Apro questo post liberamente ispirato al concerto di sabato scorso degli Antani Project che hanno riproposto tante belle canzoni che fanno parte dei miei ricordi adolescenziali. Così ripropongo qui di seguito una di quelle canzoni dei favolosi, frivoli, anni '80...
P.S.: si vede che sono... "classico" no?!?


<Wild boys> Duran Duran

The wild boys are calling
On their way back from the fire
In august moon's surrender to
A dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world

They tried to break us,
Looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

You got sirens for a welcome
There's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while
You're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory
Where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over
Secrets they could tell

They tried to tame you
Looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

a me sta canzone mi fa troppo venire in mente tonino carino da ascoli...

<Shout> Tears for fears


Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to...
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
They gave you life
And in return you gave them Hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale.
I hope we live to...
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
And when you've taken
you've taken down your guard
If I could change {...your mind}
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to...
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Come on

<Sweet dreams (are made of this)> Eurythmics


Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

(Hold your head up--Keep your head up--MOVIN' ON)

<Take on me>
A-Ha

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?
Take on me,
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me that stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me,
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh the things you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
Shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me,
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Take on me,
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
In a day or two

<Sowing The Seeds Of Love>
Tears for fears


High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man
And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast
D.J.'s the man we love the most
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracy?
As the headline says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues

Sowing the seeds of love
The seeds of love
Sowing the seeds

I spy tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention
Food goes to waste!
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician Grannie with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the Majority feels?
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of a Government plan
Kick out the Style! Bring back the Jam!

Sowing the seeds of love
The seeds of love
Sowing the seeds…
Sowing the seeds
The Birds and the Bees
My Girlfriend and Me in Love

Feel the Pain
Talk about it
If you're a worried man – then shout about it
Open hearts – feel about it
Open minds – think about it
Everyone – read about it
Everyone – scream about it
Everyone
Everyone – read about it, read about it
Read it in the books in the crannies and the nooks there books to read

(Mr England Sowing the Seeds of Love)

Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes

High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common
man
And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast
Every minute of every hour – ”I Love a Sunflower”
And I believe in loverpower, LovePower, LovePower!!!

Sowing the Seeds
An end to need
And the Politics of Greed
With Love

<Dancing With Tears In My Eyes>
Ultravox


Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favourite song
Over and over

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's time and we're in each other's arms
It's time but I don't think we really care

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes

<Mister X>
Ultravox


I found the perfect picture, of a perfect stranger.
It looked as if, it were taken in the forties sometime,
Judging by the style.

He could be a killer or a blind man with a cane,
Perhaps he died in a car crash, years ago.
Right now, it's impossible to tell.

I almost thought I saw him, standing, whistling on a bridge.
I asked him the time, but when he turned around,
I saw it wasn't him at all.

I'm still searching.
I'm still searching.

I saw him in an airport, while he was sitting on a wing.
And I waved to him, but I don't think he noticed me.
I've got a funny feeling I know who he is.

Mr. X (Repeat 14 times and fade)

<Maniac>
(Flashdance)


Just a still town girl on a saturday night
lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all,
they all think she's crazy
Locking rhythms play to the beat of her heart
changing woman into life
She has danced into the danger zone
when a dancer becomes a dance
It can cut you like a knife
if the gift becomes the fire
on a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she's dancing like she's never danced before
On the ice-built iron sanity
is a place that was never seen
It's a hard warm place of mystery
touch it, but can't hold it
You work all your life for that moment in time
it could come or pass you by
It's a push of the world,
but there's always a chance
if the hunger stays through the night
There's a cold connective heat
struggling stetching for defeat
Never stopping with her head against the wind
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she's dancing like she's never danced before
It can cut you like a knife
if the gift becomes the fire
on a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she's dancing like she's never danced before
and she's dancing like she's never danced before

<Super Trouper>
Abba

Super Trouper
beams are gonna blind me
but I won't feel blue
like I always do
'cause somewhere in the
crowd there's you

I was sick and tired
of everything
when I called you
last night from Glasgow
all I do is eat
and sleep and sing
wishing every show
was the last show
so imagine I was
glad to hear you're coming
suddenly I feel all right
and it's gonna be
so different when
I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper
lights are gonna find me
shining like the sun
smiling, having fun
feeling like a number one
tonight the
Super Trouper
beams are gonna blind me
but I won't feel blue
like I always do
'cause somewhere in the
crowd there's you

Facing twenty thousand
of your friends
how can anyone
be so lonely
part of a success
that never ends
still I'm thinking
about you only
there are moments when I
think I'm going crazy
but it's gonna be alright
everything will be
so different when
I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper
lights are gonna find me
shining like the sun
smiling, having fun
feeling like a number one
tonight the
Super Trouper
beams are gonna blind me
but I won't feel blue
like I always do
'cause somewhere in the
crowd there's you

So I'll be there
when you arrive
the sight of you
will prove to me
I'm still alive
and when you take
me in your arms
and hold me tight
I know it's gonna
mean so much tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper
lights are gonna find me
shining like the sun
smiling, having fun
feeling like a number one
tonight the
Super Trouper
beams are gonna blind me
but I won't feel blue
like I always do
'cause somewhere in the
crowd there's you
