“Tiny Trains” continua sulle stesse coordinate. A quanto ho capito quando ci siamo conosciuti Manuel aveva una specie di collezione di trenini elettrici, e nel film “Love&Pop” vengono usati come metafora per rapportare il mondo sensibile a quello immaginifico. Il brano nacque da una sfira di Porlock di fare un brano “alla Pizzicato 5″ e il mio desiderio di scrivere una canzone con un canone. Poi sono stato attraversato dal mio periodo “Flaming Lips” e il “treno” ha completamente deragliato….
lyrics
Canone#1:
Let’s take a train and let’s go
Just pick a track and let flow
Parallel lines
Beating the time
as long there’s steel in your eyes
Canone#2:
Trees go by on ceramic floors
See the station near the close door
Locomotive put aside
heedless daddy doesn’t mind
we’ll never reach the station
Chours#1:
Have you ever wondered
’bout animals?
Standing still on plastic hills
they wouldn’t move
they cannot tell nor talk
Seems like they forgot the words
when they realized
that noting worth the toils.
Freedom just a state of mind
takes away
your logic for a ride
Chours#2
Have you ever wondered
’bout artefacts
standing by beside the clock
they wouldn’t cry
they cannot tell nor talk
seems like men forbade them words
when they realized
they only would annoy
Freedom just a state of mind
running wild
on tiny trains to ride
