From the Single:
* Yes! We’re on fire
Here we are, ready to run fast
And far better than anyone before
We chase the sun in the morning
We jump for gold
There are no losers in this game
Only winners participate
And you know I'm not a liar when I say
Yes we're on fire, Yes we're on fire
Yes we're on fire, Yes we're on fire
Silver, bronze and maybe gold
The blazing heat, the chilling cold
In this arena we all strive
To beat the records head up high
To break the records head up high
Yes we're on fire, Yes we're on fire
Yes we're on fire, Yes we're on fire
From javelin to boxing ring
From weightlifting to skating rink
Young and proud and passionate
Planet earth top athletes
The competition always fierce
With beating hearts and eyes so clear
To beat the records head up high
To break the records head up high
The sweat the tears, the blood we bleed
We are the living legends carving history
The flag that fills our hearts with pride
the joy that makes our spirit fly
And you know I'm not a liar when I say…..
Yes we're on fire, Yes we're on fire
Yes we're on fire. Yes we're on fire
on fire, on fire, we're on fire
From the Album:
* Golden Earring
When I wake up early in the morning
and sometimes I really do
Then you get up and you do some yawning
That's nothing new
But then, you know I wonder
If the morning, couldn't open his eyes
to reflections from the sun in the window
Nothing to blow your mind
Morning light, oh morning sun
‘cross my calendar
Morning light, oh morning sun
Was her day I will remember
I'm glad you're still there
Even though many don't care
Colours from you,
make you feel that all is new
Yellow and blue
are reflections of water and dew
and more of it all in the morning
in the morning............
From the Album:
* To the hilt
I'm standing on the clifftop, watchin' stormclouds grow
It's disappointment time again, I've been up here before
The wind balloons my jacket, seabirds collide below
A pier stands on a hundred stilts, some stranded U.F.O
I've stopped the car, in a dead end street
Rear view mirror, nothing but empty seats
I could brace myself, smash through the concrete
Find what's behind that wall of insecurity
From gin and jags, to sqaulor and skag
Selena, what a drag
Once we were, back to back
Almost there, but white was black
Why me?, designed to compete
Always, flirtin' with defeat
Why me?, I knew it when we met
Hell, what else could you expect
Why me?, hungry for affection
It ends, with chaos and rejection
Through the wall and over the cliff
I made the decision, you took quite a risk
Selena says, as she strokes my head
With luck like yours, you should be dead
Forget the past and melt my silver spoon
Selena, not a minute too soon
Broke the chains of negativity
At last I score a victory
Why me?, no need to compete
Nowadays, I think at defeat
She's me, I felt it when me met
That feel, cancels all regret
Me, the center of attraction
The and, adds to your confusion
I'm standin', on the clifftop
Waving, waving
Why me?, no need to compete
Nowadays, I wink at defeat
She's me, I felt it when we met
That feel, cancels all regret
Still me, the center of attraction
The and, adds to your confusion
I'm standin', on the clifftop
Waitin' for the cops
From the Albums:
* The hole
* The naked truth
We swing high, we swing low
Never worry ‘bout a dull moment
You're mine, I'm yours
We fight while we know that we shouldn't
Ten dollar, ten times
On sale to the highest bidder
Ten dollar, ten times
Is the price of love considered
You're right, I'm wrong
You always knew a good thing in the first place
One sundown, one moondown
One hole in a sky-blue ceiling
Ten dollar, ten times
Everytime you hold the trigger
Ten dollar, ten times
Is the price of love
Why do I, hurt you so
Why can't I just let you go
Why do I, hurt you so
While I idolize you forever more
Your “yes†against my “noâ€
We never worry ‘bout a dull moment
You're mine, I'm yours
We fight while we know that we shouldn't
Ten dollar, ten times,
the price of love
Why do I, hurt you so
Where will I be
When the sun won't shine anymore
Where will I be
When the moon won't smile anymore
Where will I be, where will I be
Maybe there's a place to hide from the frost
A place where life can get lost
Until then the end is near
and the skies will never be clear
Where will I be
When the sun ain't shining
Where will I be
When the moon ain't smiling
Where will I be
Where will I be
When the children stop crying
Where will I be
When the sun comes near flying
Faster than a bird
Is this again the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm
Where will I be
When the sun is burning
Where will I be
When man is yearning, for deliverance
Now, where will I be
Where will I be
When the children stop crying
Where will I be
When the sun comes near flying
Faster than a bird
Is this again the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm
Where will I be
When the sun ain't shining
Where will I be
When the moon ain't smiling
Where will I be
Where will I be
When the sun is burning
Where will I be
When man is yearning, for deliverance
Where will I be

