Waar kan ik heen, ik kan niet naar Duitsland
Kan niet naar Duitsland, daar zijn ze zo streng
Waar kan ik heen, ik kan niet naar Chili
Kan niet naar Chili, daar doen ze zo eng

'k Wil niet wonen in Koeweit
Want Koeweit dat is me te heet
En wat Amerika betreft
Dat land bestaat niet echt

Waar kan ik heen, 'k wil niet naar Noord-Ierland
Niet naar Noord-Ierland, daar gaat alles stuk
Waar kan ik heen, ik kan niet naar China
'k Wil niet naar China, dat is me te druk

'k Wil niet wonen in Schotland
Want Schotland dat is me te nat
En de USSSR
Dat gaat me net te ver

Refrein:
Is er leven op Pluto
Kun je dansen op de maan
Is er een plaats tussen de sterren
Waar ik heen kan gaan
Is er leven op Pluto
Kun je dansen op de maan
Is er een plaats tussen de sterren
Waar ik heen kan gaan

Waar kan ik heen, ik kan niet naar Cuba
'k Wil niet naar Cuba, dat is me te zoet
Waar kan ik heen, ik kan niet naar Polen
'k Wil niet naar Polen, daar gaat het te goed

'k Wil niet wonen in Lapland
Want Lapland dat is me te koud
En ik wil weg uit Nederland
Want hier krijg ik het benauwd

Refrein

'k Heb getwijfeld over België
Omdat iedereen daar lacht
'k Heb getwijfeld over België
Want dat taaltje is zo zacht

'k stond zelfs in dubio
Maar ik nam geen enkel risico
'k heb getwijfeld over België
'k stond zelfs in dubio
Maar ik nam geen enkel risico
'k heb getwijfeld over België

Roger Whittaker Streets of London

Have you seen the old man
In the closed-down market
Kicking up the paper,
with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
And held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me you're lonely,
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
She's no time for talking,
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.

Chorus

In the all night cafe
At a quarter past eleven,
Same old man is sitting there on his own
Looking at the world
Over the rim of his tea-cup,
Each tea last an hour
Then he wanders home alone

Chorus

And have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with
The medal ribbons that he wears.
In our winter city,
The rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn't care

Chorus

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate

If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go

This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go

And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you

But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too

Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith...

Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more

Yes I've gotta have faith...

Starsailor - Silence Is Easy

Silence Is Easy

Everybody says that they're looking for a shelter
Got a lot to give
But I don't know how to help him

I should just let it go
'Til they learn how to grow
And how to liberate

Everybody says that he's looking for a shelter
Got a lot to give
But I don't know how I felt him

They should just let it go
Till these cities learn to grow
And how to liberate

Silence is easy
It just becomes me
You don't even know me
You all lie about me

Everybody says that I'm looking for a home now
Looking for a boy or I'm looking for a girl now
But I can still let it go
I can still learn to grow
Into a child again

Silence is easy
It just becomes me
You don't even know me
But why lie about me?

Silence is easy
It just becomes me
You don't even know me
Why do you hate me?

Silence is easy
It just becomes me
You don't even know me
You all lie about me

Silence is easy
It just becomes me
You don't even know me
You all lie about me

3 Doors Down met het nummer Loser

Breathe in right away, nothing seems
to fill this place
I need this every time, take your
lies get off my case
Some day I will find, a love that flows
Through me like this
This will fall away, this will fall away

Youre getting closer, to pushing me
Off of lifes little edge
Cause Im a loser and sooner or later
You know I'll be dead
Youre getting closer, youre holding the
Rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause Im a loser, Im a loser, yeah

This is getting old, I cant break these
Chains that I hold
My bodys growing cold, theres nothin
Left of this mind or my soul
Addiction needs a pacifier, the buzz of
This poison is taking me higher
This will fall away, this will fall away

Youre getting closer, to pushing me
Off of lifes little edge
Cause Im a loser and sooner or later
You know I'll be dead
Youre getting closer, youre holding
the rope and Im taking the fall
Cause Im a loser, I'm a loser!

