R.E.M. : Orange Crush

from the album "Green" (1988)



Orange Crush

Follow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't collar me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me

Follow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't collar me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me

High on the booze
in a tent
paved with blood,
nine-inch howl,
brave the night,
chopper comin' in, you hope.

We'd circle and we'd circle and we'd circle to stop and consider and
centered on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up and
our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all this here county
hell any county it's just like heaven here and I was remembering and I
was just in a different county and all then this whirlybird that I
headed for I had my goggles pulled off I knew it all I knew every back
road and every truck stop

Follow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't collar me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me

High on the booze
in a tent
paved with blood,
nine-inch howl,
brave the night,
chopper comin' in, you hope.

Altro pezzo "allegro"... bello lungo, ci fosse stato il nome della mia ex al posto di questa Konstantine sarebbe stato più azzeccato :gazza:

Something Corporate - Konstantine
2001



I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand
All the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big... dreams
It's always you and my big dreams

And you tell me
That it's over
But I can't stand here in a patch of four leaf clover
And your restless
And I'm naked
You've got to get out
You can't stand to see me shaking
No, could you let me go
I didn't think so

And you don't want to be here in the future
So you say
The present's just a pleasant
Interruption to the past
And you don't want to look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all the hope
That you had sent into the sky by now had... crashed
And it did because of me

And then you bring me home
Afraid to find out that you're alone, no
And I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

And I had dreams that I would learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rockstar
And there was hope in me
That I could take you there
But dammit you're so young
But I don't think I care
And if I hurt you then I'm sorry
Please don't think that this was easy

And then you bring me home
'Cause we both know what its like to be alone, no
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

Konstantine came walking down the stairs
Doesn't she look good
Standing in her underwear?
And I've been thinking, and I've thinking, no
But she's been drinking
And it doesn't get me anywhere

My Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do
Was touch her long blond hair
And I was thinking, what I was thinking ya know
We've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere

This is because I can spell confusion with a K
and I like it
It's to dying in another's arms
And why I had to try it
It's to jimmy eat world
And those nights in my car
But this time I'm alone, and I don't see those stars
I'm not your star?
Isn't that what you said
What you thought this song meant
You thought this song meant

And if this is what it takes
Just to lie in my mistakes
And live with what I did to you
And all the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock it's 11:11
And now you want to talk
It's not hard to dream
You'll always be my Konstantine

They'll never hurt you like I do
No, They'll never hurt you like I do
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No

This is to a girl who got into my head
With all these pretty things she did
Hey Baby, You know that you keep me up in bed
It's to a girl who got into my head
With all the fucked up things I did
Hey maybe baby, you could keep me up in bed
My Konstantine

Spin around me like a dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said,
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you

God, I miss you

And then you bring me home
And we'll go to sleep but this time not alone, no no,
And you'll kiss me in your living room, oh
And you see, no, that I've been missing in my Living room
Cause this is what I miss, what I miss
We don't have much room
I said, does anybody need that room?
Because we all need a little more room
To live

Artista: Iron Maiden
Album: Number Of The Beast
Titolo: Run To The Hills


White man came across the sea
Brought us pain and misery
Killed our tribes killed our creed
Took our game for his own need

We fought him hard we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free?

Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom a stab in the back
Women and children and cowards attack

Run to the hills run for your lives
Run to the hills run for your lives

Soldier blue on the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whisky and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old

Run to the hills run for your lives
(repeat to end)

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Titolo: Nookie


Check one, one two
I came into the world as a reject
Look into these eyes
Then you'll see the size of the flames
Dwellin on the past
It's burnin up my brain
Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain
Hey, I think about the day
My girlie went away with my pay
And these fellas came to play
Now she's stuck with my homies that she fucked
And I'm just a sucker with a lump in my throat

Hey...like a chump

Should I be feelin bad
Should I be feelin good
It's kinda sad I'm the laughing stock of the neighborhood
And you'd be figured I'd be movin on
But I'm a sucker like I said
Fucked up in the head, not!
And maybe she just made a mistake
And I should give her a break
But my heart will ache either way
Hey, what the hell, whatchu want me to say?
I won't lie, that I can't deny

I did it all for the nookie, c'mon
The nookie, c'mon
So you can take that cookie
And stick it up your yeah!

Stick it up your yeah!
Stick it up your yeah!
Stick it up your

Why did it take so long
Why did I take so long, huh
To figure it out, but I didn't
And I'm the only one
Underneath the sun who didn't get it
I can't believe that I can be deceived
By my so-called girl, but in reality
She had a hidden agenda
She put my tender, heart in a blender
And still I surrender

I did it all for the nookie, c'mon
The nookie, c'mon
So you can take that cookie
And stick it up your yeah!
Stick it up your yeah!
Stick it up your yeah!
Stick it up your

I'm only human
It's so easy for your friends to give you their advice
They tell you just let it go
It's easier said than did
I appreciate it, but
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Just leave me alone
Nothing's gonna change
You can go away
I'm just gonna stay here
And always be the same

I did it all for the nookie, c'mon
The nookie, c'mon
So you can take that cookie
And stick it up your yeah!
Stick it up your yeah!
Stick it up your yeah!
Stick it up your

Bright Eyes - Four Winds



"Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
There are bodies decomposing in containers tonight
In an abandoned building where

The squatters made a mural of a Mexican girl
With 15 cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
Four winds blowing through her hair

The Whore of Babylon
She just can't sustain
The pressure where it's placed
She caves

The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran is mute
If you burned them all together you'd get close to the truth
Still, they're pouring over sanskrit under ivy league moons
While shadows lengthen in the sun

Cast on a school of meditation built to soften the times
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines
Four winds, cry until it comes

And it's the Sum of Man
Slouching towards Bethlehem
A heart just can't contain
All of that empty space
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks

Well I went back by rented Cadillac and company jet
Like a newly orphaned refugee retracing my steps
All the way to Cassadega to commune with the dead
They said, "You'd better look alive"

Now it's off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
In the Black Hills, the Badlands, the calloused East
I've buried my ballast, I made my peace
Heard four winds leveling the pines

But when great Satan's gone,
The whore of Babylon
She just can't remain
With all that outer space
She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves."

