En voor Koekepan de eerste:
van Type O Negative, uit de song Haunted. Vooral het dikgedrukte deel vind ik erg mooi, en het straalt wel iets sinisters uit.

A swollen sun melting in the horizon
Between the sheets I wait for her to come
A living flame, impossible to resist
Burning me deep with every bite, kiss and lick
I'm haunted
I'm haunted
I'm haunted (by her)
Invades my sleep with tumescent intentions
Hades I'm sure must be missing a demon
I hate the morning
I hate the morning
From the panes a green mist swirls
Is it a shadow of reflection
This apparition in moon beams bathed
A voice like wind through trees beckons
Cool rain on hot summer stone
The odor fills my presence
Of freshly dug grave and death and night
These things are her essence
Nocturnal mistress, spirit lover
your mouth of wine and woodsmoke taste
My goddess of the violet twilight
You are lust incarnate
In the sweat of my bed
The eastern sky hints of dawning
Alone and awake but exhausted I lie
Oh how I hate the morning
I hate the morning (light)
I hate the morning (light)

Ook "so i need you" van 3 doors down heeft erg mooie tekst en tis nog een mooi liedje ook (imho):

3 doors down - So I Need You

If you could step into my head, tell
Me would you still know me
If you woke up in my bed, tell me
Then would you hold me
Or would you simply let it lie,
Leaving me to wonder why
I can’t get you out of this head
I call mine
And I will say

Oh no I can’t let you go,
My little girl
Because you’re holding up my
World, so I need you
Your imitation of my walk and the
Perfect way you talk
It’s just a couple of the million
Things that I love about you

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

And if I jumped off the Brooklyn
Bridge, tell me would you
Still follow me
And if I made you mad today, tell
Me would you love me
Tomorrow? Please
Or would you say that you don’t
Care, and then leave me
Standing here
Like the fool who is drowning in
Despair and screamin’

Oh no I can’t let you go,
My little girl
Because you’re holding up my
World, so I need you
Your imitation of my walk and the
Perfect way you talk
It’s just a couple of the million
Things that I love about you

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

I’m on my own
I’m on my own
I’m on my own

Oh no I can’t let you go, my
little girl
Because you’re holding up my
World, so I need you
Your imitation of my walk
and the perfect way you talk
It’s just a couple of the
Million things that I love
About you

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

The Tower
From Spanish Train and Other Stories
by Chris de Burgh
Year Released: 1975
Playing Time: 5:22

A great lord came walking through the forest
one morning with a weapon in his hand;
Rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing,
but killing was his plan;
When a white bird flew by she fell from the sky,
Nothing was found, only blood on the ground, she was gone;

Cursing his fortune,
he turned to the forest to kill once again,
And standing before him was a lovely young woman
with her hand hung in pain,
When he saw her his eyes were filled with desire,
He said "I must have her, she must be mine,
She will be mine..."

He offered her silver, he offered her gold,
but she threw it on the ground,
He fell to his knees and he begged her,
"Oh please come with me,
what you wish will be found;"
she said, "Sire, I'll go if you'll put up your bow,
and spare these creatures, leave them in peace,
You have no need..."

But her words were lost in the wind
His eyes were fixed on a queen
And all he saw was a woman
And all she was, was a dream...
Oh oh...And all he saw was a woman, and all she was,
Was a dream...

He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her to his castle he did ride;
in the wood was a bower where stood an an old tower
and he threw her deep inside;
then the birds left the sky and a terrible cry,
brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down,
Tears on the ground...

All through the days on her face he would gaze,
for she was lovely as the spring;
no words would she speaketh but "Leave them in peace",
and some sad lament she would sing,
Oh one day by the door, through the window he saw
A single white feather lying on the floor.
She was there no more...

Now that great lord is dying,
his cold heart is crying for the love of a girl;
for many an hour he has wept on the Tower
for she meant more than the world;
and once in the sky, a white bird flew by,
he lifted his hands, he cried out in pain
"Come back again..."

But his words were lost in the wind,
His castle was built upon sand,
All he saw was her memory,
And all he yearns is her hand...
Ah ah..All he has, is the memory,
And all he yearns is her hand.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Silly shit, stupid shit...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Learn to swim.

Fuck L Ron Hubbard and
Fuck all his clones.
Fuck all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

Fuck retro anything.
Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies and
Fuck your short memory.

Learn to swim.

Fuck smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

Up those stone steps I climb
Hail this joyful day's return
Into its great shadowed vault I go
Hail the Pentecostal morn

The reading is from Luke 24
Where Christ returns to his loved ones
I look at the stone apostles
Think that it's alright for some

And I wish that I was made of stone
So that I would not have to see
A beauty impossible to define
A beauty impossible to believe

A beauty impossible to endure
The blood imparted in little sips
The smell of you still on my hands
As I bring the cup up to my lips

No God up in the sky
No devil beneath the sea
Could do the job that you did, baby
Of bringing me to my knees

Outside I sit on the stone steps
With nothing much to do
Forlorn and exhausted, baby
By the absence of you

Dan hier "I Can't See Your Face In My Mind" van de Doors. Langzaam nummer:

I can't see your face in my mind
Carnival dogs
Consume the lines
Can't see your face in my mind

Don't you cry.
Baby, please don't cry-
And don't look at me
With your eyes

I can't seem to find the right lie
Insanity's horse
Adorns the sky
Can't seem to find the right lie.
Carnival dogs
Consume the lines
Can't see your face in my mind

Don't you cry.
Baby, please don't cry.
I won't need your picture
Until we say goodbye.

