Ma s'io avessi previsto tutto questo
Dati causa e pretesto, le attuali conclusioni
Credete che per questi quattro soldi
Questa gloria da stronzi, avrei scritto canzoni
Va beh, lo ammetto che mi son sbagliato
E accetto il "crucifige" e così sia
Chiedo tempo, son della razza mia
Per quanto grande sia, il primo che ha studiato

Mio padre in fondo aveva anche ragione
A dir che la pensione è davvero importante
Mia madre non aveva poi sbagliato
A dir che un laureato conta più d'un cantante
Giovane e ingenuo io ho perso la testa
Sian stati i libri o il mio provincialismo
E un cazzo in culo e accuse d'arrivismo
Dubbi di qualunquismo, son quello che mi resta

Voi critici, voi personaggi austeri
Militanti severi, chiedo scusa a vossìa
Però non ho mai detto che a canzoni
Si fan rivoluzioni, si possa far poesia
Io canto quando posso, come posso
Quando ne ho voglia senza applausi o fischi
Vendere o no non passa fra i miei rischi
Non comprate i miei dischi e sputatemi addosso

Secondo voi ma a me cosa mi frega
Di assumermi la bega di star quassù a cantare
Godo molto di più nell'ubriacarmi
Oppure a masturbarmi o, al limite, a scopare
Se son d'umore nero allora scrivo
Frugando dentro alle nostre miserie
Di solito ho da far cose più serie
Costruire su macerie o mantenermi vivo

Io tutto, io niente, io stronzo, io ubriacone
Io poeta, io buffone, io anarchico, io fascista
Io ricco, io senza soldi, io radicale
Io diverso ed io uguale, negro, ebreo, comunista
Io frocio, io perché canto so imbarcare
Io falso, io vero, io genio, io cretino
Io solo qui alle quattro del mattino
L'angoscia e un po' di vino, voglia di bestemmiare

Secondo voi ma chi me lo fa fare
Di stare ad ascoltare chiunque ha un tiramento?
Ovvio, il medico dice "sei depresso"
Nemmeno dentro al cesso possiedo un mio momento
Ed io che ho sempre detto che era un gioco
Sapere usare o no ad un certo metro
Compagni, il gioco si fa peso e tetro
Comprate il mio didietro, io lo vendo per poco

Colleghi cantautori, eletta schiera
Che si vende alla sera per un po' di milioni
Voi che siete capaci fate bene
Aver le tasche piene e non solo i coglioni
Che cosa posso dirvi? Andate e fate
Tanto ci sarà sempre, lo sapete
Un musico fallito, un pio, un teorete
Un Bertoncelli o un prete a sparare cazzate

Ma s'io avessi previsto tutto questo
Dati causa e pretesto, forse farei lo stesso
Mi piace far canzoni e bere vino
Mi piace far casino, poi sono nato fesso
E quindi tiro avanti e non mi svesto
Dei panni che son solito portare
Ho tante cose ancora da raccontare
Per chi vuole ascoltare e a culo tutto il resto

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