Youre getting closer, to pushing me
Off of lifes little edge
Cause Im a loser and sooner or later
You know I'll be dead
Youre getting closer, youre holding
the rope and Im taking the fall
Cause Im a loser!

Youre getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life's little edge
Cause Im a loser and sooner or later
You know i'll be dead
Youre getting closer, youre holding
the rope and Im taking the fall
Cause Im a loser!

Ik voel me happy dus vandaar dit liedje

Counting Crows - Accidentally In Love

So she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love

Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love

So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love

Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no

Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love

We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love (x7)

Accidentally

I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally (X 2)

Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her

Love ...I'm in love

It's only when I lose myself in someone else
That I find myself
I find myself


Something beautiful is happening inside for me
Something sensual, it's full of fire and mystery
I feel hypnotised
I feel paralysed
I have found heaven


There's a thousand reasons
Why I shouldn't spend my time with you
For every reason not to be here
I can think of two
To keep me hanging on
Feeling nothing's wrong
Inside your heaven


It's only when I lose myself in someone else
That I find myself
I find myself


I can feel the emptiness inside me
Fade and disappear
There's a feeling of contentment
Now that you are here
I feel satisfied
I belong inside
Your velvet heaven


Did I need to sell my soul for pleasure like this
Did I have to lose control to treasure your kiss
Did I need to place my heart in the palm of your hand
Before I could even start to understand


It's only when I lose myself in someone else
That I find myself
I find myself

Placebo - Protect me from what I want

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me protect me

Maybe we're victims of fate
Remember when we'd celebrate
We'd drink and get high until late
And now we're all alone
Wedding bells ain't gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now we're all alone

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me protect me..

Radiohead: "I'm not here, this isn't happening...."

Hello

1-I wish I was little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
and a '64 Impala

Dit geldt al 1,5 jaar voor mij... en ik ben nog steeds dolgelukkig met mijn vriendje...

Finally Found
By Honeyz/Henry Binns/Yoyo Olugbo

Ohh, ohh, ohh. Ohh, ohh

I can't believe you're here with me
And now it seems my world's complete
And I never want this moment to end
I close my eyes and still I see
My dreams become reality
And now I know how it feels to be loved

I prayed so many nights that you would come my way
An angel from above to light my darkest day
I think it's time for you to heed these lines
'Coz there's something I wanna say

I've finally found what I've been looking for
And now you know I'm gonna love you more
Hold me tight 'coz it's always been you
(It's always been you)
To think that you were always there
To be my friend and wipe away my tears
Now it's clear that it's always been you

Sometimes you don't expect that friends
Can become lovers in the end
Only god knows what the future will bring
So hold me close and don't let go
'Coz this is love, boy don'y you know?
And we're gonna be together for eternity

I've prayed so many nights that you would come my way
An angel from above to light my darkest day
Love so strong, it can't be wrong
It's with you that I belong

I've finally found what I've been looking for
And Now you know I'm gonna love me more
Hold me tight 'coz it's always been you
(It's always been you)
To think that you were always there
To be my friend and wipe away my tears
Now it's clear that it's always been you
(You-ou-ou-ou)

(This time)
This time, I'm gonna make sure it turns out alright
I wanna be your everything, by your side
For the rest of a my life
(This love)
This love, feels the way that love should be
Look in my eyes, and realise there's no disguise
'Coz I'm in love with you

I've finally found what I've been looking for
And now you know I'm gonna love me more
Hold me tight 'coz it's always been you
To think that you were always there
(You were always there)
To be my friend and wipe away my tears
(Wipe away my tears)
Now it's clear that it's always been you
(It's always been you)

[Repeat Chorus to fade]

You do something to me - something deep inside
I’m hanging on the wire - with love I’ll never find
You do something wonderful - then chase it all away
Mixing my emotions - that throws me back again

Hanging on the wire, I’m waiting for the change
I’m dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame-
An’ feel real again.