Avond..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 het ontbijt.
En morgen word ik wakker met de geur van brood en koffie,
de glans van het 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 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.

Winter

Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens,
wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
when I think of Winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off where the drifts get deeper
sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice: 'You must learn to stand up,
for yourself cause I can't always be around',

He says: when you gonna make up your mind ?
when you gonna love you as much as I do ?
When you gonna make up your mind ?
cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell that I always want you near

You say that things change, my dear...

Boys get discovered as Winter melts
flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I'm here still waiting
withering where some snowman was
mirror, mirror, where's my crystal palace ?
but I only can see myself,
skating around the truth, who I am,
but I know dad, the ice is getting thin

Hair is grey and the fires are burning
so many dreams on the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud of me
I always wanted that myself

He says: when you gonna make up your mind ?
when you gonna love you as much as I do ?
when you gonna make up your mind ?
cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I always want you near

You say that things change, my dear...

The Ground Beneath Her Feet

All my life, I worshipped her
Her golden voice, her beauty's beat
How she made us feel
How she made me real
And the ground beneath her feet
And the ground beneath her feet

And now I can't be sure of anything
Black is white, and cold is heat
For what I worshipped stole my love away
And the ground beneath her feet
And the ground beneath her feet

Go lightly down your darkened way
Go lightly underground
I'll be down there in another day
I won't rest until your found

Let me love you true, let me rescue you
Let me lead you to where two roads meet
O come back above
Where there's only love

And the ground beneath her feet
And the ground beneath her feet

The Ark - It takes a fool to remain sane

Whatever happened to the funky race?
A generation lost in pace,
-Wasn´t life supposed to be more than this?
In this kiss I´ll change your bore for my bliss
But let go of my hand and it will slip out in the sand if you don´t give me the chance
to break down the walls of attitude,
I ask nothing of you
not even your gratitude

And if you think I´m corny
then it will not make me sorry
it´s your right to laugh at me
and in turn, that´s my oppurtunity
to feel brave
Because ridicule is no shame
it´s just a way to eclipse hate
it´s just a way to put my back straight
it´s just a way to remain sane

Every morning I would see her getting off the bus the picture never drops
it´s like a multicoloured snapshot stuck in my brain
it kept me sane for a couple of years
as it drenched my fears
of becoming like the others
who become unhappy mothers
and fathers of unhappy kids
And why is that?
´Cause they´ve forgotten how to play
maybe they´re afraid to feel ashamed
to seem strange
to seem insane
to seem gay
to gain weight
- I tell you this:

That it takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
In this world all covered up in shame
(-Oh, take it to the stage!)

So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured jacket take it jackpot, crackpot,
strutting like a peacock
nailvarnish Arkansas
shimmy-shammy featherboah crackpot haircut
dye your hair in glowing red and blue,

-Do, Do, Do! What you wanna do, Don´t think twice, do what you have to do,
Do, Do, Do, let your heart decide what you have to do that´s all there is to find
Cause it takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh,It takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
In this world all covered up in shame
It takes a fool to remain sane,
It takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
In this world all covered up in shame.

There's a fog along the horizon,
A strange glow in the sky,
And nobody seems to know where you go,
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 shadow,
Reaching into the night,
Wandering over the hills unseen,
Or is it a dream?

There's a high wind in the trees,
A cold sound in the air,
And nobody ever knows when you go,
Or where do you start.
Oh, 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?

Suzanne Vega - Blood Sings

When blood sees blood
Of its own
It sings to see itself again
It sings to hear the voice it's known
It sings to recognize the face

One body split and passed along the line
From the shoulder to the hip
I know these bones as being mine
And the curving of the lip

And my question to you is:
How did this come to pass?
How did this one life fall so far and fast?

Some are lean and some with grace, and some without;
All tell the story that repeats
Of a child who had been left alone at birth
Left to fend and taught to fight

See his eyes and how they start with light
Getting colder as the pictures go
Did he carry his bad luck upon his back?
That bad luck we've all come to know

And my question to you is:
How did this come to pass?
How did this one life fall so far and fast?

When blood sees blood
Of its own
It sings to see itself again
It sings to hear the voice it's known
It sings to recognize the face

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons,
packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway,
a place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance,
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstore, lived in the ghetto,
I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
this ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey,
I ain't got time for that now

Transmit the message, to the receiver,
hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, a couple of visas,
you don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, the trucks are loading,
everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime,
I might not ever get home

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
this ain't no fooling around
This ain't no mudd club, or C. B. G. B.,
I ain't got time for that now

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peant butter,
to last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no
heaphones, ain't got no records to play

Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time
Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard,
I can't write nothing at all
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
this ain't no fooling around
I'd like to kiss you, I'd love you hold you
I ain't got no time for that now

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock,
we blended with the crowd
We got computer, we're tapping pohne lines,
I know that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives,
or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle, so many times now,
I don't know what I look like!
You make me shiver, I feel so tender,
we make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving,
you ought to get some sleep
Get you instructions, follow directions,
then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day,
whatever you think is best
Burned all my notebooks, what good are
notebooks? They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace,
the burning keeps me alive
Try to stay healthy, physical fitness,
don't want to catch no disease
Try to be careful, don't take no chances,
you better watch what you say

Patti Smith - Dancing Barefoot

she is benediction
she is addicted to thee
she is the root connection
she is connecting with he

here I go and I don't know why
I fell so ceaselessly
could it be he's taking over me...

