11/08/2006

I'm making this one special evening
Taking a chance in my life
Hoping you feel the same way as I do tonight
Just try and look into my eyes
Don't be scared of what you might see there
The first time I saw you
I knew love at first sight must be true, so true, oh so true
And now I just have to explain why I feel this way
I feel joy, I feel pain
You're in my heart and it's tearing me apart
'Cause I love you, I love you, I love you!

without you

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
Can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

Can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
Can't live, I can't give anymore
(Living is without you)

september

There you go and baby, here am I.
Well, you left me here so I could sit and cry.
Well, golly gee, what have you done to me?

I guess it doesn't matter any more

Do you remember baby, last September
How you held me tight, each and every night
Well, oh baby, how you drove me crazy
I guess it doesn't matter any more

There's no use in me a-cryin'.
I've done everything and I'm sick of tryin'.
I've thrown away my nights,
Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new and baby, we'll say we're through

And you won't matter anymore

Ja! Ja! Ja!
Nein! Nein! Nein!
Ich bin nicht dein Sex Objekt
Zeig Gefuhl so ganz direkt
Ich bin nicht Dein Sex Objekt
Deine Tricks sind fast perfekt
Ich bin nicht Dein Sex Objekt
Du machst mich an und gehst dann weg
Ja! Vielleicht
Ja! Vielleicht
Warum? Warum?
Doch! Nein!
Warum? Warum?
Doch!
No! Yes! Maybe...Perhaps...Yes
No... si, si quieres
No... si, si quieres
Por que? No! Quizas.
Por que? No! A lo mejor.

my life

Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak you mind
But not on my time

They will tell you you can't sleep alone
In a strange place
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep
With somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way it's okay
You wake up with yourself

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak you mind
But not on my time
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone

ochtendhumeur

There's only one way of life
And that's your own

My father when I was younger
Took me up on to the hill
That looked down on the city smog
Above the factory spill
He said this is where I come
When I want to be free
Well he never was in his lifetime
But these words stuck with me

I ran from all of this
And I climbed that highest hill
And looked down on my life
Beneath the factory spill
I looked down onto my life
As the family disgrace
Then to all my friends on the starting line
Their wages off to chase
And all my friends and all their jobs
And all the bloody waste

CHORUS

I grew up, learned to love and laugh
Circled A's on the underpass
But the noise we thought would never stop
Died a death as the punks grew up
And we choked on our dreams
We wrestled with our fears
Running through the heartless streets
Chasing our ideas

And the problems of the world
Won't be solved by this guitar
And they won't stop coming either
By the life I've had so far
And the bright lights of my home town
Won't be getting any dimmer
Though their calling has receded now
Like some old distant singer
And they don't seem so appealing
To the eyes of this poor sinner

CHORUS

VRIJ-dag

was ze maar hier

was ze maar hier
was ze maar hier
wou ze maar komen
was ze maar hier

kwam ze maar gauw
kwam ze maar gauw
wou ze maar komen
kwam ze maar gauw

het is hier nul en rien de knots en nougabollen
het is hier zero, het is hier noppes en nihil
een emmer niets is tot mijn vrienden opgezwollen
dat ze komt is alles wat ik wil

was ze maar hier
was ze maar hier
wou ze maar komen
was ze maar hier

4 my lover

No existe un momento del dia
En que pueda apartarte de mi
El mundo parece distinto
Cuando no estas junto a mi

No hay bella melodia
En que no surjas tu
Ni yo quiero escucharla
Si no la escuchas tu

[1] - Es que te has convertido
En parte de mi alma
Ya nada me consuela
Si no estas tu tambien

Mas alla de tus labios
Del sol y las estrellas
Contigo en la distancia
Amado mio estoy

[Repeat 1]

Contigo en la distancia
Amado mio estoy, oh
Contigo

Burps

Well if you leave in dusty twilight baby, that's OK,
'Cause there are women at the bar to greet you everyday.
And you can take them back to lie with you and this in Jamie's room,
But they can never take the pain away or brighten all the gloom,
And if your hands are clenched in sorrow, may it help you ease your pain,
Though the windows have a view of city rain, city rain...

And if you walk in constant sorrow and you cry for me,
May it hit the painful memories, maybe then you'll see,
That if you drown yourself in liquor, because it keeps you company,
Then just remember who you're loosing, and be proud to set me free,
Because it don't talk back or disagree, it just make you see so hazily,
But in the morning light your life is scattered with the wind, scattered with the wind...

