Franz Ferdinand - I'm Your Villain

You toss in a word
I'm your villain
I see the passion emerge
I'm your villain
But serious
You're so serious
Like a waiter
Hating the rich
But taking their tips

If I could laugh I'd love you
If I could smile at anything you said
We could be laughing lovers
I think you'd prefer to be miserable instead
If I could love I'd love you

If I could love like anybody else

I know what I am
I'm your villain
I don't give a damn if
I'm your villain
Because serious
You're so serious
But I've got ready salted
ready on your belly
If you want to have fun

See you later baby see you later...

 

Franz Ferdinand - Billy Goodbye (Official Video)

D-d-don't forget the best bits

Bye bye, Billy goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Bye bye, Billy goodbye
Don't get down, look around
Or think about the next bit
Bye bye, Billy goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Aah, ah, aye
Billy goodbye

I can't deny
I thought at last
I can't deny I thought
Auf Wiedersehen steckrübe
Why waste time regrеtting the past
When we can worry about the future?
Havе a very merry future
Byе bye, Billy goodbye
Don't forget the best bits

Bye bye, Billy goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Bye bye, Billy goodbye
Don't get down, look around
Or think about the next bit
Bye bye, Billy goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Aah, ah, aye
Billy goodbye
Billy goodbye

How did it start?
How did it stop?
Details, details
Not the plot
If you walk in
I prefer to walk out
I prefer to walk on
Walk into the future
Have a merry, merry future
Bye bye, Billy goodbye

Maybe it's time to go (oh, oh-oh)
Maybe it's time to go (oh, oh-oh)
Maybe it's time to go (oh, oh-oh)
Maybe it's time to go (oh, oh-oh)
It's time to go

Bye bye, Billy goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Bye bye, Billy goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Bye bye, Billy goodbye
Don't get down, look around
Don't forget the best bits
Aah, ah, aye
Don't forget the best bits
Aah, ah, aye
Don't forget the best bits
Aah, ah, aye
Billy goodbye

Billy goodbye

Silver Surfer di Dan Slott + Franz Ferdinand - The Academy Award

Ci sono storie che ti entrano nel cuore. Perché in esse ci sono, anche, personaggi che ti entrano nel cuore. Nel ciclo di Silver Surfer del tanto vituperato (sull'Uomo Ragno, non qui, né sulla She-Hulk di alcuni anni fa) Dan Slott, disegnata da Mike Allred compare questa favolosa ragazza a pallini, che diventerà la compagnia di viaggi e avventure del surfista argentato (a proposito, Stan: siamo sempre in attesa del "nome migliore" :-P) e che entrerà a far parte dell'immaginario collettivo di tutti i lettori Marvel da qui a sempre, affiancandosi a  Gwen Stacy, Karen Page e tante altre "fidanzate storiche", sorpassando persino la rediviva Shala-Bal.

Il surfista decide di passare con lei tutta la vita, e di seguire di nuovo la sua da capo, per indirizzare lei e sé stesso verso quello che sarà l'errore che porterà alla loro fine. Irrimediabile e obbligatoriamente da ripetere.

Leggevo il volume conclusivo della saga mentre i Franz Ferdinand pubblicavano l'album nuovo, e per associazione di idee mi è rimasta in testa questa canzone:

Show me the body

These pictures will shock you
Love is a drag we don't need anymore
We don't need to score
Show me the body
404
Gateway not found
My wife is such a fine
Show me the body
Show me the body now

We're starring in the movies of our lives
We're starring in the movies of our lives

And the Academy Award for good times goes to you
Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The clamor of applause in every mind
But the Academy Award for good times goes to you

Show me the body, Hikikomori
Through liquid crystal we look at the world
From our parents' homes
Show me the body
The secret of longevity is to stay away from them
Show me the body
Show me the body now

We're starring in the movies of our lives
We're starring in the movies of our lives

And the Academy Award for good times goes to you
Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The clamor of applause in every mind
But the Academy Award for good times goes to you

