[Canzoni di ieri] [Live] Duran Duran / New Religion

Duran Duran - New Religion (1982)

I've been now sauntering

Out and down the path sometime

Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I knew

Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things

Telling me not there, man, it's no go

Don't go there boy

I need a reason

I can't think without one now

Too much learning got to show

Call it treason

Maybe catch her, don't know how

Too many things, too much to know

Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind

Lady screaming, lady leave me out

'Cause sometimes people stare

Coming down, electric chair

And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

Don't know why this evil bothers me

Take another chance boy, carry the fight,

You can take him if you're fast

So why is he trying to follow me?

Didn't I say if you're holding on

You'd be laughing at the last

How many reasons do they need?

I get along fine with them friends of mine

But you have to make a choice

I might just believe this time

You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time

And it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself,

It's a new religion

I've something to see, I can't help myself,

It's a new religion

Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun

But someone sees the departmental lie

You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife

Only get one look before you die

Don't know why this evil bothers me

Take another chance boy, carry the fight,

You can take him if you're fast

So why is he trying to follow me?

Didn't I say if you're holding on

You'd be laughing at the last

How many reasons do they need?

I get along fine with them friends of mine

But you have to make a choice

I might just believe this time

You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time

And it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself,

It's a new religion

I've something to see, I can't help myself,

It's a new religion

Gotta take pay the saints 'n sinners

In regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things

Walking in formation down the lane,

They carry their cross, make a church bell ring

Army majors pull a mean cool truth,

There lying in a swimming pool

Searching for the undeniable truth that

A man is just a fool

Don't know why this evil bothers me

Take another chance boy, carry the fight,

You can take him if you're fast

So why is he trying to follow me?

Didn't I say if you're holding on

You'd be laughing at the last

How many reasons do they need?

I get along fine with them friends of mine

But you have to make a choice

I might just believe this time

You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time

And it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself,

It's a new religion

I've something to see, I can't help myself,

It's a new religion

[Canzoni di ieri] [Live] The Psychedelic Furs / Love my way

Mi dispiaceva non dare spazio in questo blog ad uno dei miei grandi amori adolescenziali, The Psychedelic Furs, dei quali avevo tutti gli album fino a Midnight to Midnight (1987). Alcune cose, come il sassofono, non si possono davvero più sentire, ma le canzoni sono ancora bellissime e mi sono trovata in imbarazzo a scegliere quale video postare. A Richard Butler, che bello non è mai stato, va dato atto di essere invecchiato veramente bene, diversamente da tanti suoi colleghi diventati panzoni. Certo, sono passati 25 anni, e vederli in concerto magari insieme a Echo and the Bunnymen a proporre le loro vecchie cose mi mette malinconia, perciò ho scelto un live dell'epoca.

The Psychedelic Furs - Love my Way live (da Forever Now 1982)

There's an army on the dance floor
It's a fashion with a gun my love
In a room without a door
A kiss is not enough in

Love my way, It's a new road
I follow where my mind goes

They'd put us on a railroad
They'd dearly make us pay
For laughing in their faces
And making it our way
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all
And take us all apart
But not in

Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes (x3)

Swallow all your tears my love
And put on your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don't run the race