When the lady smiles, you know it drives me wild
Her lips are warm and resourceful
When her fingertips, go drawing circles in the night
And the mood is soft and sensual, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
It's the answer to all my dreams
Everytime it feels like the earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin', I hear it shatter
Maybe it's raining, faster and faster
Shadow dancin', together oh I
I'm a bettin' on the game of love
oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at me
and I'm feelin' proud
When the lady smiles, she holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles, I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact, I don't resist at all
‘cos I'm walking on clouds and she is leadin' the way
My friends tell me, she's the beast inside your paradise
I guess you've heard it all before
A fallen angel, that has got you hypnotised
and that always needs some more, hu-u
and I love it, yeah I love it
She's done nothin' to mislead me
‘cos everytime we meet the earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin', I hear it shatter
Maybe it's rainin', faster and faster
Shadow dancin', together oh I
I'm bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at me
and I'm feeling proud
When the lady smiles, she holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles, I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact, I don't resist at all
‘cos we're walkin' on clouds and she is leadin'
Oh no, oh no, oh nooooo......
(solo on the leadguitar by George)
From the Album:
* Bloody buccaneers
She's got the touch of an angel
She's got hypnotizing eyes
No sign of badness
No evidence of lies
Sometimes it feels like I'm floating on cloud nine
Like changes in the weather
She flies on different feathers
Sometimes it feels like feels like I'm slowly dying
She's got the looks of a lady
But she's lethal like a knife
She performs to perfection
And brings you back to life
She puts magic in her power
She puts heat into your blood
But somehow I can't handle it
And wonder what to do
I can dream on forever
But I want a love that's true
But somehow she has a hold on me
With a grip so tight
And I recognize the feeling
And I know... and I know that's why
There's no remedy
When love turns to pain
And I know she's got me
And man, it hurts
But the pain is sweet
You can believe my words
And my mind goes blind
And I don't give a damn
Now you think I'm crazy
So what if I am?
Yesterday I stared into the dark horizon
Now I burned my skin to your fire
It's just the kind of light I desire
Baby I can cherish all your treasures now
Your love tells me how
She's got the looks of a lady
But she's lethal like a knife
She performs to perfection
And brings you back to life
She puts magic in her power
She puts heat into your blood
But somehow I can't handle it
And wonder what to do
I can dream on forever
But I want a love that's true
But somehow she has a hold on me
With a grip so tight
And I recognize the feeling
And I know... and I know that's why
There's no remedy
When love turns to pain
From the Albums:
* No promises no debts
* 2nd Live
* The naked truth
The sooner it will be the better
Gonna have to see her right away
It's been a long time since the day I met her
I can't handle being without her one more day
Gonna get the feeling that I'm going insane
Feel so stupid using these old cliches
You better hurry up Baby, I ain't lying
We're down to nothing but a waste of time
Still remember everything she said
Make no promises, make no debts
All I want is your one day weekend love
She nips her wine without a flinching
She's in control of it all the way
Looks so good, pretending that she's listening
By the time I fall asleep, she's gone away
She's got no mercy on a jealous heart
And she said it all right from the start
Make no problems, make no debts
But I love that lady, I got to confess
Chorus:
I want more than just a one day weekend love
I want more than just a one day weekend love
All she wants is just my one day weekend love
The sooner it will be the better
Gonna have to see her right away
It's been a week now since she's been around here
I can't handle being without her one more day
Honey, get the feeling that I'm going insane
Feel so stupid using these old cliches
She's got no mercy on a jealous heart
And she said it all right from the start
Make no promises, make no debts
But I love that lady, I got to confess
From the Album:
* Keeper of the flame
I believe that all around, we're all waiting for a sound
that will break the barriers down, and will make us all feel better
After all the madness' gone, after all I feel it's coming
There's a slogan on the wall, like a finger on a trigger
There's a truth behind it all, I believe it's getting bigger
But it's all up to you, and it's all up to me, yeah, it's all up to me
Your sweettalking babe, won't turn the world around
Meet me underground, turn the world around
Climb a mountain yeah, cry me an ocean too
Turn the world around, turn the world around
There's no problem babe, you're right, I'm wrong
Let's strike a bargain, ‘cause together we're strong
All your sense, all your love
Can't stop the fire from above
Don't you know?, when I go, you're gonna go too
Let's turn the world around
Darlin' daughter, I've been told, gettin' younger, turnin' old
Hides a moment, caught in time, in a mirror, that's gone blind
I can see inside my minds'eye, we may get the future right
There's a slogan on the wall, like a finger on a trigger
There's a truth behind it all, everyday it's getting bigger
But it's all up to you, and it's all up to me
Don't say impossible, when it's possible
We're responsible, let's turn the world around
Only one light to follow, only one dream to share
Let's strike a bargain, it's gonna get us there
All your sense.............all your love........
I send my bird to a golden cage
Where it can sing it's song of love, love
It takes along the golden key
Than you unlock the door of love
Then think of me, then think of me
Cause I send you this golden key
When you accept this little gift
Remember please the song of love
And when you're ready
Then show it now
That you're in love
Then think of me, then think of me
Cause I send you this golden key
Together we live together we love
Together we live together we love
Together we live together we love
Together we live together we love
If I could go back a hundred years or more
Back to the ages I adore
I put myself on a sailing boat
Sailing the seas, carrying my load
Put into ports of every new found land
The crew drops the anchor on my command
down the boats, and we go ashore
But too bad, I know this can't happen anymore
Time is a book, a book of glory
and in a book of stories
you can't turn the page back anymore
If I could go back a hundred years or more
Back to the ages I adore
I'd become an inventor to discover new things
I'd find out flying with my own wings
I'd find out light and the electric train
and I'd find out how to make it rain
Yes, I should find out all those things
Although sometimes I was wrong
From the Album:
* The hole
Down in the latin quarter
Down on dead - end street
Down in the basement brother
That's where I'm bound to be
Trading payday weekly
For a welfare check
My baby's cryin' crazy
Ain't seen nothing yet
Own a cardboard shelter
With a classic view on Rio
Sellin' cigarettes to the tourists down below
Girl's a sixteen year old carnival queen
Too poor to strike a match
If you know what I mean
If you know what I mean
But they dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh - they can't do without it
They dance it's such an old tradition
That your soul belongs
Your soul belongs to music
They dance
Not too far from the ghetto
Life has a different feel
Food has a different flavour
Boot tap a different beat
Doberman's will be watchin'
Your every single move
You know you can't trust a stranger
Baby, oh ain't that the truth
Ain't that the truth now
They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh - they can't do without it
They dance it's such an old tradition
That your soul belongs
Your soul belongs to music
They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh - they can't do without it
They dance it's such an old tradition
Their souls belongs
Their soul belongs to music
That's why they dance!
They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh - they can't live without it
but they dance it's such an old tradition
Their your soul belongs
Their soul belongs to music
That's why you dance!
From the Album:
* Face it
C'mon baby write me a letter
Shut out the night
Write me a song - this wheel of fortune
We spin together - am I right, am I wrong?
I'm tired - tired of believin'
You don't care - you don't care ...
Come on woman - come on girl
Maybe it's time to weave your spell
And I know - the unforgettable dreamline
You say it better than you know
I know the unforgettable dreamtime
You blew me feathers on the dance floor
You look amazin' in the night
Sure makes me horny
The way we whisper lies in the storm
I'm nothin' but a beggar for your love
I couldn't care less - you couldn't care less
We're gettin' careless about the time -
Let's go crazy in the night
Sure makes me horny
Let's go chase another rainbow
Cause we're runnin' out of time -
This night is unforgettable
The unforgettable dream
Let's go chase another rainbow -
Before we forget ....
(G.Kooymans/B.Hay/F.Carillo)
The Thief is in the parking lot
The thief is at your door
The thief, he leaves the broken glass
While you been scrapin' dollars
Just to pay high rent
He comes a-prowlin' in the dead of night
La la la la la la la la la la
The thief is in without a knock
The thief is on the stairs
Guess who's here to ruin your life
He just come and go without leavin' fingerprints
And never say goodbye
La la la la la la la la la la
Take what's mine - everything I live for
Take your time - all that you desire
Take what's mine, but you can't have my soul
So all you pretty girls
And all you handsome boys
Hold on to your heart
When you hear suspicious noise yeah
La la la la la la la la la la
Take what's mine - nothin' left to live for
Take what's mine - sneakin' out the window
Take what's mine, Take your time
Take what's mine - everything I paid for
Take your time - leave me on the sidewalk
Take what's mine, Take your time
Take what's mine - anything worth stealing
Take your time - you can hurt my feelings
Take what's mine, take what's mine
But you can't have my soul
* Radar love
For you I say our praise is sung
Tell the collar on the sky
A new rose in the universe
Sing a lullaby
More... ...out of dirt
So close to me
He robbed me of my strangerhood
And flew away to be free
The song's over
The song's over now
Assuming our sad goodbye
The song's over the tune stays in my mind
Baby, baby sing it one more time
Close to my ear
Mellow toned vibrations come
Sadness disappears
Do it to me once again
Before you say goodbye
Embrace me softly with your smile
The song's over
The singer said goodbye
The song's over
It's Doomsday on my mind
I close my eyes and sail away
The juke-box played your song today
Tomorrow has been like your yesterday
I can't forget what you used to say
Open your eyes and live my love!
You see it's not me you're dreaming of
Though it seems so important now
Singing makes it all seem so good somehow
The song's over
From the Album:
* Seven tears
I'm sitting down here and I'm feeling annoyed
All those months and fun and joy
But all there's left is sorrow and pain
Where have you gone I'm going insane
refrein:
And the road swallows her name
And the memory still remains
Saying love is a wonderful thing
It can't fly on a broken wing
And the road swallows her name
And the memory still remains
Saying love is a wonderful thing
It can't fly on a broken wing
It's the heartaches baby hitting again
I ain't wearing no mask to prove I'm a man
Blind folded morning day begins
Still thinking about you baby and your brown velvet skin.
refrein:
And the road swallows her name
And the memory still remains
Saying love is a wonderful thing
It can't fly on a broken wing
And the road swallows her name
And the memory still remains
Saying love is a wonderful thing
It can't fly on a broken wing
I'm sitting down here and I'm feeling annoyed
All those months and fun and joy
But all there's left is sorrow and pain
Where have you gone I'm going insane
refrein:
And the road swallows her name
And the memory still remains
Saying love is a wonderful thing
It can't fly on a broken wing
And the road swallows her name
And the memory still remains
Saying love is a wonderful thing
It can't fly on a broken wing
Used to be a young gull , out on the hard streets
Gettin' high on crystal, drinking scotch and smoking weed
Daddy's wish used to be nothing less than my command
Took a switch to my back, nailed me to a cross, both hands
Mamma couldn't give me, the thing a young boy needs
Instead of Mamma suffering, she was smart enough to leave
Spend my life fighting, trying to stay free
from trials and tribulations and the state penitentiary
Hustled pool, really looking cool
just making both ends meet
Until that day I saw you walking
down Blue Angel street
The sweetest lies are lily white
coming from your lips
You brush away all my pain
with a lazy finger tip
It moves my heart just watching, the way you walk so smooth
You save me from an evil fate, you steal away my blues
Lyin' here in your arms, I don't need more proof
Lyin' here safe and warm, it's just the naked truth
This man loves you, this man loves you
This man loves you, this man loves you
That's the naked truth
It's the naked truth
Going down that graveyard spiral, there was nothing I could do
Life treatin' me much harder, than a mean old corkscrew
Lyin' here in your arms, I don't need more proof
Lyin' here safe and warm, it's just the naked truth
This man loves you, this man loves you
this man loves you, this man loves you...

Turn on your lights Las Vegas
Light up the desert sky
There's no one waiting for me
At the Last Frontier Hotel
At the Last Frontier Hotel
I'm feeling tired and hungry
And I'm weary to the bone
Rode ten thousand miles to get here
To justify my soul
To justify my soul
One last drink and one more smoke
And a one way ticket to the end of the show
Na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na
Coming back to you Sin City
I heard your devil call
I'll kill my past to stay here
Carve my name on your wall
I'll carve my name on your wall
I'm feeling tired and hungry
I can see the curtain fall
Rode ten thousand miles to get here
To justify my soul
To justify my soul
One last drink and one more smoke
And a one way ticket to the end of the show
Na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na

From the Albums:
* Paradise in distress
* Last blast of the century
He was young when I first saw
(maybe) 19 or so
And I knew he would go places
He'd never dreamt he'd go
There was a certain something
Impossible to hide
Dynamite in both his hands
It swept ‘em all aside
So they nicknamed hem the killer
And he lived up to the name
The guys that tried to fight him
Never came out quite the same
And man, the crowd just loved him
In those up and coming days
Carried him on their shoulders
While they showered him with
praise
Well, they loved him like a brother
Cause he gave ‘em all the thrills
Carin' shit about no sef-defense
Only going for the kill
He took a beating now and then
But stood there young and tough
Never thought of backin' up
When the going got too rough
He came down like a shockwave
The title easily won
He just tore in there man, punching
Taking two and landing one
But that avalanche of punches
Eventually took it's toll
Like a constant drip of water
Wears down the hardest stone
And we all saw it comin'
The inevitable fall
The night he lost his title
And the title wasn't all
He just started slippin'
Down skids slicker than grease
His drawing power faded
And the hero-worship ceased
But he couldn't stop the fighting
Custom-made for the trade
While he blew away the money
On friends succes had made
I saw him fight again last night
I wish I had been spared
The sight of that poor old wreck
For whom nobody no longer cared
His eyes had lost their sparkle
His legs hado lost their spring
And it really was pathetic
The way he stumbled through the ring
While an upstart punched him dizzy
Punched him silly bell to bell
The lust mad hungry wolfpack
Rode him to a far-ye-well
Here's the same punks
Who once worshipped
His shrine when he was king
Callin' him a coward
And he was groping ‘round the ring
But he didn't seem to notice
I thought he'll fight until he's dead
He'll stay in there and take it
And keep the wolf-pack fed
He gave ‘em his youth and all his power
Now they were tearin' him apart
My eyes grew dim and misty with tears
For that brave and gallant heart
Man if only I could have my way
I'd know exactly what to do
I'd pitch ‘em right in there with him
One by one and two by two
I'd see him bash their empty heads
Egg-like broken shells
I'd jump up on my chair and yell
For blood while down they fell
I'd see ‘em beg for mercy
Groaning in the night
What's wrong, you guys can't you take it?
Come on you scum and fight!
From the Albums:
* Cut
* Naked II
* Last blast of the century
All set, court's in session
This judge's got no compassion
Witness, show me your right hand
I swear, nothing but the truth now
I was allright till she came along
I was allright, then it all went wrong
The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh ,oh
It was an act of a man possessed
The devil made me do it
Your honour, I'm innocent
D.A's, got a mighty strong case
Lawman, saw the whole thing
Confess, yeah I stole that furcoat
Confess, yeah I stole a BMW
Confess, I was only trying
to keep my baby satisfied
Bullshit, that's the truth now
Bullshit, so help me God
You should have seen her slide
out of her neglige
Het skin was hot touch intoxicating
and if you were me
you would have done the same
So spare me the gutter
Save me from the ball and chain
She left me behind
But in my mind
I hear the word
She said to me
I wonder why
It had to be that day
She said she loves me
And that was easy to see
But why did she run away
I pray that she’ll come back
And stay one day
Now I’m walking slowly
Matter on my way
It seems she was lonely
I have no words to say
Where has she gone
Where has she gone
No heart was ever been hurt
Like mine that day
From the Album:
* Grab it for a second
I really like to go ahead and inviting you
Spill us some booze like a nowhere saloon
You know I like you let's drown our regrets
Pass me another of our full packet
Filled with cigarettes
Later on when the shades are gone
Ask you a question
Do I wanna stay psycho no matter
If I live or die. It sure is temptin'
I really like to schedule
Ask you to join me on a midnight cruise
Then I would like you
To relax for a second
About the life of a fairy, silvery moon
Later on when the shades are gone
I'm gonna ask you a question
Do I wanna stay psycho no matter
If I live or die
It sure is temptin'
Temptin', temptin' yes I know
Temptin', temptin' yes I know
Temptin', yes I know
I'm sure it is, I'm sure it is
I'm sure it is right
I think I could resituate
Expect more than I wanted to
Now that I got you in this perfect mood
Makin' love with you
A place in our beds
Pass me another
Of those full packet
Filled with cigarettes
Later on when the shades are gone
I'm gonna ask you a question
Do I wanna stay psycho
No matter if I live or die
It sure is temptin'
Temptin', temptin' yes I know
Temptin', yes I know
Temptin', temptin' yes I knowI'm sure it is
I'm sure it is, I'm sure it is right
From the Album:
* Winter harvest
Tears and lies
Show me your land
Of hope and dreams
When she cries
I know it's not
The way it seems
I can go on
When I came home
Everything looked
The same old way
She was alone
Asked me again to stay
I can go on
People they said things I didn't believe
I love her, I love her so I couldn't leave
From her side
If she could only
Tell me the truth
There will be harm
I have to loose her anyway
Tears and lies
Show me your land of hope and dreams
When she cries
I know it's not the way it seems
I can go on
From the Albums:
* Paradise in distress
* Last blast of the century
Why am I tonight - feelin' so low
My poor head is spinnin'
Round and round and round
Could it be that
By a total lack of love
In fact I'm busy - dyin'
Tell me where or when
Tell me now I'll go
Am I invited to your dreams
I'd like to know
Why I tremble and talk in my sleep
Maybe only time
Will take away the pain
Take my hand
Close my eyes
Lead me back into your paradise
I ain't wakin' up
I'm too tired you know
Like a drifter
By the side of a dusty road
What if you found me
In the middle of the night
Would it matter
I'm down and out allright
I'm braindead
I'm invisible
I am drownin'
In a river called 'Vertigo'
And the moonlight
Such a sad sight
Now that love
Ain't comin' 'round no more!

