HOW SWEET

Music: B. van den Berg & K. Varekamp – Van der Lugt

Lyrics: K. Varekamp – Van der Lugt

They said to be patient – just to wait for it

I might be bait for whom I’ve never met in my life before
The doorbell rings and I am too eccentric to answer
I can’t stand hear the knocking. What is it they are looking for?
Oh..

It is not my time
It is not my time
It is not my time
It is not my time

They said to be patient – just to wait for it
Out came a mess right from the cluttered head and landed on my desk
The figments of an unborn song are swallowed by black ink
Genetically determined. By my chosen words, words, words
How sweet.

It is not my time
It is not my time

It is not my time
It is not my time

The telephone rings and I couldn’t see it coming down my eye…!
A hollow voice soaked in loneliness telling me I shall be fine…
The very minute. I am. Enslaved. Forced to. Make concessions.

How sweet the sweat still alone in my bed.
How sweet the sweat still alone in my bed.
How sweet the sweat still alone in my bed.
How sweet the sweat still alone in my bed.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Music: A. Elzer & K. Varekamp – Van der Lugt

Lyrics: K. Varekamp – Van der Lugt

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

WITH LOVING PARENTS AROUND YOU

IF YOU’RE LUCKY

DON’T LOOK SO SAD

THE ADULTS WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU

IF YOU’RE LUCKY

THE POLICE MEN ARE NICE

THE MEDICS IN THE AMBULANCE AS WELL

IF YOU’RE LUCKY

NO ONE’S GONNA HURT THEM

IF THEY’RE LUCKY

WITNESSES SEE NOTHING

EVERYBODY’S LAUGHING

THE POWERLESSNESS IS

BEING ENCOURAGED

YOU’LL CATCH THE BLOWS

BUT I LOVE YOU

BE YOU, STAY YOU.

I’LL STAY WITH YOU

BE YOU BECAUSE YOU’RE EVERYTHING

SHINE

WHAT I WOULD DO

TO STAND UP FOR YOU

DOESN’T MAKE ME ANY BETTER

IT’S ABOUT YOU

NOT ABOUT ME

MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL

WITHIN LEGISLATION

INJUSTICE REIGNS SUPREME

CHILDREN SUFFER

BUT NO ONE’S GONNA HURT YOU

NO ONE WANTS TO HURT YOU

NO ONE WANTS TO HURT YOU

WITNESSES SEE NOTHING

EVERYBODY’S LAUGHING

THE POWERLESSNESS IS

BEING ENCOURAGED

YOU’LL CATCH THE BLOWS

BUT I LOVE YOU

BE YOU, STAY YOU.

I’LL STAY WITH YOU

BE YOU BECAUSE YOU’RE EVERYTHING

SHINE

Memory Lane

Music: A. Elzer & K. Varekamp – Van der Lugt

Lyrics: K. Varekamp – Van der Lugt

Your girlfriend told me she’ll never be good enough for you

She looked away and I was afraid to say anything

I might disturb what was never there.

Every day I wait for the train it’s routine now

Looking at a big flat screen on a badly colored moldy wall

Thoughts…They carry me to previously I seemed to know…!

I walked beside you when the sky was falling down

On cloudy days you had your ways to entertain me

You meant so well, under a clear sky.

Then I look around and all I see are bad things

On cloudy days I feel betrayed by a ray of sunlight

It tries to entertain what’s left of my heart.

All the things you taught me were wiped out as easily as they break down old houses

Their stories are telling me too: “…Walk on to Abbey Road..”

Thoughts…are closing down Memory Lane and I still remain…!

I walked beside you when the sky was falling down

On cloudy days you had your ways to entertain me

You meant it well and yet so over me now.

Then I look around and all I see are bad things

On cloudy days I feel betrayed by a ray of sunlight

It tries to play with what’s left of my heart.

SANCTUARY

Music: A Elzer & K. Varekamp – Van der Lugt

Lyrics: K. Varekamp – Van der Lugt

Cold and down

Must I feel

Lost and shocked

In the heart of the storm

The frightening oncoming surge

The battle still to the fore

Numb, cold and down

Is there something wrong with me?

When I try

To fall asleep

A feeling of eternity

Under heavenly light

Cold and down, down, down, down, ooh…

Then I see the children laughing

And playing in the sea, I wonder

Who will hear the fathers, the mothers

Despite their tears and years from now?

So cold, so cold

So down I shouldn’t be so down so down so down.

The Omen

Music: A Elzer & K. Varekamp – Van der Lugt

Lyrics: K. Varekamp – Van der Lugt

The most famous man in the world is Einstein

I believe in what he knew, in what he saw and aware of the fact

He is one of yours

When Schindler died he was a brave man and wise

Men earn a great deal of respect in their time

They did what they had to do

You had them

If you had them you matched them

Terrified and we sacrificed love

Over nothing

Nothing can take you away from me

Still I don’t want to know

Did I ever tell you my story

I don’t want to know

Wer kann sonst offen sein

Ohne einfach zu erzählen wie wir sind und was wir tun

Soon you just want to know

If I ever tell you my story

You don’t need to know

It never occurred to me that you’re

The only fun I had

Until you’re gone

NODELOOS. HET IS DOODSLAG.

NODELOOS.

DOODSLAG.
