You Can't Get What You Want

This is a famous song from Joe Jackson:

------------------------------------------
But, on a side note, Joe Jackson was famous for another song from the end of '70s that tells a life story we all know pretty well.

Ma Joe Jackson era famoso per un'altra canzone della fine degli anni '70 che racconta una storia di vita che tutti noi conosciamo bene:
------------------------------------------

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold
Look over there! (Where?)
There's a lady that I used to know
She's married now, or engaged, or something, so I am told

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me,
There's something going wrong around here

Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street.
I wash my hair and I kid myself I look ***really*** smooth
Look over there! (Where?)
Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend
They say that looks don't count for much
If so, there goes your proof

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me,
There's something going wrong around here

But if looks could kill
There's a man there who's marked down as dead.
Cause I've had my fill
Listen you, take your hands off her head
I get so mean around this scene

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here

Edit: I just edited this very old post to change the Youtube link and nice MyOpera has changed the post date like I have written it right now. Note to myself: editing post changes the post date. Second note to myself: bomb MyOpera. I hate them.

Flash MP3 player for your blog

, ,

The Flash MP3 player I am using here comes from WordPress.
You can download the original version here:
http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/
A complete tutorial here:
http://www.macloo.com/examples/audio_player/

But you don't need to read all that stuff. Here is a short guide for MyOpera:
1. You take this file: http://files.myopera.com/LorenzoCelsi/files/music/player.swf
2. Upload the file on your "file" folder (or create a subfolder like "file/music")
3. you add this code block to your post:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://files.myopera.com/[your account]/files/music/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="http://files.myopera.com/[your account]/files/music/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&loop=no&autostart=yes&soundFile=http://files.myopera.com/[your account]/files/music/[your mp3 file]">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>
Note: change the paths with your account name and your MP3 file name. Changing "autostart=yes" with "no" the player doesn't start upon page loading. You can link to MP3 files that aren't on MyOpera setting the correct URL.

These days

,

Well Ive been out walking
I dont do that much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
For you
And all the times I had the chance to

And I had a lover
Its so hard to risk another these days
These days
Now if I seem to be afraid
To live the life I have made in song
Well its just that Ive been losing so long

Ill keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days
These days
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Dont confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

Jackson Browne
