[Tempo: 142 bpm, fisso dall’inizio alla fine.] [Batteria: motorik dritta e implacabile, cassa in quarti, hi-hat in ottavi continui, rullante sul 2 e 4, nessun fill e nessun ride. Si ferma solo nello stop finale.] [Basso: ossessivo, stessa figura di ottavi con il plettro, leggermente saturo, in primo piano. Nei pre-chorus e nel bridge resta con la batteria.] [Chitarre: chitarroni in primo piano, distorsione piena, accordi martellati e riff spigolosi. Nessun delay e nessun riverbero. Voce: sputata e gridata, vicinissima al microfono, senza melodia e senza pietà. Coro maschile urlato in unisono sul gancio “Prevention!”.] [Mix: secco e crudo, niente riverbero, niente eco, niente archi, niente tastiere.] [Intro] Arpeggio di 12 corde pulito, entra il basso melodico e un soffio d'organo Farfisa, poi le spazzole sulla batteria. [Verse 1 ] Your coat on the chair, your coat on the chair Your cup in the sink, the same cup, the same sink Nobody warns you that love is mostly logistics That love is mostly who forgot to buy the bread [Verse 2 ] We were so good at weekends, we were so good Then the weekdays moved in, and they never left We keep the door open, we keep the door open But we each stand on the other side of it [Pre-Chorus ] The rent, the rent, the bills, the bills The silence in the hall Small things, small things They pile up in the corners [Chorus - chitarre jangle piene, armonie vocali perfette ma tese] I love you, I love you, I just can't carry you too I've got my own weight, my own weight, it's all that I can hold I love you, I love you, but under the same roof Every little thing becomes a wall, becomes a wall [Verse 3 - con un filo di sarcasmo lucido] You say I never listen, I say you never ask We argue about the dishwasher like it's the end of the world Something that was a joke in March is a weapon by October A weapon by October [Verse 4] We don't even slam doors anymore, we're too polite for that We just look at the floor and swallow the rest Like an old song we've both heard a thousand times And nobody wants to sing the second verse [Pre-Chorus ] The rent, the rent, the bills, the bills The silence in the hall Small things, small things They pile up in the corners [Chorus - Pieno, chitarre elettriche in distorsione e synth ossessivi ] I love you, I love you, I just can't carry you too I've got my own weight, my own weight, it's all that I can hold I love you, I love you, but under the same roof Every little thing becomes a wall, becomes a wall [Instrumental Break - Assolo di chitarra jangle con delay leggero, , il basso tiene il tempo con eleganza ossessiva ] [Bridge ] And I don't hate you... not yet. I hate the way the light looks in this kitchen at six. I hate that we've become two people... ...who apologise by leaving the room. Maybe love isn't strong enough to carry everything the days put in it. [Final Chorus ] I love you, I love you, I just can't carry you too And we're so tired, so tired, of being tired together I love you, I love you, but under the same roof I can't carry you too... I can't carry you too. [Outro - Solo arpeggio di 12 corde e un accordo di basso che si spegne lentamente] I love you. ( I love you.) I just can't carry you too la la la la laaa ( la la la la laaa ) la la la la laaa ( la la la la la laaaaa )
