1) Salgo su un autobus affollato a Tel Aviv: a fianco a me c'è un giovane dall'aspetto agitato di nome Ahmed con un cinturone legato in vita che continua a emettere frasi sconnesse circa un giardino con 72 vergini.
2) Esco con una ragazzina che mi porta a casa sua promettendomi le peggio porcate sadomaso. Io accetto di buon grado, infogliato come un caimano andaluso. E' solo mentre lei mi incappuccia e mi lega a dei fili elettrici che mi rendo conto che la fanciulla in questione altri non è se non Lynnie England, la carceriera di Abu Grahib.
3) Comincio a leggere, obbligato dalla mia ragazza, l'ultimo libro di Moccia e scopro con raccapriccio che non riuscirò più a raggiungere un orgasmo completo finchè non scoprirò se Step si riesce a rimettere con Babi.
I tre episodi sopra riportati sono autobiografici e stanno a dimostrare come io sia un vero superggiovane del terzo millennio, pronto ad accettare con abnegazione i rischi che derivano dal mio status. Inutile cercare qualsivoglia consolazione: i democristiani sono sempre al potere, con l'unica
differenza che oggi non c'è più nemmeno il gaudente liftato contro cui cui riversare le mie frustrazioni; se cerco rifugio nella musica scopro che l'Attrezzo ha fatto 74 minuti di disco della madonna (vad'affanculo chi dice il contrario) per dire al che il rapporto di Maynardo con sua madre è simile a quello che aveva Renato Pozzetto con la sua in "Per amare Ofelia" (1974).
Quale balsamo può lenire cotante sofferenze? Quante lettere devo scrivere a Io Donna per farvelo capire? Pensavate che io avessi bisogno di risposte concrete ? Di utopìe rivoluzionarie? Di nuovi subcomandanti Marcos cui affidare le mie vanaglorie? No cazzoni, io volevo solo 4 pisquani che avessero il coraggio di mescolare i My Bloody Valentine con la sigla di Georgie; Sì, caro il mio sociologo il cui nome significa "vaffanculo" in aramaico, io volevo solo un gruppo da poter scrivere senza dover andare a capo, che nella trascirzione italiana avesse l'accento sull'ultima lettera e che parlandone si potesse confondere con i Muse. Io volevo i Miù, brutto tritacazzi, puoi sentire il mio grido accorato dal largo delle plutonie rive?
Poi scopro che suddetta compagine suona proprio nella mia città, in un innocente venerdì di maggio, e allora – mi dico - perché non andare? In fondo è una bella giornata, e dopo tutto sono legittimamaente autorizzato a sbattermene lo sturm-und-drang della lotta transoceanica per la libertà, della minaccia iraniana, della Sars e del travone sotto casa mia che devo riaccompagnare a casa sennò viene menato dai pulotti (che cazzo, almeno fossi pervertito come quel ciellino del mio dirimpettaio, che dopo la messa stura culi brasiliani che è una crema, potrei almeno ricavarci qualcosa di utile); sì tutto sembra giocare a mio favore, i Mew suonano al Rainbow per la ragionevole cifra di 13 sacchi e mi sto già pregustando il loro dream pop incrociato con Cristina D'Avena stonata di MDMA…e cosa ti combinano i giovani pederasti? Annullano il concerto con nemmeno 24 ore di preavviso?? E allora non mi resta che gridare alla congiura, che gettare improperi contro le divinità tutte e sperare che le mie calde lacrime dissetino l'arsura di ingiustizia che imperversa nel mondo.
Tutto quello che voglio dire è che oggi, in questo fottutissimo 2006, lui ti può anche parlare della liberalizzazione dei mercati, della cesura nuomenica nel pensiero kantiano, ma ricordati sempre che nel '41 suo nonno era un soldatino del Reich, mentre il mio cantava inni partigiani, stronza

02 Chinaberry Tree (03:33)
In parallel sea what would I be?
My first love said to me:
"Tears out for the world to see"
I would not be
I did not see the chinaberry tree
Tears out, it would feel so
Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly
Hard now to picture a me
Without a you
"Don't interfere"
Part of her back was frozen
For the remainder of the war
"Don't be concerned"
But I never learned how not to be
As my first love said to me:
"I don't care. I'm not there"
So that I could not sleep
My whole being was falling apart
So that I soon cried out:
"Dear friends, hold me!"
