Welke teksten doen je wat?

Empty woods, endless tunes
You see me, I see you
In a crowd, see my face
I love you
Take my hand and walk with me
Love you do will always be
Anything can come true
If you believe belive it will
I believe it's magic
I believe it's magic
I believe it's magic - magic - magic
I'm here for you, that's what you said
I never felt like this with woman, any woman
Strangers meet, strangers dream
Some call it love, I call it magic
Now I'm in you and it feels so right
So hold on, hold on tight
Yes its true
I believe, believe in you
I believe it's magic
I believe it's magic
I believe it's magic, magic, magic
I believe it's magic
I believe its magic
I believe it's magic, magic, magic
My baby told me once
My baby told me twice
My baby told me three times
Three times nice
"Please - please - please - let's make some"
I believe it's magic
I believe it's magic
I believe it's magic, magic
I believe it's magic
I believe it's magic
I believe it's magic, magic
Magic, magic
Turned my hand and walked with me
She said "I'll tell you Mickey, I do believe
In the power of love, your magic wand's
The thing that makes me sing this song"
Please - please - please
I believe it's magic
I believe it's magic
I believe it's magic
Magic
Magic, magic

AMHRÁN NA bhFIANN
Sinne Fianna Fáil atá faoi gheall ag Éireann,
Buíonn dár slua thar tionn do ráinig chughainn
Faoi mhóid bheith saoir, seantír ar sinsear feasta
Ní fhágfar faoin tiorán ná faoin tráil;
Anocht a théann sa bhearna baoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil,
Le gunna-scréach, faoi lámach na bpiléar,
Seo libh canaig Ámhrán na bhFiann.

Seo dhaoibh, a chairde, duan Óglaigh.
Caithréimeach, bríomhar, ceolmhar,
Ár dtintne cnámh go buarach táid,
S an spéir go mín réaltógach;
Is fonntchar faobhrach sinn chun gleo,
S go tiunmhar glé roimh thíocht don ló,
Faoi chiúnas caomh na hoíche ar seol,
Seo libh, canaig Ámhrán na bhFiann.

Prachtig toch...

Love of my life - you hurt me,
You broken my heart and now you leave me.
Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know, what it means to me.

Love of my life don't leave me,
You've stolen my love, you now desert me,
Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me because you don't know - what it means to me.

You won't remember -
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way -
When I get older
I will be there by your side to remind you how I still love you - still love you.

Back - hurry back,
Don't take it away from me,
because you don't know what it means to me - Love of my life
Love of my life...

There's blood on the floor
And you're not even moving
Don't really know if it's mine or yours
But you ain't moving
Eyes are wide as you grin at me
You know there's a place that you'd rather be
But if you should die and I survive
How could I go on knowing that I'm still alive
Here breathing
There's a beast that's living deep within me
Forcing me to feed all my needs
Yeah he's in me
And brought us here to end our fears
To wave goodbye to all of the tears
To start a new life on the other side of the river
Well my world would be over
Hold on, Hold on, I won't be long
Wait for me, man, I won't be long
You were such in a rush to reach the other side
Look at yourself with that look in your eye
Smiling wide and pre-occupied with that river
Well my world would be over.

Geweldig

Alleen Keith Caputo is nu een beetje weg dus er is nix meer van ze over

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying."

We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there might not be one
The words stuck in my mind
alive from what I've learned
I have to seize the day
To home I returned
Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye

I said, "I Love You...Good-bye"
"It's the most awful thing you'll ever hear."
"If you're lying to me..."
"Oh, you dearly love her."
"...just have to leave... all our lives."
"Sieze the day!"
"Something happened."
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
"She was killed."

IV. The Darkest of Winters
instrumental
V. Another World
So far or so it seems
All is lost with nothing fulfilled
Off the pages and the T.V. screen
Another world where nothing's true
Tripping through the life fantastic
Lose a step and never get up
Left alone with a cold blank stare
I feel like giving up
I was blinded by a paradise
Utopia high in the sky
A dream that only drowned me
Deep in sorrow, wondering why
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Then string him up for all the world to see
I'm sick of all you hypocrites
holding me at bay
And I don't need your sympathy
to get me through the day
Seasons change and so can I
Hold on Boy, No time to cry
Untie these strings, I'm climbing down
I won't let them push me away
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Now it's time for them to deal with me
VI. The Inevitable Summer
instrumental
VII. The Crimson Sunset
I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
run through my head
They taught me how
for better or worse, alive or dead
I realize there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Set to see the Crimson Sunset
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
"Seize the day and don't you cry,
Now it's time to say good-bye
Even though I'll be gone,
I will live on, live on."

jaja weet het ...ben een klootzak

Over de muur - Klein Orkest

Oost-Berlijn, unter den Linden:
Er wandelen mensen langs vlaggen en vaandels.
Waar Lenin en Marx nog steeds op een voetstuk staan.

