Legnano is an Italian town and comune with 59.147 inhabitants in the north-westernmost part of the City of Milan, about 20 km (12 mi) from Downtown. It's crossed by the river Olona, and it's the 13th town for inhabitants in Lombardy.
Thanks to the historic Battle of Legnano, Legnano is the only town, in addition to Rome, named in the Italian national anthem. Every year Legnanesi remember this battle with the Palio delle contrade.
Legnano is situated along the river Olona. The ground is mainly composed of pebbles, gravel, sand and clay. It was once covered by a thin layer of humus, unsuitable for the gowing of woods, so it was mostly heathland.
The most ancient proofs a settlement in Legnano dates to pre-historic times, to the so-called Culture of Remedello (21st-19th centuries BC). Later it was a Celtic center, conquered by the Romans in the 1st century BC.
In the Middle Ages, Legnano was the location of the battle in which Emperor Frederick I was defeated by the Lombard League (1176).
From 1820 to 1915, with the introduction of numerous textile and mechanical companies, the town grew from an agricultural to an industrial center. Most of the textile industries closed in the 1960s: today the services sector is the most thriving one.
Are you sleeping, I wish I was
Are you dreaming, of someone to love
Do you know what I'm thinking but I guess you don't
Cause you'd have to be around to hear my thoughts
Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
And I don't care what you think you have to say
Tomorrow comes and today is gone
And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
Somebody else
It's funny how you destroyed the better part of me
There's nothing left so there's nothing anybody can see
It's been 6 months now and you think you found everything
In a day I wasn't there, in a way you didn't care
Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
And I don't care what you think you have to say
Tomorrow comes and today is gone
And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
Somebody else
I didn't settle, I just got lazy
But I could see where you'd make the mistake
I didn't try, I just gave up
It was better to leave than stay
It's easy when you're leaving
It's harder when you try to return
But I haven't got that far yet
And that's a lesson I never want to learn
I should know better and so should you
I m exactly where you left me
There was nothing better to do
Are you still sleeping?
Are you still dreaming?
I m finally leaving but your still mixing
Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
And I don't care what you think you have to say
Tomorrow comes and today is gone
And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
Somebody else