03 Why Are You Looking Grave? (03:50)
Why are you looking grave?
Are you thinking of something to say?
Why are you sitting there?
Are you hoping that someone will stare?
Your mouth is hiding
You've got smiling eyes
Why are you looking grave?
Are you thinking of something to say?
Be I thinking of you?
Your mouth is hiding
You've got smiling eyes
Softly dividing
What they see in your face
From what you feel like inside
Who are all those who greet me?
Does it matter if I know?
Your mouth is hiding
You've got joyless eyes
Softly contriving
All the terrible things
That shook up our hearts enough
04 Fox Cub (01:15)
No more trying
Too much terribleness these days
And what you thought was true
Well, they were lying to you
And made a kid cry
So did you change the locks?
And did you hide the fox cub?
Don't make fun
Because we don't
So did you change the locks?
And did you hide the fox cub?
Don't make fun
Because we don't
05 Apocalypso (04:46)
In nolan time sign
What does the mind cover?
Are we talking?
White is the winter
Care-line, care-lines thumped it up
What are your stories all about?
Carries a weight on her swing
On her swing
Black waves come
And so fear me, December
Sinking in nolan time
I've lost all my pure feelings
The psychiatrist posing as psychologist
When fear predicts
Then doubly the mind suffers
Are we talking?
White is the winter
Care-line, care-lines thumped it up
What are your stories all about?
Carries a weight on her swing
On her swing
Black waves come
And so fear me, December
Sinking
Waltz with me, courageously
We're dancing, dancing
We will not die
Our days are multiplied
And I'm happy again
Care-line, care-lines thumped it up
What are your stories all about?
Carries a weight on her swing
On her swing
06 Special (03:13)
You're special
You're like rocket through me
Ohh, you're special
You're a rocket through me
And I cannot this time
Agarina
You can't say no
Agarina
This time you will go
You're special
You're like a rocket through me
Ohh, you're special
You're a rocket through me
And I cannot this time
There's a taste that you can't shake
But you can't seem to let them go awry
I know you're special
You're a rocket through me
At this surprised
All the time
I know you said to me
And I don't care at the same time
But I'll take you up and down
Address it to you
You're special
You're like rocket through me
Ohh, you're special
You're a rocket to me
And I cannot this time
There's a taste that you can't shake
But you can't seem to let them go awry
I know you're special
You're a rocket through me
At this surprised
All the time
Agarina
You can't say no
Agarina
This time you will go
I know you said to me
And I don't care at the same time
But I'll take you up and down
I just said to you
Honey bee
I know you said to me
I don't care at the same time
And what do you stay to do?
I saw the worst of you
07 The Zookeeper's Boy (04:43)
Are you my lady, are you
My lady are you, are you
My lady are you my lady, are you
My lady are you, are you?
If I don't make it back from the city
Then it is only because I am drawn away
For you see, evidently there's a dark storm coming
And the chain on my swing is squeaking like a mouse, so
Are you my lady, are you
My lady are you, are you
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you
You're tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there's a glitch
You're an ostrich
You've got your head in the sand
In a submersible I can hardly breathe
As it takes me inside, so the light sings
Answer me truthfully, do the clouds kiss you?
With meringue-coloured hair, I know they cannot, so
[The rain, the rain, the rain] Are you my lady, are you
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you
Santa Ana winds bring seasickness
Zookeeper hear me out
How dare you go?
Cold in the rain
Tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there's a glitch
You're an ostrich
You've got your head in the sand
Are you my lady, are you
My lady are you, are you
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [I could not]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [be seen with you]
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [I could not]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [be seen with you]
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [Working half the time]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [and looking fine in cars re-made]
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [Working half the time]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [and looking fine in cars re-made]
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [Working half the time]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [and looking fine in cars re-made]
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [Working half the time]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [and looking fine in cars re-made]
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [Working half the time]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [and looking fine in cars re-made]
08 A Dark Design (03:29)
Opens up her blouse to the cool night
With no shaking of time
Because she has in mind
A dark design
Now I'm a so-called cube
Speaking out, she said to me
She said:
Hi. I'm twice coloured
Wait till you see how they're in love
With my sickness
There is no more time for the weaklings
With an unfamiliar smile
A self-destructive mind of dark design
We may just live through life
Watching it from sweet repose
Cut up with knives that slice open
I'm professional now
Everly, everly I
Can you not look at me through sides?
