Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey," a dazzling, academy award winning visual achievement and compelling drama of man vs. machine.

The Happiest Days of our Lives

When we grew up and went to school

There were certain teachers who would

Hurt the children in any way they could
"OOF!" [someone being hit]
By pouring their derision

Upon anything we did

And exposing every weakness

However carefully hidden by the kids

But in the town, it was well known

When they got home at night, their fat and

Psychopathic wives would thrash them

Within inches of their lives.

Another Brick in the Wall Part 2

We don't need no education

We dont need no thought control

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teachers leave them kids alone

Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!

All in all it's just another brick in the wall.

All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

We don't need no education

We dont need no thought control

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teachers leave them kids alone

Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!

All in all it's just another brick in the wall.

All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
"Wrong, Do it again!"

"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding.

How can youhave any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"

"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!"

Where The Streets Have no Name

I want to run I want to hide

I want to tear down the walls

That hold me inside

I want to reach out

And touch the flame

Where the streets have no name

I want to feel sunlight on my face

I see the dust cloud disappear

Without a trace

I want to take shelter from the poison rain

Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name

We're still building

Then burning down love

Burning down love

And when I go there

I go there with you

It's all I can do

The city's aflood

And our love turns to rust

We're beaten and blown by the wind

Trampled in dust

I'll show you a place

High on a desert plain

Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name

We're still building

Then burning down love

Burning down love

And when I go there

I go there with you

It's all I can do

Our love turns to rust

We're beaten and blown by the wind

Blown by the wind

Oh, and I see love

See our love turn to rust

We're beaten and blown by the wind

Blown by the wind

Oh, when I go there

I go there with you I

t's all I can do

Wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day

That they're gonna throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow

Realized what you gotta do

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street

That the fire in your heart is out

I'm sure you've heard it all before

But you never really had a doubt

I don't believe that anybody feels

The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

There are many things that I would

Like to say to youI don't know how

Because maybe

You're gonna be the one who saves me ?

And after allYou're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day?

But they'll never throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow

Realized what you're not to do

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do

About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding

And all the lights that light the way are blinding

There are many things that I would like to say to you

I don't know how

I said maybeYou're gonna be the one who saves me ?

And after all

You're my wonderwall

I said maybe

You're gonna be the one who saves me ?

And after an

You're my wonderwall

Said maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

You're gonna be the one that saves me

You're gonna be the one that saves me

One Better Day

Arlington House

Address no fixed abode

An old man in a three-piece suite

Sits in the road

He stares across the water

And sees right through the lock

But on and up like outstretched hands

His mumbled words, his fumbled words

Further down there's a photo booth

A million plastic bags

And an old woman filling out

A million baggage tags

But when she get thrown out

Three bags at a time

She spies the old chap in the road

To share her bags with, she has bags of time

Surrounded by his past

On a short white line

He sits while cars pass

Either side

Takes his time

Trying to remember

One better day

A while ago when people stopped

To hear him say

Walking 'round you sometimes

Hear the sunshine

Beating down in time with the

Rhythm of your shoes

Now she has walked

Enough through rainy town

She rests her back against his

And sits down

She's trying to remember

One better day

Awhile ago when people stopped

To hear her say

Walking 'round you sometimes

Hear the sunshine

Beating down in time with the

Rhythm of your shoes

Walking 'round you sometimes

Hear the sunshine

Beating down in time with the

Rhythm of your shoes

The feeling of arriving

When you've nothing left to lose

A Clockwork Orange is a speculative fiction novel by Anthony Burgess, published in 1962, and was later the basis for a 1971 film adaptation of the same name by Stanley Kubrick. Anthony Burgess wrote that the title was a reference to an alleged old Cockney expression "as queer as a clockwork orange".

War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four) è il titolo di uno dei più celebri romanzi di George Orwell, pubblicato nel 1949 ma scritto nel 1948 (il titolo è ottenuto invertendo le ultime due cifre del primo anno della stesura). Con quest'opera Orwell intendeva lanciare un monito contro gli abusi del potere, contro l'appiattimento della coscienza e dei sentimenti e contro la sopraffazione mentale compiuta dalle ideologie.

Altro argomento è quello legato alla comunicazione, alla propaganda e al linguaggio, grazie all'invenzione orwelliana del bispensiero e soprattutto della neolingua: con la creazione della neolingua si censura l'utilizzo di molte parole, convogliando quelle sgradite (come ad esempio "libertà, democrazia, verità" e qualsiasi argomento che a queste possa ricondurre) nell'unico termine "psicoreato": in questo modo diventa impossibile formulare, e a lungo andare anche solo pensare ad un argomento "proibito". Questo per vietare anche solo di pensare in modo divergente dai dettami del governo totalitario sotto il Grande Fratello.
Il termine "Grande Fratello" è ormai invalso nell'uso comune della lingua italiana, anche se è stato fatto notare che "Big Brother" sarebbe in realtà il "Fratello maggiore" (nota presente nella seconda e più recente traduzione del libro in Italia).

Uno dei libri più geniali che io abbia letto!