En iedereen werkt, hamers en sikkels,
Terwijl in parade-pas de wacht wordt gewisseld.
40 Jaar socialisme er is in die tijd veel bereikt...

Maar wat is nou die heilstaat,
Als er muren omheen staan?
Als je bang bent, voorzichtig met je mening moet omgaan?
Ach, wat is nou die heilstaat, zeg mij wat is ie waard,
Wanneer iemand die afwijkt voor gek wordt verklaard?

Ref.
En alleen de vogels vliegen van Oost- naar West-Berlijn.
Worden niet truggefloten, ook niet neergeschoten.
Over de muur, over het IJzeren Gordijn,
Omdat ze soms in het westen soms ook in het oosten willen zijn.
Omdat ze soms in het westen soms ook in het oosten willen zijn.

West-Berlijn: de Kurfurstendamm!
Er wandelen mensen langs porno en peepshow.
Waar Mercedes en Cola, nog steeds op een voetstuk staan.

En de neonreclames, die glitterend lokken:
Kom dansen! Kom eten! Kom zuipen! Kom gokken!
Dat is nou 40 jaar vrijheid, er is in die tijd veel bereikt...

Maar wat is nou die vrijheid, zonder huis, zonder baan?
Zoveel Turken in Kreuzberg die amper kunnen bestaan.
Goed... je mag demonstreren, maar met je rug tegen de muur
En alleen als je geld hebt, dan is de vrijheid niet duur.

Ref.
En de vogels vliegen van West- naar Oost-Berlijn.
Worden niet truggefloten, ook niet neergeschoten.
Over de muur, over het IJzeren Gordijn,
Omdat ze soms in het oosten soms ook in het westen willen zijn.
Omdat er brood ligt soms bij de Gedachtniskirche, soms op het Alexanderplein!

It was the hottest day in July and all along Santa Monica boulevard
Cars were stood still and a gleaming metal tube
Would stretch all the way from Highland back to La Brea
And she met under the Los Angeles sunshine
A young man was sitting at the wheel on his way to make a pickup
Turned off the air-con, rolled down the window and began to sweat
Out over the hollywood hills he saw the clouds building like great dark towers of rain
Ready to come tumbling down any day now not a day too soon any day now
And as the music drifted in from other cars his eyes started to slip
This is the story of his dream (sing blue silver)
Sing, sing blue silver this is the story of his dream
This is the story of his dream

I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with Death my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you:
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you"

Bob Dylan:
Baby, You Been On My Mind
Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat,
uncoverin' the crossroads I am standin' at,
or maybe it's the weather or somethin' like that,
But baby you've been on my mind.
I am not asking you to say words like yes or no
please understand me, I've got no place for you to go.
I'm just breathin' to myself pretending not that I don't know,
Baby, you've been on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
where you been, don't bother me or bring me down in sorrow.
It don't even matter to me where you're wakin' up tomorrow,
Baby, you've been on my mind.

When you wake up in the mornin' baby look inside your mirror
you know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near.
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear,
As someone who has had you on his mind.

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Close than the leaves
On a weepin' willow, baby, we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters "A" and "B" are
All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why than
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
I have made the big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
And you can't help me now, you guys
And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off and dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jim's in this town
And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
'Cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don't care anymore
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead
Then thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know

we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
and the machine is bleeding to death

the sun has fallen down
and the billboards are all leering
and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

it went like this:

the buildings tumbled in on themselves
mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
and pulled out their hair

the skyline was beautiful on fire
all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything washed in a thin orange haze

i said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
these are truly the last days"

you grabbed my hand and we fell into it
like a daydream or a fever

we woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
for sure it's the valley of death

i open up my wallet
and it's full of blood

I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world
But I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore

On a different day
If I was safe in my own skin
Then I wouldn't be lost and so frightened
But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin
And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore

