if roses are meant to be red
and violets to be blue
then why isn't my heart meant for you
my hands longing to touch you
but I can barely breathe
starry eyes that make me melt
right in front of me

lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
and when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found

his music's irresistable
your voice makes my skin crawl
innocent and pure
I guess you heard it all before

mr.Inaccessable
will this ever change
one thing that remains the same
is you're still a picture in a frame

lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
and when the lights go down
that is where I'll be found

I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
and when the lights go down
that's where I'll be found

lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
and when the lights go down
and we're the only ones

Between these walls I used to live, without receiving
So much that I have to give, between these walls
There were alot of things that I could, have done differently
But it ain't about the way I live, it's the heart that counts

Comfort, feed, embrace, love and protect me
Aint that what I'm here for?
You said you'd be here for me, no matter what

How come it feels so cold, everytime you step into this room?
Why does it feel so cold?
It isn't human

In the spring of '75, that's when God made a mistake
He took me here, to the wrong side
I guess you did the best you could, but never good enough
Caust it's the heart that counts

Comfort, feed, embrace, love and protect me
Aint that what I'm here for?
You said you woud die for me, remember?

How come it feels so cold, everytime you step into this room?
Why does it feel so cold?
I'm freezing

Stuck here with this broken heart
All I can do, is hoping for a full recovery
Why did you have me in the first place?
Well?

Comfort, feed, embrace, love and protect me
Comfort, feed, embrace, baby just respect me
Yeah..


How come it feels so cold everytime..
(Comfort, feed, embrace, no just respect me, just respect me..)
How come it feels so cold everytime..
(Ohh, ohh..)

Comfort, feed, embrace, baby, baby love me!
Baby love me, love me yeah, ohh love me yeah, just love me yeah, just love me yeah!

They say that sometimes
You've got to pick up your arms and fight
For what you believe is right

Some say
That's just not the way
You will only make things worse

So I close my eyes and turn my head away
And I hope it'll be alright
Fall into a restless sleep
While so many innocent die
That's why I sing

[Chorus]
Hail to all of us
Hail to all of us down here

Maybe someday soon
When we've thought things over
We'll know what to do
But probably
There's a much bigger chance, you see
That it will all be gone

So I close my eyes and turn my head away
And I just hope it'll be alright
Fall into restless sleep
While so many others die
That's why I sing

[chorus]

New York City, London, Jericho
Jerusalem, Sydney, anywhere you wanna go
Capetown, to the moon and back again

[chorus](x2)

Now I believe that what I used to think was a lie
Is really alive
Now I can see there’s only one place to reach
Only one thing to preach and that’s the highest
It’s the strangest thing that I can feel so much

There is no reason, there is no logic to feelings
‘Cause when love is the dealer I’m addicted
So fasinated, I can’t stop this constant craving
You’re contagious
It’s the strangest thing that I can feel so much
For someone, somehow (2x)

(chorus)
And I cannot hide, even if I’d try
You mean everything to me
Any fool can see, what you’ve done to me
You mean everything to me
And when you’re not here, I just cry
And when you’re not here, I could die

The best is still to come dear
The best is still to come for us (2x)

It’s the strangest thing that I can feel so much
For someone, somehow (2x)

Chorus...

Girl
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Girl girl girl when I hear him talk
Oh my mind gets blocked girl
Speak up 'cause my jaw is locked
Which is good, good for me girl
It hides like a warning sign
But I'm too blind to see
Speak up, yes I'm comin' down
with an ice-cold fever

Still got my hands there clinging
So I just keep going

I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No I don't know where I belong
Could I belong

Girl girl girl get it while it's hot they say
You see I'm burning up here

I want to but I just can't stop
And it hurts, it hurst like hell girl

You turn me inside out and upside down
You got me head over heels

I'm stuck yes I'm comin' down
with an ice cold fever

Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going

I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No I don't know where I belong
Could I belong

Nobody's Wife
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I'm sorry for the times that I made you scream
for the times that I killed your dreams
for the times that I made your whole world rumble

for the times that I made you cry
for the times that I told you lies
for the times that I watched and let you stumble

It's too bad, but that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, 'cause I, I'll never be nobody's wife

I'm sorry for the times that I didn't come home
left you lyin' in that bed alone
was flyin' high in the sky when you needed my shoulder

you're like a stone hangin' round my neck, see
cut it loose before it breaks my back, see
I've gotta say what I feel before I grow older

I'm sorry but I ain't gonna change my ways
you know I've tried but I'm still the same
I've got to do it my own way

It's too bad, but hey, that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife

It's too bad, but hey, that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife

Sacrifice
(O. Boumans / S. van Amerongen)

Who's the one that makes you happy
Who's the one that always makes you laugh
Who's the reason you're smiling
And dragged you through these time, so rough

I was the one that made you happy
I was the one that eased the pain
But I'm the reason that you're crying now
My own tears scattered by the rain

You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna be

Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby
You shared your wildest dreams and more
You dare me to express my feelings to you
I never felt that need before

But suddenly you needed freedom
You felt the need to break free
You started drowning in your sorrow
You didn't wanna know I had the key

