E siamo qui spogli in questa stagione che unisce
tutto ciò che sta fermo, tutto ciò che si muove,
non so dire se nasce un periodo o finisce,
se dal cielo ora piove o non piove...

Pronto a dire "buongiorno", a rispondere "bene",
a sorridere a "salve", dire anch'io "come va?"
Non c'è vento stasera. Siamo o non siamo assieme?
Fuori c'è ancora una città?

Se c'è ancora balliamoci dentro stasera,
con gli amici cantiamo una nuova canzone...
tanti anni e son qui ad aspettar primavera,
tanti anni ed ancora in pallone...

Non andare... vai... Non restare...stai... Non parlare... parlami di te...
Non andare... vai... Non restare...stai... Non parlare... parlami di noi...

Gianna Nannini - Ottava Vita


Io razzista, io fascista
stupratore di bambine
spia tiranno comunista
dittatore di regime
Io ruffiamo corruttore capo mafia
spacciatore
grande figlio di puttana
io bastardo traditore
Vita tremenda vita disperata
chi 'un l'ha provata 'un lo può immaginare
neanche all'inferno un'anima dannata
che così tanto possi tribolare
Io pentito inginocchiato
non ho palpiti nel cuore
sanguinario della pace
sotto il segno dell'amore
io cattolico ad oltranza per paura rinnegato
sono polvere di lager - urla d'uomo torturato
Vita tremenda vita disperata
chi 'un l'ha provata 'un lo può immaginare
neanche all'inferno un'anima dannata
che così tanto possi tribolare
Vita stupenda vita innamorata
Vita stupenda vita innamorata
Vita stupenda vita innamorata
Una botta in mezzo al petto
una corda che si tende
una voce dal silenzio
una mano che mi prende
ritornare ai sette cieli a carpire meraviglie
bere chiare acque di fonte
respirare nuovamente
Vita tremenda vita disperata
chi 'un l'ha provata 'un lo può immaginare
neanche all'inferno un'anima dannata
che così tanto possi tribolare
Vita stupenda vita innamorata
Vita tremenda vita disperata
Vita stupenda vita innamorata
chi 'un l'ha provata 'un lo può immaginare
neanche all'inferno un'anima dannata
che così tanto possi tribolare
Vita stupenda vita innamorata
Vita tremenda vita disperata
neanche all'inferno un'anima dannata
credo sì tanto possi tribolare

The bottom line - Depeche Mode

Like a cat
Dragged in from the rain
Who goes straight back out
To do it all over again
I'll be back for more
It's something
That is out of our hands
Something we will never understand
It's a hidden law
The apple falls
Destiny calls
I follow you

Like a pawn
On the eternal board
Who's never quite sure
What he's moved towards
I walk blindly on
And heaven is in front of me
Your heaven beckons me enticingly
When I arrive
It's gone
The river flows
The wise man knows
I follow you

I'm yearning
I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning

Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned
Each and every night
I'm dying too
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you

Litfiba - Animale Di Zona

Al confine coi miei pensieri
scivolo sull'erba dei campi
onde su onde i desideri
e sogno di averti al mio fianco
ma segno la mia zona
Son tonnellate le cose non dette fra noi
e le carezze ai cuscini
M'abbandono ai desideri
e scivola la mano sui fianchi
cerco amore coi soli pensieri
e cado nei tuoi occhi salati
Mi chiedi perché io gioco con le parole
sai come va difendo la mia zona
resto solo coi miei pensieri
Nuoto nell'erba
e passa il silenzio il mezzo a noi
son l'animale che parla da solo col vento
segno il mio confine
questo e il mio limite di animale di zona
Tu preferisci un'altra illusione alla realtà
io uso parole come coriandoli di spine
questo è il mio confine
un autolimite di animale di zona
di animale di zona...di animale di zona...

The Devlins - I Don't Wanna Be Like This


I see you're angry with the things you did
And I know you will be lost until
You find a reason that can make you see my wish

And now I'm watching as you swing your dress
And your friends may cool your own distress
But you could change it all with
Just one kiss, one kiss

'Cause I don't want to be like this... for too long

And the words are racing through my head
But they need to come from you instead
So close your eyes and think of all the things you miss

'Cause I don't want to be like this... for too long

The days are growing colder now
And I'm lost when you don't come around
But you could change it all with
Just one kiss, one kiss

'Cause I don't want to be like this... for too long

La Crus - Mentimi

Dimmi che il dolore non farà più male
dimmi che la pioggia oggi non cadrà
dimmi che qualcuno fermerà la guerra
che il conto da pagare non arriverà

mentimi mentimi mentimi
voglio un'altra bugia
voglio che sembri vera
qualunque sia
mentimi mentimi mentimi
voglio un'altra bugia
voglio un lieto fine
qualunque sia

Dimmi che lavoreremo un po' di meno
dimmi che staremo meglio di così
che non correremo dietro ad ogni treno
solo per trovarci ovunque ma non qui

mentimi mentimi mentimi…
voglio un'altra bugia
voglio che sembri vera
qualunque sia
mentimi mentimi mentimi
voglio un'altra bugia
voglio un lieto fine
qualunque sia

Dai, dimmi ancora che
il mondo è bellissimo intorno a me
col verde degli alberi
le rose che crescono
disegna le nuvole
come sai fare tu

Dimmi che il dolore
non farà più male
dimmi che la pioggia
oggi non cadrà

mentimi mentimi mentimi…
voglio un'altra bugia
voglio che sembri vera
qualunque sia
mentimi mentimi mentimi
voglio un'altra bugia
voglio un lieto fine
qualunque sia

Libera uscita
(Liga)

