Bringin' Out the Elvis - Faith Hill



You're bringing out the Elvis in me
You're bringing out the Elvis in me

Just like a fossil
Frozen in time I could not move
My heart, my soul, my feet
Then you unearthed me
And put me in a hot pulsating groove
Now I'm a slave to the beat

You're bringing out the Elvis in me
Making my hips want to swing
You bring out the Elvis in me
Making me burst out and sing

When I'm with you
I never have to feel like a sardine
In a little metal can
I'm more like a wild shark
That travels in a pink limosuine, yeah
Yeah, together with my fans

You're bringing out the Elvis in me
Making my hips want to swing
You bring out the Elvis in me
Making me burst out and sing, oh yeah

People think I'm a silly fool
Because I think you are so nice and cool
And some people say
You're so square
But I don't care
You're bringing out the Elvis in me
You're bringing out the Elvis in me

You're bringing out the Elvis in me
Making my hips want to swing
You bring out the Elvis in me
Making me burst out and sing
You're bringing out the Elvis in me

Elton John - "Porch Swing In Tupelo"



There's a porch swing in Tupelo
In the shade of the south
Where the sweet honey drips off that old hush-yo'-mouth
It's a slow road on down
That old Natchez Trace
Through Alabama cotton fields to a state of grace
It's a crisp golden Autumn
On the Tennessee line
Rolling down to Mississippi like you headed back in time
Town's closed on Sunday
Everybody's in church
It's empty as the moon this place here on earth

And this place don't change
Some places move slow
I'm just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo
I got nothing to do 'cept hang in the breeze
Ghosts of the old south are all around me
Yea swing high, yea swing low
Here on this porch swing in Tupelo

His mama must have loved him
That truck drivin' boy
With the grease monkey look and the rock 'n roll voice
Well I was just thinkin' 'bout him
'Cause I guess he sat here
Singing all praise to God through poverty's tears

And this place don't change
Some places move slow
I'm just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo
I got nothing to do 'cept hang in the breeze
Ghosts of the old south are all around me
Yea swing high, yea swing low
Here on this porch swing in Tupelo

And this place don't change
Some places move slow
I'm just rocking' myself on this porch swing in Tupelo
I got nothing to do 'cept hang in the breeze
Ghosts of the old south are all around me
Yea swing high, yea swing low
Here on this porch swing in Tupelo

And this place don't change
Some places move slow
I'm just rocking' myself on this porch swing in Tupelo
I got nothing to do but hang in the breeze
The ghosts of the old south all around me
Yea swing high, yea swing low
On this porch swing in Tupelo

Here on this porch swing in Tupelo

Here on this porch swing in Tupelo

Patti Scialfa - Looking for Elvis




Dal nuovo albo "Play It As It Lays"
appena trovo il testo, lo aggiungerò!

Ecco il testo della canzone: :-\

Warm black asphalt
South of nowhere
I'm going there under a dirty cotton sky
When the rain comes round
I roll my window down
I lift my face to heaven
And wash these tears from my eyes

I'm just looking for some inspiration
I'm looking for something to rock my soul
I'm looking for a brand new destination
I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road
I'm looking for Elvis

I remember...
All those Septembers
The pledges of allegiance
The prayers of trust
I slept on those beds of hope and promise
Woke up choking on cheap paint and carnival dust

So where are you now
With all those illusions
Fallen dreams and charity
If faith restores you
And truth delivers
Then don't tell me that I'm standing
When I'm on my knees

I'm just looking for some inspiration
I'm looking for something to rock my soul
I'm looking for a brand new destination
I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road
I'm looking for Elvis
I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road
I'm looking for Elvis

You've got to give yourself over now
Roll like a river stone
There's mud in the water
There's gravel in the dust

You've got to work a little harder
Sing a little stronger
Stand up and deliver
If you want my trust

West of Babylon
East of Eden
I'm breathing in these winds of change
I'm going to rise up from these ashes
Gonna rise up and find the truth again

I'm just looking for some inspiration
I'm looking for love to soothe my soul
I'm at the crossroads of my destination and
I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road
I'm looking for Elvis
I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road
I'm looking for Elvis

Elvis Presley Blues - Gillian Welch



I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his hair
And put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air
And he shook it like a chorus girl
And he shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler,
baby,
Like you never seen

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
How he took it all out of black and white
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight
And he shook it like a hurricane
He shook it like to make it break
And he shook it like a holy roller, baby
With his soul at stake

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
He was all alone in a long decline
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
When he shook it and he rang like silver
He shook it and he shine like gold
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul

He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul, what's wrong with me?