Well they tell you on the telephone to let him go,
I said they tell you he's a sinking ship, and he's trying to pull you down,
Don' t you know, that every time you call me up and say you want me back you know you break my heart,
You said you want me to come back home and try again, you want me to make a brand new start,
But if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because you just don't know,
Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin' whiskey...

My baby left me for the bottle and the lure of the nightlife,
Good times and crazy women and another glass of Tangueray,
But if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because you just don't know,
Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin' whiskey

(heard this couple a days ago, kinda got to me)

World kitchen

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it - New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York

I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it - in old New York
If i can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you - New York, New York

New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm a number one, top of the list
King of the hill, a number one

These little town blues, are melting away
And I'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York
And if i can make it there, I'm gonna make it anywhere

It's up to you - New York New York

New York

The End

And in the end, the love you make is equal to the love you take.

(Beatles)

Number two

Won't you be my number two
Me and number one are through
There won't be too much to do
Just smile when I feel blue

And there's not much left of me
What you get is what you see
Is it worth the energy
I leave it up to you

And if you got something to say to me
Don't try to play your funny ways on me
I know that it's really not fair of me
But my heart's seen too much action

And every time I look at you
You'll be who I want you to
And I'll do what I can do
To make a dream or two come true
If you'll be my
If you be my number two

Rocks

We met on a rainy evening in the summertime
Don’t think I need to tell you more
I needed a raise I worked so hard for this love of mine
Still I got nothing to show for it.

Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head.

Here’s a simplification of everything we’re going through
You plus me is bad news
But you’re a lovely creation and I like to think that I am too
But my friend said I look better without you.

Too tired this time to deal with old suits you wear with your ties that won’t bind.

CHORUS
Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain’t gonna be easy
Okay we’ll do it your way
But this is the last time
You’ll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.

You love the chase but hate me for the runaround
We both just tired of the whole thing.
You tell me what you want you need you know you have to have
And I just pretend I’m listening

Too tired this time to deal with old suits you wear with your ties that won’t bind.

CHORUS
Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain’t gonna be easy
Okay we’ll do it your way
But this is the last time
You’ll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.

Hot as hell cold as ice sip it slow cause it’s so nice
Dulls my senses drives my pain and still I do it again
Burns a bit to the touch dangerous if it’s too much
If this bottle could talk….
Love on the Rocks

CHORUS
Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain’t gonna be easy
Okay we’ll do it your way
But this is the last time
You’ll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.

fairytale

Cinderella’s on her bedroom floor she’s got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don’t come home anymore and she forgets why she came here.

Sleeping Beauty’s in a foul mood for shame she says
None for you dear prince, I’m tired today.
I’d rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming

CHORUS
I don’t care for your fairytale
You’re so worried 'bout the maiden,
though you know she’s only waiting on the next best thing

Snow White is doing dishes again cause what else can you do
With seven itty bitty men?
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend, says will you meet me at midnight.

The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I’ll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows.

CHORUS
I don’t care for your fairytale
You’re so worried 'bout the maiden,
though you know she’s only waiting on the next best thing

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, man made up a story
Said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he’s handsome in hindsight
but I don’t want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls 'round me
Can’t take no more of your fairytale love

CHORUS
I don’t care for your fairytale
You’re so worried bout the maiden,
though you know she’s used to waiting spent her whole life being graded on the
sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation
The story needs some mending and a better happy ending ‘cause I don’t want the next best thing no no I don’t want the next best thing.

Old maids

Sometimes I feel so alive
Sometimes I see so clear
Just like the way we always were
So young and free from fear

I lose my fear of war and dying
and all the clouds just disappear
Only my mirror sees me crying
Each time I lose another year . . .

