Omaggi Musicali Ad Elvis Presley
 

Ho pensato di aprire questo topic per inserire tutti i video di altri cantanti e/o gruppi che hanno inciso un brano in omaggio ad Elvis (no cover)

Se riusciamo a rintracciare anche il testo della canzone, credo possa diventare una cosa molto carina. Che ne dite?

Io dò il via, poi continuate voi :-rock

Walking In Memphis -Cher



Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then i'm walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Boy you got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Advertising Space - Robbie Williams



There's no earthly way of knowing
What was in your heart
When it stopped going
the whole world shook
a storm was blowing through you
waiting for god to stop this
and up to your neck in darkness
everyone around you was corrupted
say something

there's no dignity in death
to sell the world your last breath
we're still fighting over everything you left..oh

I saw you standing at the gates
when Marlon Brando passed away
you had that look upon your face
advertising space and

no one learned from your mistakes
we let our profits go to waste
all that's left in any case
is advertising space ooh

through your eyes the world was burning
please be gentle I'm still learning
you seemed to say as you kept turning up
they poisoned you with compromise
at what point did you re-alise
everybody loves your life but you ah-ha

a special agent for the man
through watergate and vietnam
no one really gave a damn
Do-you think the CIA did

I saw you standing at the gates
when Marlon Brando passed away
you had that look upon your face
advertising space and

no one learned from your mistakes
we let our profits go to waste
all that's left in any case
is advertising space ooh

oh.........oh
...ahhhhh...
oooh oooh
oooh oooh

no one learned from your mistakes
we let our profits go to waste
all that's left in any case
is advertising space ooh

I've seen your daughter man she's cute
I was scared but I wanted to
boy she looks a lot like you

Calling Elvis - Dire Straits



Calling Elvis
Is anybody home
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the phone
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone

Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
Let me leave my number
Heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender
Baby don't be cruel
Return to sender
Treat me like a fool

Calling Elvis
Is anybody home
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Can he come to the phone
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone

Why don't you go get him
I'm his biggest fan
You gotta tell him
He's still the man
Long distance baby
So far from home
Don't you think maybe you could put him on

Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
Let me leave my number
Heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender
Baby don't be cruel
Return to sender
Treat me like a fool

Calling Elvis
Is anybody home
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the phone
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone

Graceland Paul Simon



The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guitar,
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war,

I'm going to Graceland
Graceland
In Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland,

Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland,
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage,
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received
In Graceland,

She comes back to tell me she's gone,
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed,
As if I'd never noticed,
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead,
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody sees the wind blow,

I'm going to Graceland,
Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland,
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland,

And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties,
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland,

There is a girl in New York City,
Who calls herself the human trampoline,
And sometimes when I'm falling flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Whoa so this is what she means,
She means we're bouncing into Graceland,
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody feels the wind blow,

In Graceland Graceland,
I'm going to Graceland,
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see
Graceland,
And I may be obliged to defend
Every love every ending
Or maybe there's no obligations now,
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland

(Pause)

Woah in graceland graceland graceland
i'm going to graceland

Old Friend - Bill Medley (es Righteous Brothers)



Questa canzone è stupenda, ma non trovo il testo, per postarlo.

Se qualcuno mi aiuta magari, altrimenti cercherò di farne una stesura, perchè contiene parole bellissime :cry::cry::cry:

Ci provo, Hurt, ma non ho capito proprio tutto (fa schifo l'audio del mio computer):

Old Friend

Don't be cruel, teddy baer
dancing tips and long black hair
you crossed my mind today
Las Vegas Hotel, Graceland
a sweet young daughter
and a million fans
old friend, you touched my heart today.

And I listen to you in the still of the night
open to your voice and you're all right
I close my eyes and open my soul
touch the king of rock 'n roll
old friend, it's good to hear you once again.

You shook us all up, you loved us tender
caught us in a trap, we all surrendered
aha, oh yeah, loving you
don't, don't .....?
I'm falling in love with you
I happen to sit down with your records on
seven sad years are suddenly gone
I get you in young, it doesn't seem fair
would it be heal if I could have been there
old friend, my heart is crying once again.

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

He Was The King - Neil Young



"He Was The King"

(Okay, we're gonna start with a... Uh...
Start with an F. Just ride in on the F.
Maybe that's a good way to start.
Or maybe the D. Whaddya think, Ben?
- Uh, the F sounds good...
- Just like a...)