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died

From Graceland to the Promised Land - Merle Haggard





From the sun years of the Fifties and the birth of rock and roll,
Millions screamed to see him do his thing.
Elvis touched the life of ev'ry ear that heard him,
And they couldn't help but listen when he sang.

It's a long way from Memphis to that mansion in the sky,
But he kept his faith in Jesus all along,
It's a long way from Graceland across Jordan to the Promised Land,
But Jesus fin'ly came to lead him home.

Why Can't They Leave Him Alone - Richard Atkins



You pick up the paper there's another expose.
And the man ain't here to defend himself.
It's a crime to treat him this way.

There's would be lovers and fair weather friends,
and their tales grow more bizarre.

These were the ones,
who walked
in the wake of a star.

He gave a whole lot of people,
a whole lot of pleasure.

He's gone, but his name lives on forever
and The Jesters who once played around his throne.
They're trying to make a dollar on their own.
Why?! Can't they leave him alone.

One King dies another claims the crown.
But no one had the fire to
lift the scepter he laid down.

He was the first, one and only,
never more to be.

Forever, he will live in memory.

He gave a whole lot of people
a whole lot pleasure.

He's gone but his name lives on forever.
And The Jesters, who once played around his throne.
They're trying to make a dollar on their own.
Why!? Can't They Leave him alone.

He sang Love Me Tender, Love Me True.
He gave them motorcycles,
cadilliacs and diamonds too.

Their life dropped, when his heartbeat stopped.
And now they slander while he sleeps.

In the Memphis night, Graceland weeps.
He gave a whole lot of
people a whole lot of pleasure,
he's gone but his name lives on forever.

And The Jesters, who once played around his throne.
They're trying to make a dollar on their own.

Non so se sia vero, ma ho letto che Bono abbia definito questo suo brano come reazione e libera espressione della sua totale disapprovazione nei confronti di Albert Goldman, in merito alla biografia che scrisse su Elvis, dove il quadro che da di Elvis è quanto di più screditante ci possa essere.

U2 - Elvis Presley And America cover




Black flash over my own love tell me of my eyes
Black flash come though my own life
Telling these things and I believe them and I believe in you


White flash sees the sky and it turns its side from you
She won't turn my back and I know you turn so blue
And you know and your sky is feeling blue
And your heart so cold when I'm with you
And you feel like no one told you to
And your time is outside and your time
Ah, don't talk to me ah, don't talk to me don't talk to me

You know like no one told you how
But you know though the king that has howled
But you feel like sentimental
But you don't care if I just share it in your heart

Hopelessly, so hopelessly
I'm breaking through for you and me
And you don't though no one told you to
And you found out

Where you were going, where to you're through with me
But I know that you will be back for more
And you know and though no one told you so
And you know, blue sky like a harder shade of blue
And you walk when you want to let go
Me, I'm on the outside, tell me fade away
Drop me down but don't break me in your sleep

In your sleep, inside it's in your heart and mine
Whole sea is dark it's in your heart and mine
Sweetly, those will come loving is on your side walking through
So, let me in your heart your beat is like something

They run
See say you're sad and reach by
So say you're sad above beside
Oh stay sad above beside
So stay sad above we said

You know I don't no one told you how
And you wipe sweat off your white brow
And you care and no one told you tried
And your heart is left out from the side

And the rain beats down
And the shame goes down
And this rain keeps on coming down
And this sky tonight

You know S O N G, why
You're going go join to god
You know S O N G, why
Give away some him no lie
Give away some my de day no
You know and though no one told you sky
And you feel like you pretend you can
You say go, you live go live outside of me
Don't you leave don't leave out part of me
Then I can feel like I feel before like it hurt now
And I see the floor if you pick me up

Titolo: Why. Questa è di Annie Lennox ed è stata cantata a Roma
Ecco i testi:

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Why
Why

I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard is said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel ?
'cause i don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel

Don't be Cruel, Teddy Bear, dancing hips and long black hair,
old friend you crossed my mind today.
Las Vegas Hotel, Graceland, sweet young daughter & million fans,
old friend, you touched my heart today.

