With their 1973 debut album Troia they became an overnight sensation, improvising surreal stories over carefully-arranged orchestral pieces. The formula was repeated on their subsequent 13 albums (the most recent of which appeared in 1994), with an increasing amount of profanity in the lyrics and references to famous songs in the music. In the mid-Eighties they even made two cheap B-movies.
Morire in porche
Squallor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E non eri ancora mia eri di un altro
Mi sei costata una follia
Ma eri bella amica mia sembravi un Porsche
Poi contro un albero t'amai
E il cruscotto ti baciai eri a noleggio
Ebbi la frattura del polmone
Quando ti saltò il pistone
Morire in Porsche, perché
Ora del tuo amore faccio senza
Perché sto in convalescenza all'ospedale
Oggi il primario Dupignon
Mi ha prescritto un biberon
Perché morire morire in Porsche
These lyrics tell a story of a person who bought a Porsche for someone they were infatuated with. However, at the time, the person belonged to someone else. Despite this, the singer couldn't resist the allure of the individual and ended up crashing the car into a tree while making love on the dashboard. The suggestive lyrics imply that the experience was intense and passionate.
The line "Mi sei costata una follia" (You cost me a folly) suggests that the person spent a significant amount of money on the Porsche, emphasizing their infatuation. The comparison between the person and a Porsche highlights their attractiveness and desirability. The car, being associated with luxury and speed, symbolizes the intensity of the relationship.
The next set of lyrics describes the consequences of the accident. The singer suffered a collapsed lung (frattura del polmone) when the car's engine (pistone) malfunctioned. The phrase "Morire in Porsche, perché" (To die in a Porsche, why) suggests that even though the incident was dangerous and potentially life-threatening, the singer acknowledges the thrill they experienced.
In the final paragraphs, the tone shifts as the singer reveals that they are now in a hospital, in a state of convalescence. They no longer have the person they were infatuated with, and the desire to die in a Porsche has diminished. The mention of "primario Dupignon" suggests that the singer is under medical care, as this may be the name of a physician or specialist. The prescription of a biberon (baby bottle) implies that the singer is in need of emotional nurturing or support, possibly indicating a state of emotional fragility or vulnerability due to the loss of the intense relationship and the car.
Overall, these lyrics portray a passionate and reckless love affair that resulted in both physical and emotional consequences for the singer. The Porsche represents the intensity and allure of the relationship, while the accident serves as a metaphorical turning point that marks the end of the passionate affair.

Io ti ho comprato un anno fa
I bought you a year ago
E non eri ancora mia eri di un altro
And you were not yet mine, you belonged to another
Mi sei costata una follia
You cost me a fortune
Ma eri bella amica mia sembravi un Porsche
But you were beautiful, my dear friend, you seemed like a Porsche
Poi contro un albero t'amai
Then I loved you against a tree
E il cruscotto ti baciai eri a noleggio
And I kissed your dashboard, you were on rental
Ebbi la frattura del polmone
I had a lung fracture
Quando ti saltò il pistone
When your piston blew
Morire in Porsche, perché
To die in a Porsche, why
Ora del tuo amore faccio senza
Now I do without your love
Perché sto in convalescenza all'ospedale
Because I am convalescing in the hospital
Oggi il primario Dupignon
Today, Chief Doctor Dupignon
Mi ha prescritto un biberon
Prescribed me a baby bottle
Perché morire morire in Porsche
Because to die, to die in a Porsche
