Bad Religion - Infected


now here I go,
hope I don't break down,
I won't take anything, I don't need anything,
don't want to exist, I can't persist,
please stop before I do it again,
just talk about nothing, let's talk about nothing,
let's talk about no one, please talk about no one, someone, anyone
you and me have a disease,
you affect me, you infect me,
I'm afflicted, you're addicted,
you and me, you and me
I'm on the edge,
get against the wall,
I'm so distracted,
I love to strike you,
here's my confession,
you learned your lesson,
stop me before I do it again
you're clear - as a heavy lead curtain want to drill you - like an ocean,
we can work it out, I've been running out, now I'm running out
don't be mad about it baby,
you and me, you and me,
I want to tie you, crucify you,
kneel before you, revile your body,
you and me, we're made in heaven,
I want to take you, I want to break you,
supplicate you, are incurable,
I want to bathe you in holy water I want to kill you,
upon the alter, you and me, you and me.

Slipknot - Duality


I push my fingers into my eyes...
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache...
But it's made of all the things I have to take...
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside...
If the pain goes on...
Aaaaaaah!

I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited as my time's elapsed
Now, All I do is live with so much fate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact:
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!

Put me back together
Or separate the skin from bone
Leave me all the Pieces, then you can leave me
alone
Tell me the reality is better than the dream
But I found out the hard way,
Nothing is what it seems!

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!

All I've got...all I've got is insane...
All I've got...all I've got is insane...
All I've got...all I've got is insane!
All I've got...all I've got is insane!

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!

Vasco Rossi -- Ogni volta

E ogni volta che viene giorno
ogni volta che ritorno
ogni volta che cammino e
mi sembra di averti vicino
ogni volta che mi guardo intorno
ogni volta che non me ne accorgo
ogni volta che viene giorno
E ogni volta che mi sveglio
ogni volta che mi sbaglio
ogni volta che sono sicuro e
ogni volta che mi sento solo
ogni volta che mi viene in mente
qualche cosa che non c'entra niente
ogni volta
E ogni volta che non sono coerente
e ogni volta che non è importante
ogni volta che qualcuno si preoccupa per me
ogni volta che non c'è
proprio quanto la stavo cercando
ogni volta
ogni volta quando....
E ogni volta che torna sera
mi prende la paura
e ogni volta che torna sera
mi prende la paura
E ogni volta che non c'entro
ogni volta che non sono stato
ogni volta che non guardo in faccia a niente
e ogni volta che dopo piango
ogni volta che rimango
con la testa tra le mani
e rimando tutto a domani

Within Temptation - Hand of sorrow


The child without a name grew up to be the hand
To watch you, to shield you, or kill on demand
The choice he made he could not comprehend
He’s got a grim secret they had to command
He’s torn between his honour and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have past toward a noble land of lies
Will all our sins be justified?
The curse of his powers tormented his life
Obeying the crown was a sinister crime
His soul was tortured by love and by pain
He surely would flee but the oath made him stay
He’s torn between his honour and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have past toward a noble land of lies
Will all our sins be justified?
Please forgive me for the sorrow
For leaving you in fear
For the dreams we had to silence
That’s all there’ll ever be
Still I’ll be the hand that saves you
Though you’ll not see that it is me
So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have past toward a noble land of lies
Will all our sins be justified?

Rockstar's Love Fist - FIST FURY

Here we go again
Cruisin in the right side of town
Where the chicks taste like candy, but all the guys look like clowns
Yea! Here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna get and fix some of the best
Driving by in my Porscha, down in the roadhouse to get us some

Love Fist fury, we're just getting pussy
Our love rockets are too aroused
The girls are going crazy cause we ain't getting lazy
Shooting love fist fuel all around

Six AM on the morning after the beast rest up for awhile
Last night saw some ugly fighting brawl
Because the badge mustn't want us in town
I said "come on guys chill for awhile, join us in our Fist world"
Thank god the badge chose the Love Fist for a drunken crazy wild

Love Fist fury, checkin out all the pussy
Let your love rockets do all the rounds
The girls are going crazy, tonight is getting hazy
Shooting love fist fuel from their mouths

Love Fist fury, we're just getting pussy
Our love rockets are too aroused
The girls are going crazy cause we ain't getting lazy
Shooting love fist fuel all around

Love Fist fury, we're just getting pussy
Our love rockets are too aroused
The girls are going crazy cause we ain't getting lazy
Shooting love fist fuel all around

Love Fist fury, we're just getting pussy
Our love rockets are too aroused
The girls are going crazy cause we ain't getting lazy
Shooting love fist fuel all around

Love Fist fury, we're just getting pussy
Our love rockets are too aroused
The girls are going crazy cause we ain't getting lazy
Shooting love fist fuel all around