Everly, everly I
Did you not summon up their kite?
Opens up her face
To the delight of their red piercing beaks
It didn't hurt this time
My dark design
They leave her left behind
Slits into her all convinced
That she's their favourite way
Practicing
But getting worse
So high
I'm twice coloured
Wait till you see
I made a truce with the blackness dyer
I know colours wait for you
I feel so car-sick and alone
09 Saviours of Jazz Ballet (Fear Me, December) (03:18)
We are the Defenders of Jazz Ballet
People say, when they see us:
Hey, folks! It's the Saviours of Jazz Ballet
Fearless heroes of kick and spin
Baby, hear as they come
Crawling on some black and dying tree
Every night peacefully set the world on fire
Every night I hear the red parade
Say we, by command of the microphone
Such is our conviction
Make way for the Saviours of Jazz Ballet
Hollow hearts make for pleasant lives
10 An Envoy to the Open Fields (03:40)
All manner of malady come to be seen
All manner of malady come to be seen
Why do you call me at the door?
You don't know me
Why do you?
Why do you call me all the time?
You don't know me
In the corners of eyes
I'll stretch the sky in blue
And I'm thinking you're made for me
And I'm thinking of things you said
Hey now! No using me
Hey now! Can you see them?
No use in me
When all you want is
And when you go I stay
There are no complications
And when you go I stay
The blood is on moirré hands today
Why do you call me at the door?
You don't know me
Why do you?
Why do you call me all the time?
You don't know me
Assigned to ascertain their find
For I believe these fields divide
The other world
We timeless horse employ, envoy
How do you know?
Where did you go?
Solar, I can't see anything
Collide with me
In the corners of your eyes
I'll stretch the sky in blue
And I'm thinking we knew no better
And I'm thinking
We're dying
12 The Seething Rain Weeps for You (Uda Pruda) (04:18)
Saying goodbye now
Looking at friends
A lump comes in my throat
Hearing them all speak of you
It rains
We have no umbrella brought
With which the wind be fought
The seething rain weeps for you
Speaking of better days
There are so many things I want to say
Should I re-live my life
I'd run into you much sooner
Time has, it would seem
Quickened its pace
Leaving upon your face
A curly smile meant just for me
Speaking of better days
I try to remember everything
But as the years go by
The dark moments lift
Like rain clouds do
With destruction hands
And low lit snow becoming
Winter body aches
Speaking of better days
I try to remember everything
But as the years go by
The dark moments lift
Like rain clouds do
From my window I watch the day go by
13 White Lips Kissed (06:44)
Wake me up
Only nightmares take me in
Through these walls the winter bites
A draft from all sides
Why did you not include me on your list?
Let me in through the ceiling
White lips kissed
Our love is a fickle love
Keeps itself locked in a suitcase
To be ready to go
Always
I won't cry when the silver lining shows
But you're right
You understand
You ride with both hands
Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there won't be far to fall
You mustn't climb tall
Things that are supposed to mean lots
Leave you cold
And with a malady of the soul
Our love is a tricky love
Bet you know this
Bet you noticed
Bet you know, which is why
I should know better than anyone ever could
Soon as I let go
Everything falls apart
I won't cry when the silver lining shows
But you're right
You understand
You ride with both hands
Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there won't be far to fall
You mustn't climb tall
Wake me up
Only nightmares take me in
Through these walls the winter bites
A draft from all sides
Of course you can
There are diamonds in demand
It's a shame and as you know
The stain will not go
14 Louise Louisa (07:17)
Call Louise Louisa do
I assess myself through you
Call Louise Louisa do
I had such a night
Come true
Overhead
Morning skies all for you
What a day I have had
What a day I have had
Now it's over, isn't it?
What a day I have had
What a day I have had
Now it's over, isn't it?
There goes Louisa
There goes Louisa
Dig out yourself from rubble
Removing all your skin
And don't ever think of trouble
The darkness that has been
No, don't patronize with sorrow
I don't mean to
I'm in a car
I don't know where we are headed for
Stay with me
Don't want to be alone