If I listen real close in the still of the night,
I can hear your voice saying you're all right,
Close my eyes, open my soul, touch the King of Rock n Roll,
old friend it's good to feel you once again.

You shook us all up, you loved us tender,
caught us in a trap, wee all surrendered,
uh huh, oh yea, loving you.
Don't, don't, baby treat me nice, I'm falling in love with you.
I can sit down put your records on, 7 sad years are suddenly gone,
God you were young, it doesn't seem fair,
would you be here if I could have been there,
old friend my heart is crying once again.

Trapped here on earth, your Mother is free,
a lonely pain we refused to see,
old friend it touched my heart today,
old friend I'm missing you once again.
I'm missing you once again.

Elvis, my friend - J.D. Sumner




Precious memories, how they linger.
God sent this world a baby boy
Who was born into poverty
And as a boy he wondered
What would be his destiny?
His life would be busy and things happened
that even he couldn't believe.
He had so much to give and yet very little to receive.
He started out with a song and a wiggle.
Some people couldn't understand
But you and I now know it was all in God's plan.
No sooner had he started when he lost his most precious prize.
Tragedy struck this young man, his mother died.
By this time he had the Colonel, who was to guide his every step
And things begin to happen that neither one
Could seem to help.
He came home from the Army and we saw him on TV and
Because of that wiggle they wouldn't even show his knees.
His career in the movies took him from us for awhile
Even though he didn't like it, he still gave the world a smile.
He came back to us in person.
This is what he really enjoyed
And when he felt, he didn't please us
With himself he was annoyed
We demanded, not understanding
That he give to us his all
He tried to do what we wanted
For the big and the small.
The demand for his records, to have a glimpse or touch his hand
Bit by bit it took it's toll.
For even he was just a man.
God in all His wisdom, even though he loved him so,
Knew what was best
It was time for him to go.
Precious father, loving mother,
The King is gone, is what they said.
August 16th, 1977, my friend ELVIS is dead.
I couldn't believe it, how could this be, why GOD?
Why take Elvis, why not me?
I'll never forget the funeral that day
What would we sing and what would we say?
I chose the songs and those that would sing
I called Rex Humbard, oh yeah
He's say the right things.
Years have now passed and lies have been told.
How could these people be so bold!
Well maybe it's over, maybe it's through
Surely there's nothing anyone else could say or do.
There's one last thing, one last attempt
To tear down the King.
One thing you forgot, when you wrote your book,
The casket could have been closed
Then no one could look
I was there, I know, I felt his hand
And I know the difference between a hunk of wax and that of a man.
Why if he had wanted to pull a hoax, likes been implied, he was smart enough to do it,
But Elvis would not lie.
Well, this book too, will gather it's dust, and the place that printed it
Will also rust. But one thing that nobody will ever END,
And that's memories of a great man, a great humanitarian
And the world's greatest entertainer, ELVIS, my friend.

Precious memories, how they linger, how they ever flood my soul.
In the stillness of the midnight, precious sacred scenes unfold.
by J. D. Sumner

Bye Bye Johnny - Bruce Springsteen (live 1981)




She drew out all her money from the Southern Trust
And put her little boy on a Greyhound bus
Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand
With a one-way ticket to the promised land.

Now, hey little girl with the red dress on
There's a party tonight down in Memphis town
I'll be going down now if you need a ride
Come on, come on let's go tonight

How many have fallen with a dream denied
Now, tell me baby are you lonesome tonight?
'Cause a man on the radio says Elvis Presley died
Come on,come on,let's go tonight.

He drove down into Memphis,the sky was hard and black
Up over the ridge came a white Cadillac
They're standing by the roadside. In the heat
Bound together, forever, in the promise of an endless sleep

They found him slumped up against the drain
With a whole lot of nothing running through his veins
Bye bye Johnny, Johnny bye bye
You didn't have to die, you didn't have to die.

