Songs – Mika: Relax, take it easy

Scritto da Tripluca il 21/08/2007

Artist: Mika
Title: Relax, take it easy
Album: Life in Cartoon Motion
Year: 2007

Took a ride to the end of the line
Where no one ever goes.
Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know.
But the pain and the (longings) the same.
(Where the dying
Now I’m lost and I’m screaming for help.)

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
It’s as if I scared.
It’s as if I’m playing with fire.
Scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?

Relax
There is an answer to the darkest times.
It’s clear we don’t understand but the last thing on my mind
Is to leave you.
I believe that we’re in this together.
Don’t scream – there are so many roads left.

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
It’s as if I scared.
It’s as if I’m playing with fire.
Scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?

Relax
Relax

Weapon go crazy, it’s an atrocity

In Palestina, too much hypocricy
This world go crazy, it’s no fatality

That’s just because, it’s a US Country

Welcome to paradise, Come to the fairy lies
Welcome to paradise
Today it’s raining (4x) fade out

Songs – America: a horse with no name

Scritto da Tripluca il 24/07/2007

Artist: America
Title: A horse with no name
Album: America
Year: 1972

On the first part of the journey
i was looking at all the life
there were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
the first thing i met was a fly with a buzz
and a sky with no clouds
the heat was hot and the ground was dry
but the air was full of sound

(chorus)
i’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
it felt good to be out of the rain
in the desert you can remember your name
’cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain
la la ….

after two days in the desert sun
my skin began to turn red
after three days in the desert fun
i was looking at a river bed
and the story it told of a river that flowed
made me sad to think it was dead
(chorus)

after nine days i let the horse run free
’cause the desert had turned to sea
there were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
the ocean is a desert with its life underground
and a perfect disguise above
under the cities lies a heart made of ground
but the humans will give no love
(chorus)

Songs – OMD: Locomotion

Scritto da Tripluca il 23/07/2007

Artist: Orchestral Manouvres in the Dark
Title: Locomotion
Album: Junk Culture
Year: 1984

Across every ocean
for the sake of locomotion
but I wouldn’t have a notion
how to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
run down the boardwalk
stop and make small talk
but I can’t say no to you

I can’t say no I can’t say yes
I cant’ even write down my own address
I can’t touch Heaven it’s a little too far
it’s the only way to travel
got dreaming on a parr
I’m staring through the window
wonder where you are
moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour

Across every nation
from the harbour to the station
it’s a source of inspiration
it’s a power to the state
they run down the railways
sail across the seaways
fly through the airways
but they can’t say no
to you

I can’t stand up I can’t stand still
I know you wouldn’t like it if I told you how I feel
I just want to say that it’s only common sense
but the words always fail me at my own expense
I’m staring out the window
wonder where you are
moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour

Across every ocean
for the sake of locomotion
but I wouldn’t have a notion
how to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
run down the boardwalk
stop and make small talk
but I can’t say no to you

Songs – Bruce Springsteen: Born to Run

Scritto da Tripluca il 23/07/2007

Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Title: Born to run
Album: Born to run
Year: 1975

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway american dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin’ out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It’s a death trap, it’s a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we’re young
`cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We’ll run till we drop, baby we’ll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
`cause baby I’m just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real

Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

The highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody’s out on the run tonight but there’s no place left to hide
Together wendy we’ll live with the sadness
I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don’t know when we’re gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and we’ll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run

Canzoni – Ron: una città per cantare

Scritto da Tripluca il 23/07/2007

Titolo: Una Città  Per Cantare
Artista: Ron
Album: Ma Quando Dici Amore
Anno: 1972

Grandi strade piene
vecchi alberghi trasformati
tu scrivi anche di notte
perchè di notte non dormi mai,
buio anche tra i fari
tra ragazzi come te
tu canti smetti e canti
sai che non ti fermerai
caffé alla mattina
puoi fumarti il pomeriggio
si parlerà  del tempo
se c’é pioggia non suonerai
quante interurbane
per dire “come stai?”
raccontare dei successi
e dei fischi non parlarne mai
e se ti fermi
convinto che ti si può ricordare
hai davanti un altro viaggio
e una città  per cantare
alle ragazze non chieder niente
perchè niente ti possono dare
se il tuo nome non e’ sui giornali
o si fa dimenticare
lungo la strada
tante facce diventano una
che finisci per dimenticare
o la confondi con la luna
ma quando ti fermi
convinto che ti si può ricordare
hai davanti un altro viaggio
e una città  per cantare
grandi strade piene
vecchi alberghi dimenticati
io non so se ti conviene
i tuoi amori dove sono andati
buia e’ la sala
devi ancora cominciare
tu provi smetti e provi
la canzone che dovrai cantare
e non ti fermi
convinto che ti si può ricordare
hai davanti una canzone nuova
e una città  per cantare