Wouldn't be a drag to be like you
Settling down and having kids
and telling them what to do
Well I'm gonna stay . . .19 forever

We can do magic in these times
be what we want to be
We'll all be rock 'n' roll stars
immortal on TV

And if you see me looking tired
I've just been sleeping through the day
But I got something to keep me wired
So we can dance the night away

Wouldn't it be a drag to be like them
They're gonna sell out everything
But I won't get fooled again
Cause I'm gonna be . . .19 forever

You better believe it - you know my dream's still alive
You can love it or leave it
But I'm never gonna be 35

no comment

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who care about evil
And social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd?
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend

How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to give in
Easy to help out

And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who say they care about social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

let it grow

She asks me why
I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night
Hair that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why
Don't know
It's not for lack of break
Like the Grateful Dead
Darling

Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short

Down to here
Down to there
Down to where
It stops by itself

They'll be ga ga at the go go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond
Brilliantined
Biblical hair

My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

It's not all I want, but still

It was a rainy night
When he came into sight,
Standing by the road,
No umbrella, no coat.
So I pulled up alongside
And I offered him a ride.
He accepted with a smile,
So we drove for a while.
I didn’t ask him his name,
This lonely boy in the rain.
Fate, tell me it’s right,
Is this love at first sight?
Please don’t make it wrong,
Just stay for the night.

All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will
You want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
I’ve got lovin’ arms to hold on to

So we found this hotel,
It was a place I knew well
We made magic that night.
Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me,
So many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke all
I left him was a note
I told him
I am the flower you are the seed
We walked in the garden
We planted a tree
Don’t try to find me,
Please don’t you dare
Just live in my memory,
You’ll always be there

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
I’ve got lovin’ arms to hold on to

Oh, oooh, we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love

Then it happened one day,
We came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise
When he saw his own eyes
I said please, please understand
I’m in love with another man
And what he couldn’t give me
Was the one little thing that you can

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
Come on say you will, you want me too

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will baby, you want me too

All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew, yeah

For the DesperadoSgirl

Are the stars out tonight?
I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright
’cause I only have eyes for you, dear
My love must be some kind of blind love
I don’t see anybody but you
The moon may be high
But I can’t see a thing in the sky
’cause I only have eyes for you.

I don’t know if we’re in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am i
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
I only have eyes for you
My love must be some kind of blind love
I don’t see anybody but you

Crazy love

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her, that's where I belong
I guess I'm running to her like a river's song
She gives me love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humour, when I'm feeling down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
She takes away my trouble, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache in the night like a thief
She gives me love, love, love crazy love
She gives me love, crazy love
I guess I need her in the daytime
I guess I need her in the night
Just want to throw my arms around her
And kiss her, kiss her tight
She gives me love, crazy love
She gives me love, crazy, crazy love
A crazy love

But love me.

Wring my faithful heart,
Tear it all apart,
But love me.

If you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.

Beggin' on my knees,
All I ask is please, please love me
Oh yeah

You're the one who makes me grow money

You're the sun who makes me shine

When you're around I'm always laughing

I wanna make you mine



I close my eyes

And see you before me

Think I would die

If you were to ignore me

Have a look and see

Just how much I adore you

I'd get down on my knees

I'd do anything for you



I don't want, anybody else

When I think about you

I touch myself

All I want is 2 spend the night in your arms



To be around u is so-oh right

You're sheer perfection (thank u)

The fool on the hill

Day after day,
Alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Well on his way head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

woah ooh,
Round and round and round.

He never listens to them,
He knows that they're the fool
They don't like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Eenzame fietser

Hoe sterk is de eenzame fietser
die kromgebogen over zijn stuur
tegen de wind
zichzelf een weg baant?
Hoe zelfbewust de voetbalspeler
die voor de ogen van het publiek
de wedstrijd wint,
zich kampioen waant?
Hoe lacht vergenoegd de zakenman
zonder mededogen die concurrent
verslagen vindt,
zelf haast failliet gaand.

En ik zit hier tevreden
met die kleine op mijn schoot.
De zon schijnt, er is geen reden
met rotweer en met harde wind
te gaan fietsen met dat kind.

Als ie maar geen voetballer wordt,
ze schoppen hem misschien half dood.

Als ie maar geen voetballer wordt,
ze schoppen hem misschien half dood.

Maar liever dat nog
dan het bord voor zijn kop
van de zakenman,
want daar wordt hij alleen maar slechter van.

