Year 1972 (MCMLXXII) was a leap year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. Within the context of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) it was the longest year ever, as two leap seconds were added during this 366-day year, an event which has not since been repeated. (If its begin and end are defined using mean solar time (the legal time scale) then its duration was 31622401.141 seconds of Terrestrial Time (or Ephemeris Time), which is slightly shorter than 1908).
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at the age of 13. He began his career there in 1954, working with Sun Records owner Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was the most important popularizer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country and rhythm and blues. RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for over two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", released in January 1956, was a number one hit. He became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll with a series of network television appearances and chart-topping records. His energized interpretations of songs, many from African American sources, and his uninhibited performance style made him enormously popular—and controversial. In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender.
Ernest Borgnine (born Ermes Effron Borgnino; January 24, 1917) is an American actor of television and film. His career has spanned more than six decades. He was an unconventional lead in many films of the 1950s, including his Academy Award-winning turn in the 1955 film Marty. On television, he played Quinton McHale in the 1962–66 series McHale's Navy and co-starred in the mid-1980s action series Airwolf, in addition to a wide variety of other roles. Borgnine is also known for his role as Mermaid Man in the animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. Borgnine earned an Emmy Award nomination at age 92 for his work on the series ER.
Borgnine was born in Hamden, Connecticut, the son of Anna (née Boselli), who immigrated to the United States from Carpi (Modena, Italy), and Camillo Borgnino, who immigrated to the U.S. from Ottiglio (Province of Alessandria, Italy).
His parents separated when he was two years old, and he and his mother went to live in Italy. By 1923, his parents had reconciled, and the family name was changed from Borgnino to Borgnine. The family had settled in North Haven, Connecticut, where he attended public schools. His mother also had the passion to develop her own style of dance.[citation needed] Anna gave her son a lot of moral support and he stood closely by her at all times.[citation needed]
La mattina in provincia era più fredda
Ma qualcuno sparava in città
Mio padre e mia madre crescevano in fretta
E' una grande responsabilità
Con un paese che cambia
Lo stato che mangia e licenzia
Quel mutuo chi lo pagherà
Per un figlio egoista che piange e che chiede
Il gioco che vede alla pubblicità
Ma una seconda occasione questa notte
E' là fuori per me e te
E' una rivoluzione alle porte
Non è tardi x vedere
E si la scuola è una jungla però lo si scorda
Comunque a sedici anni è una merda
Il futuro è una macchia e manco m'importa
Io vado x inerzia poi in un battito d'ali
Ci siamo trovati di colpo spostati 10 anni più in là
Un amico sparisce uno s'imborghesisce fa figli
E dispensa consigli e ovvietà
Ma una seconda occasione questa notte
E' là fuori x me e te
E' una rivoluzione alle porte
Non è tardi x vedere 1972 1972
Qui niente cambia in meglio
E non mi sento del tutto un uomo
Ma almeno adesso sono sveglio
Quasi come nuovo
Ma una seconda occasione questa notte
E' la fuori x me e te
E' una rivoluzione alle porte non è tardi x vedere
She was feeling 1972
Grooving to a Carole King tune
Is it too late, baby?
Is it too late?
That boy was always up to no good
Smoking pot and playing pool
In the afternoon
Unemployed and high
We're going through the changes
Hoping for a replacement
Until we find a way out of this hole
Spanish girl with the tattoo
Working nights at the drive through
And she asks herself
Could this be all?
Screwing in a motel room
Watching news on channel two
Victoria, tell me
Where is your dream?
We're going through some changes
Hoping for a replacement
Until we find a way out of this
We're going through the changes
Hoping for a replacement
Until we find a way out of this
A way out of this hole
Out of this hole
"Moving on from 1972 ain't an easy task," he said
Says he's been sober since she left him for dead
And the old man takes a swig of his non-alcoholic beer
And the tired man proudly takes a drag
It's been nearly 28 years
And it still blows me away how easily time is wasted
And it still blows me away how easily we're kept wounded
Anger is so real
"Didn't mean to say the things I told you," I said
Your interpretation was in your head
I guess you could chock it up to a life experience
Go ahead and live your life while it's full of bitterness
And it still blows me away how easily time is wasted
And it still blows me away how easily we're kept wounded
Anger is so real
And it still blows me away how easily time is wasted
And it still blows me away how easily we're kept wounded

How easily were kept wounded
Anger is so real...
