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

HET IS GUTSEND BLOED MET DE GODLOZE STANK VAN DOODSLAG.