I'm dancing barefoot
heading for a spin
some strange music draws me in
makes me come on like some heroin/e

she is sublimation
she is the essence of thee
she is concentrating on
he, who is chosen by she

here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly,
could it be he's taking over me...

[chorus]

she is re-creation
she, intoxicated by thee
she has the slow sensation that
he is levitating with she ...

here I go and I don't know why,
I spin so ceaselessly,
'til I lose my sense of gravity...

[chorus]

(oh god I fell for you ...)

the plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face
the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
grave visitations
what is it that calls to us?
why must we pray screaming?
why must not death be redefined?
we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms
and whirl on a pane of glass
an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree
the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women.

(oh god I fell for you ...)

Wat heb je in de hand,
waarom ben je hier geboren?
Door welke speling van het lot
worden mensen uitverkoren?

Wie was de eerste drager
van een ziekte die velen besmet?
En als je dan eenmaal besmet bent,
wie bepaalt of je het wel of niet redt?
De verspreider van het leed
door wie er zoveel zijn verloren,
zoekt een virus iemand uit,
door wie is hij dan uitverkoren?

Wat heb je in de hand,
waarom ben je hier geboren?
Door welke speling van het lot
worden mensen uitverkoren?

In de vleugel van een vliegtuig
zit een scheur in een moer
maar dat kun je niet zien.
Een man boekt een reis op het laatste moment
voor zijn vrouw en zijn zoontje van tien.
Je geeft een bedrag voor een kind
maar dan blijft het van de gekke
dat naast die uitverkorene
de rest van het gezin kan verrekken.

Wat heb je in de hand,
waarom ben je hier geboren?
Door welke speling van het lot
worden mensen uitverkoren?

De kans van een op duizenden,
een prijs die je verrast.
Degene die iets ziet wat nog nooit iemand zag
of een vrouw die precies bij je past.

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
(When your day is night alone)
Hold on, hold on
(If you feel like letting go)
Hold on
If you think you've had too much of this life
Well hang on

Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
When you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone

If you're on your own
In this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on

Well, everybody hurts
Sometimes, everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes

And everybody hurts
Sometimes

So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Everybody hurts
You are not alone)

Ik opende mijn ogen
het was toen de maand shwat (plm. maart, aa)
Ik zag boven mij een klein vogeltje
Het blauwe van de hemel en één wolkje
en ik zag de berg die altijd groen is

Tijdens kinderspelletjes, het gemak om dronken van te worden,
heb ik achter vlinders gejaagd en ben de berg afgegleden
En toen ik een plek zocht om mezelf te verbergen
vluchtte ik naar de berg die altijd groen is

De berg die al het hele jaar groen is
ik droom nog en vraag
jouw lucht in te ademen zoals tijdens de eerste keer
en te liggen in jouw schaduw, Carmel

Op de kinderlijke jaren, op de jaren van de liefde
We klommen op zijn paadjes, mijn hand in haar hand
Wij keken naar de verte, naar de toekomst
En we droomden over de berg die altijd groen is

We gingen in dienst, groot en verlegen,
van de oorlogen kwamen we terug als broeders
We brachten op onze handen vrienden
en we namen afscheid voor de berg die altijd groen is

De berg die al het hele jaar groen is
ik droom nog en vraag
jou lucht in te ademen zoals tijdens de eerste keer
en te liggen in jouw schaduw, Carmel

En onze kinderen zijn zelf al eiken
Het haar van onze ouders is al wit van de dagen
maar jong zullen we zijn als we omhoogkijken naar onze broeder,
de berg die altijd groen is

De berg die al het hele jaar groen is
ik droom nog en vraag
jouw lucht in te ademen zoals tijdens de eerste keer
en te liggen in jouw schaduw, Carmel

De berg die al het hele jaar groen is
ik droom nog en vraag
jou lucht in te ademen zoals tijdens de eerste keer
en te liggen in jouw schaduw, Carmel

Mooi is het zonlicht

Als je in stemming bent, moet je genieten
't leven is kort en 't is gauw weer voorbij
Kun je nog vrolijk zijn, wees dan tevreden
Grijp het geluk als je kunt, voel je vrij
Lap aan je laars wat ze ook van je denken
Kletsen ze van je, blijf in je humeur
Zoek al het moois wat er is in het leven
Zet van je af dat kleizielig gezeur

Mooi is het zonlicht dat schijnt voor ons allen
Mooi zijn de sterren in flonk'rende pracht
Laat toch je leven door niemand vergallen
Lach en vergeet, zorgen en leed.

Zit niet te piek'ren voor wat nog moet komen
Zie toch geen bergen die er nog niet zijn
Wees niet jaloers en naijv'rig op anderen
Want dat bezorgt je het meeste chagrijn
Als. je gezond bent, dank dan maar de hemel
Want je gezondheid die is alles waard
Niets op de wereld aan rijdom of weelde
Kun je vergelijken met die schat op aard

Mooi is het zonlicht dat schijnt voor ons allen
Mooi zijn de sterren in flonk'rende pracht
Laat toch je leven door niemand vergallen
Lach en vergeet, zorgen en leed.

