JOHN LYDON COMPIE 60 ANNI: P.I.L. – RISE, CON TESTO E VIDEO UFFICIALE

Oggi è il compleanno di John Lydon, cantautore frontman dei Sex Pistols ed inseguito dei Public Image Ltd.
John Joseph Lydon, che ai tempi dei Sex Pisols si faceva chiamare Johnny Rotten, è nato a  Londra il 31 gennaio 1956 ed oggi compie 60 anni.

Personaggio schietto e fedele alle proprie convinzioni, Lydon è stata la voce più forte del Punk, in cui urlò tutta la rabbia di quegli anni, poi nel 1978 fondò i P.I.L. (Public Image Ltd), con cui superò il periodo post punk fino al 1993, anno in cui decise di continuare come solista.

Per celebrare il suo compleanno, ho pensato di postarvi la canzone Rise dei P.I.L. anno 1986, il cui testo però era una chiara e decisa presa di posizione contro l’ Apartheid.

Testo: P.I.L. – Rise<br />
I could be wrong
I could be right
I could be wrong

I could be wrong
I could be right
I could be black
I could be white
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be white
I could be black

Your time has come
Your second skin
The cost so high
The gain so low
Walk through the valley
The written word is a lie

May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you

I could be wrong
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be right

II could be wrong
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be right
could be black
I could be white
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be black
I could be white
They put a hot wire to my head
Cos of the things I did and said
They made these feelings go away
Model citizen in every way

May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you

Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy

May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you

Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy

I could be wrong
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be right

I could be wrong
I could be right
I could be black
I could be white
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be black
I could be white
Your time has come your second skin
Cost so high the gain so low
Walk through the valley
The written word is a lie

May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you

I could be wrong
I could be right
I could be wrong

They put a hot wire to my head
Cos of the things I did and said
They made these feelings go away
A model citizen in every way
Your time has come your second skin
Cost so high the gain so low

May the road rise with you
John Lydon compie 60 anniMay the road rise with you
May the road rise with you

Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