Show me the body
You never realize how much eight pints are
'Til you see them on the ground
They cover so much ground
Locked up predator
Hunter gatherer
Once rare commodity
Now recently found salt, sugar and fat
There's heavy traffic
Show me the body now

We're starring in the movies of our lives
Starring in the movies of our lives

And the Academy Award for good times goes to you
Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The clamor of applause in every mind
But the Academy Award for good times goes to you, you

Franz Ferdinand - Feel The Love Go

Hey, what's that thing that you're doing?
Hey, what's that thing that you do?
No, you're not that thing that you're doing
For the things that you do are not who you are

Why don't you come over here?
Why don't you come over here?
Why don't you come over here?
Why don't you come over?

Think of a friend (love)
And wish them love
Think of an enemy (more)
And wish them more

See, see the things that you're doing
See, oh see the things that you do
See the things that you do are not who you are

Why don't you come over here?
Why don't you come over here?
Why don't you come over here?
Why don't you come over?

Think of a friend (love)
And wish them love
Think of an enemy (more)
And wish them more
Think of an enemy (love)
Like them, wish them all your love

a proposito do DoLLarumma

è tornato a essere il nostro Gigio

FFS - Collaborations don't work

Sarà che c'ho messo due anni a scoprire l'esistenza di questo album... ma devo dire che mi sta piacendo moltissimo e non riesco a toglierlo dal lettore CD.

Tra le varie canzoni, questa è una di quelle che mi ha colpito di più. Sarà per la misantropia compulsiva che mi sta colpendo da qualche anno in qua...






Collaborations don't work
They don't work, they don't work
Collaborations don't work
They don't work, they don't work
Collaborations don't work
They don't work, they don't work
I'm gonna do it all by myself
I'm gonna do it all by myself
[x2]

Mozart didn’t need a little hack to chart
Warhol didn’t need to ask De Kooning about art
Frank Lloyd Wright always ate à la carte
Wish I had been that smart
Wish I had been that smart

[Chorus]

Collaborations don't work
You start off deferential
And strangely reverential
You both feel it's essential
Collaborations don't work
He's eyeing your new lover
Then one night you discover
Them underneath your covers

Collaborations don't work
Delaying your vacations
To sundrenched island nations
To seek some affirmations
Collaborations don't work
A colon or a comm
And then a drawn-out drama
Bring in the Dalai Lama

Where is this damn thing a-goin'?
Where is this going, someone tell me
Starlight, rub off on me
Star bright, rub off on me
[x2]

I don't need your patronizing
I don't need your agonizing
I don't need your navel gazing
I don't get your way of phrasing
I don't think you're really trying
What, pray tell, are you implying?

I ain't no collaborator
I am the partisan
Rebel in the rocks with dirty trousers, broken pistol in the hand
I ain't no collaborator
Hack my scalp if you think I am
I am a sadistic young usurper, a hand on your neck
Hand on your lover, oh, give the man a hand
I ain't no collaborator
I ain't no collaborator
I am the master, independent
If I ever need a father, it won't be you, old man

FFS - Call Girl

Tipo che tu vai ad acquistare accessori necessari per il connubio macchina/cellulare e passi nel reparto musica a cercare una cosa (i Gorillaz) e ne trovi un'altra.
Ossia:
sotto l'etichetta "Ferdinand, Franz" (sigh!) un disco intitolato FFS che inizialmente pensia sia un album nuovo intitolato:
 Franz Ferdinand - Sparks
poi invece cerchi sull'internetto e trovi che è un disco del 2015 (quindi, sì, me lo sono lasciato sfuggire come già mi lasciai sfuggire un disco dei Kaizer Chiefs nel 2011 e lo scoprii l'autunno scorso) che i FF hanno fatto insieme a tali Sparks (ammetto la mia ignoranza in riguardo... cercherò).
Così, acquistato questo team-up musicale, me lo sto godendo in questo giorni.
É una sorta di disco dei FF potenziato

