Prayer for the weekend


Come, baby
It's time to pray

Come it's time to pray for the weekend, babe
Come it's time to jump in at the deep end, babe
It opens up it's jaws panting like a hound
So, we'll pick the fleurs du mal and we'll bind it a crown

Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make your claim for a better day
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make you claim for the holiday
(Nanana nana nana nanana)

It hovers like an eagle, it's growling like a beast
Demanding our sacrifice, but offering a feast
It's calling for our blood, we must quench it's thirst
The night is calling all its dusky children back to work

(But first)

Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make your claim for a better day
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make you claim for the holiday
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, ooh, oooh...
Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make your claim for a better day
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, come, make you claim for the holiday
(Nanana nana nana nanana)


Let's pray that the weekend will thrill us, babe
Let's pray that the weekend won't kill us babe




The worrying kind


Moves, I like to make them
Grooves, I like to shake them
Shake me from my troublesome mind

'Cause sometimes you’'ll find
that I'’m out of my mind
You see baby, I’'m the worrying kind

Words, I like to break ’em
Words I’'d like to shake ’em
Shake them from my troublesome mind

And you turn up your nose
It'’s a joke you suppose
But baby, I’'m the worrying kind

So if you see me somewhere
With that glassy ol’ stare
And the panic and fear in my eyes
Don'’t call for first aid or the fire brigade
Or the local police cause they won't care
I’'m just a silly old boy with my head in the can
I’'m just a mortal with potential of a superman
But what sense does it make
When I feel like a fake
When I'’m saying to you all be good for goodness sake?

Words, I like to break ’em
Words I’'d like to shake ’em
Shake them from my troublesome mind
And why? –Heaven knows, It'’s a joke I suppose
But baby, I’'m the worrying kind

So if you see me somewhere
With that glassy ol’ stare
And the panic and fear in my eyes
Don'’t call for first aid or the fire brigade
Or the local police cause they won't care
I’'m just silly old boy with my head in the can
I’'m just a mortal with potential of a superman
But what sense does it make
When I feel like a fake
When I'’m saying to you all be good for goodness sake?

Ooh! Words, I like to break ’em
Words I’'d like to shake ’em
Shake them from my troublesome mind
And why? Heaven knows,
It'’s a joke I suppose
But baby, I'’m the worrying kind

And you turn up your nose
And you say it’'s a pose
But baby, I'’m the worrying kind

Yeah, sometimes I'’m blind
I'’m just out of my mind
Baby, I’'m the worrying kind




Absolutely no decorum


Thank God I was born in a time when something new was about to start
Been shut down I've been kicked around, now there's an A-bomb in my heart
And I know that the times are rough but I won't play dead while I'm alive
So hang on and we'll turn up the sound of all the anger in our hearts

'cause right now under this fevering moon I wanna take you for a ride
To the reasons you need, be it hunger or greed, it's okay

refren':
Tell me a joke and make me smile
Play me the part, be the star for a while
And absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby

Gimme a wink, let me know you're alive
Do what you will, we're only here for a while
So absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby

And I know that the times are rough, but I won't play dead while I'm alive
For I long for the shock and the awe of speaking plainly from my mind
But I know there's a place downtown where they say there's a bug-free zone
So let's go, let's head out tonight and let the words in our minds spill out

'cause right now under this fevering moon I wanna take you for a ride
To the reasons you need, be it hunger or greed, it's all
And a little bit more as we come alive again

refren'

Gimme a wink, let me know you're alive
Do what you will, we're only here for a while
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby

It's only ripples in the sand (3x)




Little dysfunk you

I know many who are worse of than you
But you stick to you fuck-ups like they're made out of glue
Little Dysfunk you, now what you gonna do?
Your eyes are watery, a mouth made for joy
Always quoting Morrisey but did you ever do it with a boy?
I've got a mouth for joy

And I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be your next-door neighbour, your mother and your savior
I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be the murder on the Rue Morgue, you're trying to solve
Oh, I can't wait too long, I can't wait too long,
Hear me calling out for you, calling out for you
Please don't wait too long, please don't wait too long,
Makes me crazy, hearing you go on about the "so much for bleached nostalgia.."

You're not afraid of pain, I know what you did
But now the question is do you really dare to live?
Pretty Dysfunk kid
It's better to be bitter than to seem like a fool,
You say and hide behind your beer-glass
But I'm not so impressed by your dysfunk moves
'Cause I'm a dysfunk too

But I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be your next-door neighbour, your mother and your savior
I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be the murder on the Rue Morgue you're trying to solve
Oh, I can't wait too long, I can't wait too long
Hear me calling out for you, calling out for you
Please, don't wait too long
Please, don't wait too long, makes me crazy
Hearing you go on about the "so much for bleached nostalgia.."