I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again

Juste une autre vie sauvée de l'oubli
Gravée bien mieux que par une lame
Dans la mémoire d'Abraham

Longue l'attente de l'heure
Lourde la peine en nos coeurs
Mais si grands notre amour notre foi en toi
Et difficile de te comprendre parfois

Que sera demain nos destins plus loin?
Un peu de paix d'amour et de pain
Au creux de tes mains

Longue l'attente de l'heure
Lourde la peine en nos coeurs
Mais si grands notre amour notre foi en toi
Et difficile de te comprendre parfois

Conduis nos enfants pour la fin des temps
Remplis de plus de joies que de larmes
La mémoire d'Abraham

La mémoire d'Abraham - Celine Dion

As ik op de fietse zit
Dan wöl ik graag rechtdeur
Dan wil ik snel op huus an
Weg van dat gezeur
Ik rie dan zönder licht
Want dat red ja niet zo zwaor
n onverwacht obstaokel
daorin skuult dan het gevaor
wie hef die dingen daor neer zet
wat hef dat veur n nut

betonpaolties, betonpaolties
betonpaolties, betonpaolties bennen kut!!

En toen kwam dus de dag
Dat ik ze nie ontweek
Ik klapte op zon kutpaol
Zo as later bleek
De dokter zee:
potdomme keerl,
hoe krie j t toch veur mekaar
dit heb ik nog nooit zien
dit komp nooit weer klaor!
Wie hef die dingen daor neerzet
Wat hef dat veur n nut!

Ik vreug mie toen dus af
Wie hef die weg bepaald
Ik heb n doktersrekening
Die is nog nie betaald
k had alle botten breuken
k lag n maond an n infuus
en bovendien leup ik ok nog
n half jaor bij huus

You could be my unintended
choice to live my life extended
you could be the one i'll always love
you could be the one who listens
to my deepest inquisitions
you could be the one i'll always love
i'll be there as soon as i can
but i'm busy mending broken peices
of the life i had before
first there was the one
who challenged all my dreams
and all my balance
she could never be as good as you
you could be my unintended choice
to live my life extended
you should be the one i'll always love
i'll be there as soon as i can
but i'm busy mending broken peices
of the life i had before
i'll be there as soon as i can
but i'm busy mending broken peices
of the life i had before

I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest, who'd have known?
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all

I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone

I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside

The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone

I never thought I'd die alone
Another six months, I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never step foot in my room again

You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault

I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside

The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone

I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside

The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I've survived
I can't wait 'til I get home
To pass the time in my room alone

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky

And call out your name And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold Now that you've gone away

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

Gaat over de hemel voor het geval je het nog niet doorhad.

So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone , on your own
Retreating

Regretful for the things you're not
And all things you haven't got
Without a home , a heart of stone Lies Bleeding
And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the dreams you had to leave behind

I am the way , I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes ,
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams
Don't turn away ,
just take my hand
And when you make
your final stand
I'll be right there ,
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you ...
... Believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string, the grown up wings you needed

But when you had to add them up
You found that they were not enough
To get you in
Pay for sins repeated

And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the years you hide
And for all the fears you had to keep inside

I am the way , I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes ,
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams
Don't turn away ,
just take my hand
And when you make
your final stand
I'll be right there ,
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you ...
... Believe

I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
'Till time wasted me
I never wanted to go
I always wanted to stay
'Cause the person I am
are the parts that I play
So I plot an I plan
And I hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay.

I am the way , I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes ,
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams
Don't turn away ,
just take my hand
And when you make
your final stand
I'll be right there ,
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you ...
... Believe

-Veel nummers van Coldplay
-Play dead/Bachelorette/I miss you - Bjork

maar er zijn nog veel meer teksten die mij wat doen natuurlijk

Life - thin as a thread
Sometimes you're lucky
Sometimes you're better off dead

Your first breath is taken and in to the world you are cast
You long for tomorrow while living each day as your last

Well I know what your heart desires
But you can't take it with you
Into the fire

Now you've done all you can
Your life's at the crossroads
You watch as it slips through your hands

So stand on the mountain and shout in vain at the sky
But nobody hears you - the words only echo inside
Oh shelter the flame - it may expire
Risin' up from the ashes
Into the fire

Just hold on to your life down to the wire
Oh out from the dragon's jaws
Into the fire

There's a moment in every man's life
When he must decide what is wrong and what's right

You could wait for your dreams to come true
But time has no mercy
Time won't stand still for you

Well I know what your heart desires
Crawlin' out from the wreckage
Into the fire

Here I go...into the fire
I know...what your heart desires

Come on and twist that knife again
Well I'd like to see you fucking try
Never going back again
An anwer won't come from me
Confront your own worst enemy
What does your mirror see
Is it time to face up to me?