Το τρενο φενγι στισ οχτο

Το τραίνο φεύγει στις οχτώ
ταξείδι για την Κατερίνη
Νοέμβρης μήνας δεν θα μείνει
να μή θυμάσαι στις οχτώ
να μή θυμάσαι στις οχτώ
το τραίνο για την Κατερίνη
Νοέμβρης μήνας δεν θα μείνει

Σε βρήκα πάλι ξαφνικά
να πίνεις ούζο στου Λευτέρη
νύχτα δε θα 'ρθει σ' άλλα μέρη
να 'χεις δικά σου μυστικά
να 'χεις δικά σου μυστικά
και να θυμάσαι ποιός τα ξέρει
νύχτα δε θα 'ρθει σ' άλλα μέρη

Το τραίνο φεύγει στις οχτώ
μα εσύ μονάχος σου έχεις μείνει
σκοπιά φυλάς στην Κατερίνη
μεσ' στην ομίχλη πέντε οχτώ
μεσ' στην ομίχλη πέντε οχτώ
μαχαίρι στη καρδιά σου εγίνει
σκοπιά φυλάς στην Κατερίνη

Je suis

Je ne rêve plus
Je ne fume plus
Je n'ai même plus d'histoire
Je suis seule sans toi
Je suis laide sans toi
Je suis Comme une orpheline dans un dortoir
Je n'ai plus envie
De vivre ma vie
Ma vie cesse quand tu pars
Je n'ai plus de vie
Et même mon lit
Se transforme en quai de gare
Quand tu t'en vas...
Je suis malade
Complètement malade
Comme quand ma mère sortait le soir
Et qu'elle me laissant seul avec mon désespoir
Je suis malade
Parfaitement malade
T'arrive on ne sait jamais quand
Tu repars on ne sait jamais où
Et ça va faire bientôt deux ans
Que tu t'en fous...
Comme à un rocher
Comme à un péché
Je suis accroché à toi
Je suis fatiguée, je suis épuisée
De faire semblant d'être heureuse
Quand ils sont là
Je bois toutes les nuits
même tous les whiskys
Pour moi ont le même goût
Et tous les bateaux
Portent ton drapeau
Je ne sais plus où aller tu es partout...
Je suis malade
Complètement malade
Je verse mon sang dans ton corps
Et je suis comme un oiseau mort
Quand toi tu dors
Je suis malade
Parfaitement malade
Tu m'as privée de tous mes chants
Tu m'as vidée de tous mes mots
Pourtant moi j'avais du talent
Avant ta peau...
Cet amour me tue
Si ça continue
Je crèverai seule avec moi
Comme un gosse idiot
Près de ma radio
en écoutant ma propre voix qui chantera...
Je suis malade
Complètement malade
Comme quand ma mère sortait le soir
Et qu'elle me laissait seule avec mon désespoir
Je suis malade
c'est ça je suis malade
Tu m'as privée de tous mes chants
Tu m'as vidée de tous mes mots
Et j'ai le coeur complètement malade
Cerné de barricades
T'entends... Je suis malade...

In dreams

A candy colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper,
"Go to sleep, everything is alright."

I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night
I softly say a silent prayer
Like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep and dream my dreams of you

In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all the time
With you ever in dreams, in dreams

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it
If I cry
I remember that you said goodbye

It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams, beautiful dreams

(Roy Orbison)

The fool on the hill

Day after day,
Alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Well on his way head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

woah ooh,
Round and round and round.

He never listens to them,
He knows that they're the fool
They don't like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

It is what is

Shakin’ from left to right
Every move that I make
Can make you understand
There’s a lot o’ love to take

‘cause as you know
it doesn’t matter where or how
the wind might blow
in the end we’ll all watch the show

when travlin’ in the south
eatin’ gravy and melons ripe
kissin’ you on your soft mouth
so you don’t need to wipe

but tears always fall
as does snow in winter
baby behold, if you need me, just call
for I’m waiting for you hinter
across the hall

I see you’re dressed
In white silken robes
While I’m the man in black
Standing waiting in your hall

Wear my ring and sign the paper
For we’ll still be in the fall
And when snow comes
We’ll stay in bed
That, my dearest, is all

Don't leave home

Like a ghost don't need a key
Your best friend I've come to be
Please don't think of getting up for me
You don't even need to speak
When I've been here for just one day
You'll already miss me if I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends anymore

Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home

If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home

And I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker, like a child
Now all your love you give to me

When your heart is all I need

Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home

If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home

Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear and everything is new
So you won't be leaving will you

And if you're cold I'll keep you warm
And if you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home

Cause I will be your safety
and I will be your safety
and I will be your safety
Oh don’t leave home

Zo kan je het ook kaderen uiteraard ...

