Due Brani Horror

Visto che questo è il week end horror per il discorso di Halloween e la festa dei morti, il venerdì musicale è dedicato a due brani dei Ramones a tinte macabre. Entrambi sono dedicati a due film horror, e uno ne è addirittura la colonna sonora.

Parlo ovviamente di Pet Sematary, brano che fa parte della soundtrack del film, e di Chain saw, ispirato al film Non Aprite quella Porta (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre).
Del primo brano poi, c’è anche un videoclip dedicato, ben radicato nella mia memoria di ragazzino. In prima media, il professore di artistica ci chiese di fare un disegno libero per valutare le nostre capacità, e io ritrassi il video in questione.

Pet Sematary

Under the arc of a weather stain boards,
Ancient goblins, and warlords,
Come out of the ground, not making a sound,
The smell of death is all around,
And the night when the cold wind blows,
No one cares, nobody knows.

[CHORUS]
I don’t want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,
I don’t want to live my life again,
I don’t want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,
I don’t want to live my life again.

Follow Victor to the sacred place,
This ain’t a dream, I can’t escape,
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones,
Spirits moaning among the tombstones,
And the night, when the moon is bright,
Someone cries, something ain’t right.

The moon is full, the air is still,
All of a sudden I feel a chill,
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away,
Skeletons dance, I curse this day,
And the night when the wolves cry out,
Listen close and you can hear me shout.

Chain Saw

Oh, oh, oh
Sitting here with nothin’ to do
Sitting here thinkin’ only of you
But you’ll never get out of there
She’ll never get out of there.
Texas chain saw massacre
They took my baby away from me
But she’ll never get out of there
She’ll never get out of there
I don’t care, wohoho

When I saw her on the corner
She told me told me told me told me
She wouldn’t go far
Ooh, now I know I’m so much in love
Cause she’s the only girl that I’m ever thinking of