Josh Joplin - Matter



And so life continues
As matter does not disappear
And you are not the issue
In this the universal sphere
So turn off the light
Let night embrace and take you in
Sleep within it's wisdom

And dreams are not lost
they merely fall beneath the ashes
Of what is left to the soul
From where it starts to where it catches

And you must remember me
A plea from one who must be kept like
Some vacant thought
We fear to find
We can't forget
And you have become
The instant you believe you have
Our memories our aftermath

Dreams are not lost
They merely fall beneath the ashes
Of what is left to the soul
From where it starts to where it catches
And this is our time until it passes

You sleep deeper than I do
And I keep thinking about you
Eyes tired and the night is impatient
It takes me under and I change the station
It takes me under and I change the station
It takes me under and I change the station
Though they may fade into the everyday

Dreams, dreams are not lost
they merely fall between the ashes
Of what is left to the soul
From where it starts to where it catches

Amedeo Minghi- La vita mia-
Vita mia,
Non sappiamo più aferrare, maneggiare,
Questo amore che svanisce e sguscia via,
Ti sei intristita e poi,
Poi ti sei stranita,
Non dici più :che bel tempo sei tu.

Infatti piove,
Vorresti uscire raffreddarti insieme a me,
Io vestito leggerissimo morrei
E mi abbandonerei per veder di nuovo
La vita mia, rapidissimo addio
E guardo fuori,
Vedo cuori e sogno gli alberi che anch’io
Ho scalato anch’io
È annidato lassù
Rivedo te che sei, che sei, la vita mia.

Questa vita tra le braccia, tra le mani,
Ha un bel volto, la tua faccia, un gran bel viso,
Hai vuoto che dai tu, anche il tuo sorriso io l’ho vissuto
E confuso sul mio,
Se questa è vita, l’ho toccata,
L’ho sentita su dì me, l’ho abbracciatta in te,
Guardo meglio e non c’è
Più dubbio che tu sia, che sei, la vita mia.

Che begli occhi vedrei con gli occhi miei,
Quanto amore catturato con le mani,
Che a le ali e con le ali svanirà
Ed io mí innamorai
Venni a dirlo a te, ti confidai
Che eri tu oramai.

C’è un temporale,
Possiamo uscire e raffreddarci insieme ormai, tremare
Perchè tremare fà,
La vita che se ne va, con te che porti via, con te,
La vita mia.

Perchè tremare fà,
La vita che se ne va, con te che porti via, con te,
La vita mia.

Extraterrestre - Finardi

C'era un tipo che viveva in un abbaino
per avere il cielo sempre vicino
voleva passare sulla vita come un aeroplano
perché a lui non importava niente
di quello che faceva la gente
solo una cosa per lui era importante
e si esercitava continuamente
per sviluppare quel talento latente
che è nascosto tra le pieghe della mente
e la notte sdraiato sul letto, guardando le stelle
dalla finestra nel tetto con un messaggio
voleva prendere contatto, diceva:

"Extraterrestre portami via
voglio una stella che sia tutta mia
extraterrestre vienimi a cercare
voglio un pianeta su cui ricominciare

Una notte il suo messaggio fu ricevuto
ed in un istante é stato trasportato
senza dolore su un pianeta sconosciuto
il cielo un po' più viola del normale
un po' più caldo il sole, ma nell'aria un buon sapore
terra da esplorare, e dopo la terra il mare
un pianeta intero con cui giocare
e lentamente la consapevolezza
mista ad una dolce sicurezza
"l'universo é la mia fortezza!"

"Extraterrestre portami via
voglio una stella che sia tutta mia
extraterrestre vienimi a pigliare
voglio un pianeta su cui ricominciare!"

Ma dopo un po' di tempo la sua sicurezza
comincia a dare segni di incertezza
si sente crescere dentro l'amarezza
perché adesso che il suo scopo é stato realizzato
si sente ancora vuoto
si accorge che in lui niente é cambiato
che le sue paure non se ne sono andate
anzi che semmai sono aumentate
dalla solitudine amplificate
e adesso passa la vita a cercare
ancora di comunicare
con qualcuno che lo possa far tornare, dice:

"Extraterrestre portami via
voglio tornare indietro a casa mia
extraterrestre vienimi a cercare
voglio tornare per ricominciare!
Extraterrestre portami via
voglio tornare indietro a casa mia
extraterrestre non mi abbandonare
voglio tornare per ricominciare!"