You do something to me - somewhere deep inside
I’m hoping to get close to- a peace I cannot find-

Dancing through the fire- just to catch a flame
Just to get close to, just close enough-
To tell you that……

You do something to me-something deep inside

Thats why this city is filled with a bunch of fuckin idiots, STILL:
thats why the first motherfucker poppin some shit he gets KILLED.
thats why we call dont call it detroit we call it Amityville.
you gettin capped after just havin a cavity FILLED.
hahahaha!
thats why were crowned the murder capital, STILL:
THIS AINT DETROIT! THIS IS MOTHERFUCKIN HAMBURGER HILL!
we dont do driveby's; we park in front of houses and shoot
and when the police come we fuckin shoot it out with m too
thats the mentality here
thats the reality here
did i just hear somebody say they wanna challange me here?
while im holdin a pistol with this many calipers here?!?!?!
plus this registration that just made this shit valid this year??!?!
cuz once i snap i cant be held accountable for my actions
thats when accidents happen
when a 1000 bullets come at ya house and collapse the foundation around you and they found you and your family in it, GODDAMN admit it when he told u he's MENTALLY ILL FROM AMITYVILLE

RAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Two weeks away it feels like the whole world should've changed
But I'm home now
And things still look the same
I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack
Try to forget for one more night
That I'm back in my flat on the road
Where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can't watch the sunset
I don't have time
I don't have time

[Chorus:]
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanitation
Run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here
Try to remind myself that I was happy here
Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away
From the road where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can watch the sunset
And take my time
Take all our time

[Chorus]
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

I wanna see you again
Two weeks away, all it takes to change and turn me around I've fallen
I walked away and never said that I wanted to see you again

[Chorus x2]
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again

Kijk naar buiten door het raam
Zie me staan hier in de sneeuw
Ik ben gekomen om te lachen
Om de blunder van de eeuw

Laat je man maar rustig slapen
Dan hebben wij even de tijd
Blijf maar warm bij het raam staan,
Ik wil alleen even wat kwijt
Of eigenlijk wil ik wat weten:
Heb je nu alles wat je wou?
Werd je wakker met een glimlach?
Zegt 'ie vaak: "Ik hou van jou" ?
Houdt 'ie je vast als je soms bang bent?
Kent hij je angst en je verdriet?
Alleen maar schudden met je hoofd, lief
Logisch dat je me verliet

Ik ga weg
Ik ga lopen, ik ga lopen tot de zon komt
Ik ga weg,
tot de zon me achterhaalt
Lopen tot de zon komt
Tot 'ie straalt

Blijf maar binnen, het is goed zo
Ik wou je zien als laatste keer
Wat we samen vroeger droomden
Weet de helft van ons niet meer
Ik hoop dat je gelukkig wordt
Ik hoop dat ik me niet vergis
Ik hoop dat ik gelukkig word
Nu ik zie wat ik zo mis

Houdt 'ie je vast soms, als je bang bent?
Kent hij je angst en je verdriet?
Alleen maar schudden met je hoofd, lief
Logisch dat je me verliet

Ik ga lopen tot de zon komt,
Tot de zon me achterhaalt
Lopen tot de zon komt
Tot 'ie straalt...

I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
It don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend that you've forgiven me

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

Springtime in the city
Always such relief from the winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold
If you know what I mean
Everyone's got an agenda, don't stop
Keep that chin up, you'll be all right
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?
'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I know I let you down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying for it every day

So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell
It doesn't really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I see your face
I see your face

The Streets - Dry Your Eyes
_{ik zet dr maar een deel neer anders is het zo lang...}
"Dry Your Eyes"

In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round
I stand there for a minute starin’ straight into the ground
Lookin’ to the left slightly, then lookin’ back down
World feels like it’s caved in – proper sorry frown
Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us
I can change and I can grow or we could adjust
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
We can even have an open relationship, if you must
I look at her she stares almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over like she’s lookin’ straight through me
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
When they open up she’s lookin’ down at her feet

Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over

So then I move my hand up from down by my side
It's shakin’, my life is crashin’ before my eyes
Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh
‘Cause I can’t imagine my life without you and me
There’s things I can’t imagine doin’, things I can’t imagine seein’
It weren't supposed to be easy, surely
Please, please, I beg you please
She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she’s blessed with
She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures
By pushin’ my hand away to my chest, from hers

zijn er serieus mensen die dit allemaal lezen ofzo?

ja

Ja
