Mando Diao - Jeanette

Jeanette my love don't use the elevator
Don't climb and rise don't lick it in the times of war
Tell him that I was more than him in the bed
My hands are bigger and I'm taller as well
Catch me little girl don't try to run,
Don't try to hide yourself from Mr D.
Fill me with waterfalls and mystery,
Forsake me even break me I don't care

Jeanette you've got a habit of leaving boys
The glamour and the toys were all forbidden
I've got no choice at home when it gets dark
I'm lying in my bed and thinking

She's got it all, she's got it better than me
Better than me, right She's got it all, she's got it better than me
Better than me and I'm deep down, down in misery

Jeanette my love don't tease the alligator
Animal-lover needs a cigarette
Tell me that I was more than him in the end
My jealous little thing comes up again
Jeanette she's full of dirt she's full of hurt
Her glamour and the boys were all forgotten
But I've got no choice at home when it gets dark
I'm lying in my bed and thinking

She's got it all, she's got it better than me...

She's got it all, she's got it better than me...

Slipknot - FORTE NERO

Non è il mio genere, in genere,
però questa contaminazione con il controcanto un po' pop addolcisce e pop-pizza il tutto e lascia un effetto un po' straniante.

Watch this

I'm never enough
You bled me dry, using me up
Dissatisfied, and used
Another key to the empty spot in you
I'm sick as a fuck, I'm in my prime
What do you want? I guess it's time to see
If you're laughing now, you'll find no peace
Ooh, wait and wait and feel
I haven't felt like this in years
Not much left, so uprooted
Fist clenched tight in the pockets of my hoodie
And I know where I need to go
But the voice of reason can't say no
It's in the eyes and heart
Just the latest psycho off the charts
That's what you do best

A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best

I know, and even if I didn't
I would lie so many would believe it
Stand up and resist the chains
Of all the people in belligerent sick restraint
I wasn't enough, you bled me dry
Which way is up? Oh, you're a lie
And a fake, I hope that truth is not too late
That's what you do best

A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best

That's what you do best
That's what you do best
That's what you do best (hahahaha)
(Why) Why was it easy for you?
(Did) Did I deserve the abuse?
(I) I can't believe I let it
(Not) Not what I wanted
(See) See through your bullshit
(Your) You're so dramatic
(True) True to your form of
(Face) Every consequence
(Un-) Unintimidated
(-til) 'Til the very end
(It) It'll never happen
(Was) Was it all a lie?
(Too) Many motherfuckin'
(Late) That's what you do best
(Lie) That's what you do best
(Lie) That's what you do best
That's what you do best

A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
A home like yours is upside down
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best

That's what you do
That's what you do best, yeah
(What you do best) Yeah
(What you do best)
(What you do best)
(What you do best)
(What you do best)
That's what you do best
That's what you do best

the HU - Wolf Totem

cose buona dalla Mongolia

If lions come, we'll tear up each other until the death

If tigers come, we'll tear up each other in a battle

If elephants come, we'll tear up and beat up each other

If humans come, we'll tear up and obliterate each other

 

We, If lions come, tear up each other until the death

If tigers come, we'll tear up each other in a battle

If elephants come, we'll tear up and beat up each other

If humans come, we'll tear up and obliterate each other

 

If you come as a viper,

We'll become Garuda birds and fly over you

If you come as an angry tiger,

We'll become Lions with a blue mane

 

Hu - Hu - Hu - Hu

Hu - Hu - Hu - Hu

 

If you with come with evil intentions, we'll compete in a fight

 

As a tenth, we will strike you as thunder

As a hundredth, we will strike you at your hearts

As a thousandth, we will strike and obliterate you

As a the thousandth, we will strike you from the sky

 

Hu - Hu - Hu - Hu

Hu - Hu - Hu - Hu

 

If you come like a flood, we'll fight until the death

If you come swarming, we'll tear up and scatter each other

If you come flying, we'll shoot you down with our archery

If you come charging, we'll slice you with our swords

 

Hu - Hu - Hu - Hu

Hu - Hu - Hu - Hu

 

Let's cut through them with the speed of falcons

Let's burn and ignite within with the wolfs will

Let's trample with our horses!

Let's defeat them with the wisdom of the great Chinggis!

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