I found a blue hair comb with a busted tooth gonna comb out my hair in this telephone booth gonna comb out love, gonna
comb out hate gonna get me a new look and I can't wait. I took a lethal dosage of dope in my youth, bit the hook of Jesus
- Oh! The terrible truth. I swallowed it hard for a damn good while,
but now I'm combing my hair in a brand new style. Combing my hair yeah. Combing my hair yeah. Combing my hair yeah.
Combing my hair in a brand new style. I take a midnight stroll in a Love's supermarket. I like passing the rows of candy
for sale. See the pale pretty girls in the magazines? Smiling at me like they know what I mean. You take your candy dandy,
your cheap girls - ruthless! Soul suckers all gonna end up toothless! Gumming the truth of life's discount aisle. Me I'm
combing my hair in a brand new style.
[CHORUS]
He used a blue hair comb with a busted tooth to comb out the tangles of his
messed up youth. Returning in glory to the scene of his trial, he was combing his hair in a brand new style. Yeah the
sorry story of his assorted crimes - his tribulations, his suffering mind all wiped clean and left miles behind. See him
prowling the street? He got the mojo smile. He's combing his hair in a brand new style.
[CHORUS]
I don't want no hoodoos, no
voodoo gurus, no spooked out priesty-beasty, no strippers with pasties, self-professed saviors of my soul, no low-down
top-secret CIA moles, no crackpot psychopathic behavior specialists, no shriners, no shiners, no decisive moment
existentialists, that's right, no vegetable, no mineral, no institution gonna disrupt the constitution of my ingenious
hairdo solution - see I got my sly pomade, my jelly in a jar! Now don't you mistake me for no movie star, 'cause I'm just
a humble jumble of God's crooked smile. Did you check out my hair in the brand new style?
[CHORUS]

(Jim White, combing my hair in a brand new style)

I need your love tonight

Oh, oh, oh I love you so
Uh, uh, uh, I can't let you go
Ooh, ooh, don't tell me no
I need your love tonight

Oh, gee, the way you kiss
Sweedee, too good to miss
Wow-whee, want more of this
I need your love tonight

I've been waiting just for tonight
To do some lovin' and hold you tight
Don't tell me baby you gotta go
I got the hifi high and the lights down low

Hey, now, hear what I say
Oh, wow, you better stay
Pow, pow, don't run away
I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight

(reapeat 1 verse-3 verse)

I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight

Duet

I'm on the right track for lots of kissin'
So that old greenback, I won't be missin'
All the greatest things in life are free
Who needs money, not me

Cash or credit, it doesn't matter
Long as my bank books keep growin' fatter
Easy street is my favorite avenue
Who needs money, I do

Just pity all those millionaires they never can relax
Because they're always worryin' about their income tax
Why waste time on high financin', I'd rather spend it on good romancin'
What if my pockets are empty as can be
Who needs money, not me
Tell me about it

Some folks save it, some folks lend it
But as for me I want to spend it
Give me some green and my skies will be blue
Who needs money, I do

Stocks and bonds, they only bore me
Interest holds no interest for me
Who wants to sit in the lap of luxury
Who needs money, not me

When I go to bed at night instead of counting sheep
I start counting dollar bills and then I fall asleep

Making money never thrills me
It's making love that really kills me
What can I lose with my philosophy
Who needs money, not me

What do you want

I want a big yacht, I can cruise in
The kind that girls just can't refuse in
All it takes is a million or two
Who needs money, I do

Any time some gal starts flirtin'
Now that I'm broke I know for certain
She really digs my personality
Tell me, who needs money not me

Poverty's the only thing that money cannot buy
So rich or poor it pays to have M-O-N-E-Y

A gal who's tender, that's what I love

It's legal tender, I want a pile of
Just let my liquid assets overflow

You can't take it with you when you go
So, who needs money

That lovely, lovely money

Who needs money, not me

(EP en nog iemand)

Helden

Du
Könntest Du schwimmen
Wie Delphine
Delphine es tun
Niemand gibt uns eine Chance
Doch können wir siegen
Für immer und immer
Und wir sind dann Helden
Für einen Tag

Ich
Ich bin dann König
Und Du
Du Königin
Obwohl sie
Unschlagbar scheinen
Werden wir Helden
Für einen Tag
Wir sind dann wir
An diesem Tag

Ich
Ich glaub' das zu träumen
die Mauer
Im Rücken war kalt
Die Schüsse reissen die Luft
Doch wir küssen
Als ob nichts geschieht
Und die Scham fiel auf ihre Seite
Oh, wir können sie schlagen
Für alle Zeiten
Dann sind wir Helden
Nur diesen Tag
Dann sind wir Helden
Dann sind wir Helden
Dann sind wir Helden
Nur diesen Tag

