SONGTEKSTEN
Old
Love in a Strong Heart
Boj
no more
As the sun
hides behind yellow clouds
And a shadow falls green on the land
As I feel I’m no longer blinded by youth
And the tremor lets go of my hands
As the thunderstorm cracks down
And washes away the summer fever –
Boj no more
I am cooling down from superheat
I’ll toil no more
For childish visionary dreams
I’m a boy no more
I am peeling off this long defeated
Coil of war
I am standing at the border
As the lightning
strikes with violence
I start to climb uphill
As the rain pours down and I’m soaked to the bone
I’m confident I won’t get killed
This is where I always wanted
To be, I let the anger go –
I can’t
deny the thrill that you give me
Reminds me of the years that have gone
It puts me through with parts of me
Hidden for so long
I’m looking through a window
With the litters no longer shut
Excuse me for a little laughter
It’s not that I want it to be like then
It’s not that I want it to be like that
Anymore
I tried to
tell you by sending a postcard
Wanted to speak my mind, is that a sin?
I tried to tell you – I love you
Now all this hurting is doing me in
Because you
tell me that you love another man
And I can’t imagine how I will live again
And every girl
everywhere
Seen on the back, she seems to be you
Any couple in any place
Every girl she’s got your face
My friends
keep trying to stop me from wondering “what if”… but
what if?
I’ll never know what it feels like to kiss you
Watch your eyes smiling into mine
I’ll have to comfort myself by staying busy
I meet lovely women but I really don’t care
Fooled again
by the beauty of a face
Would do anything for a hint of paradise
For a touch of the smoothness of her hair
For one spark of the glow in her eyes
But she's not the one I thought
Her heart is buried under blood and dust
She crushes insects under high-heel shoes
And her bright eyes mirror frost
Back in the
gutter where everything's familiar
I greet my morning hangovers with a smile
Back down in the gutter for a woman I don't know
I don't know - but I might be here for a while
'cause she's
not the one I thought
Her heart is buried under blood and dust
She crushes insects under high-heel shoes
And her bright eyes mirror only frost
The beautiful summer day
Makes me long for the winter
‘Cause the sun is always prettier
On the snow
I want to dance with you
See your hair waving
In the frozen air
Till we ain’t cold anymore
Look at you
Your head is full of wars
Your heart is full of pain
Where is the merry one I once knew
Look at me
I tried to try again
I let the hurt all wash away
In the rain
All I need
is for you to rediscover
The tenderness that seems to hide
All I need is for me to dare to touch you
Reactivate the love inside
Darling this
is not
The kind of love they sing about in books
No "Romeo and Juliet" for us now
Darling this is all
About patience, compassion
The urge to make you happy
In this tough world
All I need
is for you to rediscover
The tenderness that seems to hide
All I need is for me to dare to touch you
Reactivate the love inside
So sit down
Relax your trembling hands
Please try and understand
You’re tired and emotional
You shouldn't let them take away your life
you shouldn't let them buzz around your hive
Please realize that you are safe out here
Please realize that you are safe - my dear
Why can't you
see
There never was no hate
They must feel at least
As uncertain as you
Demon of distrust
Got you in its claws
You'd kill for any thoughtless thing
They might do
Trust me trust them too
Somewhere there's
a cave guarded by the lies you tell yourself
Inside there's a road blocked by the pictures you paint yourself
Back there is a wall - behind there's you
And of course
I can write a lovesong
But however much I storm your citadel
I just can't reach the heart
Defended by your careless arrows
If in ancient
times our fathers had married us to each other
We'd have had to find a way, like flowers planted too closely together
Now we run and drown each other in reproaches
And sure I
can write a lovesong
But however much I storm your citadel
I just can't reach the heart
Defended by your careless arrows
Will you keep
on denying what we had together
Will you keep on hiding inside that shell forever, forever...?
Will the mask stay on until we die?
Deep inside
the woods there is a pool in which you drown yourself
You struggle for the surface but you manage to keep yourself down
The smell of
coffee and cigarettes
A hotel lobby, 11 a.m.
