Hoe voel jij je? (Uitgedrukt in (song)teksten). Deel 20

Sister Hazel ~ Life got in the way

We knew it all from a little thing
It was everything in our first minute
And it took us to another place
Yeah another place and we fell in it
How dare you not remember
How dare you walk away
We adored every little thing
Every little thing would leave us breathless
Every dawn spelled another day
And in another day we weren't so restless
How dare you not remember
How dare you walk away

[Chorus]
And I wanted you so much
Just like I do right now
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
I wanted it to last
I wanted to grow old
But life got in the way

We walked around in a heavy haze
We were stuck in days of so much warring
We got lost in a tricky maze
Yeah a tricky maze that was so scarring
How come you can't remember
How dare you walk away
Then you start to add the little things
Add the little things and trip the mighty
Now we got a little bitter thing
A little bitter thing that grew like ivy
And how dare you not remember
How dare you walk away

[Chorus]

And apathy grows quietly where rapture used to fly
And promises and certainty have left love here to die
Won't you stay and don't let this one fall away

[Chorus]
[Chorus]

Yeah well life got in the way

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words

goed

Hij doet zo zijn best, maar.........

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

You're gone from here
Soon you will disappear
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
Oh everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

Do you think it's strange
that there's this way of how you look at,
how you act like, and how you think and pretend
they're not the same as you
Do you know about his strength of convictions
or how she puts all her faith in religion
Did you ever take the time
to really discover how little we know about each other?
this all becomes one more chance to
keep us from saying anything
and separate from everything.
And all this really means
you're one in a crowd and paranoid of every sound
another friend you won't miss anyhow

Less Than Jake - All my friends are metalheads

Veel goede herinneringen, heerlijk mee krijsen zingen en vooral ook nog waar!

Now baby come on
Don`t blame that love you`re never let me feel
I should have known cause you brought nothing real
Come on be a man about it
You won`t die
I ain`t got no more tears to cry
And I can`t take this no more
You know I gotta let it go
And you know

I`m outta love
Set me free and let me out this misery
Just show me the way to live my life again
You can`t handle me
Say i'm out my love can`t you see
Baby that you got set me free
I`m outta love

Say how many times have I tried to turn this love around
But every time you just let me down
Come on be a man about it
You`ll survive
True that you can`t work it out alright
Tell me yesterday
Did you know
I`d be the one to let you go
And you know

I`m outta love
Set me free and let me out this misery
Just show me the way to live my life again
You can`t handle me
Say i'm outta love
Can`t you see
Baby that you got set me free
I`m outta love

Let me get over you the way you gotten over me too
Seems like my time has come
Now I`m moving on
I`ll be stronger

I`m outta love
Set me free and let me out this misery
Just show me the way to live my life again
You can`t handle me
Say I'm outta love
Set me free and let me out of this misery
Just show me the way to live my life again
You can`t handle me
Say I'm outta love
Can`t you see
Baby that you got set me free
I`m outta love

_{Volgens mij klopt ie niet helemaal... nou ja... de boodschap is duidelijk}

i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone

Chorus:
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

[Chorus]

i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
but though you're still with me
i've been alone all along

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along

The Offspring - Head around you

Deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't wanna see
Every single day what you say makes no sense to me
Even though I try I can't get my head around you

Somewhere in the night there's a light in front of me
Heaven up above with a shove, I beg it's me
Even though I try I fall in the river of you
You've managed to bring me down too

All your faking (Get up,Get up,Get up, Get up)
Shows you're aching (Get up, Get up, Get up)

Every single day what you say makes no sense to me
Lettin' you inside isn't right, you'll mess with me
I'll never really know what's really going on inside you
I Can't get my head around you

All your feeling (Get up,Get up,Get up,Get up)
Shows you're breathing (Get up, Get up, Get up)

Deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't wanna see
Covering it up like a cut with the likes of me
You know I've really tried, I can't do any more about you

(Yeaaaaaaaaah) The cut's getting deeper
(Yeaaaaaaaaah) The hill's getting steeper.