My knickers in a twist, and my head's on the block
That's what you give me with your mental rock
Now I'm wondering, how our thing will end
If you're so stubborn, and refuse to bend
People around us just stand and mock
Trying to do the mental rock
Well I ain't as sweet as my mother says
I've played these games, you lay on heads
Suzy loony, you're the cream of the crop
From the Album:
* Contraband
Sueleen, tell me a secret Sueleen
You shouldn't be hidin' things away from me
Don't you know I'm king jealousy
& I can't forget the snapshots I've seen
Well the next time 'round, I'm gonna chain you down
I've had enough weekends of vacant double-beds
You better tell that mother, don't push the kid no further
One day, when you're swimmin' in the moonlight
With your beau in the Gulf of Mexico
I'll come ridin' in on the surf
& I think I'm gonna teach that pervert...
refrein:
Sue me, sue me, Sueleen on me...
Baby I love you like no other
Sue me, sue me, Sueleen on me...
You always did it better
Sue me, sue me, Sueleen on me...
Don't wanna talk to no lawyer
Sue me, sue me, Sueleen on me...
Whatever they say, please don't bother
Don't scream d.i.v.o.r.c.e. Sueleen
I must have been momentarily insane
The night I raised my cane Sueleen
Little darlin' born to be driftin'
You're my livin' proof; but you're on the move
Don't you understand - that I had my revenge
The night I got that rocker
I knew I'd risk the locker & pay
For your swimmin' in the moonlight
With a beau in the Gulf of Mexico
I'm here on the floor; wondrin' who the hell
I did it for!
refrein:
Sue me, sue me, Sueleen on me...
Baby I love you like no other
Sue me, sue me, Sueleen on me...
You always did it better
Sue me, sue me, Sueleen on me...
Don't wanna talk to no doctor
Sue me, sue me, Sueleen on me...
How about glueing it back together?
How about glueing it back together Sueleen?
I don’t care if you need more lovin’
More than I can give you everyday
I don’t mind if you sleep all over town
If you only care for me, than I don’t have to say
Stand by me (4x)
I don’t mind if you need more money
Go out with friends and dance all night
And give your body when you’re stoned and waisted
When you’re with me, I want you on my side
Stand by me (4x)
I don’t care if you drive my car
and go ridin’ with some rock ‘n roll star
You wanna make love and you tell him you’re free
But when we’re together, please stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me,.................
Time's fine
Six o'clock and go
Now I feel alone and lucky
Get my car and drive into the fields
Where I have to work to get my money
Listen, listen oh listen
It's the sound of the screaming day
Who asks to live with you and me in any way
Sun is going up
I feel the beams on my head
The birds are whistling good morning
Near and far
You can hear the sound
The sound of a working journey man
Listen, listen oh listen
It's the sound of the screaming day
Who asks to live with you and me in any way
Listen to the sound of the screaming day
Listen to the sound of the screaming day
There's a man who loves his wife
And there's a boy who uses his knife
There's a girl who milks a cow
They have to life this any how
From the Album:
* Something heavy going down
On the streets that go by number
Still can't figure out how to get home
There is no life lines only dead lines
Sure picked a fine time to be born
First you taste it then you're wasted
By the time you're almost 16 years old
Everything used to be so simple
Like the beating of a heart
Dedicated to my little darling
Right until the day we'd part
There's fist on the door
I can hear it knocking
Gotta check it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
There's something heavy going down
And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
Something heavy going down
On a midnight operation when the searchlights, make your skin crawl
My reaction to the action is
I don't wanna be doing this at all
Breaking rules that are made in schools
That teach you how to be successful
Used to be so simple
Like the beating of a heart
Dedicated to my little darling
Right until the day we'd part
There's fist on the door
I can hear it knocking
Gotta check it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Refrain: ...
And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
There's something going down, something heavy going down
There's more to it than a rocket and a bomb
There's something going down, something heavy going down
And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
There's something going down down down down yeah
Something going down
From the Single:
* This wheel’s on fire
So you want to be a rock and roll star?
Then listen now to what I say.
Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time
And learn how to play.
And with your hair swung right,
And your pants too tight
It's gonna be all right.
Then it's time to go downtown
Where the agent man won't let you down.
Sell your soul to the company
Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware.
And in a week or two
If you make the charts
The girls'll tear you apart.
The price you paid for your riches and fame,
Was it all a strange game?
You're a little insane.
The money, the fame, and the public acclaim,
Don't forget who you are,
You're a rock and roll star.
La la la....
I See your hair is burning
Hills are filled with fire.
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar.
Drivin down your freeway
Midnight alleys roam.
Cops in cars the topless bars, never saw a woman
So alone, so alone (3x)
The price you paid for your riches and fame,
Was it all a strange game?
You're a little insane.
The money, the fame, and the public acclaim,
Don't forget who you are,
You're a rock and roll star.
La la la....
From the Album:
* 2nd Live
Well, come on pretty baby, won't you walk with me?
Come on, pretty baby, won't you talk with me?
Come on pretty baby, give me one more chance.
Try to save our romance!
Slow down, baby, now you're movin' way too fast.
You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin',
Ow! if you want our love to last.
Well, I used to walk you home, baby, after school,
Carry your books home, too.
But now you got a boyfriend down the street,
Baby what you're tryin' to do?
You better slow down!
Baby, now you're movin' way too fast.
You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin',
Ow! if you want our love to last.
Well you know that I love you, tell the world I do.
Come on, pretty baby, why can't you be true?
I need your baby, oh so bad,
The best little woman I ever had
(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)
Can't tell the top from the bottom
All your bad vibes I got 'm
I'm workin' like a dog
Just can't get ahead, no no
Well, all I drink is water
And all I eat is bread
Workin' like a dog, but I just can't get ahead
I gotta room with a view made out of bricks
I'm a pushover for all your pricks and dicks
I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell
My friends I double-cross 'm
Live and die forgotten
I'm sleeping like a log
Sweating in my bed y'all
And all I drink is water
And all I eat is bread
Workin' like a dog, I just can't get ahead
I gotta room with a view made out of bricks
I'm a pushover for all your pricks and dicks
I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
Skyscraper hell, skyscraper hell
Skyscraper hell, skyscraper hell of a town
I'm going up, I'm going down
Skyscraper hell of a town
From the Album:
* No promises no debts
She just found out what it's all about
She don't wanna be another face in the crowd
Gets on her feet
Starts walkin' out
Looks like she's got herself some sense of direction now
All the birds in the sky sing in harmony
Sound-track to the title-roll of a success movie
Featuring little miss make believe
Everybody wants her nobody gets her
It's part of the scheme
There's a shade of doubt – she's sellin' out
I'm glad that she proved the fact
There's still some a that balls around
I'm on the couch
She's on TV
Can't help thinkin' that she's laughin' right back at me
Listen all listen here comes my favorite line
I'll do anything just to save that career of mine
All right I don't know what she's doin'
Her feet ‘re gettin' too big for her shoes
But it sure beats the eight o'clock news
Gotta admit it yeah yeah
You just found out what it's all about
You don't wanna be another face in the crowd
Get on your feet
Start walkin' out
Looks like you got yourself some sense of direction now
Beyond a shade of doubt
You're sellin' out
I'm glad that you prove the fact
There's still some a that balls around
Listen all listen there's a favorite lie
I'll do anything just to boost that career of mine
First you sit in your room and you're thinking
And you find out the ceiling isn't high
Then you jump out your window and you're falling
And you find out the floor was not the sky
Then you think it's not possible to walk on
But you feel that your feet are doing well
Remember my friend, it is not the end
When you think that it's done, that your love has gone
You're alone my friend, but that's not the end
When you think that you're done, life has begun
The last time you saw her, she was crying
You saw it and you knew in your heart
That the next day your mind would think of dying
Those tears would be the cue for you to part
Then you think it's not possible to walk on
But you feel that your feet are doing well
Another hour past midnight
Moonshine through the skylight
The bottle's empty and my mind is full
Of your ghost that keeps hauntin' this room
And I could spend all my life
Just sittin' here paralyzed
And I could spend all my life
Waitin' for you to materialize
Love was the only thing
I always felt for you
Bigger than anything
Baby I die for you
Hold me cause I think I'm falling
Like rain on a Monday morning
And when it rains I'm pourin'
My heart out again
I can't remember, I can't forget
I can't see 'cause my eyes are wet
The bottle's empty and it says: you fool
How many tears do I spill for you?
I could spend all my life
Just sittin' here paralyzed
I could spend all my life
For the first time you are falling
no one hears you calling
no more time for your self-apologies
for the first time you're feeling the burning scar
and you're bleeding
have you gone too far to raise your head?
You hit the ground
there's no way out
you're asking questions
(asking why)
losing direction
so tell me how it feels
(how it feels, how it is,
keep on telling me about it)
are you paralyzed?
So tell me how you feel
time to open up your mind!
I am so sorry you are hurting
hate to see you crawling
maybe you'll be better off this way
can't you see you were mistaken
the thin ice kept on breaking
maybe you will understand one day
So tell me motherfucker, tell me how it feels
