di Berry, Wilson
BEACH BOYS
If ev’rybody had an ocean across the U.S.A.,
Then ev’rybody’d be surfin’ like Californ-I-A.

A bushy bushy blonde hairdo. Surfin’ U.S.A.
You’ll catch ‘em surfin’ at Del Mar. Ventura County Line.
Santa Cruz and Trestles. Australia’s Narabine.
All over Manhattan, and down Doheny way.
Ev’rybody’s gone surfin’. Surfin’ U.S.A.
We’ll all be plannin’ out a route we’re gonna take real soon.
We’re waxin’ down our surfboards. We can’t wait for June.
We’ll all be gone for the summer. We’re on safari to stay.
Tell the teacher we’re surfin’. Surfin’ U.S.A.
At Haggarty’s and Swami’s. Pacific Palisades.
San Onofre and Sunset. Redondo Beach, L.A.
All over La Jolla, and Waimea Bay.
Ev’rybody’s gone surfin’. Surfin’ U.S.A.…

03-03-2002 GIVEN UP
di Delson, Bennington, Farrell, Shinoda, Bourdon
LINKIN PARK
Wake in a sweat again
Another day’s been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I’ll never leave this place
There’s no escape
I’m my own worst enemy
I’ve given up
I’m sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I’m suffocating!
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me!…

02-03-1992 COME AS YOU ARE
di Cobain
NIRVANA
Come as you are, as you were
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend
As an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
Choice is yours, don’t be late
Take a rest as a friend
As an old
Memoria, memoria
Memoria, memoria
Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend
As an old
Memoria, memoria
Memoria, memoria
And I swear that I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
Memoria, memoria…

28-02-2005 ELECTRON BLUE
di Buck, Mills, Stipe
R.E.M.
You’re on your ear, the ocean’s near
The light has started to fade
Your high is timed
You found the climb
It’s hard to focus on more than what’s
In front of you, electron blue
Adventure rings with a page
And when
It dawns on you, it singes blue
Your buzz beginning to wane
Adventure has laid its claim on you
It’s all you want to do
You, you know where to run
You run electron blue
And who am I?
I’m just a guy
I’ve got a story like everyone
But in your eyes
You looked surprised
And didn’t know where to run…