Shine A Little Light On Elvis - Rex Fowler




He made mistakes - everyone does
And bless his soul - he lost control - of who he was
Yeah he got heavy – and sang some bad songs
But he sang some great ones - before he passed on
So lets shine a little light on Elvis
Lets shine a little light his way
Why don’t we shine a little light on Elvis
And appreciate the gift he gave
He grew up sheltered – and he grew up poor
But he grew up cherished - loved and adored
He had his dreams - like you and me
Then woke from his par-ents - pov-erty
So lets shine a little light on Elvis
Lets shine a little light his way
Why don’t we shine a little light on Elvis
And appreciate the price he paid And he carried their burdens - square up on his back
Until he could buy ‘em a brand new home & a couple’a brand new Cadillacs
Wish I could have done that - bet you do too
So how ‘bout some credit - where credit’s due
It’s time to - shine a little light on Elvis
Shine a little light his way
Cause when you shine on someone else
Th’ lite’l shine back on y’self
And that’s bound to make a better day
Why don’t we
Shine a little light on Elvis
Shine a little light his way
Cause when you shine a little light
It’s like a beacon in the night
That can guide you ‘til the break of day

Daccordissimo con te, la conosco perfettamente,il Boss è un grande fan di Elvis!!Nel '75 dopo un suo concerto a Memphis,lui e Little Steven presero un taxi e andarono a Graceland,naturalmente volevono conoscere Elvis,il cancello era chiuso,allora che fece Bruce??Scavalcò il cancello...il taxista lo ammonì dicendogli di stare attento perchè dentro c'erano dei cani da guardia,ma lui non volle ascoltare e saltò dentro,arrivò fin davanti alla porta,quando fu bloccato da una guardia che gli disse di. uscire perchè Elvis non c'era,a niente è valso la spiegazione di Bruce,dicendogli che era un cantante famoso.

WHO DID THEY THINK HE WAS?? - CONWAY TWITTY





A child was born in Tupelo
In 1935
I'm grateful for his music
It forever changed my life.
Oh, I loved, love me tender
And how that boy could sing
But when he died I wondered why
Millions called him King.
Tell me, who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

He was born in Massachussetts
In 1917
The second son of an Irishman
Oh, we all loved Kennedy.
He was brave and strong and handsome
A helluva a president
But when he died
Millions cried like he was heaven sent.
Tell me who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think he was?
The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

There was a child of heaven
Born in Bethelem
Just a simple carpenter
With worn and callused hands.
Oh, he healed the heart of many
So they nailed him to a tree
With no one left to mourn his death
But the women at his feet.
Crying, Who did they think
Who did they think He was
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
There was no one left to grieve
But the women at his feet
Crying, who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?...

Nobody Knows I'm Elvis - Waylon Jennings






Well, I nearly got caught at a Burger King
And a couple of times on a plane
I thought I was safe from detection
With all of the weight I had gained.

But walking around in a jumpsuit
That didn't work worth a damn
So I bought me some Levi's and grew me a beard
And you'll never guess who I am.

Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me
After all of my tries I've got the perfect disguise
And I'm who I want to be
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me.

Bet you thought I was ol' Waylon
With all of my rugged good looks
Swagger and walk, body and soul
I bet he had what it took.

I've always envied his singing
The way he played a guitar
Black vest and hat, that's where it's at
That's what I call a star.

Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me
After all of my tries I've got the perfect disguise
And I'm who I want to be
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me.

I want to show you Graceland
Baby, that's where you ought to be
I'll give you a call but let's keep it all
Somewhere between you and me.

Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me
After all of my tries I've got the perfect disguise
And I'm who I want to be
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me...



N.B. Non solo Waylon Jennings ed Elvis si conoscevano, ma la canzone Just Because You Ask Me Too è stata scritta proprio da questo artista country

Guardandolo e sentendogli dire "Nobody Knows I'm Elvis", gli direi "Eh...ne devi mangiare ancora di piatti di pasta, prima di diventare come Elvis!" :-pw:-6x

u2 a room at the heartbreak hotel



From where I stand
I can see thrugh you
From where you're sitting, pretty one
I know it got to you

I see the stars in your eyes
You want the truth, but you need the lies
Like Judy Garland, like Valentino
You give your life for rock n' roll
Uh huh

Stand, we're on a landslide of love
You got everything you want
But what you need you give away

For primitive love
And a ride on the mistery train
A primitive love
A room at the Heart...
The Heartbreak Hotel
A room at the Heartbreak
Heartbreak Hotel
A room at the Heartbreak
Heartbreak Hotel