I guess I'll never know what's really going on inside you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you

Brainpower - Ghostbusters

[Publiek: Brainpower! Brainpower!...]

Zulle we nou krijgen, een dronken zwerver? En arrogant?
Ey, wat heb ik gemist man? joh!

Ex, je naam is een toepasselijk ding
Net m'n vorige vriendin een vals liegende skin
En precies door dat gedrag loop je je shit te verkloten
en moet je Brainpower dissen om je shit te promoten
En nou, het is gelukt in elk artikel noemt men m'n naam
En dat zonder dat ik iets uit heb gepraat, ja doe dat me maar na
En aangezien het je tweede jeugd is, ben je vast wel vitaal
Nou mooi ik maak je verbaal af, met mijn kant van dit verhaal

Wat bij mij is uitgekomen, yo, zijn zuiver dromen
Die claims van jou zijn ruimgenomen, uit je duim gezogen
Jij mij op de kaart zetten? Wat dan? Zeker een ansichtkaart
Kijk in de spiegel Peet, de schuldige man zit daar
Want mensen worden grijs, want Ex is niet wijs,
want ja hij maakt wel een plaat, gaat niet op tour of op reis
Het is onzekerheid, het vreet je op, je zweet nog
En o ja, er zijn meer woorden in deze taal dan "Je weet toch"

Battle je wreed kapot, dat is zeker joh
Want Peter Kops zit met Extince in de knoop net als Heleen en Rob
Dus jouw roem is naar mijn hoofd gestegen. Hoe dan?
Kom op daag me uit op stage of TV, toe dan!
Je loopt naast je schoenen ouwe, vandaar die kaaslucht 3blegh#
Dus houd je sokken liever aan en neem wat vaart terug
Wacht even, rustig aan, boekje open, blader terug
En dan vertel ik het verhaal klaar, van jaren terug
Je vrienden voor mn raps en ik geef Ivan nog respect
Want hij zei het je echt "Ken je die Braintje?"
Is ie vet? Opgelet! Is ie ill? Hij is mad!
En dan word je gecheckt, nah, goede kans, pak hem vet
En plus ik werkte me de tyfus, en bouwde respect
En ik groeide mad en echt niet maar alleen door die track
Ik ripte mics #bleh# vet echt op elke plek
Breek na jaren zwoegen door en dan vindt men het megawack

Ik hoef geen zogenaamde props, man, flikker toch op
Want hier gelooft men echt in je en bigt men je op
Als je maar niet te groot wordt, oh wacht even, ho stop
Straks wordt het nog écht wat, straks blowt ie nog op
En check je brein Kops, of wat je er dan ook in hebt
En fuck voorrondes, ik spit wanneer ik zin heb
Een freestyle, jij tegen mij? Laat me niet lachen
Met de camera's aan wordt het dan een tragische dag hè,
dan gaan we toch lachen!

Je kwam nooit verder dan dat vage gebrabbel
van wat je in je wagen toen trachte
"Heb jij dat nummer, van die drummer, jatoch?"
Flip flop, flikker op, man, ik rip op, hiphop
Dit joch werkte zich kapot voor z'n props en zie daar
Brainpower plusminus duizend shows in vier jaar
Blije festivalpubliek? Dit is dus praktisch half Nederland
En onderschat je fans nooit Ex, dat is pas arrogant
W-w-wigga W de waarheid, en hoe echt
ik zie een kale witte gast op de (...) met een doo-rag
Mensen, vergis je niet met wat ik wat en hoe zeg
Ben iemand met veel respect voor Hollands old-school rap
Maar wat deze gast me nu zegt is volledig tyfuskut
Snoer je mond en (...) en ga eens op tour jij nietsnut
Oh nu snap ik het Je wilt niet van dat blije publiek
En ik houd wel van die mensen, misschien maakt dat me uniek