The last time I saw Elvis
He was shooting at a colour TV
The phones were ringing in the pink motel
And the rest is history
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
He was singing a gospel song
You could tell he had the feeling
And the whole world sang along
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
He was up on the silver screen
Pushing a plough in a black and white movie
And everybody started to scream
Yes, he was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
It was some kind of Vegas dream
Spotlights flashed on a silver cape
And a blue-haired lady screamed
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
He was fronting a three-piece band
Rocking on the back of a flatbed truck
With an old guitar in his hand
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis

The last time I saw Elvis
He was riding in a pink Cadillac
Wind was blowing through his hair
And he never did look back
He was the King

Thank you very much

The last time I saw Elvis
He was singing that gospel song
You could tell that he had the feeling
And the whole world sang along
He was the King

He was the King
He was the King

(- Elvis has left the arena
- But he was rocking while he was getting out.
- Oh, man, you blew me right outta my seat when you said,
"Thank you very much." I almost stopped playing!
- "Thank you very much." etc.)

I Remember Elvis Presley - Danny Mirror





Last night I turned the radio on for the midnight news
suddenly I thought I'd died of a broken heart
when I heard the announcer say:

The great rock singer Elvis Presley
also known as the king

just died in a hospital in Memphis
Tennessee
USA
at the age of fortytwo years.

I remember Elvis Presley
Lord
how I love to hear him sing
so I'll adore him just for ever
for he's the one and only "King".
Like he was singing "Now or never
he's just a golden memory.

Good luck charm
is not for ever
good luck songs
we need 'em ever
again
again I'll play your songs

'cause in my mind you haven't gone.

I remember Elvis Presley
Lord
how I love to hear him sing
so I'll adore him just for ever
for he's the one and only "King".
Like he was singing "Now or never
he's just a golden memory.

My dear friend I won't forget you
when I need you I can hear you
King
though I dont know where or when

there'll be a day we meet again.

Elvis Presley
I wanna thank you for all the happiness
you gave so many people all over the world
during many
many years.
Ha
I remember the disc-jockey was playing "Jailhouse Rock"
When I had my first date with a beautiful girl
and since that evening
you've been my friend
Elvis !

I remember Elvis Presley
Lord
how I love to hear him sing
so I'll adore him just for ever
for he's the one and only "King".

King Of The Mountain - Kate Bush




Could you see the aisles of women?
Could you see them screaming & weeping?
Could you see the storm rising?
Could you see the guy who was driving?
Could you climb higher and higher?
Could you climb right over the top?
Why does a multi millionaire
Fill up his home with priceless junk?
The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Though the house
Elvis are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain
Another Hollywood waitress
Is telling us she’s having your baby
And there’s a rumour that you’re on ice
And you will rise again someday
And there’s a photograph
Where you’re dancing on your grave
The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Through the house
Elvis are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain
The wind it blows
The wind it blows the door closed

Real Good Looking Boy - The Who




When I think back to the
first time in my childhood
When I saw that face
I thought right then,
'That's a real good looking boy'

I saw myself in the mirror
in profile
for the first time
I thought,
'Hey! That's a real good looking boy'

And I felt then
that I moved
With all those lucky fucks and angels
High in the theatre
In the sky

So I ran to my mother
I said,
'Mom - take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen
Fly so high?'

That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

She said,
'Son, well, you know,
you're an ugly boy.
You don't really look like him

In this long line
There's been some
real strange genes
You've got 'em all
You've got 'em all
With some extras thrown in'

That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

Wise men say
Only fools, only fools rush in
But I - I can't help
Falling in love, in love with you

Now I'm here with you little darling
And you say, 'You're beautiful as you are'
And I've managed somehow to survive

You arrived in my life like a fragrance and
you help me find a little laugh
Now I Know how so-called beauty lies

God gave him a face
Then he gave me something above
God gave me a grace
Man, he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love

You make me feel like I'm a real good looking boy
I feel I'm a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

Nell'intervista a Lamar Fike che ho postato un anno fa, Lamar diceva questo

Questa è la lettera scritta da Elvis e resa canzone, interpretata da Wayne Newton




WAYNE NEWTON…. THE ELVIS LETTER

One more phone call from a friend
Just to say how hard it's been
How their hopes and dreams have scattered
With the wind
They don't see that I'm there too
How it breaks my heart in two
Just to make it through this night's all I can do

Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
I'm still standing all alone
When I know I can't go on
Help me Lord

As I awake again today
And my pain won't go away
And the face I have to wear
Shows a smile
Now my nights are so alone
I just wish I could go home
I don't know if I can make it another mile

Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Please help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
I'm still standing all alone
When I know I can't go on
Help me Lord