I'm waiting by the loading dock for you

A TV and guitar in hock for you

Come on, girl

Come on and give me a ring

Come on, girl

Pick up and ring

Come on and pick up and

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

I gave up blow and adderall for you

So I'd have dough and spend it all on you

So call, girl

Come on and give me a ring

Call, girl

Pick up and ring

Come on and pick up and

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

I realize it's me who makes advances

All advances

And I realize arrangements come from me

It's me, it's me, it's me who always wants to meet

So come on, girl

Come on and pick up and ring

Come on, girl

Pick up and ring

Come on and pick up and

When I call on you, everything is good again

And everything and everything

I don't need to say anything, it's understood

Again, anything and everything

I don't ask, I don't need an answer

I hear your [?] in different [?]

Rise and rise, I lead

I lead and then again it's

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

So call, girl

Come on and give me a ring

Call, girl

Pick up and ring

Come on and pick up and

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

Why don't you call, girl?

Franz Ferdinand - Right... tutto!

Sono tornati, dopo 4 anni dall'ultimo disco, i Franz Ferdinand. L'indefinibile (in senso buono) band scozzese propone un doppio album: nel primo disco 10 nuove canzoni, nel secondo differenti versioni di 7 delle suddette, più 4 nuove versioni di canzoni già note. Sì, insomma, non è che si siano sprecati. Ma il risultato nel complesso è buono: viene difficile scegliere tra le due versioni delle canzoni "doppie", e un po' ci viene voglia di sentire cosa avrebbero combinato con le tre non replicate.

Lo stile del disco è simile a quello di Tonight, per me il disco migliore della band (che fatica: con questo sono quattro, in totale) ed è sicuramente un prodotto di buona fattura ma che non fa gridare al capolavoro. Lo è invece il video postato qui sopra. Delirante al punto giusto, contiene di tutto un po'. Forse faremmo prima a dire cosa non contiene. Dopo Baustelle, David Bowie ed Elio, un altro grande album per questo 2013 musicale.

dark of the matinee, la cover spagnola di coco freeman

En los supines
los botones van
mi chaqueta ahora está
Conviertes
suave en mi interior
y al rededor no hay
si no tu
y todo eres tu
Tu mirar, tu mirar

Sigue tras de mi del corredor al comedor
Y anda de vez de dejar
Tu fabrica academica
Buscame en la matinee
En esta oscura matinee
Lo bueno de la matinee
Es que es mia la matinee
Veras
Fueras

Preparo viajes
Para encontrarte a ti
En un encuentro casual
Quiero contarte
Quienes me hacen odiar
Canciones para odiar
Palabras para odiar
Las ropas para odiar
Y como no sere algo para odiar
Mas tu sonrisa habla de vivir
Haciendo nada mas
Cosas que sueles amar

Sigue tras de mi del corredor al comedor
Y anda de vez de dejar
Tu fabrica academica
Buscame en la matinee
En esta oscura matinee
Lo bueno de la matinee
Es que es mia la matinee
Veras
Fueras

Y ahora estoy en la radio (Estoy cantando en la radio)
Y cuento a Terry Wogan como lo hice yo
Mis saltos no son claros (y no es tan claro en la radio)
Y el se echa a reír diferente a mi
Mi risa y mi hablar son tan simples hoy (y es tan simple hoy)
Es tan fácil hoy
Tan sencillo hoy

Sigue tras de mi del corredor al comedor
Y anda de vez de dejar
Tu fabrica academica
Buscame en la matinee
En esta oscura matinee
Lo bueno de la matinee
Es que es mia la matinee
Sigue tras de mi del corredor al comedor
Y anda de vez de dejar
Tu fabrica academica
Buscame en la matinee
En esta oscura matinee
Lo bueno de la matinee
Es que es mia la matinee
Veras
Fueras

i Franz Ferdinand e la teoria della materia...

da "Tonight", il più bell'album del 2009, analizziamo insieme il testo di due canzoni dei Franz Ferdinand:

No You Girls

Oh, kiss me
Lick your cigarette, then kiss me
Kiss me where your eye won’t meet me
Meet me where your mind won’t kiss me

Lick your eyes and mine and then hit me
Hit me with your eyes so sweetly
Oh, you know you know you know that yes I love
I mean I’d love to get to know you

Do you never wonder?
No, no no no

You girls never know
Oh no, you girls’ll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
You girls never know
Oh no, you girls’ll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy

Oh, kiss me
Lick your cigarette, then kiss me
Kiss me where your eye won’t meet me
Meet me where your eye won’t lick me
Lick your mind and mine so briefly
Oh you know, you know you’re so sweetly
Oh you know, you know that I know that I love you
I mean I, I mean I need to love

Do you never wonder?
No, no no no

You girls never know
Oh no, you girls’ll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
You girls never know
Oh no, you girls’ll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy

Sometimes I say stupid things
That I think
Well, I mean I
Sometimes I think the stupidest things
Because I never wonder
Oh how the girl feels
Oh how the girl feels

No you boys never care
Oh no you boys’ll never care
No you boys never care
How the girl feels
No you boys never care
You dirty boys’ll never care
No you boys never care
How the girl feels

Oh how the girl feels
Oh how the girl feels

Katherine Kiss Me

Katherine kiss me
Slippy little lips will split me
Split me where your eye won't hit me
Yes, I love you
I mean, I- I'd love to get to know you

Sometimes I say the stupid things
I think
I mean, I- sometimes think the stupidest things

Do you ever wonder
How the boy feels

Katherine kiss me
Flick your cigarette then kiss me
Flick your eyes at mine so briefly
Your leather jacket lies in sticky pools of cider blackberry

You glance a ricochet from every alpha male behind me
Eyes
Like marbles on a washing machine

I wonder
How the boy feels

Katherine kiss me
In the alleyway by Jakey's
Jack in the sodium light
Yes, I love you
I mean, I- I mean, I- need to love

And though your opened eyes stare
Bored upon the overflowing pipes above me
Tonight
I don't mind
Because I never wonder
How the girl feels



autoplagio? autocitazionismo? rindondanza? gli pareva una bella idea e l'hanno riproposta? oppure dovevano chiudere l'album e non sapevano cosa fare? oppure volevano vedere se stavamo attenti?

Ad ogni modo: nulla si crea, nulla si distrugge!

you can't feel it anymore!!!

Credo si sia capito quanto mi piaccia questo gruppo!
Questo videoclip è geniale!!!!
(ass wipes= salviettine per il culo :-P)
((e il gilerino bucato lo metterò anche io per andare al lavoro))


My soul starts spinning again
I can't stop feeling
No, I won't stop feeling
And the fun's not fun anymore
I can't stop feeling
No, I won't stop feeling

And you leave me here on my own
Yeah you leave me here on the floor
You can't feel it
And you can't feel it
You can't feel it
And you can't feel anymore

Dooo-doo-doo, doo-doo-do-doo...

Soul boy, down and alone
And his soul is broken again
But you can't stop moving
No you won't stop moving along
Aaaaah...

My soul starts spinning again
I can't stop feeling
No, I don't stop feeling
And we're not 'us' anymore
I can't stop feeling
No, I won't stop feeling

And you leave me dancing alone
Yeah you leave me to die on the floor
You can't feel it
No you can't feel it
You can't feel it
And you can't feel anymore
Feel anymore, feel anymore
Feel anymore

Dooo-doo-doo, doo-doo-do-doo...

Soul boy, down and alone
And his soul is broken again
But you can't stop moving
No, you won't stop moving along
Aaaaah...

Can't stop moving
Oh I can't stop feeling
Can't stop feeling
No I can't stop feeling

And you can't feel it
And you can't feel it
You can't feel it
And you can't feel anymore

Soul boy, down and alone
And his soul is broken again
