C'era un tempo, un tempo non lontano in cui mio nonno, provato dalla guerra, come già vi ho raccontato in altri luoghi, fu costretto a nutrirsi di un esemplare della razza felina.
Per anni fu apostrofato dai suoi amici e vicini con "miaooo, miaooo" piuttosto sospetti che lo facevano rabbrividire e ripensare a quel coniglio melenso servitogli anni addietro, quando nel cielo imperversavano gli aerei gravidi di bombe e a terra il massimo che potevi sognare era una bella polenta.

Bene, quei "miaooo, miaooo" equivoci io li ho ritrovati, e l'effetto madeleine è molto inquietante, nel nuovissimo cd delle Cocorosie... dolce contrappunto all'unghia incarnita che si evolve pezzo per pezzo nelle estasi di un pianoforte scordato accoppiatosi con un pony audioleso.
Non serve l'apporto di gaia Gayetudine di sua eccellenza "Antonio e i Giovanni" per risollevare l'effetto diabete mellito... suppura il testicolo alla seconda traccia e la ghiandola pineale si domanda: "Ma quella che canta è forse Marisa Laurito?".
E anche qui la medeleine mi riporta ai campi elisi dei "Piccoli Fans", un programma cui ho sempre anelato partecipare... non ce l'ho mai fatta.
E forse è per questo che non riesco a farmi piacere le Cocorosie: io sono arrabbiato.

Parliamo dei giocattolini: ma quanti, troppi; ma che bei giocattolini. E il gospel. ahhhh, io non resisto; quando sento il gospel mi viene voglia di provarci colla vicina: una povera signora sovrappeso ma estremamente simpatica, certo la immagineresti con un fiorellino infilato sopra l'orecchio e la vocina chioccia mentre ti si avvicina cantando "Armageddon" ...in pratica un furore da nosocomio con una bambina lobotomizzata che ripete indefessa una filastrocca per deficienti... mentre sullo sfondo scoppiettano gli strumenti, incredibilmente inusuali, di queste due dee dell'ossessione emicranica.

Ecco, l'esempio più calzante per questa musica: voi sdraiati su un fianco, concentrati su un punto del soffitto per farvi passare il fottuto mal di testa... il senso di nausea, il dolore... dio mio deve passare, deve passare, e sotto, come una danza tribale di putti in calore avete Bianca Cassidy, o come cazzo si chiama, che gratta le sue corde vocali e spreme la sua scarsissima intelligenza per fracassarvi l'ultimo barlume di speranza.
Appendete i "moment" al chiodo, le geniali sorelle Cassidy sono arrivate e vi scuoteranno il muco sulla fronte; penetreranno nei vostri padiglioni auricolari e vi testeranno la resistenza biblica... Giobbe, la lettura del suo libro, potrebbe aiutarvi. Davvero.
Ossessione, ecco il termine adatto. Rumori di fondo; borbottii; se questo è fare musica allora anch'io domani mi chiuderò nel mio fantasmagorico gabinetto, nella mia jacuzzi, la bocca spalmata contro il bocchettone a borbottare parola incomprensibili mentre il mio gatto, salvo grazie al cielo, batte il ritmo, a caso, con le sue zampe sul lavabo.

In una parola: che palle ragazzi! Che palle. Puro spurgo uterino maleodorante spacciato per innovazione, perché ormai basta sbattere su disco tutte le idee balzane che ti passano in testa per far dire ai critici: "Acciderboli. Seminale. Eccezionale. Poetico". Ma due palle no? Due palle non si può dire? Bene, questo disco è una rottura di zebedei bella e buona. Si salva solo "Brazilian Love Song" con il suo tiro da musica per intervalli televisivi... quelli con le pecore e il nome della città, ve li ricordate?
Io lo sconsiglio, come lo scolo. Mio parere opinabile.

01   K-Hole ()

Tiny spirit in a k-hole
Bloated like soggy cereal
God will come and wash away
Our tattoos and all the cocaine
And all of the aborted babies
Will turn into little bambies

Wounded river push along
Searching for that desert song
And mozart's requiem will play
On tiny spearkers made of clay
Tell my mother that i love her
Martin luther you're an angel

Charming monkey saunter swagger
Drunken donkey limbs disjointed
Your chest is a petting zoo
Mexican pony fucked up shoes
I dreamt one thousand basketball courts
Nothing holier than sports

Dragonfly kiss your tail
Precious robot built so frail
Universe of milk and ember
Your hot kiss in mid december
What's god name i can't remember
Trough the crack eye lovely weather

02   Beautiful Boyz ()

Those, those beautiful boys
Those, those beautiful boys

Born illegitimately
To a whore, most likely
He became an orphan
Oh what a lovely orphan he was
Sent to the reformatory
Ten years old, was his first glory
Got caught stealing from a nun
Now his love story had begun

Thirty years he spent wandering
A devil's child with dove wings
He went to prison
In every country he set foot in
Oh how he loved prison
How awfully lovely was prison

All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

His greatest love was executed
The pure romance was undisputed
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones

All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys
Beautiful boys...
All those beautiful boys
Beautiful boys...

Those beautiful boys...

Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight

We don't need no baseball bats
We don't need no silver ghats
But we're gonna fight tonight
Put up your dukes and fight
Big brother's just standing on the side
Watching you flex your pride
But you know if they all jump in
Big brother's got your skin

The ice cream truck it sings no more
All the kids from school are keeping score
You swing and you duck and you hit the floor
But you gotta get up at least once more
Mama comes screaming down the stairs
Everybody looks but nobody scares
Mama can't believe that nobody care
It's her baby boy how do they dare
Mama says bitch come over here
If you're so tough you'll have no fear
But why's you bring your friends
And the whole damn school
To watch my baby boy go down like a fool

But brother says mama they're the same damn size
Got to let him grow up and get street wise
But mama says baby go get that bat
And come back down and beat some ass

Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight

One wrong move and it'll be too late
Mama won't be making no birthday cake
It all went down one afternoon
In Brooklyn

04   Bear Hides and Buffalo ()

Lead canoes collide inside
Pocahontas came to me in a reverie
War paint and tobacco stains
Piss on the earth
A pile of dead men
A pile of dead dead men

Bare hides and buffalo
Mildew with fever
In a time of wintryness
Naked bronze trembling queen
Stolen from Egypt
Buried in England
Island of the blue dolphin

05   Tekno Love Song ()

I fell in love with a bad bad man
Ever since I met him I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jail bird to your music
I'm a criminal in your prayer
I watch you in your sleep even when you're not there
Rainbows wept color all over the streets
When you went away maybe one day we'll meet
Lip stick I'd wear for one million years
Just to stop your eyes from falling them tears

I fell in love with a bad bad man
Ever since I met him I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jail bird to your music
I'm a criminal in your prayer
I watch you in your sleep even when you're not there
Rainbows wept color all over the streets
When you went away maybe one day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day yes maybe we'll meet

06   The Sea Is Calm ()

The sea is calm through the video camera
Like a dead light bulb
In a bucket of water
Yes in a bucket of water

The sea is calm through hand made lenses
Like animals in soundless dream
Like animals in bottles of butter
A miniature sailboat tin foil and paper
The waves are big and there's a warm wind

He's in the spotlight of a broken sun
He dropped his body like an anchor
Like a lump of sugar
And he dissolved

On the anniversary of his death
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale

09   Armageddon ()

And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

Let's all gather at Time Square
And lets all say a prayer
To Walter Disney and Mike Tyson
At Madison Square Garden

And the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

And Jesus said they're a girl's best friend
And hell they'll last forever
And Jesus said now take her hand
And raise this harlot's bastard sun

And the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

And afterwards we'll all go to hell
When the money's all spent
When the money's all gone
There'll be a place for us in Heaven's gate
Waiting for us on lay away

And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

And oh what a pity the world's not white
And oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If I made the world it would be all white

And oh what a pity the world's not white
And oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If I made the world it would be all white

Cuando el sol cambia color
Cuando el sol cambia su color...

11   Bisounours ()

Il fut un temps où rien n'était éteint
Où seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure
Et alors j'étais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence
Dans ce décor je me sens perdu, rien n'a plus de sens
Mais j'ai encore quelques rêves et si tant est que j'aie le temps
J'irai caresser leurs lèvres
J'ai encore quelques rêves
Et si tant est que j'aie le temps j'irai caresser leurs lèvres
Il fut un temps où rien n'était éteint
Où seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure
Et alors j'étais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence
Dans ce décor je me sens perdu, car rien n'a plus de sens

Si le temps avance trop
Je me sens de taille

Je suis un enfant
Je refuse le temps

Je regarde le ciel et cet arc-en-ciel qui m'apaise
Je regarde la lumière et puis j'erre dans mes rêves

Oublier le temps
Rester un enfant
There was a time when nothing was unlit
When only the gold of my heart would give the time
And then I was strong but I have lost the flower and the innocence
In this setting I feel lost ’cause nothing has got anymore sense
I still have a few dreams as long as i’m given enough time
I’ll go and caress their lips
I still have a few dreams
As long as i’m given enough time, I’ll go and carress their lips
There was a time when nothing was unlit
When only the gold of my heart would give the time
And then I was strong but I have lost the flower and the innocence
In this setting I feel lost ’cause nothing has got anymore sense

If the time is running too fast
I feel like I can do it

I am a child
I refuse time

I watch the sky and this rainbow alleviate myself
I watch the light and then I wander in my dreams

Forget the time
Keep being a child

12   Honey or Tar ()

I undressed you with my eyes i have
Maybe even raped you
In a dark and eerie corner of my mind
I tucked you there
And touched you in a dream last night
Pushed you aside when you entered
My thoughts at the wrong time
I have sat up upon your lap and
Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes
I rode you on a chair and in the shower
And all the while i clung heavy to your back
My desire deeply harnessed in your spine


While I squeezed you like a tree trunk
You may have been one
Sexless and comfort in your mind
Even barer than a child's

I'm riding recklessly through a thick and humid
Jungle growing anxious with the deep and primal
Yearning that stirs
Deeply pulsing up toward the surface
Like sap rising or honey or tar