You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna to be

You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me
You can be who you wanna
You can be who you wanna be

Mood Indigo
(B. Hay / G. Kooymains)

A taste of breath, a kiss sweater than honey
Your eyes in a misty dream a million miles away
And in my ear you whisper my name
Just like in some old news flash
From light years ago

Van Dyke's on the slide trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the ivory coast
Start singin' my favourite song
And it happen' to be mood indigo

Mood indigo
I just go weak when I hear mood indigo
Could last for weeks until I decide to wake up
Take off my make up

Holding on to my heart
Smokin' them downhill
In a room number thirteen
Tryin' to stretch my luck again
Down the corridor your footsteps echo against the wall
My man of mystery, my date with infinity
Tonight I'm gonna sacrifice, for the first time in my life
Make it all come back to me, like an old forgotten dream

It's So Hard
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I'm just thinkin' about the child in me,
That I sometimes feel inside
And I'm figuring out just what it is
That makes me feel so small

Is it you, that hurts me when I give myself
Every day and every night
Am I too blind to see that it doesn't work out
Did I really ask too much of you baby
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say

It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard

As I search for an answer, I see the clear blue sky
And I know that you're the one to blame
And I feel so naïve
When you say that our love to you was just a game
I dream, my dream, I'm sane, I'm insane
Oh, please don't, please don't speak to me that way
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say

It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard
Damned it's so hard, why you're so hard
Why you're so hard, It's tearing me apart

R U Kiddin' Me
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Sure got my piece of heaven
An angel in disguise
Gone wild

But I thought you were a man
Who knew right from wrong
That's why I really don't understand
Why he's with her

It's killing me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Laughs with you, can she,
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that I don't have

I tried to call him
Anytime anywhere
But he's never there

So I went to his place
And waited all day
So he would explain it to me
And this is what he said:

There is nothing left to say
I had my fill, I went away
Your crying eyes won't change a thing
It was just a fling

Well how could an angel break my heart
He said: We could still be friends

Are you kidding me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Talks to you, can she
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that i don't have

But twice every year
When he's in tears
When he loses his mind
And can't help but cry
He'll call me and then
I am better than, I am

Michel
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Hey Michel how's life are you ok
I wonder if you ever think of me
It's been 9 years since that kiss
I can help but reminisce
Hey Michel do you remember

We walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be

Now it's you and her I see

You were my first and worst love
And so it only could go wrong
But ain't that just the way you learn
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know
That someone else has stolen my heart
And now another girl has caught your eye
That doesn't mean I don't think of you
I am just hoping that she'll treat you right

Do you remember
How we walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand and you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be

Now it is you and her I see

It was just a silly dream

Hey Michel do you remember

The Dark
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I'm walking in the park
And I'm talking to the dark
But there ain't nobody listening
My heart has turned to stone
When I found myself alone
Now all I do is whisper to the dark

There's only so much you can take
You've gotta to give yourself a break
But I don't think you're listening
If you're gonna take it all so hard
You gonna tear yourself apart
I can understand you miss him in the dark

Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50pm train to the city
Yeah, I had a chance for romance so I do it again now

If love is no longer being served
You've got to leave the table
Mister aznavour told me, merci beaucoup
Though I miss him, got to let go
Though I miss him, got to let go
Let it go

It's about that time to leave it all behind you
You don't want to but life is passing by you
The hard knocks, got you twisted like dreadlocks
Catalogue your dark and set some new marks
I understand your body's filled with hesitation
Trust me it's gonna be a whole new situation
Turn this page I guess you know what to do
Rise up like phoenix I'm bringing out the beauty in you

Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50pm train to the city
Yeah, I had a chance for romance so I do it again now

Love
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

It's funny how I blind myself so I don't have to see
They're taking me down and bringing me to my knees
Letting me know I'm alone
Not afraid to die no more
The house above
Heaven won't you pick me up now

Love all I needed was love
Someone give me some love
I guess it's only meant for some of us
Life has made me loose my mind
I'm not doing all right these days
Lying naked on my kitchen floor
So cold well I thought I had a lion's heart
I guess it was wrong
I feel so damn lonely

Love all I needed was some love
Could someone give me some sweet loving
Cause this is more than I can bear
My nights are getting darker as time goes by
How I've tried to keep these walls from falling down
One way or another they shut me down

I Live For You
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

You tell me that you need to spend sometime alone
You tell me that you think it's best if I'd go home now
I get my coat from off the floor, I'm out the door
Walking home alone, my love has left

My head, my heart, all torn apart
My mind's exploding
Crying my eyes out over you

It must be hard for you to believe that I might love you
Just try to understand I just want you to want me too
You made me fall in love again, you angel
How you take my breath away, I live for you

My head, my heart, all torn apart
My mind's exploding
Crying my eyes out over you

It must be hard for you to believe that I might love you
Just try to understand I just want you to want me too

My head, my heart, all torn apart
My mind's exploding
Crying my eyes out over you

I live for you, why won't you live for me

Margarita Chum
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Here, if it's any consolation, take mine
No, no need for explanations, it's alright
With me it would only be redundent, see
If you only try to keep it all inside
I lay me down with your decision
Blow your mind, don't hesitate
This devil takes your pain away
Take mine