Als het je meeloopt, wees niet over moedig
Denk niet dat j'alles kan, want dat is fout
Zelfs van de hoogste top val j'in de afgrond
Als je te veel op jezelven vertrouwt '
t Leven is rijk aan gedachten en daden
Vol energie en voortdurende strijd
Als je moet vechten voor 't daag'lijks bestaantje
Doe 't dan met eerlijke wapens, altijd!

Mooi is het zonlicht dat schijnt voor ons allen
Mooi zijn de sterren in flonk'rende pracht
Laat toch je leven door niemand vergallen
Lach en vergeet, zorgen en leed.

She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
Can't walk but she's trying

Oh think twice...

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cos she didn't fit in there

Oh think twice...

En natuurlijk Boudewijn de Groot. Ik ga niet kiezen.

Bruggetje naar Literatuur. In "Het 14e kippetje" (naar een script van _Arnon Grunberg_) wordt "Wegen" van Boudewijn gezongen. Heb ik speciale herinneringen aan. Mijn vader bracht me van m'n ouderlijk huis naar mijn vriendje en de CD van Boudewijn was het enige compromis mogelijk. Anders werd het Simon & Garfunkel. Niets mis met die jongens hoor. Ze werken alleen op m'n zenuwen.

Hierbij moet echter gezegd worden dat Bright Eyes een prachtig nummer is. Watership Down... mooie film.

Falling, I'm falling

Have you ever walked through a room
But it was more like the room passed around you
Like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through

Have you ever been at someplace
Recognizing everybody's face
Until you realized that there was no one there you knew
Well I know

Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, I'm so outshined and out of time
Have you ever

Falling, I'm falling

Have you ever buried your face in your hands
Cause no one around you understands
Or has the slightest idea what it is that makes you be

Have you ever felt like there was more
Like someone else was keeping score
And what could make you whole was simply out of reach
Well I know

Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever

Falling, I'm falling

Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, my darkest friend is me again
Have you ever
Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever

When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay

So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place

When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay

So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to make the world be a better place

When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay

So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
I'd like to leave the world as a better place
I'd like to think the world

Dec. 20, 1968

Summer was gone and the heat died down
And Autumn reached for her golden crown
I looked behind as I heard a sigh
But this was the time of no reply.

The sun went down and the crowd went home
I was left by the roadside all alone
I turned to speak as they went by
But this was the time of no reply.

The time of no reply is calling me to stay
There is no hello and no goodbye
To leave there is no way.

The trees on the hill had nothing to say
They would keep their dreams till another day
So they stood and thought and wondered why
For this was the time of no reply.

Time goes by from year to year
And no one asks why I am standing here
But I have my answer as I look to the sky
This is the time of no reply.

The time of no reply is calling me to stay
There`s no hello and no goodbye
To leave there is no way.

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu'après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D'or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine
Où l'amour sera roi
Où l'amour sera loi
Où tu seras reine

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Je t'inventerai
Des mots insensés
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leurs coeurs s'embraser
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
De l'ancien volcan
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est paraît-il
Des terres brulées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu'un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s'épousent-ils pas

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherai là
A te regarder
Danser et sourire
Et à t'écouter
Chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

(1972)

(Ja, ik houd van melancholie)

Op een avond om een uur of half elf
Liep ik wat te wandelen met mezelf
En de mensen van een nette nieuwe wijk
Zag ik zitten huis en huis
Aan huis aan huis te kijk
Uitgeteld en uitgezakt en uitgepraat
En ik dacht: als nu de wereld eens vergaat
Is er niemand die het in de gaten heeft
Want ze zitten aan de beeldbuis vastgekleefd

De televisie staat nog aan
Maar de wereld is vergaan
Nu is het hier een poppenkraam
Met dooien achter het raam

Op een avond komt ons hele volkje om
Niet door kwik of door vergif of door de bom
Maar door een slaapdrank die een vreemde mogendheid
Over de beeldbuis en het avondblad verspreidt
Er is een dronk vol pessismisme in de maak
Opportunisme daaraan toegevoegd naar smaak
En wat cynisme, ja een korreltje of drie
En wat racisme na een borreltje of drie

En als de wereld is vergaan
Dan blijft de televisie aan
Dan is het hier een poppenkraam
Met dooien achter het raam

Iedere woning is opeens een glazen kist
Waar men het leven
En de liefde niet meer mist
Waar men geen plaat beluistert
En geen boek meer leest
Waar slechts gemompeld wordt:
Ik ben al geweest
Daar is geen mens meer die
Nog ooit de straat opging
Daar is geen vreugde meer
En geen bewondering
Daar is geen hartstocht meer
En zelfs niet eens meer angst
Daar hangt het spreekwoord:
Dood zijn duurt het langst

En als de wereld is vergaan
Dan blijft de televisie aan
Dan is het hier een poppenkraam
Met dooien achter het raam.

Zeer toepasselijk op deze tijd waarin we leven.

Don't put this note by your face on the pillow
Don't put this letter in the pocket near your heart
Keep it in the bottom drawer where you hide the sex tools
I pray you always need them

Chorus
I know what you have done

Throwing advice like grenades at the table
You're spinning your wisdom in stories that change
Your lies are fluorescent my babyfaced angel
Grow a fucking heart love

Chorus
I know what you have done

I've got your number

You've got my number

Elbow - I've got your number

CLOCKS
Lights go out and I can't be saved,
Tides that I tried to swim against,
You've put me down upon my knees,
Oh I beg, I beg and plead (singing),
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple of my head (and a),
Trouble that can't be named, tigers waiting to be tamed (singing),
You are, you are

Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna),
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know (singing),
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I),
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)

You are (x6),
And nothing else compares,
Oh no nothing else compares,
And nothing else compares

You are (continues in background),
Home, home, where I wanted to go (x4)

The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
He said, "I am not fighting for you any more"
The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him inside.