it's hard to be a sucker, time for getting real
so tell me how does it feel?
When Jorma the witch raised her hand
You could hear her awful laughing
Stirring in a boiling jar
While the raven was almost starving
Then she went into the fields
And she went into the marsh
With a satchel on her back
To find the bats and to find the herbs
While the raven was sitting on her neck
Pam Pam Poope Poope Loux
Satisfied, but in her mind she was screaming
About the best trick
Ever done by a witch
And it was steaming
But then came the night of the full moon
She challenged S.W. Johanna
S.W. Johanna accepted the challenge
And said I'll show you what I can, yeah
Many days they fought one another
You know what she went through
With a smiling face Jorma returned, whispering
From the Album:
* Keeper of the flame
There's a heartache, come over me
Can't be imagination
I worry & I cry for you
Guess I'll have to learn to live with it
A heartache hauntin' me
Feels like electrocution
I'm hurt, you never understood
One word - one word
Who are you, sittin' on your throne?
I used to be a slave in your temple
Now you tell me that you're so alone
On the run for your life
refrein:
One look through the eyes of a stranger
One night in the arms of a fool
One glance down the shaft of a goldmine
Nothin' could be better
Nothin' could be better
Do now, do now what you wanna do
Tell a lie now, tell the truth
There's gotta be more than a thousand roads to Rome
So follow your footsteps home
One word, makes all a difference in the world
One is being born
Two is what you're going for
Three is the price you pay
For what you've been lookin' for
And the word is love. Love!
refrein:
One look through the eyes of a stranger
One night in the arms of a fool
One glance down the shaft of a goldmine
Nothin' could be better
Nothin' could be better
Do now, do now what you wanna do
Tell a lie now, tell the truth
There's gotta be more than a thousand roads to Rome
So follow your footsteps home
One word, makes all a difference in the world
Make one hell of a difference in the world
One word, one single word
(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)
You know the first time I saw the X-Files
I was stoned as usual
Here comes Scully walking in
Zappin' through the Cartwrights
Fox Mulder went and lost his gun
He keeps holding on to the flashlight
Shining bright on lost memories
Scully, I can't forget your sweet sixteen
I'm not an alien
I fear it's not a dream
I wish you'd recognize the voice
That sang your favourite song
At Kansas City Airport
Got the jukebox on wheels, hello
There's a Talkin' Head silently
Tappin' on my shoulder
I'm standing there I'm stunned
Flying high as a kite
My hero he turns out to be
Just an ordinary guy
Lickin' on a lollypop
Looking insecure
One look in his eyes and I knew for sure
I might never come this close, to a rising star
I may be crazy, but he killed me with that song
And oh, on a night like you [3x]
When memories explode....
Faster, faster
It's pure delight
Flashing past and blinding my eyes
Memories you've been trying to blow away
Keep on coming back again
The band is in the basement
It's Saturday night
In Richmond, VA after a gig with The Pie
Seeing it all through the clouds of my birthday surprise
Delicious Donna decides to write a new episode
I remember being introduced
Stevie's face was small
He just kept me reeling
Man, we were laughing at the dark
Getting ready to march all the way back home to Mars
One last fuel stop at Itchycoo Park
And oh, on a night like you [3x]
When memories tend to explode
From the Album:
* Just Earrings
Nobody but you
Nobody but you
Nobody but you
You are the one I'm always thinking of
What can I do
You treat me cruel
Why don't you come and try to
When I looked at you
The night we met
I could have known
You were so sad
But now I see
Oh yeah I see
He is the one who keeps my love away
That's all
I'm telling you
Girl if you wait
You'll be as lonely as can be
But if you go
My love is strong
You forget him
And be glad
Nobody but you
Nobody but you
Nobody but you
You are the one I'm always thinking of
Nobody but you
Nobody but you
Nobody but you
I sit here and I'm drinking
Drinking away her name
But God knows if it will help
Until now she still remains
And every glass and every hour
Deeper I will sink
So wondering if it will help
Come on buddy, buy me a drink
Think about my baby, think about her right now
Come on give me the bottle, the bill don't talk about it now
Think about my baby, I think about her right now
The moment I knew she was living, I had to get her anyhow
My baby Ruby, she's groovy
And every time I call her name
She looks at the sky, for me no eye, oh yeah
From the Single:
* Miles away from nowhere
Thunderin' the wheels, pounding on the road
Thinking about the cargo and my precious load
I'm just a homesick-wreck, lit up by the dashboardlight
About a million miles away, no matter how hard I try.
You'll always keep staying on my mind
You'll always keep playing with my mind
Miles away from nowhere, miles away from nowhere
A million miles from anywhere everywhere somewhere,
miles away from nowhere.
Where'm I supposed to go, when I get there I let you know'.
You'll always keep....
You'll always keep....
Here she comes across the river
Guess it's time to deliver
No one that can stop these tires
Ten thousand horse power
Miles away.......
From the Albums:
* Bloody buccaneers
* Last blast of the century
I could be six feet under
I could be stone dead cold
Hangin' from the highest tree
Would you read my suicide note?
I'm hungry for affection
Howlin' at the moon
Can't you get it inside your head
All I want is you
All you're thinking of
is making love to yourself
And I wonder if there's any room
For somebody else
Come on
Don't make me wait too long
Sometimes you know
I hate being on my own
Try to give me one more chance
Because I wanna be a man
And when you call me up
I'll be home
Train roll into the station
In the middle of the night
Me and my suitcase waiting
But you're nowhere near in sight
Heartache's such a bummer
Knock-knockin' on my door
Feeling sorry for myself
I just can't take it no more
Why don't you read my thoughts
Before I drown in tears
I'm thinkin' bout nothing
Nothin' else but you and me
G.Kooymans/B.Hay)
Love is a loser when lust takes over
When lust takes over and comes around
I'm just a target of fixation
Of fascination unbound
I forget everything I ever learned
Between the sheets I'm sinning God
A true believer
Instead of jacking off
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
For one more blow job
Love is a loser when lust walks in
When lust walks in through the door
And leaves it's clothes in the corner
Casually on the floor
I forget everything I ever learned
To the sheets I'm sinning God
A true believer
Instead of jacking off
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
And never never make it stop
I forget everything I ever learned
Between the sheets I'm sinning God
A true believer
Instead of jacking off
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
For one more blow job
From the Album:
* Cut
I am not an object
Somethin' you throw away
I am no piece of junk
That's been left on a stationary train
I want you to get a message
To the one that's gonna set me free
Tell her to hurry - tell her to recognize me
'Cause I'm beginning to believe
That forever I'll live on a shelf
Of the lost & found
Between a cane and an umbrella
A wallet and a chain of keys
My dreams are full of you
And my nights without you are empty
I'm going under - going under
Had a name - had a number
Went and lost it all instead
Now I'm beginning to believe
That I'll never get to leave this place
They called lost & found
Yeah I'm beginning to believe
That forever I'll be another case
Of the lost & found
I am not an object
A person you throw away
Some piece of junk
That's been left on a stationary train
I want you to get a message
To the one that's gonna set me free
Tell her to hurry - tell her to identify me
Yeah I'm beginning to believe
That forever I'll be another case
Of the lost & found
From the Album:
* To the hilt
Latin lightning strikes again
Wilder than a hurricane
He's counting on the dollars of you wealthy mothers
Look at that gigolo go
He's a devil – no pity – no shame
I'm gonna get his picture framed
When he takes the stage it's frightning
Latin lightnin'
Spinnin' a cyclone man alive – and – a – kicking
High heel machine gun rap arriba!
Faster, faster –
You'll be in a daze all night just watchin'
(Watch out for) Latin lightnin'
When Latin lightnin' falls in love
Everybody knows what he's dreamin' of
Casino's – chateaus – Havana cigars
Private jets and flashy cars
He's ruthless – the ladies claim
I'm – a – gonna get his picture framed
From the Album:
* Switch
Remember that song called "Kill me"
From Vick Timm's last LP
Too much of a risk for a golden disc
The price he paid for money
Refrain:
Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star
Sing your song, you can't go wrong
Attempted his business adviser
No need for alarm, you'll come to no harm
He didn't mention the sniper
The news is read, the poison's spread
One yawn ah, two yawn ah, and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
Come on, maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie
Vick played the part, with all his heart
He was not prepared for the shock
When howling lead, bit into his head
A new martyr for the book of rock
(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)
Kingfisher's eyes shine as black as coal
On the edge of the morning
Gaze at me from across the room
The candle light....dying
Music it sounds like a waterfall
Makes you feel like you're drowning
Kingfisher's eyes, you're like black pearl
SWatchin' the ghosts, surround me
Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!
The Candy Man's at the door again
Ringing the bell, I won't let him in
There's a storm a-raging inside my brain
Playing tricks with me in the dark
Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard
Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!
The Vagabond outside he knows
The medicine don't work no more
The hurricane inside my head
Is nailing me to the floor
Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard
Picking up the pieces now
Wipe the sweat from off my brow
By the cool light of the moon
Chase the ghosts out from my room
By the cool light of the moon
Kingfisher between me and you [2x]
Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!
The Candy Man's at the door again
Ringing the bell, I won't let him in
There's a storm a-raging inside my brain
Playing tricks with me in the dark
Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard
Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!