Dann sind wir Helden

baby baby baby

Baby, baby, baby
Tell me do you really love me
Baby, baby, baby
Will you always be there for me?
I can't live without your loving
Baby, can't you see
Baby, baby, baby
Tell me do you love me now

I can't wait to see your face everyday
I can't explain the way I feel
When I'm around you
There's a space in my heart
That belongs to you only
And nothing else in this world
Comes close to you

Do you understand what I say/
Do you understand me?
My thing for you and I'm not playing
Is all I need to know

Baby, baby, baby
Tell me do you really love me
Baby, baby, baby
Will you always be there for me?
I can't live without your loving
Baby, can't you see
Baby, baby, baby
Tell me do you love me now

Oh, oh, oh

I can't imagine how my life would be without you
I don't know if I'd survive another day
No pressuer, but I'd love to hear you say it
Promise me it's real
And that you would never fake it

(Joss stone)

Les vieux

Les vieux ne parlent plus
ou alors seulement
parfois du bout des yeux,
Même riches ils sont pauvres,
ils n'ont plus d'illusions,
et n'ont qu'un coeur pour deux.
Chez eux ça sent le thym,
le propre, la lavande,
et le verbe d'antan,
Que l'on vive à Paris,
on vit tous en province
quand on vit trop longtemps.
Est-ce d'avoir trop ri
que leur voix se lézarde
quand ils parlent d'hier ?
Et d'avoir trop pleuré
que des larmes encore
leur perlent les paupières ?
Et s'ils tremblent un peu
est-ce de voir vieillir
la pendule d'argent
Qui ronronne au salon,
qui dit oui, qui dit non,
qui dit : "Je vous attends".

2
Les vieux ne rêvent plus,
leurs livres s'ensommeillent,
leurs pianos sont fermés,
Le petit chat est mort.
Le muscat du dimanche
ne les fait plus chanter,
Les vieux ne bougent plus,
leurs gestes ont trop de rides,
leur monde est trop petit,
Du lit à la fenêtre,
puis du lit au fauteuil,
et puis du lit au lit,
Et s'ils sortent encore
bras dessus, bras dessous,
tout habillés de raide,
C'est pour suivre au soleil
l'enterrement d'un plus vieux,
l'enterrement d'une plus laide,
Et le temps d'un sanglot
oublier toute une heure
la pendule d'argent
Qui ronronne au salon,
qui dit oui, qui dit non,
et puis qui les attend.

3
Les vieux ne meurent pas,
ils s'endorment un jour
et dorment trop longtemps,
Ils se tiennent la main,
ils ont peur de se perdre,
et se perdent pourtant
Et l'autre reste là,
le meilleur ou le pire,
le doux ou le sévère,
Cela n'importe pas,
celui des deux qui reste
se retrouve en enfer.
Vous le verrez peut-être,
vous le verrez parfois
en pluie et en chagrin
Traverser le présent.
En s'excusant déjà
de n'être pas plus loin.
Et fuir devant vous
une dernière fois
la pendule d'argent
Qui ronronne au salon,
qui dit oui, qui dit non,
qui leur dit : "Je t'attends",
Qui ronronne au salon,
qui dit oui, qui dit non,
et puis qui nous attend

I hate you then I love you

I'd like to run away from you
but if I were to leave you I would die
I'd like to brake the chains you put
around me
and yet I'll never try

no matter what you do you do you drive me crazy
I'd rather be alone
but then I know my life would be
so empty
as soon as you were gone
impossible to live with you
but I could never live without you

For whatever you do/For whatever you do
I never, never, never
want to be with anyone but you

you make me sad, you make me die
you make me laugh, you make me cry
you make me long for you
you make me live, you make me die
you make me laugh, you make me cry
you make me cry for you

I hate you, then I love you,then I love you, then I hate you
then I love you more
for whatever you do
I never, never, never
want to be in love with anyone but you

you treat me wrong, you treat me right
you let me be, you make me fight with you
I could never live without you
you make me high, you bring me down
you set me free, you hold me bound to you

I hate you, then I love you
then I love you, then I hate you, then I love you more
For whatever you do/For whatever you do
I never, never, never
want to be in love with anyone but you
I never, never, never
I never, never, never
I never, never, never
want to be in love with anyone but you.....but you

El viento en la isla

El viento es un caballo
óyelo como corre
por el mar, por el cielo.
Quiere llevarme: escucha
cómo recorre el mundo
para llevarme lejos

Escóndeme en tus brazos
por esta noche sola,
mientras la lluvia rompe
contra el mar y la tierra
su boca innumerable.

