Ik begin alvast met deze :

"Walked out this Morning,
Don't Believe what I Saw
A Hundred Billion Bottles
Washed Upon a Shore
Seems I'm Not Alone
in Being Alone
A Hundred Billion Castaways
Looking For A Home..."

(Uit Message in a Bottle van The Police)

"Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die"

Velen zullen het kennen (of bekent voorkomen).

" There was a Woman in Georgia
She didn't feel just Right
She had Fever all Day an'Chills at Night
Now things got worse,
yes a serious bind
At times like This it takes a Man with such Style
like you cannot often find
A Doctor of the Heart and a Doctor of Mind

If you like Country with a Boogie'n Beat he's the Man to meet
If you like the Sound of shufflin' Feet he can't be beat
If you wanna feel real Nice, just ask the
Rock and Roll Doctor's advice

Two degrees in be-bop, a PHD in swing
He's the Master of rhythm he's a Rock and Roll King "

En dan vooral die laatste zin

het is natuurlijk 'Rock'n Roll Doctor' van Little Feat,
van het album "Feats Don't Fail Me Now"

"Ears shut eyes closed, in your mind you're running
Do your best to hide but the plague is coming
Be not deceived."

Path Of Resistance - Haunted.
Path of resistance heeft zoiezo erg sterke teksten

'This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end'


The End van The Doors.

I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in,
but if the sweat pours out, just shout I'll try to swim and pull you out.

The The - Uncertain Smile

Not everyone in new york would pay to see andrew lloyd webber
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown

Crowded House - Chocolate Cake

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

Small Faces - Itchycoo Park

Wouldn't it be nice to get on wiv me neighbours( da da da do)
But they make it very clear they've got no room for ravers
They stop me from groovin, they bang on me wall
They're doin me crust in it's no good at all

Here we all are sittin in a rainbow(da da da do)
Cor blimey hallo missus Jones hows your Berts lumbago?
I'll sing you a song with no words and no tune
I'll sing at your party while you suss out the moon, oh yeah

Lazy sunday afternoon, I got no mind to worry,
Close my eyes and drift away, Close my eyes and drift away,
Close my eyes and drift away

Small Faces - Lazy Sunday Afternoon


With my commitments in a mess my sleep has gone away depressed

The Move - Flowers in the Rain

Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear

[...]

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see janes awake -

Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat

Bij mij ook uit Famous Blue Raincoat

and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good, so I never tried.....

Underworld - Pearl's Girl

Rioja. rioja. Reverend Al Green.
Deep blue Morocco. the water on stone.
The water on concrete. the water on sand.
The water on fire. smoke.
The wind. the salt. the bride boat coming.
Dave in the water. old man.
Einstein on top of his house. white deep blue
Andalusia red yellow red yellow black car.
Red light. far. black place. walls. blue chair.
Morocco. Hamburg. Paris.
The pieces of the puzzle are waiting.
The water of the dark boats gliding.
The bride boats gone out to sea and
Dave is floating. Dave is floating.
And old man einstein crazy in his attic.
Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy......

Prachtig inderdaad.

Formidabel nummer, inderdaad !

Toen hij op geblaf van honden
dagen later werd gevonden
lang de blanke prins geschonden
in het koren zonder fee
met zijn dode grote ogen
keek hij roerloos naar omhoog
en langzaam ritselde zijn bloed nog
uit een gruwelijke snee...

Uit Kinderballade van Boudewijn de Groot.

They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot

They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em

Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi

What she said: I smoke cos I'm hoping for an early death, and I need to cling to something

The Smiths - What She Said

Don't ever get so attached to a poem, you forget truth that lacks lyricism

Joanna Newsom - En Gallop

If I do it with an ice pick, will I come back as a jock?
If I fast until starvation will I be born again a Christian?
I hear that death by burning means returning as a girl
But only by seppuku can I retain my virtue

Final Fantasy - I'm Afraid of Japan

You swam further out into the ocean.
I climbed higher in the tree,
At the top it started bending,
I swayed down to you in the sea.

The Microphones - Ocean 1, 2, 3

Dat zijn even de eerste die in me opkomen.

Tony, you’re a bit of a mess
Melted Toblerone under your dress
And if the boys could see you they would pass you right bye
Blue mascara running over your eye
When will you realise that it never pays
To be smarter than teachers
Smarter than most boys?
Shut your mouth, start kicking the football
Bang on the teeth, you’re off for a week boy

Belle and Sebastian - Lord Anthony

First we light up the fire
And then we hail our Lord
Two candles, a black and white
Are placed upon the altar
North, South, East and West
And so we clean the air
High priestess invoking the Devil
Infernal a names are spoken

Nog een favoriete strofe van mij. Wellicht zal niemand kennen van welke song ze komen. (Het fantastische album heft ook nog maar slechts 18 stemmen!)


Mercyful Fate - Come to the Sabbath

Am I to bid you farewell?
Why can't you see that I try
When every tear I shed
Is for you?


Opeth, To bid you farewell

I said, Kiss me, you're beautiful..
These are truly the last days

You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever

...

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death

I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood

Godspeed You Black Emperor! - The Dead Flag Blues

Pretend like its the weekend now
And we could pretend it all the time

..

We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough

Jack Johnson - Banana pancakes


A brand new baby was born yesterday
Just in time
Papa cried, baby cried
Said "Your tears are like mine"
I heard some words
From a friend on the phone
That didn't sound so good
The doctor gave him two weeks to live
I'd give him more if I could

Jack Johnson - If I could


Om te leven dacht ik je zou een vlinder moeten zijn
Om te vliegen heel ver weg van alle leven alle pijn
Maar ik heb niet langer hinder van jaloersheid op een vlinder
Want zelfs vlinders moeten sterven laat ik niet mijn vreugd bederven
Ik kan zonder vliegen leven
Wat zal ik nog langer geven
Om een vlinder die verdronken is in mei
Om te leven hoef ik echt geen vlinder meer te zijn

Boudewijn de Groot - Verdronken vlinder

Then thank God that Im as good as dead
Then thank your God that Im not aware
And thank God that I just dont care
And I guess I just dont know
And I guess I just dont know

Velvet Underground - Heroin

got me a movie
i want you to know
slicing up eyeballs
i want you to know
girlie so groovy
i want you to know
don't know about you
but i am un chien andalusia
wanna grow
up to be
be a debaser, debaser

got me a movie
ha ha ha ho
slicing up eyeballs
ha ha ha ho
girlie so groovie
ha ha ha ho
don't know about you
but i am un chien andalusia

Debaser - Pixies

.....
Make a joke and I will sigh
and you will laugh and I will die
Happiness I cannot feel
and love to me is so unreal.
......

My girlfriend says that I need help
My boyfriend says I'd be better of dead
I'm gonna get drunk
Come around and fuck you up (bis)
And you can't help my life
But you can hide the knives
.....

......
You can talk about the things that you say left me behind
While you lead me down dark alleys in the getto's of your mind
You've got that look upon your face
That I could never comprehend anyway
......

The boys know what you're givin
You give the boys such a lot of fun
By the way that you make a livin
You've got the boys all on the run
ST's showing, you really got me going
Tell me can you gimme a price?
I wanna try it, yeah I wanna buy it,
Tell me would you treat me nice
Oh my heart is breaking,
And my legs are shaking,
I'm just feeling like a boy
Now I just can't slow down
Gotta get in go down
Have my share of pride and joy

(De andere twee coupletten zijn net zo goed, maar het wordt een beetje te lang).

You are a moonchild
Pretty soon child
I've got a feeling that
I can make you smile forever
If I can
Show me your smile
and I'll show you my plan
.....
