Hoe voel je je nu, uitgedrukt in songteksten (#9)

soon I'm gonna slip away
in the night I feel it creeping, creeping, creeping

I'm so sleepy yeah
I'm so sleepy yeah
I could lay my head on a piece of lead
and imagine it was a springy bed
'cause I'm sleepy, sleepy

I can't keep my mind away from my dreams,
I hear them calling,calling, calling
soon I'm gonna slip away
soon I'm gonna slip away
soon I'm gonna slip away
in the night I'm gonna slip away
I wont fight it, I'll just ride it

I'm so sleepy yeah
I'm so sleepy yeah
I cuold lay my head on a piece of lead
and imagine it was a springy bed
'cause I'm sleepy, sleepy
yeah

There you were freaking out,
Trying to get your head around the fact that me and you and love is dead
See how I'm trippin' out
'Cos you can't decide what you really want from me

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L

There you were shouting out
Cranking up your altercations, getting upset in your desperation
Screaming and hollering
How could this love become so paper thin?

You're playing so hard to get
You're making me sweat just to hold your attention
I can't give you nothing more
If you ain't givin' nothing to me

Don't you know that
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L
Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
Seems like you're stepping on the pieces
Of my broken shell
'Cos you make me love you, love you
With a Little L, you know
That's the way you make me love you, yeah

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L

See you lost your trust and you never should have
you never should have.
But don't break your back if you ever see this
But don't answer that.
In a bullet proof vest with the windows all closed
I'll be doing my best
I'll see you soon.
In a telescope lens when all you want is friends
I'll see you soon.

See, they came for you, they came snapping at your heels,
they come snapping at your heels.
But don't break your back if you ever say this.
But don't answer that.
In a bullet proof vest with the windows all closed
I'll be doing my best
I'll see you soon.
In a telescope lens when all you want is friends
I'll see you soon.

Oh no, you lost your trust
Oh no, you lost your trust
No, don't lose your trust
Oh no, you lost your trust

I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Forced to endure what I could not forgive...

I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive

Saw things (4x)
Clearer (2x)
Once you, were in my... rearviewmirror...

I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...

Saw things so much clearer
Once you, once you... (3x)
Rearviewmirror

Saw things so much clearer
Once you...oh yeah...

Cooling out cooling out
Waiting form my lady got the special sauce that`s why she`s my baby my baby
My baby
And of course I`ll do anything for her anything she wants
It`s sure honey sure
Got a sharp mouth a sharp tongue gimme gimme gimme some
Don`t take to that gimme gimme none
You got to work desere it earn it to own it
Once you got never ever going to leave it alone don`t take wise cracking or
Forgetting never been stood up
She does the stepping

My baby got sauce
Your baby ain`t sweet like mine
She got sauce
Your baby ain`t sweet like mine
She got sauce...

That`s some funky lemonade you got going there babe
Is it special for me
Did you make it today
I`ll always stop by if you like me to
I`ll do anything that you could ever want for me to do
A kis for some of this
A smile and it`s done
Miss I`m your mister
My sister`s your sister
My mother`s your mother father`s your father
It all started when I kissed her it was love at first sight
Better when it started
I ain`t broken hearted but baby
I need some time alone with the crew to do the stupid things that we used to do
Upon this she dropped me
With a frying pan
This is love I`m not gonna leave it

My baby`s got sauce
Your baby ain`t sweet like mine

My baby`s got sauc eand of course as a matter of course she does what she
Wants to cause she`s the boss
Please don`t tell my friends about the situation
They think I`m on some extended vacation
I don`t get out to see my boys anymore
Only time I leave the house is to go to the store for what she wants what she
Wants what she wants me for
What could she want this time
I`m all hers
She ain`t even hardly mine
Believe me what she do at night I don`t know
I could guess it ain`t right
She got me waiting comes in late and I`m trying not to raise my voice
Negotiating it
She`ll win the argument
Shouldn`t even started it I`m broken hearted I can`t be parted
I need a taste
So I count my loss MMMMM

My baby got sauce

It felt like spring time
On this February morning
In the courtyard
Birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said
To make me feel alright
I carried them with me today
Now

As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name
Into the sky
And I will wake up happy

I wonder why I feel so high
Though I am not above the sorrow
Heavy hearted
Till you call my name
And it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train
On a summer evening
I'll run to meet you
Barefoot barely breathing

As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name
Into the sky
And I will wake up happy

It's not too near for me
Like a flower I need the rain
Though it's not clear to me
Every season has its change
And I will see you
When the sun comes out again

As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name
Into the sky
And I will wake up happy

