Vorrei ma non posso

«I'd like to stay but I can't because
I've been fooling around and I know
that you called because you've never even knew that it was hurting me».

(da Daddy's Eyes, ‘Sawdust’, The Killers, 2008)

Untitled

«Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep,
it's such a bitter form of refuge.
Don't you know the kingdom's under siege
and everybody needs you?
Is there still magic in the midnight sun
or did you leave it back in '61?
In the the cadence af young man's eyes
and were the dreams roll high».

(da A Dustland Fairytale, 'Day & Age', The Killers, 2008)

Una via d'uscita

«Aggresively we all defend the role we play,
regrettably time's come to send you on your way;
we've seen it all: bonfires of trust, flash floods of pain.
It doesn't really matter, don't you worry, it'll all work out».

(da Exitlude, 'Sam's Town', The Killers, 2006)

Bianca assoluzione

«We used to tear it down,

but now we just exist.

The things that I did wrong,

I'll bet you've got a list.

...

Forget about what i said

the lights are gone and the parties over.»

(da Forget About What I Said, The Killers, 'Day & Age', 2008)

The last embrace

«I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go»

(da This River is Wild, The Killers, "Sam's Town", 2006)

« And I'm sick of all my judges,
so scared of letting me shine
But I know that I can make it,
as long as somebody takes me home,
every now and then...»

(da Sam's Town, The Killers, ib., 2006)