* On the double
* The Complete Naked Truth
The rainbow hides no treasure, oh believe me it's not true
and there ain't no mixture, that will give you back your youth
No mystic machine that makes the sand turn to gold
Like there ain't no magic word, that holds you back from getting old
I catch a branche and I break it in my hands
Like you broke my heart, oh I still can't understand
No mysterious mixture, can heal the wound you've made
Only time will bring peace to me, and now I just hate
Oh I'll break up and give it all up
No more lies, no more rainbow treasures
No more fairytales, no more games for me
It's my life, my life, a pleasure
There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part
I catch a branche.....................................
The time rolls by, the days go by
When will I learn to stop wondering why
despairing I'm going down on my knees
I'm begging, begging, begging, oh please

Waitress, more wine
We celebrate, the life and times of Johnny Make Believe
He was the greatest liar, of all mankind
The biggest drunk, you ever saw alive
He was a devil, undisguised
He will be sorely missed tonight
And the next day, will never be the same
Without the beautyful Johnny Make Believe
So let's get high, laugh till we cry
always remember, his last words:
“farewell cruel world, all you pretty girls,
don't send me flowers, hold me in your dreamsâ€
and then the spirit in the bottle
took our Johnny for a ride
Come on waitress, pour us more wine
to drown our grief, for Johnny Make Believe
He tattooed my heart, branded my soul
He said: “Go for true love, not for fool's gold
La, la, la, la
la, la, la, la, la, etc., etc.
On the stroke of ten
I slipped into the van
And hid myself behind some boxes
Waitin' for the driver yeah
The first time I was lucky
For the van took me to Kentucky
The first time too I slept in a railway station
I woke up wondering you're running to nowhere
But at the same time I was here, oh and I didn't care
Oh where am I accompanied by
Good hopes, and believe me I'll get by
Yeah, I'm a runnin', well I'm a runnin'
I'm a runnin' till I can't go on
Till I find where I belong
Yeah I'm a runnin'
Oh I'm a runnin' till I can't go on
Till I find where I belong
So I ramble through the country
And most of the time
Nature doesn't care less about me
And sometimes when I'm alone
I hear my father say: Son you gotta do something
Take that advice from me now
So I drop down to South Carolina
With a little luck and a little sunshine yeah
I say, here I stay, here I pray
For happiness, oh every day
But until now I'm a runnin'
Yeah, I'm a runnin'
I'm runnin' till I can't go on
Till I find where I belong

* Bloody Buccaneers
* Last blast of the century
I believe I'm in a bad mood girl
And I hope it won't last too long
Last time I had a bad mood girl
Everything turned out wrong
I'm living in a bad mood world
The heart's bleeding
Don't it make you cry
Are you list'ning to the sad news, girl
It's about another mixed-up messed-up guy
He's goin' through a bad dream, girl
He's sleepin' with his eyes open wide
He's livin' in a bad mood world
He's livin' and he don't know why
Sometimes I don't know what to do
I just wish I could fly, yeah
I can't give it up 'till I had enough
I wanna see the truth in your eyes
Sometimes I'm tired of livin'
I can't give it up before I live it up
Fall in love for the rest of my life
Sometimes I'm tired of livin'
Sure as hell ain't ready to die
You give my heart such a hard time inside
Like a passenger on a roller-coaster ride
Through the cold moonlight
Just show me where the good time's rolling
Lemme eat a slice of that pie
Show me where they go out moon-beaming
Washing machine, space age dream
Let me serve you, keep me clean
Rinse me plain, spin me sane
I'll trust my dirt to only you
Automobile, see me kneel
I'll scrub your back, I'll buy your meal
I'll choke your start, I'll warm your heart
I'll dream of dying just with you
See me wish from 8
to all day long
(I've) got no time
(I'm) not inclined to hum a song
Just like a robot waiting for a fuse
I'm too crazy to even have the blues
Instant, instant, instant poetry,
too hot, to be continued next week
Instant, instant, instant poetry,
too slow, too slow, to be tongued in cheek
T.V. syndrome, holy custom
Millions squeeze you to their bosom
You're always welcome, drive out boredom
I Sing My Song
G.Kooymans
Through the windy foggy weather
I'll come to you no matter
How long it will take
Then I'll sing you mellow songs
About times, how it was
How we drifted upon our love
Oh I sing my song, on and on
And take you with me
in a dreamy course
I sing my song, on and on
And take you with me
no one can change our course
And you lead softly to faraway
Where seldom a glimpse will play
And then suddenly we'll fling away
There's a burning thing called fire
Makes my heart desire
So I sing my song to you
There's a burning thing called fire
Makes my heart desire
So I sing my song, on and on
So I'll sing you mellow songs
About times, how it was
How we drifted upon our love
We were floating on silver water
To find rainbows, cutting hearts
Oh, in the trees
Oh I sing my song, on and on
And take you with me
in a dreamy course
I sing my song, on and on
And take you with me
no one can change our course
And you lead softly to faraway
Where seldom a glimpse will play
And then suddenly we'll fling away
There's a burning thing called fire
Makes my heart desire
So I sing my song to you
There's a burning thing called fire
Makes my heart desire
So I sing my song, on and on
There's a burning thing called fire
Makes my heart desire
So I sing my song on and on........ to take you with me.. on fire...
There's a burning thing called fire
Makes my heart desire
So I sing my on and on.
* Mad love
Do you ever feel unhappy don't know what you wanna do
Do you do you get slap happy, give and take a few
Oh I never been this lonely, somethin' passed me by
I know what I'm missing, and it makes me cry
Hunting for bounty with a treasure map in my hand
And my secretary says she understands in short hand
Take a note, take a note
Did I really float, in my dreamboat
Is it time to try, before it passes me by
I need love, I need love, I need love
Give it to me
Don't deny me love, I need love, I need love
Lots of it
I wanna o.d. on it
I beg your pardon baby. Maybe you can help me out
Could you move a little closer
We don't have to shout you see I'm a desperate guy
You must've heard it all before
Oh you gotta go,- bye bye - Messin' me up some more
Hunting for bounty with a treasure map in my hand
And my secretary says she understands in short hand
Take a note, take a note
Did I really float in my dreamboat
Is it time to try before it passes me by
I need love, I need love, I need love
Give it to me don't deny me love
I need love, I need love, lots of it
I wanna o.d. on love
I need love, I need love
Let me have it
Let me lay my hands on love
I need love, I need love
Come on... don't deny me love
Everybody's talking about love
I need love
To boil my eggs, to stretch my legs
To scratch my back, before I hit the sack
I need love and with a little bit of luck
Love and not just a quick
- You know what - I need love
So don't forget
I'm always with you
waiting for my day
so think of me
when they believe all my fake illusions
I'll catch them, use them
I can hypnotize
'cause I'm your bad dream
And then I'm going to rule your world
I'll show them my pretty face
I'll just be a perfect muse
my reign
don't you blame the mighty man!
The mistake is in yourself
that's the only why
don't you claim to understand!
Just search within yourself
human being
So don't forget
I'm never too far to lose you out of my mind
think of me!!!
I'll return and when I am back
I will use you, bruise you
it might hurt
'cause I'm your bad dream
What if love was dead
everything would be so cold
no, this is not the way, no!
what if I was bad!!!
In bad times, when it’s dark and cold
You got no place to rest your soul
There’s laughter behind your backs
Then it seems the devil rules the deck
Nothin’ seems easy these days
Or do I see it in a different way
The world is spinnin’, well that’s OK
Tell me baby what’s the price we pay
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Holy holy life, sometimes is sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is phoney
The sooner or later, they’ll find you dead
Why don’t you take me down to a rabbit hole
Where a man of peace can hide his soul
Thinkin’ about pollution and a birth-control
Better talk to the rabbits, it’s somebodies fault
And maybe sometimes I’m pessimistic
and maybe it ain’t so bad, it ain’t so sick
I know I’m not the man of constant sorrow
ant tell me is it the path of evil to follow
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Holy holy life, sometimes is sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is phoney
Or sooner or later, they’ll find you dead
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
sometimes is phoney, sometimes is sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
sometimes is phoney, sometimes is sad, so sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
sometimes is phoney, sometimes is sad, so so sad
Holy, holy, holy
Washing machine
space age dream
Let me serve you
keep me clean
Rinse me plain
spin me sane.
I'll trust my dirt to only you.
Automobile
see me kneel
I'll scrub your back
I'll buy your meal
I'll choke your start
I'll warm your heart.
I'll dream of dying just with you.
See me wish from eight to all day long.
(l've) Got no time
I'm not inclined to hum a song.
Just like a robot
waiting for a fuse
I'm too crazy to even have the blues.
Instant
instant
instant poetry
Too hot to be continued next week.
Instant

Too slow to be tongue in cheek.
T.V. syndrome - holy custom
Millions squeeze you to their bosom.
You're always welcome - drive out boredom
Your one eye's all the art we need.
Instant

instant poetry . . .
The time has gone
But your face baby, is still here on my mind
The tears I cried have filled the rivers,
Lakes, seas, but not the time
I hear your voice through the wind
Whispering tender, sweet sweet as wine
But remember I'm coming to that
Place where your love is still shining
Although my eyes are wet
I still see the lovely moments in the shadow of your name
And so I think of you and remember
The day He put out the flame
I'll come high in the sky
Where your love is blooming
Like a flower on a field
I'll come high in the sky
Where your love is blooming
Pure and real
Yes, the time has gone
And gone for me is the time to spent here on earth
I'll cry my tears knowing that you are waiting for me
Could it be worse
I reach my hand
While you are reaching your hand out for me
From the Album:
* The hole
He reads a book every now & then
Goes to a show every now & then
He's nothing more then he might have been
Nothin' less than an average man
He hates to lose & he loves to win
He always plays it by the rules of the game
There goes the girl he's in love with
She playes a game called hard to get -
Called hard to get -
Oh baby - you're you're so hard to get -
The only thing in the world that I'm after
Prettier than a magazine
I lie awake & I dream of our love
Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready he's ready for a hand to hold
Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready he's ready for a hand to hold
He's ready for a hand to hold
Wise men say the times 're changing
They say it's a sign of the times
How long will you keep me waiting
Could it be I'm the last in line
How long can the armour take it
When it's ready for you to shine
You're the girl that I'm in love with
You're playin' a game called hard to get
Called hard to get
Oh baby baby you're you're hard to get
Hey little girl - queen of fun & laughter
Can't you see me begginn' like a dog
Can't you hear me scratchin' at your door
Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready he's ready for a hand to hold
Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready he's ready ready ready for your hand
Have a heart for the lonely boy
Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready he's ready for a hand to hold
Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready he's ready for a hand to hold

