C'è una donna che semina il grano
Volta la carta si vede il villano
Il villano che zappa la terra
Volta la carta viene la guerra
Per la guerra non c'è più soldati
A piedi scalzi son tutti scappati

Angiolina cammina cammina sulle sue scarpette blu
Carabiniere l'ha innamorata, volta la carta e lui non c'è più
Carabiniere l'ha innamorata, volta la carta e lui non c'è più

C'è un bambino che sale un cancello
Ruba ciliege e piume d'uccello
Tira sassate non ha dolori
Volta la carta c'è il fante di cuori

Il fante di cuori che è un fuoco di paglia
Volta la carta il gallo ti sveglia

Angiolina alle sei di mattina s'intreccia i capelli con foglie d'ortica
Ha una collana di ossi di pesca, la gira tre volte intorno alle dita
Ha una collana di ossi di pesca, la conta tre volte in mezzo alle dita, ehi

Mia madre ha un mulino e un figlio infedele
Gli inzucchera il naso di torta di mele

Mia madre e il mulino son nati ridendo
Volta la carta c'è un pilota biondo

Pilota biondo camicie di seta
Cappello di volpe sorriso da atleta

Angiolina seduta in cucina che piange, che mangia insalata di more
Ragazzo straniero ha un disco d'orchestra, che gira veloce che parla d'amore
Ragazzo straniero ha un disco d'orchestra, che gira che gira che parla d'amore, ehi

Madamadorè ha perso sei figlie
Tra i bar del porto e le sue meraviglie
Madamadorè sa puzza di gatto
Volta la carta e paga il riscatto
Paga il riscatto con le borse degli occhi
Piene di foto di sogni interrotti
Angiolina ritaglia giornali, si veste da sposa, canta vittoria
Chiama i ricordi col loro nome, volta la carta e finisce in gloria
Chiama i ricordi col loro nome, volta la carta e finisce in gloria, ehi

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
