mi sono rispupazzato da pagina uno in cerca di song a me sconosciute e poco sputtanate per fare una compilation a sua confettosità
a proposito, un paio di perle postate dalla outsider capressa (aka Rasputin) si riveleranno preziose,
cosi come l'onniscenza musicale dei frequentatori tutti, ho scippato a dx e sx, grazie, finalmente un topic di servizio.

Eh, però il pubblico vuole sapere quali canzoni hai scelto...

il primo gruppo famoso dell'immenso Joe Walsh 

The James Gang : Funk #49

from the album "Rides Again" (1970)



Funk #49

Sleep all day, out all night
I know where you're goin'
I don't think that's actin' right
You don't think it's showin'

Jumpin' up, fallin' down
Don't misunderstand me
You don't think that I know your plan
What you try'n'-a hand me?

Out all night, sleep all day
I know what you're doin'
If you're gonna act that way
I think there's trouble brewin'

The Vines - Winning Days

The winning days are gone
Because I know just where I'm seeing
Was given eyes I know
I can hear
Cause underneath there's gold
I need to get around to find it
And when I want to go
I can dream
I've been trying
All my time

I'm just seeing it rise
Cause it could be the land that's over me
So I just wanna let it breathe

The winning days are gone
Because I know just where I'm seeing
Was given eyes I know
I can hear

Cause underneath there's gold
I need to get around to find it
And when I want to go
I can dream
I've been trying
All my time

I'm just seeing it rise
Cause it could be the land that's over me
So I just wanna let it breathe for now

Get up and go outside
It can help your mind too
Get up don't hide away

Cause I know where they go
I´ve seen you down when I was flying
I'm sinking like a stone
I can´t breathe
I've been trying...

John Fogerty : Centerfield

from the album "Centerfield" (1985)



Centerfield

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We’re born again, there’s new grass on the field.
A-roundin’ third, and headed for home, it’s a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

Oh, put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.

Well, I spent some time in the mudville nine, watchin’ it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the mighty casey struck out.
So say hey willie, tell ty cobb and joe dimaggio;
Don’t say "it ain’t so", you know the time is now.

Oh, put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.

Yeah! I got it, I got it!

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think it’s time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch ’em all - a moment in the sun;
(pop) it’s gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

Oh, put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.

Oh, put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.
Yeah!

Piero Ciampi - Adius

Il tuo viso esiste fresco
mentre una sera scende dolce
sul porto.
Tu mi manchi molto,
ogni ora di più.
La tua assenza è un assedio
ma ti chiedo una tregua
prima dell'attacco finale
perchè un cuore giace inerte
rossastro sulla strada
e un gatto se lo mangia
tra gente indifferente
ma non sono io,
sono gli altri.
E così...

Vuoi stare vicina? nooo?
Ma vaffanculo. Ma vaffanculo.
Sono quarant'anni che ti voglio dire... ma vaffanculo.
Ma vaffanculo te e tutti i tuoi cari. Ma vaffanculo.

Ma come? Ma sono secoli che ti amo, cinquemila anni, e
tu mi dici di no? Ma vaffanculo. Sai che cosa ti dico? va-ffan-culo. Te,
gli intellettuali e i pirati. Vaffanculo. Vaffanculo .
Non ho altro da dirti. Sai che bel vaffanculo che ti porti nella tomba?
Perché io sono bello, sono bellissimo, e dove vai? Ma vaffanculo. E
non ridere, non conosci l'educazione, eh? Portami
una sedia, e vattene.

The Rolling Stones : Monkey Man

from the album "Let It Bleed" (1969)



Monkey Man

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true

I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?

But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?

Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through

Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?

Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues

Well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman
Monkey woman too, babe!

I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
I'm a monkey man! I'm a monkey man!
I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
Monkey! monkey! monkey!.......

Bob Dylan



Hurricane, from the album Desire, 1976

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall.
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!"
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously.
"I didn't do it," he says, and he throws up his hands
"I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand.
I saw them leavin'," he says, and he stops
"One of us had better call up the cops."
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New Jersey night.

Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around.
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that.
In Paterson that's just the way things go.
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you wanna draw the heat.

Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops.
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
He said, "I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates."
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head.
Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead"
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men.

Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in,
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs.
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
Says, "Wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!"
Yes, here's the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Four months later, the ghettos are in flame,
Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame.
"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?"
"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"
"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?"
"Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night?"
"Don't forget that you are white."

Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm really not sure."
Cops said, "A poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow.
You'll be doin' society a favor.
That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver.
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain't no Gentleman Jim."

Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much.
It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail.
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse.

All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger.
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.
And though they could not produce the gun,
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed.

Rubin Carter was falsely tried.
The crime was murder "one," guess who testified?
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
To see him obviously framed
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land

Where justice is a game.

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell.
That's the story of the Hurricane,
But it won't be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time he's done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Franco Battiato - La Stagione dell'Amore
Orizzoni Perduti (1983)

La stagione dell'amore viene e va,
i desideri non invecchiano quasi mai con l'età.
Se penso a come ho speso male il mio tempo
che non tornerà, non ritornerà più.
La stagione dell'amore viene e va,
all'improvviso senza accorgerti, la vivrai, ti sorprenderà.
Ne abbiamo avute di occasioni
perdendole; non rimpiangerle, non rimpiangerle mai.
Ancora un'altro entusiasmo ti farà pulsare il cuore.
Nuove possibilità per conoscersi
e gli orizzonti perduti non ritornano mai.
La stagione dell'amore tornerà
con le paure e le scommesse questa volta quanto durerà.
Se penso a come ho speso male il mio tempo
che non tornerà, non ritornerà più.

The Beatles - Yesterday
(1965)

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half to man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go?
I don't know she woldn't say.
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh I believe in yesterday.

Keane - Somewhere Only We Know 2004
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmXY2MSrguE

I walked across an empty land,
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.
I felt the earth beneath my feet,
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

I came across a fallen elm tree,
I felt the branches; are they looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
So if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.

So if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, so why don't we go,
Hmmm yeahh, ooohhh, oh oh
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know

La Crus - Inventario
1997



Tre chiodi
due chiavi
una stanza
lo stereo che manda Jacques Brel
camicie
e rose appassite
un quadro di Giacomo Spazio
del vino
e un romanzo di Beckett
le mie quattro armoniche a bocca
e un libro sui fiori di Bach
un vecchio biglietto dell'Elfo
i neri stivali di sempre
due foto
una sveglia
ed un letto
e in mezzo io che penso a te

Video fantastico :lol2: Che oltre a essere invedibile di suo riesce nell'ardua imprea di minimizzare tutti i (tanti) pregi della canzone e estremizzarne i (pochi) difetti.