He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
Only first I am asking you why."

Down in the long narrow hall he was led
Into her rooms with her tapestries red
And she never once took the crown from her head
She asked him there to sit down.

He said, "I see you now, and you are so very young
But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun
And now will you tell me why?"

The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"
But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
But she closed herself up like a fan.

And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"
He laid his hand then on top of her head
And he bowed her down to the ground.

"Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel
As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed
But I won't march again on your battlefield"
And he took her to the window to see.

And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray
And she wanted more than she ever could say
But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away
And would not look at his face again.

And he said, "I want to live as an honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman who I don't understand
Your highness, your ways are very strange."

But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached
She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
She would only be a moment inside.

Out in the distance her order was heard
And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred
The battle continued on

Are You The One That I've Been Waiting For?

I've felt you coming girl, as you drew near
I knew you'd find me, cause I longed you here
Are you my desitiny? Is this how you'll appear?
Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes?
Well take that coat babe, and throw it on the floor
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

As you've been moving surely toward me
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time my heart it will reward me
And that all will be revealed
So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
They're only little tears, darling, let them spill
And lay your head upon my shoulder
Outside my window the world has gone to war
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

O we will know, won't we?
The stars will explode in the sky
O but they don't, do they?
Stars have their moment and then they die

There's a man who spoke wonders though I've never met him
He said, "He who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in"
I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting
And how every little thing anticipates you
All down my veins my heart-strings call
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't want to scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

Tallulah (Tony Kakko)
Remember when we used to look how sun sets far away?
And how you said: "this is never over"
I believed your every word and I guess you did too
But now youre saying : "hey, lets think this over"
You take My hand and pull me next to you, so close to you
I have a feeling you dont have the words
I found one for you, kiss your cheek, say bye, and walk away
Dont look back cause I am crying
I remember little things, you hardly ever do
Tell me why.
I dont know why its over
I remember shooting stars, the walk we took that night
I hope your wish came true, mine betrayed me
You let my hand go, and you fake a smile for me
I have a feeling you dont know what to do
I look deep in your eyes, hesitate a while...
Why are you crying?
Tallulah, Its easier to live alone than fear the time its over
Tallulah, find the words and talk to me ,oh, Tallulah,
This could be... heaven
I see you walking hand in hand with long-haired drummer of the band
In love with her or so it seems, hes dancing with my beauty queen
Dont even dare to say you hi, still swallowing the goodbye
But I know the feelings still alive- still alive
Solo
I lost my patience once, so do you punish me now
Ill always love you, no matter what you do
Ill win you back for me if you give me a chance
But there is one thing you must understand
Chorus

The Power of One (Tony Kakko)
Father I have killed many angels,
I think.
I will now walk in the sea.
I hope you will someday forgive me
Please moor
my empty boat on a pier
I can blame for the blue blood that runs in my veins.
But I seem to forget that we are all the same.
In your own blaze of hate you've spawn a fear in many lifes
You've taken action thinking it was all said on the sings.
You cannot heal the feeling burning deep inside your spine
You now collapse, cave in revealing scabby marks of life
Mother I've seen too much, I hate to live my life.
Forgot every word you told me, stubborn little child, (angel of your life)
I have to find my Eden now, the gates I left behind.
But the pain will remain.
No power to gain.
Now I have time to dwell on, self awareness, dreadful crime.
I saw the colors too bright, not knowing that I was blind.
I slayed a man who took a chance and drank the forbidden wine.
The map I draw reveals that I have been complete, machine, in team.
Father I've seen too much, I hate to live my life. Forgot every word you told me, stubborn little child, (angel of your life)
I have to find my Eden now, the gates I left behind.
The pain will remain.
No power to gain.
Mother where's your son.
When has this begun?
Who has been the fool?
No one was born to be a servant or a slave.
Who you tell me the color of the rain?
In the world that we live on, the lies said and done
They can well overrun
the power of one.
No one was born to be a slave etc.
To live and let die
To give hope and take life
Is that what you're here for?
To think you are right
To make sure it won't fly
Is a making of a hate crime
In the homes of the brave,
In the homes of the land slaves,
We are all the same
I need to believe.
There's more than the eye can see
All colors of rainbow.
No one was born to be a slave
Seek the past and place the blame
Tell me the color of the rain
No one was born to be a master
In the land we live, we die
praise the oneness, praise the lie
To bind a web around the faker
We will need a true
Rainmaker
"Children of Abel, Children of Cain
Can live in harmony, without shame
The keys that I grant thee, The Sacret Land
Are dry desert sand on the palm of your hand
Without the water, the wisdom of past
Will run through your fingers, forgotten so fast
Thus now when I leave you, I´m truly blind
This blindness, this blessing, the hope of mankind..."