Want kids weten niet zo gauw met wie die Extince zit
maar weten zeker weten wel wat Brainiac-shit is
Ik zal je laten voelen wat een MC-extinct is
Uitgestorven, ja, als een mammoet, echt dit is
een Extince-diss, en Extince is, iemand die zeikt
en da's maf in ruil voor alle love en credit die ik gaf
En nu maar doen alsof ik je spot heb ingenomen
rot op met die symptomen van opgefokte dromen
Een hoop opgeklop, een moddergegooi met kloten
een tweede Jeugd of een met kops vol drop hormonen
Suikergoed gedachte man en opgezochte kloot
En rot op met je hormonen alsof ik je dom zal clonen
En nooit gaf ik je echt disrespect zonder clou
En nu daag je Brain uit met shit out of the blue
Mulder en de X-Files, we konden samen cash maken
Maar in dit kleine land wil liever iedereen wraken
En ja, blijf maar praten, je spraakwater is op (aha!)
't is zwaar maar waarheid lest de dorst

Aaahh.
Je loopt niet meer voor, je flowt achter (baks)
Je ziet spoken, bel de ghostbusters (Gast)

Je loopt niet meer voor, je flowt achter (baks)
Je ziet spoken, bel de ghostbusters

Aaahh.
Je loopt niet meer voor, je flowt achter (baks)
Je ziet spoken, bel de ghostbusters (Gast)

Je flowt niet meer voor, je loopt achter (baks)
Je ziet spoken, bel de GHOSTBUSTERS!

Aaahh.
Je loopt niet meer voor, je flowt achter (baks)
Je ziet spoken, bel de GHOSTBUSTERS! (Gast)

Je loopt niet meer voor, je flowt achter (baks)
Je ziet spoken, bel de GHOSTBUSTERS!

Aaahh.
Je loopt niet meer voor, je flowt achter (baks)
Je ziet spoken, bel de GHOSTBUSTERS(Gast)

Je flowt niet meer voor, je loopt achter (baks)
Je ziet spoken, bel de GHOSTBUSTERS!

M'n tweede was de doorbraak, m'n derde wordt echt een reus. Je derde was tweede jeugd, je vierde wordt derde keus.
En als ik in de schaduw sta, dan staan we samen man. In die van Big Daddy Kane, Rakim en KRS ONE
Inderdaad Wackstince, bent hiphop geschiedenis
Omdat je toekomst geniepig lyrically niet te genieten is
En daar die dichter met die bril een sympathieke is
Zal die wel even meegaan in die belachelijke trieste tricks
Ik heb alles aan jou te danken
bijvoorbeeld wie ik ken, mijn succes en mijn fans, mijn vriendschap met TLM
wie ik ben m'n spirit en m'n zen, de lyrics die ik ben
m'n albums en tracks en m'n kennis van ABM
Misschien was jij de reden van George Michael bij Wham!
en schreef je alle texten voor Miker G en DJ Sven
en regelneefde je die hook-up van Dre en Eminem (tuurlijk!), NWA en Ren, Columbus en Uncle Sam.
En Afrika Bam stapte toch bij jou in de tram, hij zag Kool Herc. Ze begonnen samen hiphop en DAMN!
Dat ik dat niet eerder zag man, bedankt voor de verheldering, mooi gedaan op Doorgaan (mwoah),
bedankt voor de keldering, van het niveau,
show niet met die ouwe shit en what the fuck man,
wees blij dat ik in '88 geen contract had, want ik flowde je vast plat
"als niet als je het niet gedacht had" Val Henny Vrienten lastig met je last gast.