But now that I have finally found you
I'm gonna take it one step at a time
Let's try to keep this good thing going
You tell a joke, I nearly die
We have to laugh until we cry
Take mine, please take mine

My margarita chum, that's what you are
I'm laughing my ass off when you sing
Everybody's happy now
The Luna-queens become the lunatics
While Janis Joplin tells her friend
He's just a one night-stand

I hear you retching in my bathroom, but I don't mind
No, I'll clean it up tomorrow, just sit down
Again you choke me when you grumble
You and me we're so much like RG
And now I'll show you how to tango
I think it's time for us to say
That this has been a perfect day and retire, please retire

My margarita chum, that's what you are
I'm laughing my ass off when you sing
Everybody's happy now
A V.I.P. is what you are to me
I love it when you take me on your lonely Sunday stroll

Jerusalem
(A. Teeuwe / R. Stotijn)

Sir can you tell me how to get to Jerusalem
'cause I have kind of lost my way
Sir will you help me get there as fast as I can
Tomorrow might be too late

'cause things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
People always tellin' me how sweet and simple life could be
They say you might as well live before you die

But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole

Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back Jerusalem

It took me quite some time to get into Jerusalem
'cause I had kinda lost my way
I want to save me from myself so here I am
I hope it's not too late

'cause things they want they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I am so afraid to love
'cause of the way I've been hurt before
I think by now it's time for me to leave

But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole

Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back Jerusalem
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost

Things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I don't wanna die this way
Whishing that I could turn back time
Wasted time there is work to to be done

One Word
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I close my eyes
And imagine you're here
Did it all seem so hopeless
Given the chance
I would ask
Forgive me
I didn't do a thing to make you stay
I didn't say a word to make you stay

If I would have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I didn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word

And I don't know why you’re gone, now you’re gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you’re, you're a star in heaven

My thoughts unsaid
Stuck in my head
And it all feels so useless
Never forget to give all I have
Forgive me
I couldn't do a thing to make you stay
And I couldn't say a word to make you stay

If I would have known
could I have tried to make it easier
But I couldn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word

And I don't know why you’re gone, now you’re gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you’re, you're a star in heaven

More Than You Deserve
(A.Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

What about the songs you sang my love
Were they meant for her
And all those words you never said before
What about those kisses in my sleep
Were they meant for her
Tomorrow will be fine
Yeah just a little while
Oh no this ain't no way to live
'cause I will be

Watching every step, scared I won't find you again
'cause if I leave you by yourself then you can hide away
I'll be watching every step, scared I won't find you again
'cause if I leave you by yourself

What about that bracelet in your car
Was it meant for her
I am more than you deserve
Tomorrow will be fine
Oh no this ain't no way to live
'cause I will be

Watching every step, scared I won't find you again
'cause if I leave you by yourself then you can hide away
I'll be watching every step, scared I won't find you again
'cause if I leave you by yourself

Why couldn't you just lie, suicide
Why couldn't you just lie
Don't waste my time, suicide
I am more than you deserve

Falling Sun
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Relationship lost on a stormy sea
I hold on to you
Just hold on to me
When the lightning strikes
You hear the thunder roaring
And you don't know how long
This will go on

But I know I still love you
And I know you still care
So keep on trying when you're sure you still love me

I don't know much
But I know how to love you
Doesn't that mean anything
I don't know much
But I know how to love you

A sea of love Don't let it drown us
We're way to far from shore
As we go deeper
As the wind grows stronger
It tries to tip us over
And we've both learned how to swim
So let's just go on

'cause I know I still love you
And I know you still care
So keep on trying when you're sure you still love me

I don't know much
But I know how to love you
Doesn't that mean anything
I don't know much
But I know how to love you

I know I still love you
And I know you still care

I don't know much
But I know how to love you
Doesn't that mean anything
I don't know much
But I know how to love you

And it's all I need to know...
For now

Alright
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Some things are better left unsaid
You'll find a nice place to hide them
But days like this
There is just too much going on
So I'm picking up the pieces of my past
But I can't find no peace at all
So in other words

I am so ready to be found
So I'll try and I might
Stand up and fight
To leave this place someday
All I need is that moment
To make me believe that you're alive

And then I'll be alright
Paradise grown cold
One hand on my door
Way too high hopes
I can't tell right from wrong

Show me how it's done
Lord I need to be saved
And then I'll be alright
On days like this
There is just too much going on

So I'll try and I might
Stand up and fight
To leave this place someday
All I need is that moment
To make me believe that you're alive
And then I'll be alright

Help
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

When your world comes crashing down
Don't waste no time
No this world's big enough for you and me
And when you need someone to hold
There's always someone around

Help, help them to help you
Help, help them to help you

'cause when you're down
Stand up again
Breathe in

And when you're down
Come up again, breathe in

When you feel you’re tumblin' down
Now don't you worry
You'll be back upon your feet again

When you need someone to hold
There's always someone around

Help, help them to help you
Help, help them to help you

'cause when you're down
Stand up again
Breathe in

Yeah when you're down
Stand up again
Hold on

Soon your eyes will see the sun, I believe in love
Is it worth the tears you cry, what about the love
Just leave the past behind, do you believe in love
You are never to far gone to try