Dress Rehearsal Rag

Four o'clock in the afternoon
and I didn't feel like very much.
I said to myself, "Where are you golden boy,
where is your famous golden touch?"
I thought you knew where
all of the elephants lie down,
I thought you were the crown prince
of all the wheels in Ivory Town.
Just take a look at your body now,
there's nothing much to save
and a bitter voice in the mirror cries,
"Hey, Prince, you need a shave."
Now if you can manage to get
your trembling fingers to behave,
why don't you try unwrapping
a stainless steel razor blade?
That's right, it's come to this,
yes it's come to this,
and wasn't it a long way down,
wasn't it a strange way down?
There's no hot water
and the cold is running thin.
Well, what do you expect from
the kind of places you've been living in?
Don't drink from that cup,
it's all caked and cracked along the rim.
That's not the electric light, my friend,
that is your vision growing dim.
Cover up your face with soap, there,
now you're Santa Claus.
And you've got a gift for anyone
who will give you his applause.
I thought you were a racing man,
ah, but you couldn't take the pace.
That's a funeral in the mirror
and it's stopping at your face.
That's right, it's come to this,
yes it's come to this,
and wasn't it a long way down,
ah wasn't it a strange way down?

Once there was a path
and a girl with chestnut hair,
and you passed the summers
picking all of the berries that grew there;
there were times she was a woman,
oh, there were times she was just a child,
and you held her in the shadows
where the raspberries grow wild.
And you climbed the twilight mountains
and you sang about the view,
and everywhere that you wandered
love seemed to go along with you.
That's a hard one to remember,
yes it makes you clench your fist.
And then the veins stand out like highways,
all along your wrist.
And yes it's come to this,
it's come to this,
and wasn't it a long way down,
wasn't it a strange way down?

You can still find a job,
go out and talk to a friend.
On the back of every magazine
there are those coupons you can send.
Why don't you join the Rosicrucians,
they can give you back your hope,
you can find your love with diagrams
on a plain brown envelope.
But you've used up all your coupons
except the one that seems
to be written on your wrist
along with several thousand dreams.
Now Santa Claus comes forward,
that's a razor in his mit;
and he puts on his dark glasses
and he shows you where to hit;
and then the cameras pan,
the stand in stunt man,
dress rehearsal rag,
it's just the dress rehearsal rag,
you know this dress rehearsal rag,
it's just a dress rehearsal rag.

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth, bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends, the week begins

She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
And these crimes between us grow deeper

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well, his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming...

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Driving in on this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged,
No time to exchange when...
All the little ants are marching
Red and black antennae waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way,
Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by weight loss programs
cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end, cut cut
On the fence, try not to offend
Cut cut, cut cut

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Lights down, you up and die.

One more night, one more night
I've been trying ooh so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see

Please give me one more night, give me one more night
One more night cos I can't wait forever
Give me just one more night, oh just one more night
Oh one more night cos I can't wait forever

I've been sitting here so long
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe you're not alone

Please give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, ooh just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you

Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words
But if you change your mind you know that I'll be here
And maybe we both can learn

Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

Thirty-Three

Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you

Alicia keys-a woman's worth

You could buy me diamonds, you could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candles, run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last and last
Baby you know I'm worth it
Wanna please wanna keep wanna treat your woman right
Not just told but to show that you know she is worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

If you treat me fairly I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know you're worth it
If you never play me, promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
Baby I know you're worth it
She rolls the mile makes you smile all the while being true
Don't take for granted the passion that she has for you
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth, oh

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

No need to read between the lines, spell it out for you
Just hear this song cuz you can't go wrong when you value
A woman, woman, woman, a woman's worth

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

Carlos Varela - Una Palabra

Una palabra no dice nada
y al mismo tiempo lo esconde todo
igual que el viento que esconde el agua
como las flores que esconde el lodo.

Una mirada no dice nada
y al mismo tiempo lo dice todo
como la lluvia sobre tu cara
o el viejo mapa de algún tesoro.

Una verdad no dice nada
y al mismo tiempo lo esconde todo
como una hoguera que no se apaga
como una piedra que nace polvo.

Si un día me faltas no seré nada
y al mismo tiempo lo seré todo
porque en tus ojos están mis alas
y está la orilla donde me ahogo,
porque en tus ojos están mis alas
y está la orilla donde me ahogo.

The River
I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride

She placed her ring on the sill
Dishes piled high
She's on the front porch step
And the air smells like snow
She's thinking of the siege to come
And how she'll miss those weekends in the park
With the sun on her face, and her book by her side
And that lingering taste that he left on her tounge

He lifts his glass from the table
It leaves a ring where it stood
He sees a light from a window
Caress her like he knows he should
He's remembering the first time he kissed her
And how he'd wake and immediately he'd miss her
Like a spell, with each breath
He'd taste her breath like a haunting
Irritating as hell

Do you remember when you prayed you'd never see the day
Someone would make you feel this way
'Cause you knew it would cut right through you
Once inside, you were afraid they'd find
Nothing to hold on to

He puts her ring on her finger
She brushes back his hair
He takes a sip from his glass
She inhales the cold fall air
They're thinking of the long road ahead
And the strength that they'll need just to reach the end
And there in the silence, they search for the balance
Between this fear that they feel
And a love that has graced their lives

Could I have been
A parking lot attendant
Could I have been
A millionaire in Bel Air
Could I have been
Lost Somewhere in Paris
Could I have been
You're little brother
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone

He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money?
Could have been anyone other than me?
Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me?

Then I look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy

I am who I am who I am well who am I
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me
And then I'll

Sing and dance
I'll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out
And then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy

Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been a dancing Nancy a dancing Nancy
Could I have been anyone other than me?