I feel so alone sometimes
The night is quiet for me
I'd love to be able to sleep
I am glad that everyone is gone now
I'll probably not rest tonight
I have no need for all of this
Help me Lord

Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Please help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
God I am so all alone
When I know I can't go on
Help me Lord

Won't you come and take me home
Help me Lord

Tupelo' Too Far



I can see Saltillo Street
And the house where I was born
I can hear gospel songs
From the church on Sunday morn
Saturday nights 'round the radio
Life was simple then
But this road I'm on won't take me there
You can't go back again
I wish I could take Route 78
And be there in no time
Rest beneath the sweet gum trees
Leave all my cares behind
But Tupelo's too far
I never dreamed I would be
A king much less a star
And I never knew that what I loved
Could also break my heart
I always thought if I just sang
Everything would be alright
And I don't know what went wrong
But I'm lonesome tonight
I wish I could take Route 78
And be there in no time
Rest beneath the sweet gum trees
Leave all my cares behind
But Tupelo's too far
Tupelo's too far

Went To See The Gypsy - Bob Dylan




Went to see the gypsy,
Stayin' in a big hotel.
He smiled when he saw me coming,
And he said, "Well, well, well."
His room was dark and crowded,
Lights were low and dim.
"How are you?" he said to me,
I said it back to him.

I went down to the lobby
To make a small call out.
A pretty dancing girl was there,
And she began to shout,
"Go on back to see the gypsy.
He can move you from the rear,
Drive you from your fear,
Bring you through the mirror.
He did it in Las Vegas,
And he can do it here."

Outside the lights were shining
On the river of tears,
I watched them from the distance
With music in my ears.

I went back to see the gypsy,
It was nearly early dawn.
The gypsy's door was open wide
But the gypsy was gone,
And that pretty dancing girl,
She could not be found.
So I watched that sun come rising
From that little Minnesota town.

Because You Loved Me - Celine Dion





For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Re: Omaggi Musicali Ad Elvis Presley
 

Bob Dylan scrisse Went To See The Gypsy nel 1970 e si pensa che lui si sia incontrato con Elvis, ma non si sa per certo...
Forse era tutto una fantasia? Elvis ha cantato in una piccola città del Minnesota in quell'anno?
Bob ci ha passato l'infanzia, invece...

Black Velvet - Alanna Myles



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

Elvis Presley And America - U2 (godiamoci anche George Clooney:):))



Black flash)
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 your side
And your time with me
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 howls has howled
But you feel like sentimental
But you don't care
If I just share it in your heart
(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

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 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 you're sad over midnight
So stay sad above we said

You know I don't
No one told you how
(and you don't)
(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 can feel
Like I feel before
Like I hurt now
And I see the floor
If you pick me up
Bits and pieces on this floor

Cry Like Memphis - Tamara Walker



Home of the blues is where I live
Trapped inside these lonely walls that don’t forgive
Surrounded by memories
Your goodbye haunts me like a Beale 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

ANGEL - The Eurythmics




Underneath this canopy of snow
Where fifty-seven winters
Took their toll
Where did you go?

And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing psalms on a Sunday
(Where did you go?)

Well she's gone to meet her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...
Come to save her soul...
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime
Well past bedtime

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel...

She took her life
Within her hands
She took her life
Within her own two hands
And no-one can tell her
What to do now

And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing live from Las Vegas
(Where did you go?)

Well she's gone to meet
Her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...

Elvis Ate America - Passengers (U2/Howie B/Eno)



Elvis... white trash
Elvis... the Memphis flash
Elvis... didn't smoke hash
Would've been a sissy without Johnny Cash

Elvis... didn't dodge the draft
Elvis... had his own aircraft
Elvis... having a laugh
On the Lisa Marie in a colour photograph

Elvis... under the hood
Elvis... with Cadillac blood
Elvis... darling bud
Flowered and returned to the Mississippi mud

Elvis... ain't gonna rot
Elvis... in a Memphis plot
Elvis... he didn't hear the shot
And Dr. King died just across the lot from...

Elvis... vanilla ice cream
Elvis... girls of fourteen
Elvis... the Memphis spleen
Shooting TVs reading Corinthian's 13

Elvis... with God on his knees
Elvis... owned three TVs
Here come the killer bees
Head full of honey potato chips and cheese
Elvis... the bumper stickers
Elvis... the white knickers
Elvis... the white nigger
Ate at king burger and just kept getting bigger

Elvis... sang to win
Elvis... the battle hymn
Elvis... the battle to be slim
Elvis ate America before America ate him

Elvis...

