Canzone sette

«You were like a cloud
yes you are a flower
then you were a lime
now our love is sour
you were like a cloud
you were just like a flower
then you were a lime
now our love is sour».

(da Song Seven, 'Evil EP', Interpol, 2005)

Per tutti gli sbagli

non è semplice.»

Chiamata alle armi

«The call to arms was never true,
time to imbibe here's to you.
I'll tell you stories bruised and blue
of drum machines and landslides.

Just one more round before we’re through
more psychedelic yuppie flu.
It’s such a silly thing to do,
now we’re stuck on rewind».

(da Follow The Cops Back Home, 'Meds', Placebo, 2006)

Arrivederci, per sempre.

«Before our innocence was lost,
you were always one of those
blessed with lucky sevens
and the voice that made me cry».

(da Song to Say Goodbye, 'Meds', Placebo, 2006)

Alle spalle

«One fine day, I'm gonna live it all behind;
it wouldn't be so bad if I had more time».

(da Listen Up, 'The Masterplan', Oasis, 1998)

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)

La via della sopravvivenza

«No, non disturbatevi, restate sulla sedia, signori mi presento, sono la commedia.»

«Io sono un buffone, ho fatto il mio dovere, e come premio ho visto la gente.»

(da Viva Zapatero! di Sabina Guzzanti, 2005)
