Hoe voel jij je? Uitgedrukt in songteksten. Deel 8

The Cygnet Committee (door David Bowie)
drukt het denk ik het beste uit, thans, in het hier & nu:

I bless you madly
Sadly as I tie my shoet.
I love you badly
Just in time, at times, I guess.
Because of you I need to rest,
Because it's you that sets the test.

So much has gone and little is new
And as the sparrow sings
Dawn chorus for
Someone else to hear,
The Thinker sits alone growing older
And so bitter.

"I gave Them life,
I gave Them all.
They drained my very soul...dry.
I crushed my heart to ease Their pains
No thought for me remains there.
Nothing can They spare.
What of me?
Who praised Their efforts to be free?
Words of strength and care and sympathy.
I opened doors that would have blocked Their way.
I braved Their cause to guide, for little pay.
I ravaged at my finance just for Those,
Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility.
Those who said a new world, new ways ever free.
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me."

I bless you madly,
Sadly as I tie my shoes.
I love you badly
Just in time, at times I guess.
Because of You I need to rest, oh yes,
Because it's You that sets the test.

So much has gone and little is new
And as the sunrise stream
Flickers on me,
My friends talk
Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word.

"We had a friend, a talking man
Who spoke of many powers he had.
Not of the best of men, but Ours.
We used him.
We let him use his powers.
We let him fill Our needs.
Now We are strong.

And the road is coming to its end.
Now the damned have no time to make amends.
No purse of token fortunes stands in Our way.
The silent guns of love will blast the sky.

We broke the ruptured structure built of age.
Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage.
Where money stood
We planted seeds of rebirth
And stabbed the backs of fathers,
Sons of dirt.

Infiltrated business cesspools,
Hating through Our sleeves,
Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat
Stoned the poor on slogans such as

'Wish You Could Hear,'
'Love Is All We Need,'
'Kick Out The Jams,'
'Kick Out Your Mother,'
'Cut Up Your Friend,'
'Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In the End.'

And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above.
And We Can Force You to Be Free.
And We Can Force You to Believe."

And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain,
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain,
For they knew not the words of the Free States' refrain,
It said:

"I believe in the Power of Good.
I Believe in the State of Love.
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right.
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right."

And I open my eyes and look around,
And I see a child laid slain on the ground.
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows,
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command.
But not hearing anymore-
Not hearing anymore,
Just the shrieks from the old rich.

And I Want to Believe
In the madness that calls 'Now',
And I Want to Believe
That a light's shining through
Somehow.

And I Want to Believe
And You Want to Believe
And We Want to Believe
And We Want to Live
Oh, We Want to Live

We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live

I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live

Live
Live
Live

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way
Through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you beggin' please
Beggin' please

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Comsuming, confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending
Controlling, I can't seem...

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
I've felt this way before
So insecure...

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distructing, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting, how I can't seem...

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
I've felt this way before
So insecure...

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Comsuming...
This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending
Controlling...

Confusing what is real

spetter pieter pater
lekker in t water
ga maar vast naar huis
ik kom een druppel later

Dit spreekt gewoon voor zich ...

Perhaps - Cake

You won't admit you love me.
And so how am I ever to know?
You only tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
A million times I ask you,
And then I ask you over again.
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

If you can't make your mind up,
We'll never get started.
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me,
Say yes.
But if you don't, dear, confess.
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

If you can't make your mind up,
We'll never get started.
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me,
Say yes.
But if you don't, dear, confess.
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps,
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps,

Driven Like The Snow

Still night, nothing for miles,
White curtain come down,
Kill the lights in the middle of the road
And take a look around.....
It don't help to be one of the chosen
One of the few, to be sure
When the wheels are spinning around
And the ground is frozen through, and you're
Driven, like the snow
Pure in heart
Driven together
And given
Away to the west
A white dress
?Til the river don't run
A black dress
Looking like mine
?Til the sun don't shine no more
Where the sky meet the ground
Where the street fold round
Where the voice you hold don't
make no sound, look
Snow on the river and two by two
Took a lot to live a lot like you, I don't
Go there now, but I hear they sung
Their "Fuck Me And Marry Me Young?
Some wild idea and a big white bed, now
You know better than that, I said,
Like a voice in the wind blow little crystals down
Like brittle things will break before they turn
Like lipstick on my cigarette
And the ice get harder overhead
Like think it twice but never never learn...

And the mist will wrap around us
And the crystal, if you touch it...

And the cars
Lost in the drift
Are there
And the people that drive
Lost in the drift
Are there
And the cares I've
Lost in the drift
Are there
Theirs, ours,
Lost in the drift
Are..
Driven
Driven together
And driven
Apart

Werd wakker in de namiddag
En Elisabeth was er niet
Met mijn ogen gesloten door het huis gegaan
Want echt zien wil ik het niet
Ik had zo graag dat je wel hier was
Maar waar je dan ook bent
Ik hoop dat ik daar ook mag komen, ooit
En dat je mij nog kent
Slaap zacht, Elisabeth

Niet iedereen kan een held zijn
Er moeten ook mensen gered
De truc is dansen op de gulden middenweg
En dat red ik nog maar net
Niemand die vertellen kan
Waarom en waarom jij
En ik want ik ben er nog
Ik sleep me naar de voordeur
En dan kijk ik is de middenweg al vrij

En ik zeg
Slaap zacht, Elisabeth

Soms zie ik je in de kleedkamer
Vlak voor het eerste lied
Soms zie ik je ineens tussen de mensen staan
Maar als ik later bij d'r weg ga was je 't niet
Ik weet dat je nooit meer komen zal
Maar ik hou vast aan wat het was
Vannacht droom ik ons weer als koningin
En koning van ons tweedehands matras

En ik zeg
Slaap zacht, Elisabeth
Slaap zacht
Elisabeth, slaap zacht
