REM - Imitation Of Life



"Charades, pop skill
Water hyacinth
Named by a poet
Imitation of life

Like a coin in a frozen pond
Like a goldfish in a bowl
I don't want to hear you cry

That sugarcane that tasted good
That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on
No one can see you try

You want the greatest thing
The greatest thing since bread came sliced
You've got it all
You've got it sized

Like a Friday fashion show
Teenager freezing in the corner
Trying to look like you don't try

That sugarcane that tasted good
That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on
No one can see you try

No one can see you cry

That sugarcane that tasted good
That's freezing rain, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry

This sugarcane, this lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry

This lightning storm, this tidal wave
This avalanche, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry

That sugarcane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry

That sugarcane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry."

Cheap Trick : Surrender

from the album "Heaven Tonight" (1978)



Surrender

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Well just the other day I heard of a soldier's falling off
some Indonesian junk that's going round.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, aaaaaaaay.

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, aaaaaaaay.

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin, got my Kiss records out.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, aaaaaaaay.

Awaaaaaay.
Awaaaaaay.

Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
(Bun E's alright, Tommy's alright, Robin's alright, Rick's alright)
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
(Were all alright, Were all alright, Were all alright, Were all alright!!!)
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)

[align=center]- Gary Go -
.: Wonderful :.

The person that you were has died
You’ve lost the sparkle in your eyes
You fell for life - into its traps
Now you wanna bridge the gaps
Now you wanna bridge the gaps
Now you want that person back

And all your ammunition’s gone
Run out of fuel to carry on
You don’t know what you wanna do
You’ve got no pull to pull you through

Say “I am”
Say “I am”
Say “I am wonderful”

Say “I am”
Say “I am”
Say “I am wonderful”

If what you’ve lost cannot be found
And the weight of the world weighs you down
No longer with the will to fly
You stop to let it pass you by
Don’t stop to let it pass you by
You’ve gotta look yourself in the eye

Say “I am”
Say “I am”
Say “I am wonderful”
Oh you are

Say “I am”
Say “I am”
Say “I am wonderful”

Cause we are all miracles
wrapped up in chemicals
We are incredible
Don’t take it for granted, no
We are all miracles
Oh we are

Say “I am”
Say “I am”
Say “I am wonderful”
Oh you are

Don’t take it for granted, no
We are all miracles
wrapped up, yeah we’re wrapped up
Oh we are wonderful

Meat Puppets - Lake Of Fire
1983



where do bad folks go when they die?
they don't go to heaven where the angels fly
they go down to the lake of fire and fry
won't see 'em again till the fourth of july

i knew a lady who lived in duluth
she got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
but she went to her grave a little too soon
and she flew away howling at the yellow moon

now the people cry and the people moan
and they look for a dry place to call their home
and try to find some place to rest their bones
while the angels and the devils
fight to claim them for their own

The Eagles - Take it Easy

Well, I'm running down the road
tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on
my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine
Take It easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
and take it easy
Well, I'm a standing on a corner
in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
we will never be here again
so open up, I'm climbin' in,
so take it easy
Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen
my load, got a world of trouble on my mind
lookin' for a lover who won't blow my
cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
don't let the sound of your own
wheels make you crazy
come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

Aaaaahhh io la sua voce l'adoro, anche se viene fuori da Xfactor:

A proposito di Eagles, c'è questa versione di Hotel California che ogni volta che l'ascolto mi fa venire i brividi da quanto è bella e, boh, è una delle pochissime cose in grado di mettermi pace.

tieni presente che se vuoi metterti a riposare in pace, puoi anche cedere il tuo posto in metro alla capressa.

nel video c'è il testo.. stupendo
posto una traduzione fatta abbastanza bene

Lui disse "Figliolo,
Hai visto il mondo?
Bene, (se non l'hai fatto) cosa diresti
Se io ti dicessi che potresti farlo?
Semplicemente porta con te questa pistola
E sarai sempre pagato."
Io dissi "Sembra allettante"

Stivali di pelle nera
Sputi risplendono così luminosi
Mi hanno tagliato i capelli ma stanno bene
Marciavamo e cantavamo
Diventammo tutti amici
Mentre imparavamo a combattere

Un eroe di guerra
Si, è questo ciò che sarò
E quando tornerò a casa
Saranno dannatamente orgogliosi di me
Porterò questa bandiera fino
Alla tomba, se devo
Perchè è la bandiera che amo
E una bandiera in cui credo

Ho dato un calcio contro la porta
Ho gridato i miei comandi
I bambini, loro piangevano
Ma avevo il mio uomo
Lo portammo via
Un sacchetto sul suo volto
Via dalla sua famiglia e i suoi amici

Gli tolsero i vestiti
Gli pisciarono sulle mani
Gli dissi di fermarsi
Ma poi mi sono unito a loro
Lo colpimmo con le pistole
E lo prendemmo a manganellate
Non solo una volta
Ma più e più volte

Un eroe di guerra
Si, è questo ciò che sarò
E quando tornerò a casa
Saranno dannatamente orgogliosi di me
Porterò questa bandiera fino
Alla tomba, se devo
Perchè è la bandiera che amo
E una bandiera in cui credo

Lei camminava tra proiettili e foschia
Le chiesi di fermarsi
La pregai di restare
Ma lei insisteva
Così ho tirato fuori
La mia pistola e ho sparato

Le conchiglie saltarono attraverso il fumo
E nella sabbia
Di quel sangue era imbevuta
Collassò con una bandiera tra le sue mani
Una bandiera bianca come la neve

Un eroe di guerra
E' questo ciò che vedono
Solamente medaglie e cicatrici
Così dannatamente orgogliosi di me
Ed ho portato a casa quella bandiera
Ora è impregnata di polvere
Ma è una bandiera che amo
E'l'unica bandiera in cui credo

Lui disse "Figliolo, hai visto il mondo?
Bene, (se non l'hai fatto) cosa diresti
Se io ti dicessi che potresti farlo?"

Ascoltata oggi in macchina mentre andavo a Bologna. Bella, bella davvero. Che poi in canzoni acustiche come questa si sente tantissimo la pronuncia blesa di Tim McIlrath, e aggiunge un tocco d'imperfezione che se possibile la migliora.


Quella di stanotte invece:

UnderOath - Writing on the Walls
Maybe we, why don't we
Sit right here for half an hour
We'll speak of what a waste I am
And how we missed your beat again.

I swear we need to find some comfort in this run down place
To bridge the gap of this conscious state that we live in
And I'm short on time

How come you try
that brings us home
to fit the shape of
and I pray for
What they tell you
You to move on, move on
but mostly what they show you
At this rate we can't keep up
I'm taking back all the things I've said
I'm taking back all the things I've said
But I sure can't just sit still
Keep me filled in and i swear I'll come

We walk alone
Back home
Alone, Back home

You're almost gone and I'm okay
I still see your shadow
To give you time to be afraid
But never your face again
I remember your presence

I hope to God you come down
I hope to God you feel this now
I hope to God you come down
I hope to...God

I know there must be some way out of here
And all of them will be waiting there.

e poi dicono che i giovini sono tutti maleducati. Capry l'avrà fatto sicuramente per galanteria nei confronti di una donna e non perchè sei anziana  :lol2:
