Oggi il grande Alice Cooper compie 71 anni. Per celebrarlo vi posto il brano “House of Fire”, con testo e video ufficiale.
Auguri Alice!
Vincent Damon Furnier, alias Alice Cooper, è nato a Detroit il 4 febbraio 1948, grande cantante della scena Hard Rock ed Heavy Metal, che per la sua spettacolarità ha dato vita al genere Shock Rock.
La sua carriera musicale cominciò intorno al 1964, prendendo ispirazione da Beatles, Rolling Stones, poi qualche anno più tardi pensò di chiamare la band in Alice Cooper, che a detta sua rappresentava “l’immagine di una ragazzina con un lecca lecca in una mano e un coltello da macellaio nell’altra”.
Importante fu l’ incontro con Frank Zappa, che aiutò la band a pubblicare il primo album nel 1969, suscitando accuse da diverse associazioni puritane americane, sia per il look macabro, sia per gli argomenti quali la morte, la necrofilia, le torture.
La canzone “House of Fire”, è estratta dall’album “Trash” del 1989.
Testo: Alice Cooper – House of Fire
House of fire
House of fire, yeah
Let’s build a house of fire, baby
Not one of wood or stone
Walk through my door of desire, baby
Come on in and make it your home
Don’t need a window to watch you, baby
Don’t need no roof overhead
Don’t need no key to unlock ya, baby
I’ll use my lovin’ instead
I won’t tire
Take me higher
Building a house of fire, baby
Buildin’ it with our love
We are buildin’ a house of fire every time we touch
House of fire
House of fire
We ain’t gotta pay rent now, baby
No landlord to throw us out
I want to play in your garden, baby
When you want to give me a shout
I won’t tire
Take me higher
Building a house of fire, baby
Buildin’ it with our love
We are buildin’ a house of fire every time we touch
We are building this house together, baby
Standing on solid ground
We are building a house of fire that you can’t tear down
Brick by brick the flames get higher
Build it strong with our desire
Building a house of fire, baby
Building it with our love
We are building a house of fire every time we touch
Baby we are
We are building this house together, baby
Standing on solid ground
We are building a house of fire that you can’t tear down
Building a house of fire, baby
Building it with our love
We are building a house of fire every time we touch
We are building this house together baby
Staning on solid ground
We are building a house of fire that you can’t burn down