I'm a-runnin' on empty and my good-luck charm
It's like a mojo workin' 'gainst this heart of mine
Just a split second for my heart to know
It wouldn't take long to fall for you
And it hurts like hell
And I know it shows
Taking me down with a single blow
That's what you get when you been hit
By the hammer of love,
Hit, by the hammer of love
Hit, by the hammer of love
The hammer of love, the hammer of love
I'm defying all the laws of gravity
Floating on air and with sympathy
The doctor says you're runnin' outta luck
Cause you've been struck by the hammer of love
And it hurts like hell
And I know it shows
Taking me down with a single blow
That's what you get when you been hit
By the hammer of love
Hit, by the hammer of love
Hit, by the hammer of love
The hammer of love, the hammer of love
Right on the head
Like a ton of bricks
It's like a ringing the bell
Yeah, and you know, you know
That it hurts like hell
And I know it shows
Taking me down with a single blow
You've been hit by the hammer of love
You've been hit by the hammer of love
The hammer of love, the hammer of love
Oh boy watch it, here I am
Want the world to tell I'm coming as loud as I can
Told my boss that my job was free
Well I conquer the world indeed
And that's so fine, I make you all mine
I'm just thinking of today, there's a lot I gotta say
Goodbye mama
Na, na, na, na, na
Goodbye mama, goodbye mama
Don't stop me now
Goodbye mama
All my friends are coming with me now
Exactly doing the same, through thick and thin anyhow
There's really something I want you to do
Before the moving fever gonna get you too
Throw away your act, for really that's a fact
I'm just thinking of today, there's a lot I gotta say
Goodbye mama
Na, na, na, na, na
Goodbye mama, goodbye mama
Don't stop me now
Goodbye mama
Listen my friends what I tell you now
The world is in hands of too old a crowd
So make up your mind before it gets too late
And conquer the world yeah, any day
In the morning dawn
When it's not all clear
All you can hear is the silence
Of a fairy-like noise far away
In the morning dawn
When it's not all clean
All you have seen is the burying
Of a fairy-like bright early day
The Lord will bless this day
And our food
And the weapons of the enemy in the neighbourhood
The Lord will bless the victory
Of every fool
With a gun, thinkin' he can change the rule
God bless the day, God bless the day
God bless the day, God bless the day
Like one says
He will bless
And we will wait
For what he'll create
From the Albums:
* Paradise in distress
* Last blast of the century
The table's smokin'
I got money to burn
Get ready to spin that wheel again
I came to gamble – not to dance tonight
So cut the cards and deal ‘em nice
All or nothing' roll the dice
Son of a gun – there's somethin' goin' on
Yeah, today's my lucky day
Lady luck please come my way
I got money to burn – money to burn tonight
And as the dealer – calls the play
I feel the shiver – comin' over me
Feel it in my fingertips allright
Cards slidin' faster and slicker
Than a hooker's lips in the neon light
I do what I do – I'm a gamblin' man
I gamble on life and I gamble on love
Gamble on luck from above anyway I can
Seven card stud – with a full-house hand
I'm a jackpot maniac, my friend
Tequila shots – one more chance
For the blackjack gamblin' man
The devil bets – he bets on hell
And seven come eleven right
Holdin' eights and aces thight
The gambler bets on heaven tonight
The devil bets – he bets on hell
Goin' in for the kill
Holding eights and aces tight
It's the gambler's bet tonight
From the Album:
* Together
If there's a reason why you leave me
Then I like to hear it now
I'll simply bend my head
I won't cry out loud
I know all this time we spent together
Was not so important to you
You always knew
There would come a time
That I would sing my blues
And now you're playing with me
Like you're playing card
I'm losing before you start
You know every trick
Of every game
You look right through my heart
You're from heaven from hell from heaven
You're from heaven from hell from heaven
You're from heaven from hell from heaven
You're from heaven from hell from heaven
For ever I'm lost in your spell
Ooh and I would be a liar
If I'm telling you
That I don't give a damn
That you don't love me like I do
Oh babe
Babe I'm begging you
I'm begging you down on my knees
Oh please stay some more time
I'd rather be dead than free
Alright you leave me all alone
I see the curtain fall
And while you softly close the door
It's your name I call
Oh you're from heaven from hell from heaven
You're from heaven from hell from heaven
You're from heaven from hell from heaven
You're from heaven from hell from heaven
For ever I'm lost in your spell
From the Albums:
* Paradise in distress
* Last blast of the century
She took my money
She stole my car
Broke my heart
And smashed my guitar
She slandered my name
And laughed in my face
And on Saturday night
She went and trashed the whole place
She's drivin' me crazy
Beyond insane
She plays with my mind
As if it's a game
And most of all stranger than strange
I come beggin'
For more again and again
I can't break away
From the circle of pain
I can't break away
This evil love-chain
She's mean when she's happy
Cruel when she's sad
She finds something good
And she turns it to bad
She's young and goodlooking
And shakes the whole bed
While black magic voodoo
Lives inside her head
The girl is a menace
A danger, a threat
Can't get no worse
She's as bas as it gets
She looks like a princess
But I know instead
She's Dracula's daughter
And the angel of death
From the Album:
* Eight miles high
You're my everyday's torture
You're a burnin' light
When dark times surround me
You're my love, you're my fight
You're my everyday's torture
That's what no one denies
My spirit, my splendour
Did I loose, tell me why
I'm a man, know my destiny
but it seems, love is dead for me
I'm hung up on a woman's resolution
There's nothing left but a dream, an illusion
You're my everyday's torture
That's what no one denies
My spirit, my splendour
Did I loose, tell me why
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
free me, free me, free me
I saw you powerful, I saw you happy
But I only lived for myself
God, I need you so badly
But I expect no help
You're my everyday's torture
the gun at my head
You're my everyday's torture
Eight miles high and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own
Nowhere is there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for its sound
In places small faces unbound
Round the squares huddled in storms
Some laughing some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
Dong dong diki diki dong
and your heart goes dong diki diki dong
You gotta sing it, oh everywhere
In New York City, Memphis, Delaware
We’ll sing it loud, and you’ll be proud
To sing it with me, untill eternity
So you hear this melody
Well sing it along and you’ll feel free
You feel uptight and upsight down
Well sing it along and join me around
Dong dong diki diki dong
and your heart goes dong diki diki dong
You gotta wear, a pair of ugly old jeans
To dance in California, Nashville, New Orleans
You gotta swing and you gotta move me
you gotta make me feel glad
you gotta make me feel groovy
so you hear this melody
Well sing it along and you’ll feel free
You feel uptight and upside down
Well sing it along and join me around
Dong dong diki diki dong
and your heart goes dong diki diki dong
Baby can’t you see
What you’ve been to me
I really don’t understand no no
But you treat anyone yeah
Anyone so bad
But what I want to say
I couldn’t tear myself away
From your love
‘Cause there is no one else
Than the lord above
But I need someone, someone
Who sometimes will make me feel fine
Don’t run too far
Someday you’ll feel sorry
Don’t run too far
There’s no time to hurry
Don’t be foolish
And think before it’s too late
And don’t forget
I’m not the only man you hate
Baby can’t you see
What you’ve been doing to me
I really don’t understand no no
But you treat anyone, yeah
Anyone so bad
The situation
In which I am
I have to miss you anyhow, mmm
But you don’t really make me blue
I’m so in love with you
When only a little baby
I already was rich
Wealthy mother and father
Gave me all I could wish
Precious toys things I just wanted
Crowding the park and the stabely house
Girls were thinking they loved me
Affecting wasn't for sale
The only time I adored one
Thinking love was real fun
Soon it started to show that
Girls just wanted my dough
Gave her rings, daimonds
A minkcoat
Hoping these would make her see
That I'm much more than only money
Affection wasn't for sale
Daddy buy me a girl
Daddy buy me a girl
You can spend all of your money
To make sure she calls me honey
Rich or poor all same crazy about me
From the Album:
* Prisoner of the night
He's got a room at the top and a jag
At the bottom
Looks real pleased inside his boredom
Out on the stretch he's a big time roller
But the dames keep gettin' colder & colder
He thinks inch by inch monopolize
But that little girl overthere
If he's got the guts if he dares
Is gonna cut ‘em down to size
Sheila's gettin' rude and hungry for
The first prize
Sheila's gettin' rude and hungry
Aimin' at the eyes
She's gonna cut ‘em down to size
There's a whole lotta prettiness going around
So don't let one bad break bring you down
I know a guy who swears he won't find another
Girl like the one that dated him for his brother
Now she's waitin' for him to apologize
She just wants to cut him down to size

He split the racket, to operate on his own
He set them up, stripped them then he was gone
He's a Robin Hood of a new century
If you're rich dumb, you bleed, boy
Con man's got a bloodhound nose for flaws
Profits from both sides of the law
I feel sympathy for his philosophy
If you're clever you can beat them all
Sister, tell your mister - to hold on to his change
Hustler, call him hustler - Con man rides again
Bandits, he's the bandits - settin' up a frame
Sister, tell your mister - to hold onto his brains!
Con man's mastermindin' on a brand new heist
Blueprintin' through the secret files
Your tune ain't gonna be so nice
When he gets through with you
There's just one thing left to do...
Cause he'll take it away
One money hungry night
Your longs 're gonna be his guidin' lights
He'll be foolin' us all if we don't watch out
Leavin' his lies - spreadin' doubts all about!
Con man's got a bloodhound nose for flaws
Profits from both sides of the law
I feel sympathy for his philosophy
If you're clever you can beat them all
Sister, tell your mister - to hold on to his change
Hustler, call him hustler - Con man rides again
Bandits, he's the bandits - settin' up a frame
Sister, tell your mister - to hold onto his brains!
Con man's mastermindin' on a brand new heist
Somebody's in for a big surprise
Your wrongs're gonna be his rights
When a pro's at a con - he's the devil's son
Cause he'll take it away, etc.
He's the devil son
Sometimes I think I'm gonna study that game
Be a Con man myself some day
Just one thing botherin' me
I might be conning myself - by the way...
It's a quarter past five, and that's no lie
I'm glad we're all still alive, goodbye now
Look out, he's spreadin' those doubts all about
He's the devil son
(G.Kooymans/B.Hay/F.Carillo)
In the morning when I wake up
I recover from a dream
And beside me is my sweet heart
Still asleep innocently
Turn the tap on
Splash some water
On my cheeks and suddenly
I remember in the mirror
Who I am and where I've been
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in, findin' out
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in and going out
There's a postcard on the doorstep
With a stamp I've never seen
And a stray dog says good morning
To the sunshine I believe
Every minute, every hour
Ever time-out, go between
God keeps trying new inventions
For a bullet on a broken wing
And the Lord knows
It's a smoke screen
Messin' up again
Bless my soul
You're in control now
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in, findin' out
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in and going out
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in, findin' out
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in and going out