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them

Hand me a world on a silver platter
And what good would it be?
No one to share, no one who truly cares for me

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

If I ain't got you with me baby
Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

Sterren

Als er engelen bestaan, zullen zij dan voor je zorgen
Als het tijd is om te gaan, als het leiden is gedaan.
Als er engelen bestaan, zullen zij dan elke morgen, rustig bij je bedje staan
Als het tijd is om te gaan.

En als jij dan op ons neerziet, en terug gaat in die tijd
Hoop ik dat je hart met vrede wordt gevuld.
Dat je kunt omzien in blijdschap en vol tevredenheid,
Om je allergrootste wensen zijn vervuld.

Kijk naar de sterren de sterren vannacht,
Naar de lichtjes die niet zullen doven.
En fluister dan zacht de wens die je hebt bedacht.
Hij komt uit, durf ik je te beloven.

Als er engelen bestaan,dan zullen zij vemomd als mensen,
Zonder gezicht en zonder naam, altijd heel dicht bij je staan.
Als er engelen bestaan, die ons helpen met jouw wensen,
Die jou op ons verzoek bijstaan, tot wat jij wilt ,wordt gedaan.

Dan kunnen wij jou alles geven, in de korte tijd die rest,
In de korte tijd, die jouw leven is.
En dan doen wij in dat even, met die engelen ons best
Dat zijn de hulp en kracht die ons gegeven is.

Kijk naar de sterren de sterren vannacht,
Naar de lichtjes die niet zullen doven.
En fluister dan zacht de wens die je hebt bedacht,
Hij komt uit, durf ik je te beloven.

Kijk naar de sterren de sterren vannacht,
Naar de lichtjes die niet zullen doven.
En fluister dan zacht de wens die je hebt bedacht,
Hij komt uit, durf ik je te beloven.

[Jagged Edge]
Your my
Your my
Your my baby baby baby baby baby baby
Your my baby baby baby baby baby baby, yea, yea

[Bow Wow Verse 1:]
It was the summer 2001
Only fore the drama begun
When we first met I seen you sittin out on these steps
you was broke down cryin a mess
So I interfered I asked 'Whats the reasonfor tears?'
I wishin you could tell me you could tell me fears
But I'll start with your name
You told me how your man playin games
So I said it was time for change and you just laughed
But it looked like you aint laughed in a while
I was GLAD I could give you a smile
Then we both blushed but really it aint no rush
I was thinkin' maybe we could discuss a future for us
Cuz home-boy just got you crushed
You need to leave that clown in the dust trust
I just wanna talk Im thinkin' I could give you a call and we could pick it up where we left off
I'll holla tomorrow

[Chorus]
[Jagged Edge:]
Girl I understand your loyal to your man and thats all right, Ah baby
But that dont change the fact that ya fightin' and ya stayin cryin every night, Na baby
Girl you got to let him know you cant live like this no more, Na baby
Cant you see together you and me could be so special, Baby

[Bow Wow Verse 2:]
Our feelings get greater a million days later
Talkin all night please stay
BUT here comes your ex
Return with the drama and stress
All the nonsense you just left but yet you accept
And go back to try it again then return with a broken heart that I got to mend
Thats unfair I only been your lover and friend
Only there he just frontin' and pretend
But you dont care The life he lead is unsafe
I would never place my hands to your face
But still I chase cat and mouse
First you kick him out then you at his house
What is that about?
I cant figure you out
Even your friends said I was better
But you listen to them never 'Uh-uh whatever'
So the next time he hurts you again
You already know where you shoulda been
And thats with me

[Chorus]

All the times you 2-way me tellin me that you miss me
Wanted me to come over and keep you busy
Remember that now that you gone its been kinda hard
Cant think Cant sleep Cant do nothin at all
Just tell me why you had to go back
See you aint have to go through that, my baby
You could have been right here by my side
Me and you at the park takin walks outside
But instead I keep on havin these dreams
Waitin for my phone to ring, my baby
Wishin that it'll be you but I know now that that wont come true, my baby

saying goodbye - the muppets
Saying goodbye, Going away
Seems like goodbye's such a hard thing to say
Touching a hand, wondering why
it's time for saying goodbye

Saying goodbye, why is it sad?
Makes us remember the good times we've had
Much more to say, foolish to try
It's time for saying goodbye

Don't want to leave, but we both know
sometimes it's better to go
Somehow I know we'll meet again
not sure quite where, don't know just when
You're in my heart so untill then
wanna smile, wanna cry
it's time for saying Goodbye

Have you ever heard the sound.
With your head in the ground.
And you are affraid to say
animal go away.