En opgekrast, afgemaakt, opgefokt en afgedankt, uitgevlakt en ingemaakt, opgevreten uitgekakt, ingepeperd, uitgelegt, weggesnaaid, d'r uitgestuurd, kapot gespit, verrot geduwd en uitgekauwd, en uitgeteld
Voor elke neppe pannenkoek die z'n bek nog opentrekt
van jaloezie wegtrekt, omdat ik meer succes heb (sukkels!)
Ik battle niet meer met raps, maar trek m'n plan in m'n tracks
Battle alleen nogmaar mezelf en verder heb je dan pech

De naakte waarheid die ik zeg,
ik wil 'm bloter zien worden en hiphop hier in Holland simpelweg groter zien worden.
Van elke achterbuurt tot in elk gat
van de wallen in de stad tot Jan en alleman op het platteland
en op de radio 1,2,3,4 en 538, Phat Beats, vannix en Kink FM en Yo What's Up.
Alle DJ's en clubs, journalistieke peeps, maar in de allereerste plaats is dit voor alle mc's, want het gaat gaat om skills, originaliteit en talent,
geen gebitch, represent, zeg je ding, wees een vent, maar verzin geen event,
in beginsel geplant, met verzinsels geremd,
wrijf het in, in je nek, want ik vind het toch nep, dat meneer "meneer" zegt, alsof ik een air heb,
je verzint shit terplekke, en Yo 'k vind het toch wack, je bent niet chill en niet flex, dus ik kill je terecht met veel illere raps

En yo check wat ik zeg, want je bent nu m'n snack,
want Ex heeft toch geen track en z'n diss geen effect.
En geloof me nou Jack, houdt me in met m'n text en wat je zegt heeft minder zin dan een pik zonder sex, geef shit gratis weg, het interesseert me geen zier. Websites, cd-r, mp3, mp-4
en wat betreft die spoken Kops, kom op, neem het niet te persoonlijk op, maar (uhh) "Laat het lekker los"

Vitamine B toch?
Je weet toch?

[Publiek: Brainpower! Brainpower!....]

Je weet toch? Je weet toch? Weet toch? Zeg je weet toch? Uhhh.. Weet toch? Je weet toch? Je weet toch? Je weet toch? Je weet toch?

[Vrouw zingt]
Peter, ik vertrouw je voor geen meter
Wat je zegt, wat je doet, wat je geeft
ik geloof je niet meer

Zo voel ik me dus op dit moment

Beatles - Yellow Submarine :p
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

As we live a life of ease
Everyone of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine.

We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

Pj Harvey - A Place Called Home

One day I know
We'll find a place of hope
Just hold on to me
Just hold on to me
Walk tight, one line
You're wanted this time
There's no one to blame
Just hold on to me

(Come on my love)
And I'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
And the bells keep ringing
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
And the girl keeps singing

One day there will be a place for us

I walk and I wade
Through full lands and lonely
I stumble, I stumble
With you I wait
To be born again
With love comes the day
Just hold on to me

(Come on my love)
And I'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
And the bells keep ringing

One day there will be a place for us

And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
And the girl keeps singing

One day there will be a place for us

Now is the time
To follow through
To read the signs
Now the message is sent
Let's bring it to it's final end

And I'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
And the bells keep ringing
One day they'll be a place for us
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
And the girl keeps singing
One day there will be a place for us

One day
I
Know
There will be
A place
Called
Home

Bryan Adams - I'm Ready

I'd like to see you, thought I'd let you know
I wanna be with you everyday
Cause I've got a feeling that's beginning to grow
And there's only one thing I want to say

I'm ready - to love you
I'm ready - to hold you
I'm ready - I'm ready
Ready as I'm gonna be

She left me a long note when she left me here
Told me that love was hard to find
But baby it's easy and I'll make it clear
That there's only one thing on my mind

I'm ready - to love you
I'm ready - to hold you
I'm ready - I'm ready
Ready as I'm gonna be

Hooked up the year before
Together thirteen outta twenty four
And you would never guess
I wanna miss you less and see you more,
See you more, see you more, see you more

And when I kiss you I'm never sure
How do I get to miss you less and see you more?

Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better

Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue - Where the wild roses grow

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

CHORUS

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"

On the second day he came with a single red rose
Said, "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
He said, "If I show you the roses will you follow?"

CHORUS

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said "All beauty must die"
Lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

CHORUS

Eej, die is ook van mij en TT

Operators, sorry voor de slowchat. Hij is begonnen!

