Secoli di pregiudizi e disinformazione hanno messo in cattiva luce
Il fenomeno mestruale presso il grosso pubblico
Troppo spesso la donna colpita da questa bizzarra quanto innocua patologia
Ha sofferto dell'ostilità dei conoscenti
Quanto del discredito che certa cattiva stampa ha gettato sul simpatico sciaquone
(Evento peraltro abbastanza diffuso presso certe popolazioni)
Ecco che Elio e le Storie Tese dicono "basta" a questa criminalizzazione
E si propongono come ideali continuatori di un'usanza
Il ciclo mensile appunto
Che si perde nella notte dei tempi e rischiava di scomparire a causa dell'insensibilità dei più
Quella stessa insensibilità che aveva generato negli anni cinquanta il binomio "mestruazioni - disagio"
E che cede il passo oggi ad una visione più completa e rassicurante
In virtù della quale "quei giorni" vengono vissuti come un momento di fantasia, gioia, intimità, colore

Tu, cinque giorni di tristezza
E poi corri incontro alla vita
Tu, io? Col tuo paracadute
Ti getti in volo e vai, zo vuoi?
Atterri nel giardino di casa
Poi ti muovi sicura e fresca
Come in un mattino di primavera
Nella tua cameretta c'è un signore
Che aziona la pressa suoi tuoi piccoli
Amici di ovatta che invocano aiuto
Ma lui te li ruba e va via
Tu piangi e insegui i tuoi morbidi
Teneri, fradici tappi per la figa pelosa
E da oggi, i tuoi tappi per la
Figa pelosa li trovi anche in
Confezione magnum da ottanta pezzi
I suoi bei sigaroni morbidoni
Ma vorrei farti una domanda
Ti sei accorta che io sono un ometto?
E vorrei fartene un'altra
Hai le mestruazioni?
Shh, dormi ora
È tutto finito.
Protagonista del tuo tempo
Protagonista della tua sessualità
Essere donna oggi, vivere il prodigio
Del tuo ciclo mensile ostentando sicumera
Essere donna oggi, aspirare al ruolo
Che la storia ti deve, quello di simpatica
Paciosa, imprevedibile nocchiero
Di un veliero proiettato verso il mare
Del duemila al grido di "cazzo, subito"
Essere donna oggi, non più cagafigli
Bensì dolce e caparbia cagatrice
Dei tuoi figli, come Loretta Goggi
Nella Freccia Nera, o in Maledetta
Primavera mente autonoma
Donna, roccaforte quando il flusso
È più copioso, sbarazzina quando è il caso
O marangona di un clitoride mai domo
Al grido di, "hah gha si"
Ma vorrei farti una domanda
Ti sei accorta che io sono un ometto?
E vorrei fartene un'altra
Hai le mestruazioni?
Protagonista del tuo tempo, protagonista
Della tua sessualità
Protagonista del tuo tempo, protagonista
Della tua sessualità
Piccole donne, grandi labbra
Piccolo uomo grandi labbra apprezzerà
Probabilmente non mi accoppio
Ma le tue trombe di falloppio suonerò
Protagonista del tuo wurstel di cotone

    This song, whose title translates as "Being A Woman Today", is essentially about the key importance of the menstrual cycle in a woman's life. There's much sympathy on the part of the band, but not all female listeners get it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