That's the sound of your brain crackin'

That's the sound of your brain crackin'

That's the sound of your brain crackin'

I let the beast in too soon, I dont know how to live
Without my hand on his throat; I fight him always & still
O darling, it's so sweet, you think you know how crazy
-How crazy I am
You say you dont spook easy, you wont go, but I know
And I pray that you will
-Fast as you can, baby run-free yourself of me
Fast as you can
I may be soft in your palm but Ill soon grow
Hungry for a fight, and I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will
Disprove your faith in man
So if you catch me trying to find my way into your
Heart from under your skin
-Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can
Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can
Sometimes my mind dont shake and shift
But most of the time, it does
And I get to the place where Im begging for a lift
Or Ill drown in the wonders and the was
And Ill be your girl, if you say its a gift
And you give me some more of your drugs
Yeah, Ill be your pet, if you just tell me its a gift
Cuz Im tired of whys, choking on whys,
Just need a little because, because
I let the beast in and then;
I even tried forgiving him, but its too soon
So Ill fight again, again, again, again, again.
And for a little while more, I'll soar the
Uneven wind, complain and blame
The sterile land
But if youre getting any bright ideas, quiet dear
Im blooming within
Fast as you can, baby wait watch me, Ill be out
Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can leave me, let this thing
Run its route
Fast as you can

When you love someone - you'll do anything
you'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain
you'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
when you love someone

you'll deny the truth - believe a lie
there'll be times that you'll believe you can really fly
but your lonely nights - have just begun
when you love someone

when you love someone - you'll feel it deep inside
and nothin else can ever change your mind
when you want someone - when you need someone
when you love someone...

when you love someone - you'll sacrifice
you'd give it everything you got and you won't think twice
you'd risk it all - no matter what may come
when you love someone
you'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
when you love someone

Dime porque lloras
de felicidad
y porque te ahogas
por la soledad
di porque me tomas fuerte asi, mis manos
y tus pensamientos
te van llevando

(Zeg me waarom je huilt
van geluk
en waarom verdrink je
door de eenzaamheid
zeg waarom je m'n handen zo stevig vastpakt
en je gedachten nemen je mee)

Yo te quiero tanto
y porque sera
loco testarudo
no lo dudes mas
aunque en el futuro
haya un muro enorme
yo no tengo miedo
quiero enamorarme

(Ik hou zoveel van jou
en waarom zou dat zijn
gekke koppigheid
twijfel er niet langer aan
hoewel er in de toekomst
een enorme muur is
ik heb geen angst
ik wil verliefd worden)

No me ames
porque pienses
que parezco diferente
tu no piensas que es lo justo
ver pasar el tiempo juntos

(Bemin me niet
want je denkt
dat ik anders lijk
jij denkt niet dat het het juiste is
de tijd samen doorbrengen)

No me ames
que comprendo
la mentira que seria
si tu amor no merezco
no me ames
mas quedate otro dia

(Bemin me niet
ik begrijp
het bedrog dat het zou zijn
als ik jouw liefde niet waard ben
bemin me niet
bovendien blijf een andere dag)

No me ames
porque estoy perdido
porque cambie el mundo
porque es el destino
porque no se puede
somos un espejo
y tu asi serias
lo que yo de mi reflejo

(Bemin me niet
want ik ben de weg kwijt
want ik veranderde de wereld
want het is de toekomst
want het kan niet
we zijn een spiegel
en jij zal zo zijn
zoals ik in mijn reflektie)

No me ames
para estar muriendo
dentro de una guerra
llena de arrepentimientos
No me ames
para estar en tierra
quiero alzar el vuelo
con tu gran amor
por el azul del cielo

(Bemin me niet
om stervende te zijn
in een oorlog
vol met spijt
Bemin me niet
om stevig op de grond te staan
ik wil opstijgen
voor het blauw van de hemel)

No se que decirte
esa es la verdad
si la gente quiere
sabe lastimar

(Ik weet niet wat ik je zeggen moet
dat is de waarheid
als de mensen willen
kunnen ze pijn doen)

Tu y yo partiremos
ellos no se mueven
pero en este cielo
sola no me dejes

(Jij en ik vertrekken
zij bewegen zich niet
maar in deze hemel
laat je me niet alleen)

No me dejes, no me dejes
no me eschuches
si te digo "no me ames"
no me dejes, no desarmes
mi corazon con ese "no me ames"

(Verlaat me niet, verlaat me niet
hoor je me niet
als ik je zeg "bemin me niet"
verlaat me niet, ontwapen niet
mijn hart met dat "bemin me niet" )

No me ames, te lo ruego
mi amargura dejame
sabes bien, que no puedo
que es inutil
que siempre te amare

(Bemin me niet, ik smeek je
mijn bitterheid laat me
je weet goed, dat ik niet kan
het is zinloos
dat ik je altijd bemin )

No me ames
pues te hare sufrir
con este corazon que
se lleno de mil inviernos
no me ames
para asi olvidarte
de tus dias grises
quiero que me ames
solo por amarme

(Bemin me niet
want ik zal je laten lijden
met dit hart dat
volgelopen is met duizend winters
bemin me niet
om zo te vergeten
jouw grijze dagen
ik wil dat je me bemint
alleen om me te beminnen )

No me ames
tu y yo volaremos
uno con el otro
y seguiremos siempre juntos
este amor es como el sol que sale
tras de la tormenta
como dos cometas
en la misma estela

(Bemin me niet
jij en ik zullen vliegen
de één met de ander
en we zullen altijd samen verder gaan
deze liefde is als de zon die opkomt
achter de storm
als twee kometen
in hetzelfde spoor)

No me ames
No me ames
No me ames
No, no me ames
No me ames
No me ames
No me ames

(Bemin me niet
bemin me niet
bemin me niet
Nee, bemin me niet
bemin me niet
bemin me niet
bemin me niet )

Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb in a dark room
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come home and turn me on

Like the desert waiting for the rain
Like a school kid waiting for the spring
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on

My poor heart, it's been so dark since you been gone
After all, you're the one who turns me off
You're the only one who can turn me back on

My hi-fi's waiting for a new tune
The glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