Breathe in, what you waiting for
Breathe in, you are never to far gone to try
Breathe in, what you waiting for
Breathe in, soon your eyes will see the sun again
And again and again

Our own love
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I'm watching your shadow cut by the moon
Peacefull I wait for the dawn

These moments in silence are all that I need
The softness of hearing you breathe

And I know it doesn't get better than this
Funny it starts with just one little kiss

Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
We've started a home, of our own love

Your ups and your downs, powers and fears
Your presence fulfills my desire
You're all that I wished for
You're more than I need, you're right where I want to be

I don't ask questions or try to explain
Telling myself it just happens this way

Baby all I know no, you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
We've started a home, of our own love

I don't ask questions
or try to explain
Telling myself it just happens this way

Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
We've started a home, of our own love

I Spy
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I spy, I spy a tear in your eye
So I'll try, I'll try to get you out of here
You sigh, just move a little closer
Time flies, soon the night is over

Morning, noon, night, all day
All I ever wanted was for you to come my way
We've got time so let it slide
Roll me over get on top
Yes baby let's turn off the lights
And make an end to my lonely

I'm high, so high when you're with me
I might, I might stay all night
You, oh my, you're such a wild boy
Time flies, soon the night is over

Morning, noon, night, all day
All I ever wanted was for you to come my way
We've got time so let it slide
Roll me over get on top

Yes baby let's just lose our mind
And make an end to my
An end to my an end to my lonely

Welcome to the other side

An end to my an end to my
My lonely life

Welcome to the other side

Fading
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I got my heads in the clouds
Running from the thunder
Proud as I can be I am
Waiting for the grey to replace the black in me
Daddy, will the sun come up again

You and me, we fail to see
Nothing lasts forever
It's plain to see, you will agree
It's hard to play together

Will we keep the thieves away
Will we both remember
To make the best of every chance
Or will we just surrender
Shouldn't we be making
Any effort needed to
Stop our dreams from fading

The sky is fading black to blue
We should be together
I am runnin' out to faith
And it takes something more each time
Before I put my heart in your hands daddy
You and me, did we fail to see
No one stays together
No it won't be easy
You will agree
To make this a forever

Graduated Fool
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Graduated fool, that is what I am
For every time I failed you
You're so beautiful, I just turned and walked away

I jingle with words, tangle my tongue
Stammering stutters
So I wrote you this song, to finally tell you
What you've known all along, I love you
Believe in me, believe me

It was true devotion, now these mixed emotions
Oh, I did it again
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
We'll be laughing again
Believe in me

Graduated fool, I'm better than I am
For that is what you made me
Please, hold back your tears
I didn't deserve you anyway
Believe in me, I still care for you, believe me
Just believe in me, believe me

When I kiss your face again, all these mixed emotions
Of pleasure and pain
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
We'll be laughing again

Believe in me, you're so beautiful, believe me
Just believe in me, believe me

Stop Thinking
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Lately I've been feeling down
I don't get around much anymore
So I just spend my time alone
Waiting for the phone to ring
I keep thinking of you

I miss the language that we speak
When we don't even talk
And everytime I see you smile
You make it all worthwile
I keep thinking of you

I never loved someone like this before
Keep staring at your picture while I try to
Work my way around you
But nothing's any good
'Cause I keep thinking of you

You never told me I would feel
Lonely without you
You're not supposed to make me cry
You said don't you worry I am yours
And in a while you were gonna call me
Well it's been six hours now
I keep thinking of you

I never loved someone like this before
Keep staring at your picture while I try to
Work my way around you
But nothing's any good
'Cause I keep thinking of you

No Time To Waste
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I've got time to think about
The things you think about when
You've got time to spare
Wonder why we're here

I wonder when or where it might go wrong
I wonder why I went along with you
Why I forgot to think
Forgot to think it through now

I wonder why I
I wonder why

You go on pushing yourself
You keep on fooling yourself
You don't know why, you don't know
You don't know how, you just don't know
You keep on, I keep on fooling myself

There's a time and place for everything
A time to act a time to dream
There's time to wait
But no time to waste

I wonder why I
I wonder why

You go on pushing yourself
You keep on fooling yourself
You don't know why, you don't know
You don't know how, you just don't know
You keep on, I keep on fooling myself

Searching
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I am looking for answers to questions never posed
I haven't got a clue, I'm living like a ghost
I can't seem to read the signs
I'm swimming in the sand, I'm searching

I hold on to your reasons, I'll hold on to my dreams
It's all good and bad advice, 'cause you have to choose
One friend says to go ahead, other one says don't
I'm searching

Whatever I try I can't find it
Whatever I roam it's all gone

No you can't find it, first you gotta lose it

Looking for an angle to change my point of view
Waiting for somebody someone to relate to
Hoping for forgiveness, I'm living for love
I'm searching

Yearning for a teacher, to show me what to do
I'm learning from failure, that's all that I can do
Working on solutions, a fiction of truth
Keep on searching

