Lyrics
E i ricordi sopravvissuti ai nostri ultimi raid aerei
Sono sugli autobus sfiniti che dormono in piedi
Metti in lavatrice i cieli neri, i foglietti illustrativi di tutti i nostri ieri
Non ci rinnoveranno i contratti e nelle corsie dei supermercati
I tuoi occhi nel cellophane, ci hanno fucilati
Parlavamo delle nostre interiorità come se fossero delle metropoli
Degli edifici antisismici, delle camere a gas
Parlavamo degli spargimenti di soldati in periferia
Avevamo l’inesperienza necessaria e fogli di via
E la mattina i capelli ricoperti di brina
E ti avrei portato a nuotare
Dove affondano le petroliere
Ti avrei portato a nuotare
Dove affogano le petroliere
E se ti piove dentro, se hai temporali dentro e coi tuoi sospiri fai cadere i
governi
E coi tuoi sospiri fai crollare i governi e ti cercano con gli elicotteri
E ti cercano con gli elicotteri
E i ricordi sopravvissuti ai nostri ultimi raid aerei
Sono sugli autobus sfiniti che dormono in piedi
Metti in lavatrice i cieli neri, i foglietti illustrativi, tutti i nostri ieri
Non ci rinnoveranno i contratti e nelle corsie dei supermercati
I tuoi occhi nel cellophane, ci hanno fucilati
Tanto ti proteggeranno i sindacati
Non ti proteggeranno i sindacati
E sputavamo delle stelle dal terzo piano sull’hinterland
Ma era proprietà privata
Ma era proprietà privata
E le tue parole sono residui bellici
Cicatrici e sorrisi sulle facce degli ex edifici pubblici trasformati in
parcheggi
Ridistribuiranno i redditi e i nostri sogni più abbordabili
Dentro di noi coi corridoi bianchi interminabili
Tra i tuoi aerei dispersi e i nostri pochi giorni liberi
Metteranno in vendita il colore dei tuoi occhi come dati statistici
Metteranno in vendita il colore dei tuoi occhi come dati statistici
Ti avrei portato a nuotare
Dove affondano le petroliere
Ti avrei portato a nuotare
Dove affogano le petroliere
Lyrics translation
And the memories that survived our last air raids
They're on exhausted buses sleeping on their feet
Put in the washing machine the black skies, the picture sheets of all our yesterday
We will not renew contracts and in the lanes of supermarkets
Your eyes in the cellophane, they shot us
We talked about our interiority as if they were metropolises
Earthquake-proof buildings, gas chambers
We were talking about the spread of soldiers in the suburbs
We had the necessary inexperience and leaves of way
And in the morning the hair covered with frost
And I would have taken you swimming
Where oil tankers sink
I was gonna take you swimming.
Where oil tankers drown
And if it rains inside you, if you have thunderstorms inside and with your sighs You Drop the
government
And with your sighs you bring down governments and they're looking for you with helicopters
And they're looking for you with helicopters
And the memories that survived our last air raids
They're on exhausted buses sleeping on their feet
Put in the washing machine the black skies, the picture sheets, all our yesterday
We will not renew contracts and in the lanes of supermarkets
Your eyes in the cellophane, they shot us
The unions will protect you anyway
The unions won't protect you.
And we were spitting stars from the third floor on the hinterland
But it was private property
But it was private property
And your words are remnants of war
Scars and smiles on the faces of former public buildings turned into
parking
They will redistribute incomes and our most affordable dreams
Inside us with the endless white corridors
Between your missing planes and our few days off
They will put up for sale the color of your eyes as statistical data
They will put up for sale the color of your eyes as statistical data
I was gonna take you swimming.
Where oil tankers sink
I was gonna take you swimming.
Where oil tankers drown
