Delle toppe sulle

braghe
Salteggio sulle bancarelle
Ventiquattro biglie in tasca

Una fionda nella sacca
Di piccioni faccio strage

Frego fiori e caramelle
Per darle poi alle più belle
Perche di tutta la tribu
La più bella sei tu
E mi piaci sempre più

Ma perche fai ste cose qui
Mi domandano la notte e il di
Me l'ha detto la luna
Me l'ha detto la luna
Me l'ha detto la luna
Me l'ha detto solo a me

Ma ancor non ho i capelli bianchi
E non siedo più tra i banchi
Sento adesso il tuo sguardo
Che mi segue a mezzodi
Nella piazza e nel cortil'
Ma come le sai ste cose qui
Mi domandano la notte e il di

Me l'ha detto la luna
Me l'ha detto la luna
Me l'ha detto la luna
Me l'ha detto solo a me

Poi la vita é andata come va
E t'ho rivisto ieri in città
Col marito e il visone
La mammina e il babbino
Il bambino e il babbuino
Li ho capito che
Domani
Tu mi sposerai

Me l'ha detto la luna
Me l'ha detto la luna
Me l'ha detto la luna
Ma l'ha detto solo a me

Maledetta la luna
Maledetta la luna
Maledetta la luna
Che l’ha detto solo a me

Français

Des pantalons rafistolés
Je sautille sur les étals
24 billes dans en poche
Une fronde dans ma sacoche
Des pigeons je fais des carnages

Je fauche des fleurs et des bonbons
Pour les offrir ensuite aux plus belles

Parce que de toute la petite bande
La plus belle c’est toi
Et tu me plais toujours plus

Mais pourquoi tu fais tout ça
On me demande de jour comme de nuit
C’est la lune qui me l'a dit
Mais elle l'a dit seulement à moi

Mais je n’ai pas encore de cheveux blancs
Je ne m’assieds plus sur les bancs de l’école

Je sens maintenant ton regard
Qui me suit tous les midis
Sur la place et aux alentours

Mais comment sais-tu sais ces choses là
Me demande-t-on de jour comme de nuit
C’est la lune qui me l’a dit
Mais elle ne l’a dit qu’à moi

Puis la vie s’est passée comme elle s’est passée
Et je t’ai revue hier en ville
Avec ton mari et ta fourrure de vison
Ta petite mère et ton petit père
Tes enfants et ton babouin

Et là j’ai compris que
Demain tu m’épouseras

C’est la lune qui me l’a dit
Mais elle ne l’a dit qu’à moi
Maudite soit la lune
Qui ne l’a dit qu’à moi

TOO MANY HONKY TONKS

VERSE
I know she didn’t mean to hurt me
She tried so hard to make it right
I guess I lost out to the whisky
But I wonder where my baby is tonight

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet

On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
The neon lights are shinin’
Right thru the warm glow of this wine
And my ole heart is pinin’
And I wonder where she’ll be

At closing time.

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet

On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

I DON'T MATTER ANYWAY
VERSE
There’s a rumor goin’ round this little town
Say you’re gonna throw my love away
Well tell me where do you get off
I’m the one having second thoughts
And I don’t think we can last another day

CHORUS
So We can talk about it
We can sleep on it
But I ain’t gonna meet you face to face
Cause I’m beginnin’ to see

What you don’t mean to me
And it really doesn’t matter anyway

VERSE
You’ve got a new boyfriend, and I’m real free
Let’s just call a spade a spade
I’m eatin’ real well, and takin’ care of myself
It’s something I gave up on along the way

CHORUS
So we can talk about it
We can sleep on it
But I ain’t gonna meet you face to face
Cause I’m beginnin’ to see

What you don’t mean to me
And it really doesn’t matter anyway

REPEAT CHORUS
We can talk about it
We can sleep on it
But I ain’t gonna meet you face to face
Cause I’m beginnin’ to see

What you don’t mean to me

And it really doesn’t matter anyway

No it really doesn’t matter anyway

Try to make you understand a great love is sacrificeNow that I see the craziness that sets hard in your eyesI just can’t believe
I was such a damn fool
I was so addictedOh, I feel so abusedBut now man it’s time for meTo make up my mindOnly myself can deniedThe needs of my body
I’d like to know
I’d like to knowWhy you hold me tightWhy you hold me tightI’d like to knowI’d like to knowWhy you took this backWhy, why you took this back
I hope someday you’ll getThat the worst thing to say is nothing at allAnd all the silly games you play mean nothing at allYou know the sweetest love you make don’t mean nothing at all
Nothing ‘s rightWhen we could have been rightAnd we go cloudWhen we could have been lightAnd look up, up up to the topUp, up to the topUp, up to the top
I’d like to know
I’d like to knowWhy you hold me tightWhy you hold me tightI’d like to knowI’d like to knowWhy you took this backWhy, why you took this back
Man,You set my bed on fireYou made me believe you wanted to take me higherAnd I didn’t ask you for anything,No,I’ve never asked you for anythingUntil you came in, you came in, you came in, you came in
I’d like to know
I’d like to knowWhy you hold me tightWhy you hold me tightI’d like to knowI’d like to knowWhy you took this backWhy, why you took this back

Been laying low, my head downHaven’t stopped to look aroundIn a while, I’mHolding on to something
But I can’t tell you what
Left me thinking you were
All that I had
Oh I wanted you, so bad
Oh let me goOh let me go
Spent so much time pretendingThat I didn’t mind when you’dLift me up so high,Just to say goodbye againCan’t pretend that I didn’t feel the thrillBut you left me
Lonely still
Oh let me goOh let me go
And everytime I’d try
Oh I couldn’t catch your eye
And I
Grew so tired of the
Shadow by my sideThat ICouldn’t help butPack away my timeAnd reclaim, what was mine
Oh let me goOh let me go
Oh, too much time on my hands
Couldn’t seem to keep you backOh, too much time on my hands
And now all I can do is ask
Oh let me goOh let me go x3