Whatever I try I can't find it
Whatever I roam it's all gone

No you can't find it, first you gotta lose it

Bigger Side
(Gert Bertens)

It's good to see you after all this time
It's good to know that you are doing fine
But I can't help but notice in a bar on Friday night
There is something you should tell me
But your driver waits outside

You're moving on, you're going to a bigger world
You're moving on, you're ready for the universe
It's meaningless to me
Cause you're not here to see'
The bigger side of me

I swear I saw a tear roll down your face
But there's a lot of smoke in bars these days
All I notice is the light that shines upon you from aside
Getting jealous of the coffee in the cup you hold so tight

You're moving on, you're going to a bigger world
You're moving on, you're ready for the universe
It's meaningless to me
Cause you're not here to see'
The bigger side of me

You're moving on to God knows where
Send me a postcard when you're there
Will I remember
That will It say
"The weater is nice today"?

You're moving on, you're going to a bigger world
You're moving on, you're ready for the universe
It's meaningless to me
Cause you're not here to see'
The bigger side of me

Only You
(A. Teeuwe/B. van Veen)

The sounds of the world escape me
The moment you crack
Now you driving
Down the highway of regret

Your a victim
Of your apitite
Promises broken
Yeah
Your that restless kind Only you, only you can stop this
Stop this from pulling us under

Baby, no one can do this but you Blue dreams about you
My eyes wide open
You think you lost it
My heart for you
The sfeer of you’re not being here, with me

Were moving slowmotion
I stop and rewind
Back to better times

Only you, only you can stop this
Stop this from pulling us under(2x)
Baby, no one can do this but you

Only you oooh
only you can stop this

Home is in my Head
(Jacki Lomax)

I have drunk virginia water
I have dug my own gravesend
Set my foot ashore in new port
Travelled far beyond my landsend

And home is in my head
I have dived into a blackpool
With a maidstone around my neck
I just drifted into the southsea
With no hull beyond my deck

And home is in my head
Well I have lost a wheel in barrow
Try to cross the no one cambridge
When my liverpool grew shallow
Had to dig more wells in turnbridge

Redemption
(R.R. Stotijn / A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

You walked in and drop the bomb you're tellin' me

Gambled away the money that I put aside
And that Jill is having your baby

Now you're sorry and you want to come clean,
Well thank you anyway
So go ahead now and shoot me redemption
Redemption from you

Did I ever tell you your mother is a bitch
For giving birth to someone like you

Take a gun instead

That's something I can tell you that's for sure
All you ever say is c'est la vie I'm not gonna take it no more

Just go ahead and shoot me redemption
Redemption for you

I Alone
(E. Kowalczyk / C. Taylor / C. Gracey)

It's easier not to be wise
And measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
Alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes,
You'll need them, your boat is at sea
Your anchor is up, you've been swept away
And the greatest of teacher's
Won't hesitate
To leave you there, by yourself,
Chained to fate

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you

It's easier not to be great,
And measure these things by your eyes
We long to be here by his resolve
Alone in the church by and by
To cradle the baby in space
And leave you there by yourself
Chained to fate

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you

..............

Oh, now, we took it back too far,
Only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn
All come runnin' back to you, all these rhythms that you hide
Only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lovin' Wiskey
(Rory Block)

Well if you live in dusty twilight baby, that's ok
Cause there are woman at the bar to greet you every day

You can take them back to lie with you and visit Jamie's room
But they can never take the pain away
Or brighten all the gloom

And if your hands are cleansed with sorrow
May it help you ease your pain
Though the windows have a view of city rain, city rain

Well if you walk in constant sorrow
And you cry for me
And if your hit with painful memories
Maybe then youl see

That if you drown yourself in liquor
Because it keeps you company
Then just remember who you're losing
And be proud to set me free

Because it don't talk back or disagree
It just makes you see so hazily
But in de morning light your life is scattered with the wind,
scattered with the wind

And they tell you on the telephone to let him go
I said they tell you hes a sinking ship
And hes try to pull you down
Dont you know

That every time you call me up and sy you want me back
You know you break my heart
You sad you want me to come back home and trie again
You want me to make a brand new start

But if whisdom says to let him go
Than its hell because you just dont know
Untill youf tryed to love a man whos lovin' whiskey
Lovin' whiskey

My baby left me for a bottle
And the lure of the nightlife
Good times and crazy women
And another glass of tangerine

But if whisdom says to let him go
Then it's hell because you just dont know
Untill you'f tried to love a man whos lovin' whiskey
Lovin' whiskey

Last Time
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Last time you're breaking my heart it's the last time
Last time im falling apart its the last time
Took a while to even up the score
Its the last time baby once more.

Last time youre breaking my heart its the last time

Last time once again its the
Last time im on my own again
How could ive been so blind
How could ive been so blind.

How could you take me for granted all these years
You kept telling me no it won't happen again.
But everytime i turn around you stab me in the back
Your perfect smile aint flashing anymore
Your magic gone boy.

This time im breaking youre heart its my turn now
Its my turn to let you fall apart im gonna make eyes burn.