New Pollution


Night after night I tell myself
That I gotta find a way to escape this void
After all is said and done
My resumé's gonna be elegant from now on
You put the strap around your neck
Funny that I'm not dangling up there all along

Sickness will kindly talk to the mind when the mind can't take it anymore
Put on your amazing leotard and learn all you should know

refren':
Ooh-oh! Gotta make way for the new pollution
Ooh-oh! It's gonna be a hairspray revolution
Ooh-oh, life left you only seconds to play
Life left you only seconds to play

I never knew you, never will
And if we'd meet I'd probably hate you from the very
Start up a fight, I'd fight you right
But by the end of the night we'd be the ones to hang out
Buy you a drink, a smoke, a pint
Saying that it's gonna be elegant from now on

Sickness will kindly talk to the mind, when the minds got nowhere else to go
Put on your amazing leotard and get on with the show

refren'

Looking like a right potato
Never saw a grimmer look
You tell me I'm a masturbator
So you still know some of the french you took!
And they'll beat you to the ground
Treat you like a hound
Cheat away your money turn your best friends around
They'll tell you that you're overrated
But still they'll take a closer look
So come down kid, we are all waiting down here...

Ooh-oh! Gotta make way for the new pollution
Ooh-oh! It's gonna be a hairspray revolution
Ooh-oh! Gotta make way for the new pollution
Ooh-oh! It's gonna be a hairspray revolution




Thorazine Corazon


(Maladie de l'amour - Thorazine Corazon)
(Maladie de l'amour - Thorazine Corazon)

This morning as I woke up, as I was lying in my bed
There was a malady, that was a-circling in my head

refren':
(Maladie de l'amour - Thorazine Corazon)
(Maladie de l'amour) - Ooh, gimme, gimme - (Thorazine Corazon)

There ain't no doubt about it, and I've been through all this before
I started seeing double, as I was heading for the door

refren'

refren'2:
Sing me your malady, and I will sing mine
As easy as one, two, three, and we will get by

I've gotta leave the city, I've gotta put my mind at ease
Make this the last time ever, I write a song about disease

refren'2

(Maladie de l'amour) - Sing me your malady
(Thorazine Corazon) - and I will sing mine
(Maladie de l'amour) - As easy as one, two, three
(Thorazine Corazon) - and we will get by

(Maladie de l'amour) - ooh, give me, give me
(Thorazine Corazon) - ooh, give me, give me
(Maladie de l'amour) - ooh, give me, give me
(Thorazine Corazon) - ooh, give me, give me

(Maladie de l'amour) - ooh, give, give me, oh, oooh
(Thorazine Corazon) - ooh, gimme, gimme
(Maladie de l'amour) - oooo-o-oh
(Thorazine Corazon) - oooo-o-oh

And we will get by (4x)




I Patologize

Walk with me slowly, let in some air
I know we both have been lonely and I wasn't there
But here's a packet of peanuts and here's a pint of beer,
We both run around in circles when there's nothing to fear

And if I ever did you any wrong
There's a two-headed reason why this can't go on
But it's true that I've been away too long
So - I pathologize, I pathologize, I pathologize

Don't know much about love and roses
But I know we got compatible neuroses
Know there's a way to shed your skin
But when we don't know where it ends how should we dare to begin?

refren':
If I ever did you any wrong
There's a two-headed reason why this can't go on
But it's true that I've been away too long
So - I pathologize, I pathologize, I pathologize

refren'

If I ever did you any wrong
There's a two-headed reason why this can't go on
And it's true that I've been away too long
There's a two-headed reason why I sing this song
And if the key's too high for you to sing along
Then - I pathologize, I pathologize, I pathologize




Death to the martyrs

He came 'round for the afterparty
Got a reception more than hearty
Well no wonder, here he was, our city's most prominent martyr
Who stuck needles in his arms while you and I still stuck to smarties
And who taught us all 'bout poetry and how to pick up birds
Who hung on to his pathos while other suckers saved and earned
And the underground would love him in return

He came 'round for the afterparty
Got a reception more than hearty
So then he took a loop around and then he slouched into an armchair
And there was she, yeah in a flash, like Guinevere to her King Arthur
So I closed my eyes and this is what I heard:

refren':
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
Oh! Death to the martyrs, come on, come on
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
Oh! Death to the martys, come on!