Colourblind, risking your life
A brush stroke and a rooftop dive
Eccentric hero in a hookers bed
A dog without a leash, a sirloin fed
Breakable heart, I believe you said
If life's a shadow, gimme a shot in the head
If life's a shadow, gimme a shot in the head
Colourblind, slightly cock-eyed
The world at your feet in the city tonight
Burning like a flame instead of hanging
Like a puppet from a spiders' web
Unbeatable heart, I think you said
If life's a dream, gimme a shot in the head
If life's a dream, gimme a shot in the head
Welcome home baby, the skies are red
The clouds are blue and the streets are wet
Welcome home baby, the drinks are free
Your face is green in the neon-light
Welcome home baby, farewell goodbye
Colourblind, before the paint dries
Saturday night, one more time
Eccentric hero in a hookers bed
A dog without a leash, a sirloin fed
Unbeatable heart, I think you said
If life's a dream, gimme a shot in the head
If life's a dream, gimme a shot in the head
Welcome home baby, the skies are red
The clouds are grey and the streets are wet
Welcome home baby, the drinks are free
Your face is green in the neon-light
Welcome home baby, farewell goodbye
Welcome home baby, the skies are red
The clouds are blue and the streets are wet
Welcome home baby, the drinks are free
Your face is green in the neon-light
Welcome home baby, farewell goodbye

Blue for the blue - I feel when I'm feelin' down
On the ground - feelin' down that could be most anyday
Green for the eyes - take a look around
When the sun goes down - and the sun goes down
In the strangest way -
Red for the light - gotta stop this thing
Find a song to sing that is everything
That I meant to say - meant to say -
Pray for the mice that are blind like the world
Never see the good that is done to the bad
It's too late to see
Two of us make it easier, to read the signs
Memorize the lines - you play with me
One for the road - I'll be on my way
Come another day - when the things we say
Find a way to be - way to be -
Solo:
Autumn calls for a change of year
Bringin' winter near us - greens are brown
And disquise a sign -
Wintertime is a razorblade - that the devil made
It's a price we pay for the summertime
Springdays come it's hard to know
Where the rain comes from - where the children go -

Bombay seems lost in dreams
When the pipes let off steam
In a backroom
Somewhere, anywhere in L.A.
Next payday comes, I'll be gone
By boats and planes, it's pre-arranged
You can't catch me, I'm on my way
Back to Bombay
Bombay
Ain't gonna leave no trace
Gonna wash away my face
In the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle
I'm gonna stay in Bombay
I'm gonna trade my past
For a new life at last
Sit back and have another blast
If I die, Kamasutra's the reason why
Kamasutra I surrender
Candy took pearls, got ahead of the girls
Got on top and found the secret entrance
Are you satisfied?
Through neon doors across killing floors
She got sucked into a champagne desert
Are you satisfied?
Daddy said "I'll break your bones
If you come home dressed in peacock clothes"
Mother said "Quit the show"
She didn't want the neighbors to know
Candy had to quit the show
Well Candy didn't care when she started her affair
With the studs and the mares of the night
Are you satisfied?
Teddy knows the rule of the underground school
He's got Candy wrapped around his fingers
Are you satisfied?
Daddy said "I'll break your bones
If you don't get your tricks off the phone"
Mother said "Quit the show"
She didn't want the neighbors to know