And what i really have learned from this
Is that im never gonna follow my heart agina.
Wholl treat you like a dog like they just dont care.
Im gonna watch my steps before i get me some ass.
This is this is the last time

How could you take me for granted all these years.
You kept telling me no it wont happen again.
But everytime i turnaround you stab me in the back

Losing My Religion
(J.M. Stipe / W.T Berry / M.I. Mills / P.L. Buck)

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

In The Sand
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

So many times I've cried
When dark clouds block the sunlight
And it's raining in my heart
I'll keep my head up high

So little time to try
To find out, about the feeling
That's deep inside of you
And keeps the dream alive

So remember
When you're down and out
In the sand

So many minds are torn
By overloading senses
You're breathing in and out
No second left to sigh

Can you tell me why
Nobody will tell me
What they're feeling deep inside
We're all just telling lies

Every time you wonder
Why the feeling lingers
And it's stuck inside your soul
You're crying when you smile

So remember
When you're down and out

When you're stuck in the middle
When you can't solve the riddle
Lay it down in the sand
When you can't help but shiver
Get you finger off the trigger
Lay it down in the sand

Get it out your head
Out of your hands
Lay it down in the sand
So remember
When you're down and out
When everything's missing
And there's nobody listening
Lay it down in the sand
When you can't help but shiver
Get you finger off the trigger
Lay it down in the sand

Get it out your head
Out of your hands
Lay it down
In the sand

Tom Waits
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I was dreaming last night
A figment of my brain
On the downtown train
And we had nowhere to go

So we got off to take a walk
In the pouring rain
You said you rode it once
And you would ride it again
Please take me with you

Tom waits for the morning train
To take us away
Me and mr. Tom Waits
Can't wait no more

I'm wrapped around your finger
Two fingers on my lips
No need to speak
Cause it's all in our eyes

When they turned out the lights
They gave us one for the road
We headed for the tracks
And never looked back
This could never be real

Tom waits for the morning train
To take us away
Me and mr. Tom Waits
Can't wait no more
Can't wait no more
On the downtown train
Me and mister Tom Waits

Urban Solitude
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I've got a bug in my head
And a jumping heart
No time to spare
Turn left turn right step on it
Stopped by the traffic light

And all that honking screaming
The cabdriver is dreaming
Of the beach and babes
Leaning back easy as the sun goes down
But I'm already late
No time to spare, couldn't care less about it
If the sky was falling down
No I don't care you can stare while the whole world is crumbling around me

Urban solitude breaking me down
Keeps me dreaming
Urban solitude shaking me down
Keeps me dreaming

So you've got a lot of stuff on your mind
Or a bleeding heart when nobody cares
Step in, step out of the rain
Head for the flickering lights, just head for the flickering lights
There's always somebody dancing, taking a chance
You can find a little romance, someone will give you love
Although it's just enough to get you through the night
Well alright now
No I don't care you can stare
I don't care about it
No I don't care you can stare, while the whole world is crumbling around me

Urban solitude breaking me down
Keeps me dreaming
Urban solitude shaking us down
Keeps me dreaming

U Being U
(A. Teeuwe / R. Pronk)

I don't exist for you
You made that crystal clear
Your sweetest thing for 7 years
What did I do to deserve this

Don't think you own my life
I've still got my pride
Trying so hard to forget
I cannot help but hear your voice

This is love, just trust me baby
Other girls mean nothing to me
Why don't you keep your big mouth shut

And all the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
It's just a matter of time

Baby, don't get me wrong
If I'm not there to catch your fall
Did I try for too long
Am I to blame for you being you

Save those tears for someone else
Your trouble's only just begun
Hands off my sunshine leave it alone
Before I go commit a crime

I'm gonna show you what you taught me
No respect, no mercy
Till you fall down on your knees for me

All the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
It's just a matter of time

Baby, don't get me wrong
If I'm not there to catch your fall
Did I try for too long
Am I to blame for you being you

My Best Wasn't Good Enough
(Dinand Woethoff)

Let's say I'm feeling better
Let's say I'm feeling fine
Let's say I gave you all I had
And now I'm out of time
And my best wasn't good enough

And now this time to wonder
Now this time to heal
Time to let it all come down
But I don't know what I feel

But it aches and it hurts and it burns
Oh it kills me

Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again

Now don't you call me baby
Just don't pretend you care
Save your sorry for yourself
When Judas takes you there, yes

Once I really believed
There was nothing out there for the lost and lonely
But a voice in my head kept banging on my heart
Says you're not the only one

But it kills me

Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again

Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again

It Wasn't Me
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Can you tell me how you feel
When you turn on your tv
When you see me singing through my tears
I've saved up all these years
Can you tell me what you see
When you read the magazines
Do you see yourself in me
When you read the magazines
When the DJ plays this song
Can you tell me what you hear

And I hope you feel the way we felt
When you put us all through hell
Can you tell me how you feel now
How do feel, how do you feel
Tell me how you sleep at night
Do you take those pills like me
Or do you toss and turn
and lay your head on the pillow and fall asleep
cause you just don't care,
how do you feel

And now I'm in your face
And you feel that empty space
Why did we how did we come to fall from grace
Falling, falling
Didn't you just hear us calling out
No there's nothing left to say
Cause you shouldn't have stayed away
No man leaves his flesh and blood this way