Escucha cómo el viento
me llama galopando
para llevarme lejos.

Con tu frente en mi frente,
con tu boca en mi boca,
atados nuestros cuerpos
al amor que nos quema,
deja que el viento pase
sin que pueda llevarme.

Deja que el viento corra
coronado de espuma,
que me llame y me busque
galopando en la sombra,
mientras yo, sumergido
bajo tus grandes ojos,
por esta noche sola
descansaré, amor mío.
(Neruda)

Va Pensiero di Verdi

Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate;
Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli,
Ove olezzano tepide e molli
L'aure dolci del suolo natal!

Del Giordano le rive saluta,
Di Sionne le torri atterrate...
Oh mia patria si bella e perduta!
O membranza sì cara e fatal!

Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati,
Perché muta dal salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi,
Ci favella del tempo che fu!

O simile dei Solima ai fati
Traggi un suono di crudo lamento,
O t'ispiri il Signore un concento
Che ne infonda al patire virtù!

I'm back

I hear him, before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been.
I realise he's there,
When I turn the light off and turn over.

Nobody knows about my man.
They think he's lost on some horizon.
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before,

Telling me about the sea,
All his love, 'til eternity.

Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.

He's very understanding,
And he's so aware of all my situations.
And when I stay up late,
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate.

Oh, I'm so worried about my love.
They say, "No, no, it won't last forever."
And here I am again, my girl,
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here.
Maybe he doesn't love me.
I just took a trip on my love for him.

Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.

Way to fall - Starsailor

Son, you've got a way to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know

Son, you'd better take it all
They'll tell you what they know
But they won't show

Oh, I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Son, you've got a way to kill
They're picking on you still
But they don't know

Son, you'd better wait to shine
They'll tell you what is yours
But they take mine

Oh, I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Oh, there's a hole inside my boat
I need stay afloat
For the summer long

(Break)

Oh
(Left my sweet soul)
I've got something in my throat
(Beneath the bedclothes)
I need to be alone
(I'm not coming down)
While I suffer

Oh
(Walls have ears)
There's a hole inside my boat
(But no one hears)
I need to stay afloat
(When nobody's around)
For the summer

Son, you better wait to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know

Mirror

Is it a kind of a dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where it goes
And what does it mean?
Oh is it a dream?

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Is it a kind of a shadow
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Oh is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows where you go
And where do you start?
Oh into the dark

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Sweetheart come

Come over here, babe
It ain't that bad
I don't claim to understand
The troubles that you've had
But the dogs you say they fed you to
Lay their muzzles in your lap
And the lions that they led you to
Lie down and take a nap
The ones you fear are wind and air
And I love you without measure
It seems we can be happy now
Be it better late than never

Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come to me

The burdens that you carry now
Are not of your creation
So let's not weep for their evil deeds
But for their lack of imagination
Today's the time for courage, babe
Tomorrow can be for forgiving
And if he touches you again with his stupid hands
His life won't be worth living

Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come to me

Walk with me now under the stars
For it's a clear and easy pleasure
And be happy in my company
For I love you without measure
Walk with me now under the stars
It's a safe and easy pleasure
It seems we can be happy now
It's late but it ain't never
It's late but it ain't never
It's late but it ain't never

Creep - Radiohead

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out again
She's running out
She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

Ti amero

La notte scivola sul mondo
Che si addormenterà
E la luna vestirà d'argento
Il mare e le città
E tu mi mancherai
Più ancora
Quanto non lo sai
Continuerò a credere che
Siamo un'anima, io e te
E ti amerò comunque, lo so
Anche se non sei con me
Io ti amerò
Ti porterò con me nel sole
Nei sogni che farò
Ruberò i colori del mattino
E un cielo limpido
Su cui dipingerò il tuo viso
E sorriderò
Continuerò a credere che
Siamo un'anima, io e te
E ti amerò comunque, lo so
Anche se non sei con me
Mi manchi più che mai stasera
Quanto non lo sai...
