SOLDIER ON

Hold the line 

Friend of mine 

Sing a song 

Soldier on 

Shine a light 

For me tonight 

Don't be long 

Soldier on 

Who's to say 

That you were right 

And I was wrong 

Soldier on 

Come the day 

Come the night 

I'll be gone 

Soldier on 

RADIO SONG

Take a look
At what I took
A leaf out of everybody's book
We see what you can't see
I'm caught in a trap of my own
Like everybody I know

This won't be played on your radio tonight
This won't be played on your radio tonight
This won't be played on your radio tonight 

Do you all know
Of the emperor's clothes
Walking down an empty road 
We see what you can't see
That's not how I wanna be
Anyhow, everytime, the same dream

This won't be played on your radio tonight
This won't be played on your radio tonight 
This won't be played on your radio tonight 

This won't be played on your radio Show
This won't be played on your radio tonight (oh no)

VINCERE!

Si è proteso su degli abissi. 
Ha rischiato più volte di cadere. 
Ma alla fine non è precipitato. 
In bilico sul vuoto, non ha conosciuto la caduta. 
Ci sono stati cedimenti, sbandamenti, delusioni, scoramenti, 
ma la vita l'ha sempre avuta vinta." 
(P. Besson)

IF I HAD A GUN

If I had a gun
I’d shoot a hole into the sun
And love, I’ll burn this city down for you
If I had the time
I’d stop the world and make you mine
And every day would stay the same with you

If you had the dream
Show you now what might have been
And for the tears you cried will fade away
I’ll be by your side
When they come and say goodbye
We will live to fight another day

Excuse me if I spoke too soon
My eyes have already followed you around the room
‘Cause you’re the only God that I will ever need
I’m holding on
And waiting for the moment to find me

Hope I didn’t speak too soon
My eyes have already followed you around the room
‘Cause you’re the only God that I will ever need
I’m holding on
And waiting for the moment for my heart to be unbroken by the sea

Let me fly you to the moon
My eyes have already followed you around the room
‘Cause you’re the only God that I will ever need
I’m holding on
And waiting for the moment to find me

If I had a gun
I’d shoot a hole into the sun
And love, I’ll burn this city down for you
If I had the time
I’d stop the world and make you mine
And every day would stay the same with you

ILIADE: frammento libro XVI (V.Monti)

Quai crudivori lupi il cor ripieni 

di molta gagliardia, prostrato avendo 

sul monte un cervo di gran corpo e corna, 

sel trangugiano a brani, e sozze a tutti 

rosseggiano di sangue le mascelle: 

quindi calano in branco ad una bruna 

fonte a lambir colle minute lingue 

il nereggiante umor, carne ruttando 

mista col sangue: il cor ne' petti audaci 

s'allegra, e il ventre ne va gonfio e teso: 

tali dintorno al bellicoso amico 

del gran Pelìde intrepidi si affollano 

i mirmidonii capitani; e in mezzo 

a lor s'aggira il marzïale Achille 

i cavalli animando e i battaglieri. 

Forse un mattino andando in un'aria di vetro (Eugenio Montale)

Forse un mattino andando in un'aria di vetro,
arida, rivolgendomi, vedrò compirsi il miracolo:
il nulla alle mie spalle, il vuoto dietro
di me, con un terrore di ubriaco.

Poi come s'uno schermo, s'accamperanno di gitto
alberi case colli per l'inganno consueto.
Ma sarà troppo tardi; ed io me n'andrò zitto
tra gli uomini che non si voltano, col mio segreto.
