You think you are a rebel
You think that you resist
You think you go against the flow
But you do what most people do
A railway sleeper
You think what most people think
You say what most people say
‘cause everyone is a rebel
A railway full of sleepers
A railway sleeper

A Happy Maroon
05:41
|
|||
|
Since my last
Relationship
I am a loner
A happy maroon
Now i am
Comfortable
Thanks to you
I like to be alone
I like the idea of you
More than to be with you
Thanks to you
I am a happy maroon
When I see you
I miss being alone
And when I’m alone
I miss you
But if I have to choose
I like the feeling
Pretty much
Of missing you
I like that feeling
More than feeling nothing
Your existence
Is more alive
In my head
Than in reality
I miss to be with someone
But that feeling is ok
I am feeling
Comfortable
When I’m feeling
Alone
So I am
A happy maroon
Yes, I am
A happy maroon

Two Ears For Stereo
03:48

Two ears for stereo
One to the left and one to the right
Why listening to music in mono
If we have two ears to listen in stereo
Put on your headphones and enjoy the
World of music in stereo
Do not exaggerate with surround systems
It’s so typical for hi-fi people
Just go lo-fi but in stereo
Don’t go hi-fi, too much sci-fi
Hi-fi lo-fi, hi-fi lo-fi, hi-fi lo-fi, hi-fi lo-fi
Two ears for stereo
One to the left and one to the right

Het was een kleine tafel in napelsgeel
Ik herinner mij het weer dat ik daar met jou zat
Nu ik weer in hetzelfde restaurant zit
Ik zat daar met jou en dacht ‘wat is die tafel mooi’
Het was onze eerste avond samen
Ik weet nog dat ik dacht ‘wat ben je mooi’
Een mooie napelsgele tafel
Dit is mijn herinnering aan de tafel
Het was een kleine tafel, perfect voor jou en mij
Ik nam toen jouw hand vast en stelde jou de vraag
‘Mijn liefste, weet jij waar die tafel van komt?’
Je zei ‘Ik weet het niet, maar het lijkt me Italiaanse stijl’
Ik zit hier nu weer aan een andere tafel
Ik kijk door het raam en zie een volle maan
Ik denk aan toen ik met jou aan die tafel zat
Mijn herinnering aan de tafel
Die nu bezet is door een ander paar

Painted Vases

I got a vase that you painted
In the corner of my room
A gift of love
A gift of mercy
You paint roses on empty vases
So breakable, just like you are
As empty as I am x4
Painted vases, painted vases
A gift of love
A gift of mercy
Painted vases, Painted vases
Red roses on empty vases
I want to thank you for your gift
It reminds me of your fragility
It embodies my emptiness
A vase as empty as my memories
A vase as empty as my memories
Painted vases, painted vases
A gift of love
A gift so painful

The Introvert

When Harry met you
He didn’t say very much
‘cause you went to see him
Unexpectedly
Harry doesn’t like
Surprises
He likes you
But he doesn’t know
How to
Express himself
He needs to think
About what he can say
That’s why he doesn’t like
Unexpected visitors
So you were
Disappointed
After leaving his house
But you don’t realise
That harry likes you
But he doesn’t know
How to express himself
Harry is still alone
He always misses the boat
People don’t
Get to know him very well
People don’t
Understand him very well
Harry is alone
Harry is alone
Harry is alone
Harry is alone

My Illuminated Hole
04:22

This is how we met, in the sunshine
On a sunny, sunny day
Somewhere in the valley, deep deep valley
We met in the deepness, deep deep deep
Where a sunbeam, beam me up
A ray of sunshine, ray of light
Could just reach us, reach out
In a valley of darkness, dark dark darkness
A ray of sunshine
Between the shadows
Of the rocks
In the valley
Where we’re stuck
But it’s a certainty, we know for sure
The night will fall, goodbye sunshine
And the last ray of light, disappears
In the deep valley, deep deep valley
We won’t be able to see, anything
We won’t be able to see, each other
But in the darkness
I’ll be able to touch you
To bring you, while groping
To my illuminated hole
Under the shadow of the rocks
My illuminated hole

Brand In De Rots
03:41
|
|||
|
Welkom in mijn grot
Ik maak een vuurtje voor jou
Zodat je geen koud krijgt
De rots in de branding
Het brandt in de rots
Ik krijg een slag van de knots
Mijn grot stond open voor jou
Maar je stak alles in brand
Ik was jouw steun en toeverlaat
Of dat was toch wat ik dacht
Ik wou jouw hartje verwarmen
Ik wou jou nemen in mijn armen
Het brandt in de rots
Ik krijg een slag van de knots
Mijn grot stond open voor jou
Maar jij liet mij in de kou
Ik was jouw steun en toeverlaat
Of dat was toch wat ik dacht
Maar in plaats van rots in de branding
Stookte je brand in mijn rots
Ik was een rots in de branding
Branden in de rots
Een rots in de branding
Branden in de rots

I'll Never Drink Again
03:51
|
|||
|
I don’t know how many times
I said this before
I know these were empty words
Hollow sentences for you
But now I really really know
This time is for real
I’ll never drink again
And yes it’s true, meanwhile
I left the bottle behind
And you changed your phone number
But that’s ok, I still can go on
I’ll never drink again

Stiff Leg Deadlift
03:56
|

|
I have stiff legs
Of excercising
Stiff leg
Deadlift
I can’t walk
I can’t sit
My legs as stiff
As pencils
Stiff leg deadlift
I wanted to have
Muscular arms
But now I have
Broken legs
I am impotent
Can’t have seks
With stiff legs
And a flaccid dick
Stiff leg deadlift
My girl had enough of it

Always the same
Over and over again
Always the same
Over and over
Over and over again
Constantly repeating like a parrot
Don’t you know any other words
Than goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Always the same
Over and over again
Always the same
Over and over
Over and over
again
Always the same, over and over again…

Die ochtend op het kabinet
Van de burgemeester
Stuurde hij mij een bericht
"Vandaag kom ik niet naar het stadhuis"
Want ik heb teveel liefdesverdriet
Mijn vriendin liet mij zitten voor de schepen van cultuur
Ik ga op vakantie naar Ibiza
Ik heb teveel verdriet om mijn onderdanen te dienen
Hou jij even een oogje in het zeil’
Ik vervang een burgemeester met liefdesverdriet
Een burgemeester met liefdesverdriet
Kan zijn volk niet leiden

En hiver il y’a parfois
Un petit oiseau
Derrière la fenêtre
Quand il fait noir dehors
Le petit oiseau
Derrière la fenêtre
Regarder à l’interieur
De ma maison
Il me regarde
Tout le temps
Que voudrait-il
Qu’en penserait-il
J’ouvre la fenêtre
Peut-être qu’il a froid
Il veut entrer
Mais ensuit il s’envole
Le petit oiseau
Derrière la fenêtre
Qu’en penserait-il
Quand il me regarde
Et il fait noir dehors
Et il fait froid dehors
Par la fenêtre
Je regarde dehors
Et peut-être
Le petit oiseau
Se demande
A quoi je pense
