Bridge over troubled water, 1968

…Sail on silvergirl, sail on by. Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way. See how they shine if you need a friend I’m sailing right behind…

Paul simon

Alabama 3

Woke up this morning, 1997

…Sweet chocolate biscuits and red rosy apples in summer For it's hay make and "Hey mom, do the papers say anything good. Are there chances in life for little Dirt Cowboys Should I make my way out of my home in the woods" Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing City slick Captain Fantastic the feedback The honey the hive could be holding For there's weak winged young sparrows that starve in the winter Broken young children on the wheels of the winners And the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers are thinning…

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, 1975

words: Bernie Taupin – music: Elton John

…When you woke up this morning everything you had was gone. By half past ten your head was going ding-dong. Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes, like a voice telling you there was something you should know. Last night you were flying but today you're so low - ain't it times like these that make you wonder if you'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to the others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you didn't think beyond the next paycheck and the next little drink' Well you do so make up your mind to go on, 'cos when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone…

…Can you hear what I'm saying Can you see the parts that I'm playing "Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie, Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie" So you found your solution What will be your last contribution? "Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy? Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy, Yeah!"

Fool’s overture, 1977

Roger Hodgson

You are walking You've always been walking Stumbling half-blinded And dry as the wind That strafes you and leaves you To lie in the sand And the wall stretches endless beside you to nowhere This wall that you've been trying to cross for years This fence made of tears No one hears---

David Crosby

The wall song, 1973

Bob Dylan

Changing of the guards, 1978

…Y todo a media luz, que es un brujo el amor, a media luz los besos, a media luz los dos... Y todo a media luz, crepusculo interior, que suave terciopelo la media luz de amor. Juncal doce veinticuatro, telefonea sin temor; de tarde, te con masitas, de noche, tango y amor; los domingos, te danzante, los lunes, desolación. Hay de todo en la casita: almohadones y divanes como en botica... coco…

Sixteen years, Sixteen banners united over the field Where the good shepherd grieves. Desperate men, desperate women divided, Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves. Fortune calls. I stepped forth from the shadows, to the market place, Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down. She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born, On midsummer's eve, near the tower. The cold-blooded moon. The captain waits above the celebration Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid Whose ebony face is beyond communication. The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid. They shaved her head. She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo. A messenger arrived with a black nightingale. I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow, Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil…

A media luz, 1925

We almost lost Detroit, 1977

…The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features…

…The sherrif of Monroe county had, sure enough disasters on his mind, and what would karen Silkwood say if she was still alive? That when it comes to people’s safety money wins out every time. and we almost lost Detroit this time, this time. How would we ever get over over loosing our minds?...

I am the walrus, 1967

…Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun. If the sun don't come, you get a tan from Standing in the English rain. I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob…

Revolution, 1968

Lennon/McCartney

Lennon/McCartney

…You say you got a real solution Well you know We'd all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution Well you know We're doing what we can…

…Put on your colors and run come see Everybody's sayin' that music's for free Take off your clothes and lie in the sun Everybody's sayin' that music's for fun…

We will rock you, 1977

…Buddy you're a young man hard man Shoutin' in the street gonna take on the world some day You got blood on yo' face You big disgrace Wavin' your banner all over the place Singin' …

Writing, 1975

Quanto verde tutto intorno a ancor piú in là, sembra quasi un mare l'erba, e leggero il mio pensiero vola e va ho quasi paura che si perda… …Ma intanto il sole tra la nebbia filtra già: il giorno come sempre sarà

Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Bless you wherever you are, Windswept child on a shooting star, Restless Spirits depart, Still we're deep in each other's hearts…

…We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind But don't disturb us if you hear us trying To instigate the structure of another line or two Cause writing's lighting up And I like life enough to see it through

…E un cavallo pezzato di nero compare nel buio tocca a lui, innocente, di aprire la lunga teoria. E la donna biondissima e nuda che cammina di fianco, non c'èdubbio è la sua segretaria che porta sulla schiena bianchissima le autofatture lei amava il Marchese ancor prima di fargli da schiava e due negri in livrea celestina le frustano il seno. Poi due fari al limone attraversano il buio e una luce azzurrina sul tetto che gira fa capire al mio scarso vedere che è una pantera della polizia. E poi dietro una fila interrotta da un solo rumore, sono uomini e spazzaneve della stradale… …E le lacrime confondono il cuore dal proprio dovere. "Dov'è andato dov'è andato il coraggio spavaldo di un bracconiere". La pietà mi fa dire di no a un leone che fugge. II grilletto è bloccato dal ghiaccio "Non voglio vedere". Uno sparo... Riecheggia tremante per tutta la valle. "Polizia uccide cacciatore di frodo sulla terra comasca". Lo stambecco felice e ubriaco vola lontano e la nebbia delusa e sconfitta se ne va... piano, piano.