Anathema - Regret
As I drift away... far away from you,
I feel all alone in a crowded room,
Thinking to myself
"There's no escape from this
fear
regret
loneliness... "

Visions of love and hate
A collage behind my eyes
Remnants of dying laughter
Echoes of silent cries
I wish I didn't know now what
I never knew then...

Flashback
Memories punish me again.
Sometimes I remember all the pain
that I have seen.
Sometimes I wonder what might
have been...

Visions of love and hate
A collage behind my eyes
Remnants of dying laughter
Echoes os silent cries

And sometimes I despair
At who I've become
I have to come to terms
With what I've done

The bittersweet taste of fate
We can't outrun the past
Destined to find an answer
A strength I never lost
I know there is a way,
My future is not set,
For the tide has turned
But still I never learned to live
without regret.

Anathema - Parisienne moonlight
I feel I know you
I don?t know how
I don?t know why
I see you feel for me
You cried with me
You would die for me
I
know I need you
I want you
To be free of all the pain
You have inside
You cannot hide
I know you tried
To be who you couldn?t be
You tried to see inside of me

And now I?m leaving you
I don?t want to go
Away from you
Please try to understand
Take my hand
Be free of all the pain
You hold inside
You cannot hide
I know you tried
To feel

Pearl Jam - Given to fly
He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up out of there ran for hundreds of miles...
He made it to the ocean
Had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knees

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings - "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh! He's FLYING! Oh, HIGH! WIDE! Oh...

He floated back down cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well fuckers... he still stands.

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away...
The love he recieves is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
He's FLYING! Oh, HIGH! WIDE!
He's FLYING!

After all the jacks are in their boxes
and the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
footsteps dressed in red
And the wind whispers Mary
A broom is drearily sweeping
up the broken pieces of yesterdays life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind, it cries Mary
The traffic lights, they turn, uh, blue tomorrow
and shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags down stream
'cause the life that lived is,
is dead
And the wind screams Mary
Uh-will the wind ever remember
the names it has blow in the past?
And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
it whispers no, this will be the last
And the wind cries Mary

Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile

Voodoo chile

Well, I'm a voodoo chile
Lord I'm a voodoo chile

Well, the night I was born
Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I swear the moon turned a fire red
Well my poor mother cried out "lord, the gypsy was right!"
And I seen her fell down right dead
(Have mercy)

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'
And set me on a eagles back
Well, mountain lions found me there,
And set me on a eagles wing
(Its' the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
He took me past to the outskirts of infinity,
And when he brought me back,
He gave me a venus witch's ring
Hey!
And he said "Fly on, fly on"
Because I'm a voodoo chile, baby, voodoo chile
Hey!

Well, I make love to you,
And lord knows you'll feel no pain
Say, I make love to you in your sleep,
And lord knows you felt no pain
(Have mercy)
'Cause I'm a million miles away
And at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame
(Yeah! What did I say now)
'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

Well my arrows are made of desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
Say my arrows are made of desire, desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
(Way down by the Methabe Sea, yeah)
I have a humming bird and it hums so loud,
You think you were losing your mind, hmmm...

Well I float in liquid gardens
And Arizona new red sand
(Yeah)
I float in liquid gardens
Way down in Arizona red sand

Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue,
Way down in California
And the n New York drowns as we hold hands

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
Yeah!

LYNYRD SKYNYRD - SIMPLE MAN

Simple Man
(Gary Rossington - Ronnie VanZant)

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.

Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

(Chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(Chorus)

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(Chorus)

Counting Crows - Four Days

All I want is something good
It gets harder every time
She is leaving here tonight
Take a breath
Take your time
Spread your wings and rise

Make a mark upon the wall
Paint your face and pass the time
Close your eyes and she ascends
Hold your breath and ease your mind
Forty Thousand times
Time fades into the night

They descend and then they climb
Feathers falling through the night
Have you seen Ohio rise?
It has been four days and nights

All I want is something fine
It gets harder every time
She is sleeping far away
Take a breath
Take your time
Spread your wings and rise
Rise into the black Ohio skies

Counting Crows - Daylight fading

Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside
And I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive
Well I heard you let somebody get their fingers into you
It's getting cold in California
I guess I'll be leaving soon

Daylight fading
Come and waste another year
All the the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear
Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn
When we see the early signs that daylight's fading
We leave just before it's gone

She said "everybody loves you,"
she says, "everybody cares"
But all the things I keep inside myself
they vanish in the air
If you tell me that you'll wait for me
I'll say I won't be here
I want to say goodbye to you
Goodbye to all my friends
Goodbye to everyone I know

Daylight fading
Come and waste another year
All the the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear
Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn
When we see the early signs that daylight's fading
We leave just before it's gone

Teveel om op te noemen Ik plaats er 2
Ik gaf die al eerder weg.. (speciaal voor jou deze post)

(Alanis Morissette - Hand in my pocket)

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm shore but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocked
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
What it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby
What it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
What it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab...

(Duncan Browne - Wild Places)

La prima donna slipped into her leather
but she was restless, she knew it in her hearts of hearts
she said "tonight you'd better pull yourself together
because tonight I'm going to pull myself apart"
out on the streets everyone is searching for a thrill
but she's the only one that's out there really dressed to kill
and she said: "listen to me, it's not a tragedy
this time I'm getting through and now there's something you can do for me and
ohhh... take me to the wild places
and let me show you what the night is for
'cause I don't want to dream, I want to set the weels in motion
I don't want to see your eyes across a dancing floor..."

t.v. angel with her eyes full of smoke
gazing at the hero, he's so mucho macho
he shrugs, he says "this must ne some kind of joke"
as she pulls on his cigarette and love him to distraction
but she cries " I don't want to feel like a machine
I'm not the only one who wants to feel the in-between
that's why I'm deep into this fatal fascination-
that's why I've lost the art of conversation, and
ohhh... take me to the wild places
if you want to see what's really in my soul
but you'd better keep your eyes on where my pretty face is
'cause in the heat of the moment I just lose control (repeat)
in the heat of the moment I just lose control..."

Eyes out of focus, the sharpening of blades,
the sad tension, reek of patchouli-
even the jokers are dealing in spades,
it's one dimension, it's all so passé
just then a voice said "honey, it's too late to change your mind"
her face tightened, I could see she'd found a new design
and she said "listen to me, it's just a fantasy
this time I'm coming through and now there's something you can do for me and
ohhhh... just take me to the wild places
and let me show you what the night is for
and I don't want to dream, I want to set the wheels in motion
I want to see your eyes across the dancing floor
ooh, lover set the wheels in motion
ooh, lover set the wheels in motion
ooh, lover set the wheels in motion
In the heat of the moment I just lose control..."

Ineens ben ik wakker
En gewoon als altijd
Mijn broek, mijn shirt, mijn sleutels en weg
Ik trek op, ik laat achter
Ik ben leuk voor een nacht en
Dat weet ik, hoeft niet nog eens gezegd

En nu komt de zon, de zon komt op
En ik rij er recht op af
Asfalt voor mij alleen
De koning te rijk
Alles van mij waar ik kijk
Met dat gevoel dat zich niet laat verdrijven
Ik had eigenlijk langer willen blijven

Ik doe de radio aan
Draai het raam naar beneden
't Is koel, 't is nog geen half zes
't Begint steeds in de kroeg
En het eindigt altijd 's morgens vroeg
Ik alleen, in mijn oude DS

En nu komt de zon, de zon komt op
En ik rij er recht op af
Asfalt voor mij alleen
De koning te rijk
Alles van mij waar ik kijk
Met dat gevoel dat zich niet laat verdrijven
Ik had eigenlijk langer willen blijven

Het is nu zes in de morgen
Ik heb de zon in mijn rug
Ik rij terug naar jouw huis
Mijn hoofd in de wind
Maar benieuwd wat ik vind
Misschien eindelijk ergens thuis

En nu komt de zon, de zon komt op
En ik rij er midden in
Asfalt voor mij alleen

Hoorde deze laatst op de radio en vond 'm zo goed! Die tekst, prachtig gewoon...