Regina Spektor - On The Radio


This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some worms
To aid in the decay
But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

On the radio
We heard November Rain
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Cause the DJ was asleep

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

And on the radio
You hear November Rain
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio
(oh oh oh)
On the radio
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio

Young Abdel Madi Shabneh was only 18 years old
The youngest of 9 children, he'd never spent a nite away from home
And his mother held his photograph, up in the New York Times
You see the killing has intensified, along the road to peace

A tall thin boy with a whispy moustache, disguised as an Orthodox Jew
On a crowded bus in Jerusalem, some had survived World War II
And the thunderous explosion blew out windows, 200 yards away
More retribution and 17 dead, along the road to peace

Now at King George Avenue and Jaffa Road, passengers boarded bus 14A
In the aisle next to the driver Abdel Madi Shabneh
And the last thing that he said on earth was "God is great and god is good"
And he blew them all to kingdom come, upon the road to peace

Now in response to this, another kiss of death was visited upon
Yashir Tehah, Israel said is an Hamas Senior militant
Israel sent 4 choppers in, flames engulfed his white opal
And it killed his wife and his 3-year-old child, leaving only blackened skeletons

They found a toddler's bottle and a pair of small shoes,
and they waved them in front of the cameras
But Israel said they did not know that his wife and child were in the car
There are roadblocks everywhere and only suffering on TV
Neither side will ever give up their smallest right, along the road to peace

Israel launched it's latest campaign against Hamas on Tuesday
And two days later Hamas shot back and killed five Israeli soldiers
Though thousands dead and wounded on both sides, most of them Middle Eastern civilians
They fill their children full of hate, to fight an old man's war and die, upon the road to peace

"And this is our land we will fight with all our force", say the Palastinians and the Jews
And each side will cut off the hand of anyone who tries to stop the Resistance
If the right eye offends thee, then you must pluck it out
And Machoud Abbas and Sharon had been lost, along the road to peace

Once Kissinger said: "We have no friends, America only has interests"
And now our president wants to be seen as a hero and he's hungry for re-election
But Bush is reluctant to risk his future, with the fear of his political failures
So he plays chess at his desk and poses for the press, ten thousand miles from the road to peace

In a video that they found at the home of Abdel Madi Shabneh
He held a kalashnikov riffle, and he spoke with the voice like a boy
He was an excellent student, he studied so hard, it was as if he had a future
He told his mother he had a test that day, out along the road to peace

The fundamentalist killing on both sides is standing in the path of peace
And tell me, why are we arming the Israeli army with guns and tanks and bullets?
And if god is great and god is good, why can't he change the hearts of men?
Well, maybe god himself is lost and needs help
Maybe god himself he needs all of our help
Maybe god himself is lost and needs help
He's out upon the road to peace

Maybe god himself is lost and needs help
Maybe god himself he needs all of our help
And he's lost upon the road to peace
And he's lost upon the road to peace
Out upon the road to peace

Road to peace - Tom Waits

Sulla piazza d'una città
la gente guardava con ammirazione
un gorilla portato là
dagli zingari di un baraccone

con poco senso del pudore
le comari di quel rione
contemplavano lo scimmione
non dico dove non dico come

attenti al gorilla !

d'improvviso la grossa gabbia
dove viveva l'animale
s'aprì di schianto non so perché
forse l'avevano chiusa male

la bestia uscendo fuori di là
disse: "quest'oggi me la levo"
parlava della verginità
di cui ancora viveva schiavo

attenti al gorilla !

il padrone si mise a urlare
" il mio gorilla , fate attenzione
non ha veduto mai una scimmia
potrebbe fare confusione"

tutti i presenti a questo punto
fuggirono in ogni direzione
anche le donne dimostrando
la differenza fra idea e azione

attenti al gorilla !

tutta la gente corre di fretta
di qui e di là con grande foga
si attardano solo una vecchietta
e un giovane giudice con la toga

visto che gli altri avevan squagliato
il quadrumane accelerò
e sulla vecchia e sul magistrato
con quattro salti si portò

attenti al gorilla !

bah , sospirò pensando la vecchia
ch'io fossi ancora desiderata
sarebbe cosa alquanto strana
e più che altro non sperata

che mi si prenda per una scimmia
pensava il giudice col fiato corto
non è possibile, questo è sicuro
il seguito prova che aveva torto

attenti al gorilla !

se qualcuno di voi dovesse
costretto con le spalle al muro ,
violare un giudice od una vecchia
della sua scelta sarei sicuro

ma si dà il caso che il gorilla
considerato un grandioso fusto
da chi l'ha provato però non brilla
né per lo spirito né per il gusto

attenti al gorilla !

infatti lui, sdegnando la vecchia
si dirige sul magistrato
lo acchiappa forte per un'orecchia
e lo trascina in mezzo ad un prato
quello che avvenne fra l'erba alta

non posso dirlo per intero
ma lo spettacolo fu avvincente
e lo "suspence" ci fu davvero

attenti al gorilla !

dirò soltanto che sul più bello
dello spiacevole e cupo dramma
piangeva il giudice come un vitello
negli intervalli gridava mamma

gridava mamma come quel tale
cui il giorno prima come ad un pollo
con una sentenza un po' originale
aveva fatto tagliare il collo.

attenti al gorilla !
