Give me a break
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
You’re driving me mad with hanging around
You’re flirting with others I study the ground
I flush with fever when you touch my hand
You make me up, down, up, down, up, down
I run through the night dreaming my dream
You are my hero I am your queen
But when the sunlight destroys the film
I’m feeling up, down, up, down, up, down
The storm inside’s returning with the tide
Give me a break I need some time
To clean up this mess
My mind’s like a pigsty
Give me a break I need some time
There’s no solution, only confusion
Give me a break
I sail on the clouds and ride on the waves
Knowing I’m drowning, I’ll go down with grace’
But when I see you, my pride goes down the sink
You make me up, down, up, down, up, down
Give me a break I need some time
To clean up this mess
My mind’s like a pigsty
Give me a break I need some time
There’s no solution, only confusion
Give me a break
The storm inside’s returning with the tide
Give me a break I need some time
To clean up this mess
My mind’s like a pigsty
Give me a break I need some time
There’s no solution, only confusion
Give me a break
She's a star
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
She’s waiting for the train
The girl without a name
Dreaming of the beauty-queens, she’d seen in magazines
Oh… wouldn’t it be nice
Oh… to live in such a paradise
Displaying all her charms
To hot shots in bars
She finally had it made, between the sheets she made the grade
Ah… how wonderful to be
Ah… more glittering than a Christmas tree
She’s a star a phoney name in lights, she’s a star
She’s a star with all the starry rights
She’s fighting time
With make up and wine
Boasting ‘bout success, telling all she was the best
Uh… giving drinks for free
Uh… begging for some company
She’s a star a phoney name in lights, she’s a star
She’s a star with all the starry rights

A-kant: 'Take some pills'
B-kant: 'We keep going on'
Take some pills
Tekst en muziek: R. & A. Nodelijk
Staring out the window, going back to his youth
Things turned out so different, wondering what to do
The overcrowded city is getting on his nerves
Everyday is just the same he hates the world
Take some pills, you will feel better
Pain will disappear
Take some pills, you will feel better
No head-aches, no more fears
Waking up her husband in the middle of the night
Shivering her heart is pounding, she’s terrified
Colds and influenzas you can’t endure
Neurosis, psychosis, there’s a cure
Take some pills, you will feel better
Pain will disappear
Take some pills, you will feel better
No head-aches, no more fears
They will help you to survive
Certain industries will thrive
Believing all the nonsense advertisers claim
When will people realize health’s not for sale
We keep going on
Tekst en muziek: R. & A. Nodelijk
We can think, we’re the chosen few
Finest breed you’ll find in Mother Nature’s Zoo
Live our lives in hygienic nests
Buy our food in clean and shiny plastic bags
We keep going on
We keep going on
We keep going on, going on
Greedy hands touching furry skins
Giant pipes are sending signals in the wind
Dead birds float on an oily sea
What’s a bird to million dollar profits?
We’re the brightest of them all
We’re convinced that we can’t fall
We’re the brightest of them all
We keep going on
We keep going on
We keep going on, going on
Trees are cut, forests disappear
Chemicals are hidden when there’s no one near
Clever minds thought out clever toys
One big boom and bye, bye mother nature
We’re the brightest of them all
We’re convinced that we can’t fall
We’re the brightest of them all
We keep going on
We keep going on
We keep going on, keep going on

A-kant: 'Copper coloured skies'
B-kant: 'The stranger in me'
Copper coloured skies
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Life’s like roulette, where opposites collide
Nowhere to run to, nowhere you can hide
It cuts like a knife and turns you inside out
Makes you fly up high
Wish you might die
You were my anchor when I was at sea
Taught me to laugh at fears and let it be
I wish you were here to hold me once again
Feel your sweet caress
This emptiness
Copper coloured skies promised the moon
Darkness took control too soon
Copper coloured skies, gone is the glow
How was I to know
I miss you so
Helplessly holding on to memories
Trying to forget the sword of Damocles
Old destiny paved the way to deep despair
Will the pain subdue
How I miss you
(Life’s out of control
How was I supposed to know
Make me fly up high again
Wishing you were here to chase away this dark despair)
The stranger in me
Tekst en muziek: R. & A. Nodelijk
Stranger and I don’t get along
When I am weak, she’s ever so strong
When I say yes, she will say no
I want to stay and she wants to go
Think what I feel is not what she thinks
My heart says great, her mind says it stinks
Pity myself when I am sad
She’ll show no tears, in fact she gets mad
Never ever managed to make friends with her
The stranger in me, the stranger in me
We’re two in one, but worlds apart
We’ve disagreed right from the start
Why can’t I be simply one me
Stranger in me won’t you let me be
Never ever managed to make friends with her
The stranger in me, the stranger in me