Dian:
I think it's time we got this straight
Let's sit and talk face to face
There is no way you could mistake
Him for your man - are you insane

Dian:
You see I know that you may be
Just a bit jealous of me
But you're blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me

Dian:
You see I tried to hesitate
I didn't wanna say what he told me
He said without me he couldn't make
It through the day ain't that a shame

Hester :
Maybe you misunderstood
Cause I can't see how he could
Wanna change something that was so good
Because my love is all it took

Dian:
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Dian:
Must you do the things you do
Keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
And if you didn't know it girl it's true

Hester:
I think that you should realize
And try to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside

Hester:
You can say what you wanna say
What we had you can't take
From the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake

Dian:
When will you get the picture
You're the past, I'm the future
Get away it's my time to shine
And if you didn't know the boy is mine

Dian:
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Hester:
You can't destroy this love I found
You're silly games I won't allow
The boy is mine without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel

Hester:
What makes you think that he wants you
When I'm the one that brought him to
This special place in my heart
Cause he was my love right from from the start

Dian:
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Dian:
The boy is mine
Not yours
But mine
Not yours
But mine
Not yours
But mine

Dian:
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Eat your heart out Hester. Je krijgt hem NOOIT meer terug.
Dahaaag

hat's your age
Says the man in the suit
Thinking he knows all
Believes he's cool
That's what he thinks
A girl my age
Doesn't understand the world
At least that's what he thinks
I think

Ohoh I
I need to break free
From all of these thoughts inside

I have to stop the worries in my head
Leave my doubts all unsaid
And be who I want to be
No need to be insecure no more
I just gotta walk through that door
And wonder of free to be me

She's so vain
Is what she whispers to her friend
When I pass her sitting at the bar
Must think she's all that

Cause she's a little famous
Probably thinks she's hot
She tells her friend
I think

Ohoh I
I need to break free
From all of these thoughts inside

I have to stop the worries in my head
Leave my doubts all unsaid
And be who I want to be
No need to be insecure no more
I just gotta walk through that door
And wonder of free to be me

Close my eyes
and hear those buzzing whispers surrounding
Judging me
Talking about me
I wanna be
totally free
Free of guessing what they said
Or what they might think about me

Aver paura
d'innamorarsi troppo
non disarmarsi
per non sciupare tutto
non dire niente
per non tradir la mente
è un leggero dolore
che però
io non so più sopportare.

Non farsi vivo
e non telefonare
parlar di tutto
per non parlar d'amore
cercar di farsi
un po' desiderare
è proprio un vero dolore.

Abbandonarsi senza più timori
senza fede nei falliti amori
e non studiarsi ubriacarsi di fiducia
per uscirne finalmente fuori.

Aver paura
di confessare tutto
per il pudore
d'innamorarsi troppo
finger che anch'io
le altre donne vedo
è un leggero dolor temere di mostrarsi interamente nudo.

E soffocare
la sana gelosia
e controllarsi
non dirti che sei mia
voler restare
e invece andare via
è proprio un vero dolore.

Abbandonarsi senza più timori
senza fede nei falliti amori
e non studiarsi ubriacarsi di fiducia
per uscirne finalmente fuori

Mooi, hè

Avond Boudewijn de Groot

Nu hoef je nooit je jas meer aan te trekken
En te hopen dat je licht het doet
Laat buiten de stormwind nu maar razen in het donker
Want binnen is het warm en licht en goed
Hand in hand naar buiten kijken waar de regen valt
Ik zie het vuur van hoop en twijfel in je ogen
En ik ken je diepste angst

Refrein:
Want je kunt niets zeker weten en alles gaat voorbij
Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij

En als je s morgens opstaat ben ik bij je
En misschien heb ik al thee gezet
En als de zon schijnt buiten gaan we lopen door de duinen
En als het regent gaan we terug in bed
Uren langzaam wakker worden, zwevend door de tijd
Ik zie het licht door de gordijnen en ik weet
Het verleden geeft geen zekerheid

Refrein

Ik doe de lichten uit en de kamer wordt nu donker
Een straatlantaarn buiten geeft wat licht
En de dingen in de kamer worden vrienden die gaan slapen
De stoelen staan te wachten op t ontbijt
En morgen word ik wakker met de geur van brood en honing
De glans van t gouden zonlicht in jouw haar

En de dingen in de kamer, ik zeg ze welterusten
Vanavond gaan we slapen en morgen zien we wel
Maar de dingen in de kamer zouden levenloze dingen zijn zonder jou

En je kunt niets zeker weten want alles gaat voorbij
Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
En je kunt niets zeker weten want alles gaat voorbij
Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij

You are like a hurricane
there's calm in your eyes
but I'm getttin'blown away
to somewhere saver where the feeling stays
I wanna love you
but I'm getting blown away

Dekt de lading wel aardig.