Elvis... stamps
Elvis... necromance
Elvis... fans
Elvis... psychophants
Elvis... the public enemy
Elvis... don't mean shit to Chuck D.
Elvis... changed the center of gravity
Made it slippy

Elvis... Hitler
Elvis... Nixon
Elvis... Christ
Elvis... Mishima
Elvis... Markus
Elvis... Jackson
Elvis... the pelvis
Elvis... the psalmist
Elvis... the genius
Elvis... generous
Elvis... forgive us
Elvis... pray for us
Elvis... Aaron
Elvis... Presley

Boy From Tupelo - Emmylou Harris




You don't love me this I know
Don't need a bible to tell me so
I hung around a little too long
I was good but now I'm gone

Like the buffalo
That boy from Tupelo
Any way the wind can blow
That's where I'm gonna go
I'll be gone like a five and dime
It'll be the perfect crime
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
He's the king and he oughta know

The shoulder I've been leanin on
Is the coldest place I've ever known
There's nothin left for me round here
Looks like it's time to disapear

Like the buffalo
That boy from Tupelo
The old wall down in jericho
Maybelle on the radio
I'll be gone like the five and dime
It'll be the perfect crime
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
He's the king and he oughta know

You don't love me, this I know
Don't need a bible to tell me so
It's a shame and it's a sin
Everything I coulda been to you

Your last chance Texaco
Your sweetheart of the rodeo
A juliet to your romeo
The border you cross into Nexico
I'll never understand why or how
Oh but baby its too late now
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
He's the king and he oughta know

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

Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) - Neil Young and Crazy Horse



Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.

Out of the blue
and into the black
You pay for this,
but they give you that
And once you're gone,
you can't come back
When you're out of the blue
and into the black.

The king is gone
but he's not forgotten
Is this the story
of Johnny Rotten?
It's better to burn out
'cause rust never sleeps
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten.

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.

Una delle più belle canzoni di Robbie.....Elvis è il suo grande mito....
Se la maggior parte della gente non capisce chi davvero fosse Elvis, chi vive di musica lo vede così...
E questo basta.....

Re: Omaggi Musicali Ad Elvis Presley
 

Artista: Robbie Williams
Album: Intensive Care
Titolo: Advertising Space

There's no earthly way of knowing
What was in your heart
When it stopped going
The whole world shook
A storm was blowing through you

Waiting for God to stop this
And up to your neck in darkness
Everyone around you was corrupted
Saying somethin'


There's no dignity in death
To sell the world your last breath
They're still fighting over
Everything you left over

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

And
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profit s go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is Advertising space

Through your eyes
The world was burning
Please be gentle
I'm still learning
You seemed to say
As you kept turning up

They poisoned you with compromise
At what point did you realise
Everybody loves your life
But you ahahh

Special agent for the man
Through watergate and vietnam
No one really gave a damn
Did you think the CIA did

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

And
No one learned from your mistake
We let our profits go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is Advertising space ooooohh

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profits go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is Advertising space

I've seen your daughter
Man shes cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you

TRADUZIONE

(Non c’è un modo sulla terra per sapere
cosa c’era nel tuo cuore
nel momento in cui ha smesso di battere
l’intero mondo si impressionò
una tempesta stava scatenandosi a causa tua

Aspettando che Dio la fermasse
e su fino al tuo collo nell'oscurità
tutti attorno a te erano corrotti
dicevano qualcosa

Non c’è dignità nella morte
per vendere al mondo il tuo ultimo respiro
stanno ancora lottando
per quello che hai lasciato

Ti ho visto mentre stavi ai cancelli
quando Marlon Brando passava a miglior vita
tu avevi quello sguardo sul viso
spazio pubblicitario

e nessuno ha imparato dai tuoi errori
lasciamo che i nostri profitti si sprechino
tutto quello che resta comunque
è uno spazio pubblicitario

Attraverso i tuoi occhi
il mondo stava bruciando
per piacere sii gentile
sto ancora imparando
tu sembri dire come se
ci tenevi a sorprendere

Loro ti avvelenarono col compromesso
quando te ne sei accorto?
tutti preferiscono le tue bugie a te

Un agente speciale per l’uomo
attraverso il Watergate e il Vietnam
nessuno se ne importò realmente
hai pensato che la CIA lo abbia fatto?

Ti ho visto mentre stavi ai cancelli
quando Marlon Brando passava a miglior vita
tu avevi quello sguardo sul viso

e nessuno ha imparato dai tuoi errori

Ho visto tua figlia
amico, è davvero carina
ero spaventato ma volevo avvicinarmi
amico, lei ti assomiglia tantissimo.)