E non ci prendono i quarant'anni
e non ci prenderà Bill Gates
e non ci prendono coi sondaggi
che non ci prendono con noi
e non ci prendono vecchie balle
nemmeno nuove nostalgie
ci hanno promesso un grande futuro
e poi ce l'han tolto c'han detto "scusate"
e così sia

e non ci prendono sul serio
d'altronde non l'han fatto mai
siam sempre stati il pesce d'aprile
anche quando l'aspetti anche quando lo sai
e non ci prendono comodamente
nè con il loro dài e dài
nè con il loro chi tace acconsente
noi non abbiamo taciuto mai

e non ci beccano più
e non ci provano più
non se lo chiedono più
cosa facciamo qui nelle scarpe da corsa

libera uscita
in libero mondo
libera scelta di dirlo io
com'è che mi spendo...
com'è... com'è

e non ci mettono il costume
e non ci prendono l'energia
abbiamo deciso che crederci ancora
non sia una brutta malattia
e non ci cambiano il biglietto
e non ci cambiano l'idea
siam sempre stati quelli che loro dicevano
sono già andati via

e non ci beccano più
e non ci provano più
non se lo chiedono più
cosa facciamo qui nelle nostre mutande

libera uscita
in libero mondo
libera scelta di dirlo io
com'è che mi spendo
libera uscita
senza rincorsa
libera scelta di dirlo noi
cos'è che abbiam perso...

se c'è... se c'è.

Regina Spektor - Samson


You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

Bloodhound Gang - The bad touch


Sweat baby, sweat baby,
sex is a Texas drought me
and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about
so put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts
Yes I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up
You've had enough of two-hand touch you want it rough you're out of bounds
I want you smothered want you covered like my Waffle House hashbrowns
Come quicker than FedEx never reach an apex like Coca-Cola stock you are inclined
to make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time

Do it now
you and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Gettin' horny now

Love the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
like the lost catacombs of Egypt only God knows where we stuck it
hieroglyphics? Let me be Pacific I wanna be down in your South Seas
but I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means "Small Craft Advisory"
so if I capsize on your thighs high tide, be five you sunk my battleship
please turn me on I'm Mister Coffee with an automatic drip
so show me yours I'll show you mine "Tool Time" you'll Lovett just like Lyle
and then we'll do it doggy style so we can both watch "X-Files"

Do it now
you and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Gettin' horny now

You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
do it now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Gettin' horny now

The Sky is Broken - Moby

See the storm is broken
in the middle of the night
nothing left here for me
it's washed away
the rain pushes
the buildings aside
the sky turns black
the sky
wash it far
push it out to sea
there's nothing left here
for me
i watch it lift up to the sky
i watch it crush me
and then i die

Speak to me baby
in the middle of the night
pull your mouth
close to mine
i can see the wind coming down
like black night
so speak to me
like the winds outside
it's broken up, pushing us
hear the rain fall
see the wind come to my eyes
see the storm broken
now nothing
speak to me baby
in the middle of the night
speak to me
hold your mouth to mine
'cause the sky is breaking
it's deeper than love
i know the way you feel
like the rains outside
speak to me

Depeche Mode - Dream On


As your bony fingers close around me
Long and spindly
Death becomes me
Heaven can you see what I see

Hey you pale and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile

Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving

There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating

Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without it lives within you

Feel the fever coming
You're shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won't stop you itching

Can you feel a little love
Can you feel a little love

Dream on dream on

Blame it on your karmic curse
Oh shame upon the universe
It knows its lines
It's well rehearsed

It sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallow ground
Where holiness is never found

Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving

Can you feel a little love
Can you feel a little love

Dream on dream on

Can you feel a little love
Can you feel a little love

Dream on dream on
Dream on dream on

Angel - Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness
oh this glorious sadness
that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel...

You're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

A pain that I'm used to - Depeche Mode

I'm not sure
What I'm looking for anymore
I just know
That I'm harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be
Instead of me
But the key
Is a question of control

Can you say
What you're trying to play, anyway?
I just pay
While you're breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find
Have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive
That is fuelled

All this running around
Well, it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true

There's a hole in your soul
Like an animal
With no conscience
Repentance, unknown
Close your eyes
Pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds
That are sown

Can't conceal what I feel
What I know is real
No mistaking the faking
I care
With a prayer in the air
I will leave it there
On a note full of hope
Not despair

All this running around
Well, it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true

All this running around
Well, it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true

The Offspring - The Noose


(Well our) souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way
We all end up forsaken, we're just choosing our own way
The future now incinerates before our very eyes
And leaves us with the emptiness of no more tries

(Well our) visions of our glory now have spiraled down the drain
The best of our intentions have come crashing down in flames
The depths of our despair we are unable to contain
It's shallow living

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our maker comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

(Well the) tracers from a yesteryear are burning in the dust
Your bruises are reminders of naivete and trust
You're only feeling stronger cause your body's getting numb
Now I lay you down
Put the coins in your eyes
And blow the candles out

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our maker comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
(2x)

No more! (No more!)
No more! (No more!)
Nothing!

No more! (No more!)
No more! (No more!)
Ever!
No! (No!)
More!
No! (No!)
More!

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our maker comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

Dream theater - Pull me under


Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Arrows fly
Seas increase and then fall again

This world is spinning around me
This world is spinning without me
Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves one less to my last

Watch the sparrow falling
Gives new meaning to it all
If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day

Ill take seven lives for one
And then my only fathers son
As sure as I ever did love him
I am not afraid

This world is spinning around me
The whole world keeps spinning around me
All life is future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last

Pull me under pull me under
Pull me under Im not afraid
All that I feel in honor and spite
All I can do is set it right

Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall again

This world is spinning inside me
The whole world is spinning inside of me
Every day sends future to past
Every step brings me closer to my last

Pull me under pull me under
Pull me under Im not afraid
Living my life too much in in the sun
Only until your will is done