Non c'entra nulla con il clima che si respirava quando l'ho ascoltata, ma mi ha colpito molto, nonostante già la conoscessi
E comunque nemmeno un video che mi soddisfacesse...in questo almeno ci sono sia Guccini sia i Nomadi

Francesco Guccini con i Nomadi: Canzone per un'amica

Lunga e diritta correva la strada, l'auto veloce correva
la dolce estate era già cominciata vicino lui sorrideva, vicino lui sorrideva...

Forte la mano teneva il volante, forte il motore cantava,
non lo sapevi che c'era la morte quel giorno che ti aspettava, quel giorno che ti aspettava...

Non lo sapevi che c'era la morte, quando si è giovani è strano
poter pensare che la nostra sorte venga e ci prenda per mano, venga e ci prenda per mano...

Non lo sapevi, ma cosa hai sentito quando la strada è impazzita,
quando la macchina è uscita di lato e sopra un'altra è finita, e sopra un'altra è finita...

Non lo sapevi, ma cosa hai pensato quando lo schianto ti ha uccisa,
quando anche il cielo di sopra è crollato, quando la vita è fuggita, quando la vita è fuggita...

Dopo il silenzio soltanto è regnato tra le lamiere contorte:
sull'autostrada cercavi la vita, ma ti ha incontrato la morte, ma ti ha incontrato la morte...

Vorrei sapere a che cosa è servito vivere, amare, soffrire,
spendere tutti i tuoi giorni passati se così presto hai dovuto partire, se presto hai dovuto partire...

Voglio però ricordarti com'eri, pensare che ancora vivi,
voglio pensare che ancora mi ascolti e che come allora sorridi e che come allora sorridi...

Eisley - Telescope Eyes
2005



Ohh,
You humor me today,
Calling me out to play,
With your telescope eyes, metal teeth,
I can't be seen with you, you see

Please don't make me cry,
Please don't make me cry,
I'm just like you I know you know,
I'm just like you so leave me alone,

I wonder, why can't you see,
You're just not near enough like me,
With your telescope eyes,
Metal teeth, I, can't be seen with you,

Please don't make me cry,
Please don't make me cry,
I'm just like you I know you know,
Im just like you so leave me alone,

Please don't make me cry,
Please don't make me cry,
I'm just like you I know you know,
I'm just like you so leave me alone,

Please don't make me cry,
Please don't make me cry,
I'm just like you I know you know,
I'm just like you so leave me alone.

Oh, you humor me today...

Black Sabbath - Evil Woman

See the look of evil in your eyes
Women filling me all full of lies
Sorrow will not change your shameful deals
You will pass someone else instead of me

Evil woman don't you play your games with me

Now I know just what you're looking for
You want me to claim and change you
Well you know the evil deeds you seen
And you know the way it's got to be

Evil woman don't you play your games with me

Wickedness lies in your poisoned lips
Your body moves just like the crack of a whip
Blackness sleeps on top of your slate bed
Don't you wish you could see me dead

Evil woman don't you play your games with me

HEr green plastiC wateringcan
for her fake chineserubberplant
in the fake plastic earth.
that she bought from a rubber man
in a town full of rubber PlanS
to get rid of itself,- it wears her out.

SHe lives with a broken man,
a cracked polystyreneman who just
crumbles and burns.
He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties but GRAVITY always
wins and it wears him out.

She Looks like the real thing.
She tastes like the real thing,
my fake plastic love.

But I Can't Help The Feeling.
I Could Blow Through The Ceiling.
If I Just Turn And RUN.
and it wears me out.

If i could be who you wanted all the time..

La Terza Unda

Barca tuca la riva, sfrega la punta gratta la spiaggia
tera, tera incazzada che la se lamenta per ogni mè pass,
troppa, troppa la nocc che ho pasaa sura l'acqua fantasma
tera, tera bastarda che spuserà el veent per bufam in dii oecc
unda lama de spada, labbru de dama, lengua de früsta
unda che la carezza.... unda che sgàrla e messeda i riflèss
unda mann che me ciapa che la me rüzza fina a cà mia
unda, unda seguunda che la me tira ancamò in mezz al laagh
vita, vita de frosna, vita sfilzada de punta in soel fuund
vita, vita mulagna, gira la roeda e tira la corda
tera, tera che specia ogni rüdera che porta foe el laagh,
tera che ogni matena cun la stessa facia la specia anca me

E sun che a specià la terza unda e sun che per vedè cume la sarà
e sun pruunt a basà la terza unda e sun pruunt a ciapà tücc i so s'ciàff

Dona dona sbagliada, roesa tajada e poe trada via
dona, dona de tera, roesa che l'era mea la mia,
roesa che la te spuung e intaant che la spuung la te lassa el prufoemm
dona che impara da l'unda a regurdatt che te seret un omm
rema rema via el muund fin duè l'acqua la g'ha pioe memoria
scappa da quela corda che gira che gira e te liiga al puntiil
unda unda busarda prema te rüzza e dopu te sbrofa
aria de carta de vedru che frega e che frega per fatt turnà indree
vita che la se incastra e l'è disegnaada a lisca de pess
vita che la sbrissiga versu quel siit in de gh'eet voeja de vèss
unda che la te porta fina a la spunda de là
per fatt sentì püssee forta la voeja de turnà a cà.....