And I hope you feel the way we felt
When you put us all through hell
Can you tell me how you feel now
How do feel, how do you feel
Tell me how you sleep at night
Do you take those pills like me
Or do you toss and turn
and lay your head on the pillow and fall asleep
cause you just don't care
how do you feel

It took a crowd for me to see
That it really wasn't me
The swaying crowd is the cleansing rain
It took the pain away
And I hope you'll find yourself alone
In a million dollar home
You will be stuck
With a heart like a rock
I hope you run out of luck fool
How do you feel now
Does it hurt, does it hurt
How do you feel now
I'm just wonderin' how it feels

Cry
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

All you ever do is
Letting it all just pass you by
No need to try
All you ever say is
Baby it's alright now

All you ever do is
Letting the hurt crawl up inside
No need to cry
All you ever say is
Baby, I feel just fine

What do you think of me
Don't you think I see
That you're just hiding from me
What do you think of me
Don't you think I see
That you're just lying to me
Do you think I'm blind sucker

Open up your eyes
You've got to learn to cry
Baby that's alright baby
Open up your, open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
You've got to learn to cry
Maybe you'll feel just fine

All I ever do is
Waitin' for you to tell me why
You never try
All I ever say
Could you tell me why

All I ever do is
Hoping that you will tell me why
You never cry
All I ever say is
Baby it's alright, it's alright for you to cry

What do you think of me
Don't you think I see
That you're just hiding from me
What do you think of me
Don't you think I see
That you're just lying to me
Do you think I'm blind sucker

Open up your eyes
You've got to learn to cry
Baby that's alright baby
Open up your, open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
You've got to learn to cry
Maybe you'll feel just fine

Body Brain
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Well you know I've got this problem '
Cause there is you
No matter how I try to tell you you just can't see
Oh no, I won't get through

You've got a body and a brain

Instead of pointing to another
Take a look at yourself
Why don't you just use that thing inside you head
And try to tell me why

You've got a body and a brain
You're free to speak, could you explain
The reason for your narrow mind
You're thinking medieval times
Your ignorance just gets you scared
Of everything and I don't know
Which way the wind is blowing
Hoping it will blow your fears away

I'm sure I'll never solve this problem
But I hope you will
I'll speak my mind and tell you
Time and time again
Though I won't get through

You've got a body and a brain
You're free to speak, could you explain
The reason for your narrow mind
You're thinking medieval times
Your ignorance just gets you scared
Of everything and I don't know
Which way the wind is blowing
Hoping it will blow your fears away

Blow your fears away
Time and time and time and time again
But I can't get through baby
Let me explain

You've got a body and a brain
You're free to speak, could you explain
The reason for your narrow mind
You're thinking medieval times
Your ignorance just gets you scared
Of everything and I don't know
Which way the wind is blowing
Hoping it will blow your fears away

My Friend
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

What's the matter my friend
Can't you tell me why
You say there's nothing on your mind
Please stop telling lies

As long as you're lying
I can't ease your mind

No sense in hiding
It's all in your eyes
No need to hide
Can't tell me lies
No sense in hiding
It's all in your eyes

Cause I ain't happy man
'till I see you smile
'till I see the spark back in your eyes
And I can tell you why

As long as you're smiling
I'll hit a high

No sense in hiding
It's all in you eyes
No need to hide
You can't tell me lies
No sense in hiding
It's all in your eyes

What's the matter baby
What's the matter baby
What's the matter now
Cause I ain't happy Unless
I see you smile
Unless I see you smile

What's the matter man
What's the matter baby
What's the matter now
Cause I ain't happy
Unless I see you smile
Unless I see you smile

Together Alone
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

You grabbed my hand and twisted it, so you had your way
No need to compromise 'cause you'll find the right words to say,
and I'll give it half a chance

Alone together, all alone, together all alone

Alone no more, it's Wednesday night
Someone is gonna treat me right
No, not my man gets me this high
It's gonna be my neighbour at number 29

I think I'll pack my bags and I'll leave it all behind
I'm gonna leave it all behind
No need to compromise 'cause these are the right words to say
Give it half a chance

Alone together, all alone, together all alone

Alone no more, it's Wednesday night
Someone is gonna treat me right
No, not my man gets me this high
It's gonna be my neighbour at number 29

Alone no more, it's Wednesday night
Someone is gonna treat me right
No, not my man gets me this high
It's gonna be my neighbour at number 29

You know, I was talking to my neighbour at number 29
No, not my man, It's not my man who gets me high
You know it's funny,
Alone no more

The Other Side Of Me
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

Do I really want to know myself
Do I want to see
Why I'm wonderin' every morning, who's it gonna be today

Staring in the mirror, come tell me, who's that under my skin
And what's the reason they're here for
Tell me what is my own true face
Tell me what is my own true face

But hey here I come
I'm the show's main attraction
I'm a beautiful creature
That's what I am, yeah that's what I am

But the other side of me
I can't explain why I've become
Negative as can be
I'm wonderin' where it's coming from
I know I can't do without it, sure makes me what I am
So I will never stop believin'
In that I love myself someday
In that I love myself someday

