Babele, Babilonia, o nessuno

"Non riesco a sfuggire a me stesso"

So many feelings
Pent up in here
Left alone I'm with
The one I most fear
I'm sick and I'm tired
Of reasoning
Just want to break out
Shake off this skin
I can't escape myself
All my problems
Loom larger than life
I can't swallow
Another slice
Seems like my shadow
Marks every stride
Can't learn to live with
What's trapped inside
I can't escape myself
So many feelings
Pent up in here
Left alone I'm with
The one I most fear
I'm sick and I'm tired
Of reasoning
Just want to break out
Shake off this skin
I can't escape myself

Come in una cascata

Un freddo che non passa dal 1984

Effetto placebo

You dip your hands into my flesh

And say you won't reveal a scar

I must have faith in this procedure

It's a miracle - It's a wonder

A thousand hidden needles

In a thousand covered nerves

Stick pins in my receptacles

Look to your Voodoo doll-your mojo

Staying alive at five

For you to cure my ailments

Another soul is saved

With your bogus medications

What colour shall we have today?

Depends on how you feel I say

Consult your research on the media

See blue will calm my hysteria

Staying alive at five

For you to cure my ailments

Another soul is saved

With your bogus medications

Staying alive at five

With your empty containers

Another corpse ornaments your waiting room

Will you ever regret - the placebo effect

Can you ever forget - the placebo effect



Compositori: Mkcay / Morris / Steven Severin / Susan Ballion

I nodi tornano al pettine

se non ti tagli i capelli a zero.

La gioventù se ne è andata

Una canzone lunga una notte

Dura quasi 10 minuti, questo pezzo-icona, ma per me potrebbe durarne 100, e non ci sarebbero problemi. Anzi.

Le classifiche del 1983

Ora, non è per fare il cinquantenne nostalgico ex punk, ex dark, ex niente, ma nel 1983 se guardavi Top of the Pops ti capitava Siouxsie che fa Dear Prudence dei Beatles con un Robert Smith "fuori come un poggiolo" (dicono a Genova) con una chitarra Vox lussuriosa.

Chi va, chi c'è a Top of the Pops ora?