Keuzes zijn gemaakt
Je nam ze ook voor mij
Er is niets wat ons nu samen houdt
Al die jaren waren zo vertrouwd
Maar dit leven samen gaat aan ons voorbij

Het is moeilijk te begrijpen
En het is niet te verklaren
Dat je zo om iemand geeft
En toch je eigen weg moet gaan

Ik kan jou niet meer geven
Dan de vrijheid in je leven
Waarom moet een mens zo nodig
Op zijn eigen benen staan

Je maakt je vrij
Waar het leven je ook brengt
Denk aan mij
Spreid je vleugels lieve schat neem alle tijd
Ook al duurt het nog een eeuwigheid
Als je nu blijft krijg je zeker spijt
Ik heb liever dat je ergens anders
Denk aan mij
En weet dat ik van je hou
En dat ik voor altijd ergens denk aan jou

Nee je kunt het niet begrijpen
En het is moeilijk te verklaren
Dat je zo om iemand geeft
En toch je eigen weg moet gaan
Oh! Ik wil je niet verliezen
Maar ik mag niet voor je kiezen
En ik kan je niet vertellen
Welke weg je in moet slaan
Dus maak je vrij
En waar het leven je ook brengt schat
Denk aan mij
Weet dat ik van je hou
En dat ik altijd ergens denk aan jou

No more candlelight
No more purple skies
No one to be near
As my heart slowly dies

If I could hold you one more time
like in the days when you where mine
I'd look at you 'till I was blind
So you would stay

I'd say a prayer each time you'd smile
Cradle the moments like a child
I'd stop the world if only I
Could hold you one more time

I've memorized your face
I know your touch by heart
Still lost in your embrace
I'd dream of where you are

If I could hold you one more time
Like in the days when you were mine
I'd look at you 'till I was blind
So you would stay

I'd say a prayer each time you'd smile
Cradle the moments like a child
I'd stop the world if only I
Could hold you one more time

One more time

Kom gerust met alle honden, schilder bloemen op mijn kist
Deel je tranen en je wonden, niks word uitgewist
Doe alsof 'k er zelf nog bij was, zeg me wat 'k het liefste hoor
Denk aan hoe je steeds bij mij was, ga zo met me door
Draag me zelf, al kan het zwaar zijn, laat me dan ook niet alleen
Doe gewoon dan zal het waar zijn, ik blijf om je heen
Ga maar veel en lekker eten, maak geen heilige van mij
Je hoeft geen dingen te vergeten, blijf er altijd bij

Zing mijn liedjes denk aan dagen, dat de zon over ons scheen
Dan is alles te verdragen, ik blijf om je heen
Eigenlijk ben ik heel tevreden, als ik alles samenvat
Alles had een echte reden, 'k heb jullie toch gehad 'k heb jullie toch
gehad

Michelle Branch - Goodbye To You

Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star

quote:

[..]

Too much love will kill you
If you can't makeup your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time

[..]

Ciske de Rat ...

how much more will it take
how much more until it breaks me
this world is crushing me

I'm feeling the hate of the world
and it's crushing me
I'm feeling the hate of everyday life
and it's crushing me

I've spent every moment since the day you left
attempting to regain the shattered remains of my pathetic life
working to be someone you can be proud of
someone you can love again

I have given you everything that I have to give
everything i'm able to give
taking into consideration your reluctance to accept anything I have to offer

I'm tired of living my life for you
I'm tired of living for everyone else in this world
I'm tired of...?

I swallow the hate, betrayal and lies
swallow it whole, shove it deep down inside of me
feeling the weight of the world, and it's crushing me

how much more will it take?
how much more until it breaks me?
this world is crushing me

En de kikker ziet het niet zo zitten
in de modder gaat ie lekker pitten

Alle blaadjes gaan verkleuren
Net een schilderij
Zomer is voorbij
Maar daar gaan we niet om treuren
Want de herfst hoort erbij

En de hamster haalt met vlugge pootjes
Voor de winter knolletjes en nootjes

Alle blaadjes gaan verkleuren
Net een schilderij
Zomer is voorbij
Maar daar gaan we niet om treuren
Want de herfst hoort erbij

En de zwaluw zegt ik ga hem smeren
In het warme zuiden ga ik logeren

Alle blaadjes gaan verkleuren
Net een schilderij
Zomer is voorbij
Maar daar gaan we niet om treuren
Want de herfst hoort erbij

quote:

You're just a memory of a love
That used to be
You're just a memory of a love
That used to mean so much to me