But hey here I come
I'm the show's main attraction
I'm a beautiful creature
Yeah that's what I am, Hey that's what I am

Pictures On Your Skin
(F. Carillo)

There's gonna be a yellow moon tonight
Don't leave the light on
Beads of sweat running down my face
You can catch them with your tongue
Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every time you move

When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
Let me kiss the pictures on your skin

A pair of eyes that stare across the room watching you breathing
Magic signs scratched inside a heart
Filled with your name
Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every time you move

When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
Let me kiss the pictures on your skin

The reds, the blues, the greens and the greys
All bleed their colours through a sweaty haze
And we slide like a serpent on silky sheets and that twist and turn
Forever and ever and ever
Soft as a butterfly, stings like a bee
Soft as a butterfly, stings like a bee

Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every time you move

When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
Let me kiss the pictures on your skin

Fluid Conduction
(B. Hay / G. Kooymans)

I've been sleepin' all day
Slummin' all night in a 44 hour sedation
Since the day you cut me out of your life
The night I killed your patience

Always tried to lie to you
The truth is that I love you
I need you more than anything
Without you I discover, I'm a maniac and a menace
Headin' for destruction

Your lips, I miss your tears your hips your piss your blood
The way you function
Maybe I should thank some god for your amazing fluid conduction

It was max, the king of facts
He made me steal for your number
I promised not to tell on him
But you know me, I'm a sucker

Always tried to lie to you
The truth is that I love you
I need you more than anything
Without you I discover, I'm a maniac and a menace
Headin' for destruction

Your lips, I miss your tears your hips your piss your blood
The way you function
Maybe I should thank some god for your amazing fluid conduction
Your kiss, I miss your tears your fingertips my satisfaction
I swear that I could thank some god for your amazing fluid conduction

My Life
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

I'm gonna get out of my shell
Try without anybody's help
To loose this heavy load
And get my life back on the road

I've seen the worst when I was down
Only loneliness I found
Now I'm climbing to the top
And I ain't never gonna stop

I'll carry on, though the road is long
I'm gonna get myself together
And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong
Gonna try to make it better, baby

The rest of my life I'll take these chances
Time goes by so very fast
I'll share my fortune and my failure
'til there's nothing left

And if somewhere down the line
I'll find I'm running out of time
I hope to god that I can say
I made the best of every day

'Til then I'll carry on, 'though the road is long
I'm gonna get myself together
And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong
I'm gonna try to make it better, baby

The rest of my life I'll take these chances
Time goes by so very fast
I'll share my fortune and my failure
'til there's nothing left

It's A Shame
(A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen)

It's a shame, the rules change not the game
Such a shame, It's the same
Now everything is in vain
All in vain, it's such a shame

Could it be true, that there's nothing left to do
For me and you, can't be true
We all can't be such fools
Could life be so cruel
Could life be so cruel

Maybe, I don't even try fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a number on the line
Could you please tell me why
We're on the same line, and we're fallin' behind
on life

Life is great, I'm walking in the sun and everything is cool
Yeah it's true, there's so much we can do
It feels so right
Yeah, it's all right

Maybe, I don't even try fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a number on the line
Could you please tell me why

Baby, I don't even wanna try fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a number on the line
Could you please tell me why we're on the same line and
Fallin' behind
Fallin' behind on life

Time Is A Jailer
(F. Carillo)

No one can hear me, 'cause no one is around
But I still hear your whisper in the dark
I know I can go, I know I can leave when ever I please
But time is a jailer for me

A face in the window, looking inside
But no one else sees it, I know
And now that you've found that the years have changed
What the ending will be
Time's just a jailer for me

I shut out the light
Alone in the dark
This time of night
Is the hardest part

I still hear the sound of your heels on the floor
I wait for the sound of your key in the door
But it's only the sound of nothing at all and so it must be
That time is a jailer for me
Time's just a jailer for me

Break Down The Wall
(A. Teeuwe / S. Sardjoe)

Baby, why are you so sad
What’s the thing your running from
Caught in the red-light
As if money is cure

Is this your only way to survive
Are you trying to get even with the past
What happened to the dreams you had
I think it's time for you, to
Show them you are able
To leave without saying one word
I know it won't be easy, baby
But I will run with you

Cause every night has a day
Every wish a prayer
Don't loose your faith
And I'll be holding your hand
Cause it's never too late
There's someone who needs you

So break down that wall, baby
There's a new world out there waiting
Just tear down that wall girl
Run away and don't look back
Break down the wall
Break down that wall
There's someone who needs you

Lady, it's your turn now
Just walk the streets with your head up high
Oh, baby doesn't that feel right
Put a big smile on your face, walk on straight
Yeah, tell the motherfuckers they were wrong
Isn't this your sweetest revenge
Feels good he! I told you so

Cause every night has a day
Every wish a prayer
Don't loose your faith
And I'll be holding your hand
It's, never too late
There's someone who needs you

So break down that wall baby
There's a new world out there waiting
Just tear down that wall girl
Run away and don't look back
Just break down that wall
Break down that wall
There’s someone who needs you