I remember it all clearly, I remember it precise
How he fixed me with his stare and looked me right into the eyes
Saying: "Me, I'm no machine, no, I defy the nine to five"
Now forgive me, I considered it both radical and wise
But for God's sake, I was fourteen at the time!

refren'

Now you who are so grand, who claim you built the fundaments on which I stand
You are the man, but you preferred the gentle fan I was before
But now it's time to be unkind to speak my mind
And if you ask why I'm so blunt, it's 'cause I care for you, you cunt!
You're no longer wild at heart, you're just a boring junkie fart
And if you really wanna die, alright, then die, then you old tart!
So I walked across the dancefloor until I was in his sight
And I opened up and this is what come out:

refren'




All I want is you


How can I pretend that I like your new friend, when all I want is you?
How can I put up with him saying "buttercup", when all I want is you?
All I want is you
We been through all this before, it's not funny anymore, that all I want is you
It's getting quite absurd, the worst hang up ever heard of, that all I want is you
All I want is you

I keep telling you, I've got lots of things to do, I've got girlfriends old and new
You keep telling me that "It's crazy", and it's true that it's crazy, but I'm not, but
I keep telling you, I've got lots of things to do, I've got boyfriends old and new
'Cause starting up again would be nothing but insane and a messed-up thing to do..

It's painful to admit, but I've been feeling like shit, 'cause all I want is you
It's getting quite absurd, the worst hang up ever heard of, that all I want is you
All I want is you

No! I gotta get a hobby, something soothing for my soul, to get my mind off you
Yeah, I'm gonna get a job and a cute little dog, then look for someone new
And forget I ever wanted you

I keep telling you, I've got lots of things to do, I've got girlfriends old and new
You keep telling me that "It's crazy", and it's true that it's crazy, but I'm not, yet
I keep telling you, I've got lots of things to do, I've got boyfriends old and new
'Cause starting up again would be nothing but insane and a messed-up thing to do

How can I pretend that I like your new friend, when all I want is you?
It's getting quite absurd, the worst hang up ever heard of, that all I want is you
All I want is you, all I want is you




Gimme love to give


refren':
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I'm fed up with this world
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world

Oh, it's a pretty idea, walk this world like a messiah
But it will bring you to tears, and people will call you a liar
And when the scorners in the corners spread their anguish every morning
I just wish that there's a God that can hear me:

refren'

When people passing you by, you'll always be a child in yearning
You say that you will get by, but the sadness in your heart is burning
And here comes Chuck, he says: Lend me a buck, next thing you're lying on sidewalk bleeding

refren'

Oh Lord, I need your help now
To feel love 'cause I've forgotten how
And it's so hard you see when all the scruitinizers, brutalizers, hipster jerks and bad advisors
Make my ears and my eyes bleed
I say, please!
Oh, Lord!

Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I'm fed up with this world
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world
Give me love, ooh, give me love to give (4x)

Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world
Say will my prayer be heard?




Uriel

Uriel laughs, I'm drinking water
Dressed in the clothes that I have bought her
She looks like a lamb, held up for slaughter
She is my solemn skies' daughter

But she's in the water, and I'm gonna find her
Down at the bottom, she is alive
Seagrass and bracken, kissing her wavelet
Down at the bottom, wave their bye-byes

You realize that I need comfort
Words that are spells, laughter that's transport
From day to day, when words are spoken
When she laughs silence is broken

But she's in the water, and I'm gonna find her
Down at the bottom, she is alive
Seagrass and bracken, kissing her wavelet
Down at the bottom, and wave their bye-byes

This one's for you, good friend and brother
If I would slip, if I would kill her
Then take these words, spread them above her
Tell her I never could love her

'Cause she's in the water, and I'm gonna find her
Down at the bottom, she is alive
Seagrass and bracken, kissing her wavelet
Down at the bottom, and wave their bye-byes

Shee, sheee..

..is in the water, and I'm gonna find her
Down at the bottom, she is alive
Seagrass and bracken, kissing her wavelet
Down at the bottom, wave their bye-byes
Bye..

Bye..

:D si, in effetti sei stata molto utile :D mi hai risparmiato il lavoro di copiare tutti i testi dal Booklet ^_^
Anyway, ti ho modificato il messaggio coi testi perchè mancava l'ultimo pezzetto dell'ultima frase di Prayer For the Weekend, ci ho fatto caso perchè l'ho tradotta, ^_^ è una piccolezza, ma io coi testi sono puntigliosa, specie con quelli di Ola :wub: :wub: ora apro il topic con le traduzioni :lol: Grazie ancora!!! :jump:
