Queensryche " I Don't Believe In Love "



QUEENSRYCHE  " I  DON'T  BELIEVE  IN  LOVE  "


I Awoke On Impact
Under Surveillance From The Camera Eye
Searching High And Low
The Criminal Mind Found At The Scene Of The Crime
Handcuffed And Blind, I Didn't Do It
She Said She Loved Me
I Guess I Never Knew
But Do We Ever, Ever Really Know ?
She Said She'd Meet Me On The Other Side
But I Knew Right Then, I'd Never Find Her

I Don't Believe In Love
I Never Have, I Never Will
I Don't Believe In Love
It's Never Worth The Pain That You Feel

No More Nightmares, I've Seen Them All
From The Day I Was Born
They've Haunted My Every Move
Every Open Hand's There To Push And Shove
No Time For Love It Doesn't Matter
She Made A Difference
I Guess She Had A Way
Of Making Every Night Seem Bright As Day
Now I Walk In Shadows, Never See The Light
She Must Have Lied 'Cause She Never Said Goodbye

I Don't Believe In Love
I Never Have, I Never Will
I Don't Believe In Love
I'll Just Pretend She Never Was Real
I Don't Believe In Love
I Need To Forget Her Face, I See It Still
I Don't Believe In Love
It's Never Worth The Pain That You Feel

No Chance For Contact
There's No Raison D'Etre
My Only Hope Is One Day I'll Forget
The Pain Of Knowing What Can Never Be
With Or Without Love It's All The Same To Me

I Don't Believe In Love
I Never Have, I Never Will
I Don't Believe In Love
I'll Just Pretend She Never Was Real
I Don't Believe In Love
I Need To Forget Her Face, I See It Still
I Don't Believe In Love
It's Never Worth The Pain That You Feel

Amo questa canzone. Adoro la sua melodia, il suo testo e poi è contenuta in uno dei dischi più perfetti che esistano. perchè "Operation: Mindcrime" è una disco pressochè perfetto, dall'inizio alla fine. Sia dal punto di vista lirico (il concept dietro al disco è originale e dannatamente intrigante) che dal punto di vista musicale (ogni singola nota si incastra alla perfezione come in un eccezionale puzzle). Che dire poi dei Queensryche ? Immensi e fondamentali per i primi 5 dischi (fino a "Promised Land") poi, purtroppo, un calo terribile, dove soltanto in qualche breve istante si sentono i veri Queensryche. Ma questo disco... è immenso e splendido.

Alice Cooper " Only Women Bleed "


 
ALICE COOPER   “ ONLY WOMEN BLEED “


Man Got His Woman To Take His Seed
He Got The Power Oh She Got The Need
She Spends Her Life Through Pleasing Up Her Man
She Feeds Him Dinner Or Anything She Can

She Cries Alone At Night Too Often
He Smokes And Drinks and Don't Come Home At All
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed

Man Makes Your Hair Grey He's Your Lifes Mistake
All You're Really Looking Fors An Even Break
He Lies Right At You, You Now Hate This Game
He Slaps You Once In A While And You Live And Love In Pain

She Cries Alone At Night Too Often
He Smokes And Drinks and Don't Come Home At All Ooh
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed

Man Got His Woman To Take His Seed
He Got The Power Oh She Got The Need
She Spends Her Life Through Pleasing Up Her Man
She Feeds Him Dinner Or Anything She Can

She Cries Alone At Night Too Often
He Smokes And Drinks and Don't Come Home At All
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed

Black Eyes All Of The Time
Dont Spend A Dime Clean Up This Grime
And You There Down On Your Knees
Begging Me Please Come Watch Me Bleed

Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed

Non penso ci sia molto da dire su di una vera e propria leggenda del rock come Alice Cooper. Ho scelto questa canzone perché penso sia meravigliosa, da ogni punto di vista. E poi l'album da cui è presa, nonostante ormai abbia 34 anni, è ancora attuale e stupendo. Canzoni come “The Devil's Food” , “Black Widow” e “Cold Ethyl” sono entrare di diritto nella storia del rock. Alice Cooper ? Immenso.