You say it's love, it's not the money
You let them suck your life out like honey
Turning tricks, you're on the street
Selling your kisses so bittersweet

[Gospel voices]

A primitive love
A and a ride on the mistery train
A primitive love
A room at the Heart
The Heartbreak Hotel

A room at the Heartbreak, the Heartbreak,
The Heartbreak Hotel, Hotel

questa canzone nella lista "Fight The Power"-Public Enemy

non credo proprio sia un omaggio al king ma una critica razzista su di lui cantanta da due stronzetti :-sm

Cry Like Memphis - Cindy Roberts

Home of the blues is where I live
Trapped inside these lonely walls that don’t forget
Surrounded by memories
Your goodbye haunts me like a Beal Street melody
And I’ve done everything but get down on my knees
And if my tears will set this ghost inside me free
I’m gonna cry like Memphis
I’m going three times under
I’m gonna drown my sorrows
In tears that rill like thunder
Till I can find a way
Till I can carry on
I’m gonna cry like Memphis
When they heard the King was gone
Love me Tender cuts through the dark
Coming from an open window of a passing car
And in that moment I believe
I can almost feel your body lying next to me
But one heart beating slowly brings me back around
I know you’re gone and I know I’m breaking down
And when I break down
I’m gonna cry like Memphis
I’m going three times under
I’m gonna drown my sorrows
In tears that rill like thunder
Till I can find a way
Till I can carry on
I’m gonna cry like Memphis
When they heard the King was gone

Suzi Quatro, la cantante rock diventata famosa negli anni '70 e da sempre grande fan di Elvis (ampiamente ricambiata, tanto da invitarla a Graceland), nel 2005 ha scritto una canzone tributo per il King, dal titolo Singing With Angels. Per l'accompagnamento musica chiamò i Jordanaires e James Burton, che accettarono l'invito con entusiasmo.

Il prossimo Gennaio 2010, Suzi Quatro pubblicherà questa canzone, con la quale, già da tempo chiude i suoi concerti live.

A me piace

Ieri ho sentito per caso alla radio questa canzone..mi è piaciuta tanto che l'ho cercata su youtube e ho scoperto che è un omaggio ad Elvis:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIlMR4pZ2DQ

e questo è il testo + traduzione

Black Velvet

Melissa Etheridge






Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Chorus: Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl'
Love me tender' leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

chorus

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could you do?

(Solo) chorus repeats 2x

If you please, if you please, if you please




Black Velvet


Mississippi in un periodo di siccità
Jimmy Rogers nel giradischi a tutto volume *
La mamma sta ballando col suo bimbo in braccio **
il sole sta tramontando, sembra melassa nel cielo
il ragazzo sapeva cantare, sapeva come muoversi, tutto
ne volevi sempre di più, ti lasciava desiderarlo

Rit.: Black velvet e il sorriso di questo ragazzino
Black velvet con questo stile lento del sud
una nuova religione che ti fa mettere in ginocchio
Black velvet per favore

a Memphis la musica è come un'onda calda
musica rock, ti faceva diventare matto
questo bambino nel cuore di ogni ragazzina della scuola
"Love me tender" le lascia a piangere in corridoio ***
il modo in cui si muoveva, era peccato, così dolce e sincero
ne volevi sempre di più, ti lasciava desiderarlo

Rit.

ogni parola di ogni canzone che cantava era per te
se ne andò in un lampo, accadde così presto, cosa ci puoi fare?

Rit. 2x

per favore, per favore, per favore

Elvis Presley Boulevard - Chris Trapper





The movie theatre's closing down in Memphis
While a blues band's burning up the stage
across town
The street lamps hang like saviours
from their crosses
While the losers throw their scratch tickets
on the ground
As the moon shines down on
Elvis Presley Boulevard
And the tourists trapped with the cameras
in their hands
Who would have ever realized that such
a short drive could seem so far
When you're a sucker searching for
the promised land
The casino manager lost the farm in Vegas
Cocaine charges sent from the D.A.
He blamed it on the lack of entertainment
He said he'd never lose his shirt
that way
You can bet your life the most dangerous
drugs are legal
And some doctors will feed you death
straight from their hands
So even if you're loved by fifty million people
There's not one of them gonna be there
where you land
Seen a white limousine on Elvis Presley
Boulevard