Got a room to let
Candy's going bad
Got a pimp named Ted
Candy's going bad

* Lovesweat
You walk into the room - with your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked and you say: Who's that man
You try so hard but, you don't understand
Just what you'll say when you get home
Because somethin' is happenin' here
But you don't know what it is -
Do you - Mister Jones?
You raise your head - and you ask. Is this where it is?
And somebody points to you and says it's his
And somebody else says Well what is
And you say Oh my God - am I here all alone?
You hand in your ticket - And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you -
When he hears you speak - and says -
Now does it feel to be such a freak
And you say "impossible" as he hands you a bone
Bridqe:
You have many contacts - Among the lumber jacks
To get you facts when someone. Attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you - To all give a check to the tax-deductable
Charity organizations -
Aah - you've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have discussed
Leppers & crooks - you've been through all of their
Scott Fitzgeraid books - you're very well read. It's well known
Well the sword swallower - he comes up to you
And then he kneels - he crosses himself
And he clicks his highheels
And without further notice - he asks you
How it feels - And he says: Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan!
Now you see this one - eyed midget
Shouting the word "Now" - And you say
For what reason - and he says How
And you say: What does this mean
And he screams back - you're a cow
Give me some milk or else go home
Well you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin' around
You should be made to wear earphones
Sometimes you feel when you get hurt
Vibrations all around
It's the same when you're digging in the dirt
And there's nothing to be found
You got a feeling and the feeling gets stronger
That your whole world is falling down
Baby this can't go on much longer
Hide your smile, don't treat me like a hound-dog
Backbiting baby can you hear me
Your days are numbered now
Everybody's breathing more freely
Cause you're backbiting's over now
Backbiting baby can you hear me
Your days are numbered now
Everybody's breathing more freely
And I'll just take a bow
You got a feeling and the feeling gets stronger
This girl must leave the place
And every minute she stays longer
Oh I just can't stand her face
From the Album:
* Golden Earring
How could I tell you that I loved you
You never gave me a chance
How could I know that you put me down
You had no reason, I'm on the ground
How could I know
that you were out of reach
Higher than any star, sparklin' in the blue sky
Why did you make me cry
I couldn't touch you
And I don't know why, I don't know why
You hurt my soul and lettin' me die
I don't know why, It's just another day to die
I sit down and cry
As long as the wind blows
As long as the wind howls
As long as the sea flows
I can't stop lovin' you
From the Album:
* Together
Well in a few more hours, and millions of people
hate their alarm clock, even more than their wives
The day is beginning, you can tell by the sunrise
People get ready for a day in their lives
They're getting together, in the streets of the cities
Like lost computers of a shattered tribe
They're all in a hurry, to be in time
some for promotion, some to stay alive
Yeah, yeah
I'm the all day watcher, that's all I do
I'm the all day watcher, I'm watching you
Well I shake my head and I shake my brain
And I don't understand why they're all the same
I weigh pro's and con's, against their lives and mine
But I don't know, it's beyond my frame of mind
Beyond my frame of mind, yeah
Oeh, in a few more minutes, and millions of people
hear the whistle of freedom, blowing through their head
They push and they hurry and the herd starts moving
they follow the trail back home again
Where they're taking it easy, with a box of beer
Watching the late late show on color TV
and life ain't easy, when you're livin' that way
But sometimes I wonder, maybe it's fun everyday
Yeah, yeah
I'm kicking down the road
I got a top hat on
With my head in overload
I heard a radio song
There was something in the air
I think I know it well
Watchin' everybody stare
You know I never tell
You knocked me to the floor
With a sound I never heard (2x)
I was walking down the street
Saw you sneakin' out your house
Know who you're gonna meet
In the criminal hour
Saw you slip right through the door
You whispered just a word
Then you knocked me to the floor
Lolita, Roxanne, needs a man
Lolita, Roxanne, needs a man
She's comin' home, there's been an affair
Abandoned by all her friends
Critisizin', analyzin', got her in an empty bed again
Gossip in the city, all night at her front door
She don't give the way she used to give before
She can't understand it, she's always been so candid, Roxanne
Gossip in the city, all night at her front door
She don't give the way she used to give before
She can't understand it, she's always been so candid, Roxanne
Get into your jumpsuit, baby
Lolita Roxanne, needs a man
Lolita Roxanne, needs a man
One day she'll get hurt, I'll circle 'round
And she can stick all her troubles in the safe-and-sound
From her radio, in stereo
Anything that gets her off the ground
Gossip in the city, all night at her front door
She don't give the way she used to give before
She can't understand it, she's always been so candid, Roxanne
Gossip in the city all night at her front door
She don't give the way she used to give before
Fascinating lady
Snowflake in the sun
You make me feel so bourgeois
Oh, you've captured everyone
I hear you've been a dancer
At some famous Paris show
And million dollar lovers
Neatly saw you to your door
Nineteen fifty seven
Sweetheart of the year
Secret of your beauty
Was your moontan and your fear
And now you run this city
You're still a honey to the flies
Attract the incrowd dandies
Faraway-look in their eyes
You're the bright, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
Your mask is sterile dignity
Tell me why, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
You haunt me, even in my dreams
It couldn't be avoided
We were bound to meet
I knew you would drag me down
And toss me off my feet
Sweet moments of desire
Sweet moments of relief
You blew down my fences
Oh you're natural make-believe
You're the bright, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
Your mask is sterile dignity
Tell me why, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
You haunt me, even in my dreams
You're the bright, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
Your mask is sterile dignity
Tell me why, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
From the Album:
* Bloody buccaneers
Take my soul take it away from me
Take my pride, take my dignity
Weepin' like a fool in broad daylight
And I know it just ain't right
I just won't listen to the sound of advice
Pray for me darling all through the night
Temporary madness, emotional overload
It only takes a dime to fall: that's all
Temporary madness, emotional overload
Even when I lose control I can hear you call
“Come home!â€
Walkin' on home my blood's on fire
Feels like my veins are runnin' dry
Jump through the mirror is what you want me to do
Stop sellin' lies baby buy me some truth
You caught me red-handed by the balls
I can hear you call
“Go home!â€
From the Album:
* Grab it for a second
U turn out of the sight
U turn I don't know what it is U turn time
U turn, turn the time
U turn
I don't wanna leave it all behind
You mean you could have stopped it
Could have stopped it easily
First you adore me
Now you want me
I'm tired of your ceremony
Help me
And take the car
I'm takin' your car
And leave when
And leave when
And leave when
And leave when
And leave when
Yeah yeah
U turn modern tonight
U burn, burn
But it's not my kind of life
U turn out on the side
U turn I don't know what it is
U turn time
You and me could have stopped it
Could have stopped it easily
First you adore me
Now you bore me
I'm tired of your ceremonies
Help me
And take the car
I'm takin' your car
And leave when
And leave when
And leave when
And leave when
And leave when
Believe me when you leave
You'll be happy
Oooooh yeah
From the Albums:
* To the hilt
* 2nd Live
Last night's blind date
Hit me like a handgranate
Blew holes in my soul
I'm on a love crusade
Wore my loves like a pair of gloves
But this time I'm going straight
'Cause I never felt this strange
I'm supposed to be skilled at the game
So once again it goes to show
You'll fall into the trap of love bro
Before you know
Sleepwalkin', don't panic
We're on the Titanic
Don't you try to call my bluff
Both eyes shut travels hard enough
Sleepwalkin', don't panic
We're on the Titanic
Across the bridges 'round the poop
A fire escape, won't hesitate
She's floating there
A living jewel
A gem that makes me lose my cool
It's no surprise I'm paralysed
This vision has got me hypnotized
Remember your princely duty
Rescue that sleepin' beauty
From the Album:
* Lovesweat
The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball, when I was young
refrain:
When I was young it was more important
They'd more fun and they laughed much louder yeah,
when I was young
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow man
and I was so much older then
When I was young
From the Albums:
* No promises no debts
* 2nd Live
The pity and the pleasure and the guilt and the pain
The sun and the moon and the stars in the rain
It's all the same
Goin' back to zero
The other side a life
With gasoline and neon lights
Seeping though the night
On a coulour-slide
Hand that's holdin' a gun
It's the trigger – happy son
Another abnormality
A wolf among the sheep
It's the good time boy, girls toy
Takin' another chance
And there he goes
Do you think he knows
On and on he goes
Do you think it shows
Hold on he's coming back
Like a joker jumpin' outa the deck
Hit a lotta dust. Hit it hard
Just to prove my lord he can take a lot
Dig it now you still can
Get a smoke-screen and a rifle-man
Holy Christ look at the state he's in
Save your skin take my advice
And keep the kids inside
Save your skin now you can without an alibi
Save your skin take my advice
And leave the dogs outside
Cause here he comes
It's the demon man with the fire in his eyes
Checking out your lies one by one.
Soulkitchen's empty
Lotta contrast with last night
There's broken chairs and broken glasses
Everywhere in sight
Sunlight is blindin' my eyes
Minute he walks in
How ya been?
From the Album:
* Prisoner of the night
Will's a broken down lover who's never been
outside the city he lives in
He's got memories of the better days
and he's floatin' in his dream
But tonight's the night that's gonna change
his life - change the whole situation
Mercy just got off the train
she gets a cab at the station
diamond time ahead - coming in the clear
Lonely hearts disappear
cause Mercy's on her way and Will don't have to wait
Time and time for the day anymore
Mercy's had enough of the now and then
Of her strait jacket existance
So she packs her bags and cuts her hair
and throws away the ribbons
Cause tonight's the night thats gonna change her life
change the whole situation
Will just turned the free sign off
Baby where can I take you
Who will stop the rain again
We will stop the rain and then....
When the lady smiles, you know it drives me wild
Her lips are warm and resourceful
When her fingertips, go drawing circles in the night
Then the mood is soft and sensual, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
It's the answer to all my dreams
Everytime it feels like the earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin', I hear it shatter
Maybe it's raining, faster and faster
Shadow dancin', together oh I
I'm a bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at me
And I'm feelin' proud
When the lady smiles, she holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles, I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact, I don't resist at all
â'Cos I'm walking on clouds and she is leadin' the way
My friends tell me, she's the beast inside your paradise
I guess you've heard it all before
A fallen angel, that has got you hypnotised
And that always needs some more, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
She's done nothin' to mislead me
â'Cos everytime we meet the earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin', I hear it shatter
Maybe it's rainin', faster and faster
Shadow dancin', together oh I
I'm bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at me
And I'm feeling proud
When the lady smiles, she holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles, I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact, I don't resist at all
â'Cos we're walkin' on clouds and she is leadin'
Oh no, oh no, oh nooooo......
From the Album:
* Seven tears
Don't let your head hang down
Try to raise it up to the sky
This is life my friend
I know it ain't far from dying
Don't hide in mist all day and night
To fade your scars and pain away
The world is glass my friend
Look at the other side of life today
Don't let your head hang down
Try to raise it up to the sky
This is life my friend
I know it ain't far from dying
Don't hide in mist all day and night
To fade your scars and pain away
The world is glass my friend
Look at the other side of life today
He's looking at me with his eyes closed and his lips are moving fast
Little drops are dripping now from his chin upon his chest
And every time I try to escape, the little dwarf appears and fades
His glassy hand it touches me, I smell the air of death and life
Walking through the ballroom of the dead I hear two ghostly voices and a dark duet
Hearin the music of the minuet
Walkin through the ballroom of the dead
Voices, I wish they were signing glad
His glassy hand, it touches me, I smell the air of death and life
Walking through the ballroom of the dead I hear two ghostly voices and a dark duet
Hearin the music of the minuet
Walkin through the ballroom of the dead
Voices, I wish they were signing glad
Hearing the music of the minuet
Ghostly voices, dark duet
Hearing the music of the minuet
Ghostly voices, dark duet
I don't wanna die!
Hearing the music of the minuet
I don't wanna die!
Ghostly voices, dark duet
I don't wanna die!
Hearing the music of the minuet
I don't wanna die!
Ghostly voices, dark duet
I don't wanna die!
I don't wanna die!
From the Album:
* Lovesweat
On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
Moanin' out it's one note song
You can think about the woman
Or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
The way they always do
When your ridin' sixteen hours
And there's nothing there to do
And you don't feel much like ridin'
You just wish the trip was through
Refrain:
Here I am, on the road again
Here I am, on the stage
Here I go, playin' star again
Here I go, turn the page
Well you walk into a restaurant
All strung out from the road
And feel the eyes upon ya
As you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
But you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear ‘em talk
Other times you can
It's the same old cliché's
Is it woman, is it man
and you always seem outnumbered
So you don't dare make a stand
(refrain)
Out there in the spotlight
You're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
You try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
Like the music that you play
Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
Ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Remembring what she said
Refrain: 2x
Etc.
From the Album:
* Keeper of the flame
All your lipgloss & eye shadow
So seductive - so mature
Oh, you're such a femme fatale
Only one look
You can't touch the merchandise
Keep dreamin' of you
Thinkin' of you
Walkin' with you
Runnin' away from you
I love the way you lie to me
My sexual fantasy
My Queen believe me
I'll always be waitin' for an opportunity!
refrein:
But you're too much woman, not enough girl
You'd sell your soul for a diamond & a pearl
Too much woman, not enough girl
Rather be livin' in a grown up world
Too much woman, can't you see?
You're too much woman, but not enough girl for me
Sittin' in your ivory tower
Waitin' for the man
Waitin' for the power
Lookin' at the sand in the hourglass
Listnin' to the sound of the cars go pass your window!
Baby, baby
I'll keep dreamin' of you
Thinkin' of you
Walkin' with you
Runnin' away from you
refrein:
You're too much woman, not enough girl
You'd sell your soul for a diamond & a pearl
Too much woman, not enough girl
Rather be livin' in a grown up world
Too much woman, can't you see
You're too much woman, but not enough girl for me
(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)
Wanna try, wanna fly
Right through the needles eye
Wanna be chilled, wanna be thrilled
Press your luck right to the hilt
Hey boy, quit that stare
Get out of grandpa's rockin' chair
How about raisin' hell,
Let's see if we outdo ourselves
One day you'll be tied and gagged
Your head upon the railroad track
The rail's hummin', there's a train a comin'
I'm sure your last thought's full of regret
Before the wheels roll across your neck
Why didn't I do this
How come I didn't do that
I could be out there, paintin' towns red
Sweat, maybe I'll wake up in bed
No boy, this is it
You should've used a bit more wit
Get out there and dig in deep
Stay wide awake when you're asleep
Who wants to compromise
When every second hour flies
Set the time on half past tilt
For making love right to the hilt
One day you'll be buried
Up to your elbows in the sand
And there's honey glowin'
Down your cheeks it's flowing
You'll find some time to reflect
Before the ants are crawling over your head
Why didn't I do this
How come I didn't do that
Is this a dream that's gone bad
Maybe I'll just wake up, wake up in bed
To the hilt, is that what you said
(G.Kooymans/F.Carillo)
Carmalita's in the doorway, with her hand on her hip
Smilin' at all the boys as they shuffle on by
She makes a lot of money with a brand new trick
They come in from all over just to give her a try
Give her try
She doesn't seem to notice, that she's being bled
The streetlights throw shadow lovers onto her bed
She doesn't seem to notice that she is being bled
If this is living then you're better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
Ooh ooh ohh, better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
Lupe, Lupe gets more crazy as the moon gets full
She papered all the walls with the NY Times
She thinks that she is the Queen reborn of the Nile
Swears at all the people as they walk on by
Walk on by
The streetlights throw shadow lovers onto her bed
No one ever understand a single word she says
The street lights throw shadow lovers onto her bed
If this is living then you're better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
Ooh ooh ohh, better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
Well they've got every kind of remedy to make you feel right
Pills and thrills in every shape and size
You scramble up your brain in cocktail shaker
And throw it out the window for a big surprise, big surprise
Wake up in the morning, nothing left in your head
If this is livin', you're better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
Ooh ooh ohh, better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
If this is livin', you're better off dead
If this is livin'
If this is livin', you're better off dead