Lo stambecco ferito, 1974

…That love of yours, to miss that love is something I'd hate. I'll make an early start, I'm making sure that I'm not late. For you sweet top lip I'm in the queue, baby, I'm in love with you…

Old brown shoe, 1968

George Harrison

Antonello Venditti

Mamunia, 1974

The Rain Comes Falling From The Sky, It Fills The Streams That Fill The Sea And That's Where Life Began For You And Me, So The Next Time You See Rain It Ain't Bad, Don't Complain It Rains For You, The Next Time You See L.A. Rainclouds, Don't Complain It Rains For You And Me…

Paul McCartney

Non mi rompete, 1973

musica: V. Nocenzi testo: F. Di Giacomo, V. Nocenzi

…Non mi svegliate ve ne prego ma lasciate che io dorma questo sonno, c'è ancora tempo per il giorno quando gli occhi si imbevono di pianto, i miei occhi... di pianto

Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late Ah but sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one …

Only the good die young, 1976

Billy Joel

…How long have I been sleeping How long have I been drifting alone through the night How long have I been running for that morning flight Through the whispered promises and the changing light Of the bed where we both lie…

Take the long way home, 1981

Jackson Browne

Late for the Sky, 1973

…But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery All the greenery is comin down, boy And then your wife seems to think you're part of the Furniture oh, its peculiar, she used to be so nice…

…All this misery and this cryin' Ain't no knowin' what to do You got circuitry that's fryin' all This worryin' about you Need a man knows how to fight Get it over, get it right…

…That limousine in which you made the scene suits you to a 'T' if all you want to be is somebody that don't never walk. That big chateau where you wanna go in the south of France, gonna end our big romance. Don't you do it. Honey, don't leave L. A., that Riviera is so far away. Begging you s'il vous plait, they don't know nothing down in St. Tropez. Baby don't leave L. A…

…And that cigarette haze has ecology beat As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street `Cause the steams in the boiler the coals in the fire If you ask how I am then I'll just say inspired If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side Then you're better off dead if you haven't yet died …

Better off dead, 1975

Stephen Stills

words: Bernie Taupin – music: Elton John

…I'm not going to stand on the end of the pier I'm not going to let you go down with the ship Raise up your anchor it's time to set sail And I'm not going to let you go down…

Keep a fire burning in your eye Pay attention to the open sky You never know what will be coming down I dont remember losing track of you You were always dancing in and out of view I must have thought you'd always be around Always keeping things real by playing the clown Now you're nowhere to be found…

Shaky town, 1972

Now the seats are all empty Let the roadies take the stage Pack it up and tear it down Theyre the first to come and last to leave Working for that minimum wage Theyll set it up in another town Tonight the people were so fine They waited there in line And when they got up on their feet they made the show And that was sweet But I can hear the sound Of slamming doors and folding chairs And thats a sound they’ll never know… …But the only time that seems too short Is the time that we get to play People you've got the power over what we do You can sit there and wait Or you can pull us through Come along, sing the song You know you cant go wrong cause when that morning sun comes beating down Youre going to wake up in your town But well be scheduled to appear A thousand miles away from here

Wonderwall, 1995

…And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding…

Noel Gallagher

…I've heard all those hard luck tales From all of you U.S. males I've heard you tell those lies about the love you've know And I've followed those highway signs And I've run down those thin white lines Like those drivers this old road is all I call my own…

She bathes me in sweetness I cannot reveal For sharing dreams I need my woman This humble expression meagerly dressed My eyes so mean it has no meaning But jealous night and all her secret chords I must be deaf on the telephone I need my love to translate…

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son" Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on" God say, "No." Abe say, "What?" God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but The next time you see me comin' you better run" Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?" God says, "Out on Highway 61.”..

… Have you heard the news? The dogs are dead! You better stay home And do as youre told. Get out of the road if you want to grow old

…Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors And the boys try to look so hard The amusement park rises bold and stark Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist I wanna die with you wendy on the streets tonight In an everlasting kiss…

Echoes, 1968

… And I can only play that part And sit and nurse my broken heart … Now no-ones knocked upon my door For a thousand years, or more All made up and nowhere to go Welcome to this one man show Just take a seat, they're always free No surprise, no mystery In this theatre that I call my soul I always play the starring role …

So lonely, 1977

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes inviting and insighting me to rise and through the window in the wall come streaming in on sunlight wings a million bright ambassadors of morning and no one sings me lullabies and no one makes me close my eyes so I throw the windows wide and crawl to you across the sky