Tell me tell me is life just a playground
Think you're the real deal honey
and someone'll always look after you

but wake up baby
you're so totally deluded
you'll end up old and lonely
if you don't get a bullet in your head

good luck good luck
good luck in your new bed
enjoy your nightmares honey
when you're resting your head

you sold me sold me
sold me down the river now
hope you're feeling happy now
now you'll always have a sneer in your smile

but wake up baby
you're so totally deluded
you'll end up old and lonely
if you don't get a bullet in your head

good luck good luck
good luck in your new bed
enjoy your nightmares honey
when you're resting your head

And I'm glad so glad that I'm done with you
No more crying crying leaving me so black and blue
You backed me up against the wall but I stand tall
Don't give a damn no more

Oh baby bye bye
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
Without you

Good good luck
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares when your resting your head
Good good luck
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares

good luck good luck
good luck in your new bed
enjoy your nightmares honey
when you're resting your head

Mag dat niet hier dan

Dat numme is uit '96 van vorige eeuw, hoe oud was je toen

"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it and I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream...

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

Ik heb je al eens eerder moeten missen.
Ik was je al eens vaker even kwijt.
Toch heb ik er nooit aan hoeven wennen,
jou niet meer om me heen te hebben.
Je vond altijd je weg naar mij.
Het voelt heel anders nu je weggaat.
Voor altijd

Zoveel herinneringen samen.
Zoveel wat jou met mij verbind.
Zoveel meer dingen.
Die je nergens anders vindt.

Het leven gaat voorbij.
Maar je leeft door in mij.
In alles wat je hebt gegeven.
Wat je me leerde in dit leven.
De mooie dingen die je zei.
Lieve schat, hier in m'n hart,
hou ik een kamer voor je vrij.

voor altijd....

Rui Da Silva - Badagry Beach (tekst van Ben Onono)

Tekst over een strand in Nigeria dat vroeger is gebruikt door Portugal als haven voor slavenhandel. geweldig omdat het je herinnert aan de geschiedenis maar vooral aan de dubbelzijdigheid van het leven Badagry Beach is schijnbaar een prachtig strand, maar met alles in het leven, het heeft zijn duistere en slechte kanten.

***
Mongo Park the explorer loved the light of Badagry Beach The singer Fela sang of the lights and the noise in her city air, of Badagry Beach.

The Portuguese sailors found trade on the malarious shores of Badagry Beach. The rusty shackles remain and bare testament of what went before. And I, if I knew her less, would I love her more? coz when I get to close to her is when I cant see the beauty of her anymore...

A masquerade, a beggar man, an Iroko tree, palm wine, a coral snake- Badagry was one of those beautiful and deadly things at the same time. Down by the mission under the Agia tree of Badagry Beach and I wonder to myself how many secrets she holds and will never let show. And as I walk along her golden shore line, diesel oil and sand under my feet, washed by the tides that came before and come again.....

Harmattan winds are blowing, Harmattan winds are blowing Spirits that swirl in the dust devils and disappear...

A loneliness that is continental wanders far and wide A loneliness that is an inward thing can rock itself to sleep every night And I, if I knew her less would I love her more If I knew her less would I love her more

Coz when I get too close to her, is when I can't see the beauty of her anymore.
***

So you face it with a smile
There is no need to cry
For a trifle's more than this

Will you still recall my name
And the month it all began
Will you release me with a kiss

Have I tried to draw the veil
If I have - how could I fail?
Did I fear the consequence

..dazed by careless words
Cosy in my mind

Chorus: I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go

Now you shaped that liquid wax
Fit it out with crater cracks
Sweet devotion- my delight

Oh, you're such a pretty one
And the naked thrills of flesh and skin
Would tease me through the night
"Now i hate to leave you bare
If you need me I'll be there
Don't you ever let me down"

..dazed by careless words
Cosy in my mind

And I touched your face
Narcotic mind from lazed Mary-Jane

And I called your name
Like an addicted to cocaine calls for the stuff he'd rather blame

And I touched your face
Narcotic mind from lazed Mary-Jane

And I called your name
-My cocain