Everyone went out into the gray city
But look at me, still here I am
Outside there's
diesel in the rain
Traveling woman steps down the stairs
I wash my whisky down my drain
She's far too pure for me, I guess
And all day
I watch the rain hitting my window
And all day I feel too blasé to feel sorrow
Johannesburg, Moscow, Seattle or Rome
The more homeless I feel, the more I feel at home
I feel rich
in the lounge in my business suit
Class seems rather a cheap thing to buy
All of a sudden, like a black-and-white movie
Pale young waitress catches my eye
Anorectic cosmopolitan
lifestyle
She wipes the ashes from our days
I step outside where the rainy stones
Await the gentle urban sunrays
And all day
I watch the rain hitting my window
And all day I feel too blasé to feel sorrow
Tokyo, Amsterdam, New Delhi or Rome
The more homeless I feel, the more I feel at home
Give me a smile
I can wear through the night
Shining at creatures that creep up beside
Gimme a feeling of coming home
A sudden likeness
makes me shiver
Memory creatures invade my head
I think I see you in yesterday's twilight
My fingers tremble as I hit the bed
Here I stand, watch the pavement
The first leaves have come down
I wrap my coat tighter ‘round me
Perhaps I’d better see
Where did I go? What have I done?
Am I really no longer young?
Now you may laugh at a man who thinks he’s old at 30 years
But if someone told me as a child where I’d be now
I wouldn’t have been satisfied at all
So world please allow me to sing
At the beginning of the end of spring
At the first hint of the fall
At the first hint of the fall
There was a day when I had a dream
Or rather, I had a million ones
I would be the one who would make a difference
I would change the world
And yes I did try this and that
But I never did this great thing
Well I never decided quite what to do
And if you try it all there’s nothing you’ll achieve
In the end
And suddenly your days of youth are gone
And now I punish
you for the way you are
For shooting down my star - you are
Like Titanic: watching the men
Sliding down your body into the cold water
Drowning in a sea of misery
I thought you were special but you're so superficial
You're sliding down the slope of my history
I always loved
the wrong girls - the ones who were bad
Whom I knew I could never get - and yet
I thought you were different, but now you are
Losing my respect by kissing every fucker
Giving yourself like the cheapest cunt
While you used to say you couldn't stand these guys who
Would run after you, couldn't stand this hunt
So now I'm
being punished for the way we are
I'm diving for my star so far
Deep down at the bottom like a dead meteor
You are lying next to it like a silver gleaming ship which
Doesn't realize yet that it's gone down
Smiling at the fish, not knowing how you'll cry
When you're rusty and there won't be nobody around
I met you at
the party
And you caused me an erection
You threw me back into
These rancid fantasies
I felt kind of astonished
‘Cause I thought it was all over
I never thought your sex
Could still bump into me
And my thoughts
flew back
To the days I was in love with you
The days when I still thought
You were a good girl, you’d be mine
I had to watch you give yourself
To anyone who wanted you
I watched you throw
Your pearls at swine
Let me not
want you
Why do I care for you
Don’t want to want you
Anymore
Let me not want you
Why do I care for you
Don’t want to want you
All the time
I even wrote
a song for you
About how much I felt victimized
And how you treated everyone
But how badly you treated me
And then I shrugged my shoulders
And called you a whore
Forgot about the promise
That you seemed to hold for me
Can anybody
tell me
If everyone contempts
A woman who will
Screw around all day
Then why does every man
Secretly dream of her
Wanting to be part
Of her play
Let me not
want you
Why do I care for you
Don’t want to want you
All the time
Let me not
want you
Why do I care for you
Don’t want to want you
Anymore
So I met you
at the party
And it gave me an erection
And I was not the only one
With dirty fantasies
From the glimmer in your eyes
I noticed you were horny
So I decided
It was just meant to be
Look at these
oranges - have a taste
Think about all the heart that I wasted
Chance of happiness passing by
I bit my orange and I close my eyes
You came rolling
up to me
You were smiling expectantly
I tried to love you for a while
You smiled the way only an orange can smile:
Sour like pain
and sweet as sin
I feel like one more orange will do me in
I'm a tightrope
walker with a lethal instinct
Never knew a girl without a kink
Never made a joke that didn't go too far
The door to craziness always ajar
Bittersweet
smell of rotten fruit
Inside me, decay has taken root
THE LAUGHTER
IS IN YOUR EYES,
IN THE MOVEMENTS OF YOUR HANDS,
IN YOUR VOICE AND IN YOUR CRAZY FOOTSTEPS. AND I WON'T REST 'TILL I AM
FUCKING CRAZY MYSELF
HAUNTED HAUNTED INTOXICATED BY YOU
Your smile
is now a disfigured grin
Please! Orange, orange! Do me in!
Baby I got
all this energy
But nothing to do
Oh I wish I could waste
All my energy on you
You know I keep myself waiting
It’s time for a move
If I could have you this summer
I would dance on the roof
And blow my top – oh yeah
You know ten
years ago
The weather forecast was always wrong
Because they would predict sunshine
And then rain would come along
And now it’s quite the opposite
They use a better technique
They predict it will be raining
It’s raining eight days a week
But I don’t mind
With you by my side
I climb my
watchtower
Searching the hazy horizons for some truth
I spot a figure in the snow
It is me - a cold disoriented youth
Always chasing butterflies
Believing they were heavensent
They always died the first day of autumn
And I wish for an end... to crushes
To never answered blushes
I remember
I met her -
I got out of my head
Boiled by fever! Wanted nothing
But to have her in my bed
I was so young, I had to learn
So many times I was made to see
She took another lover and left me yearning
They were always with me - these little crushes
Never answered blushes
Oh yes, little crushes
Now I look
at you -
I want to build us a home
I want to make babies
With your chromosomes
But your eyes sweep past me
And dwell on my best friend
And as you're stripping naked
I run away before my tears get out of hand...
these crushes
All I want is an end
An end
Last night
I caught myself dreaming
About you pretty dirty again
I woke up shocked; I thought
I'd finally become a wiser man
And why them guilty feelings?
No access to the promised land?
If you can't let me in there
Then at least grant me an end -
You have never
seen the jungle
Watched your world crumble
Your house burned down
You never roamed the ruins
Not knowing what your doing
In a bombed-to-death town
You never smelt
the fires
Of the funeral pires
Saw the bodies under sheets
Smelt the last smoke of the battle
Or never seen the cattle
Starving in the streets
You never killed
people for their races
Have never seen the faces
All smeared with blood
You never took up arms
Prefer a life so safe and calm
You never had the guts
You never smelt
the utter fears
Saw hysteric tears
Of those who lost all they ever had
A look in their eyes you've never seen before
Could you possibly ignore
The grievous turned mad
You turn the
TV off and yawn
And you finish your beer
You won’t let it haunt your dreams
You won’t let it come near
You turn the
TV off and yawn
And you finish your beer
You won’t let it haunt your dreams
You won’t let it come near
You have never
seen the jungle
Watched your world crumble
Your house burned down
You
never took up arms
Prefer a life so safe and calm
It won't even make you frown...
Mist hangt over Leiden en dempt iedere zucht
Gist uit Zoeterwoude brouwt bier in de lucht
Hier kan ik niet leven, waar ik overal al heb geleefd
Waar elke straatsteen is beschreven en zijn eigen fotoalbum heeft
Mijn eiland is twee kamers in een afgelegen flat
Waar teveel oude dromen rusten in mijn bed
Vergeelde wandtapijten in een uitgewoond paleis
Soms moet je je bagage kwijt en verder op je reis
Alles wat ik deed kwam me duur te staan
Toch weer aan het spelen met vuur gegaan
Ik stak mijn kont in ieder wespennest
Ik ga nu maar, dat is het best
De vijver bij De Valk, de regen een gordijn
Zoveel generaties ganzen bij de fontein
Zoveel huizen zoveel deuren zoveel mensen zijn gegaan
Ik voel me hier een banneling, laat me hier vandaan
Alles wat ik deed kwam me duur te staan
Toch weer aan het spelen met vuur gegaan
Ik stak mijn reet in ieder wespennest
Ik ga nu maar, dat is het best
Maar jij betreedt nog jong en fris het Leidse fort
Je zet je fijne voetjes waar mijn spoor al bleker wordt
Je kent niet mijn herinneringen, je gaat je eigen weg
Misschien zeg je over jaren wel precies wat ik nu zeg:
Ooit moet je een keertje verder gaan
Maak de trossen los en laat me hier vandaan
Veel te vaak over een nacht ijs
Zoveel schade zoveel schande en nog altijd niet erg wijs
Alles wat ik deed kwam me duur te staan
Toch weer aan het spelen met vuur gegaan
Ik stak mijn kont in ieder wespennest
Een nieuw begin, dat is het best
