You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain

I laughed that love cause I thought it was funny
You came along and moved me honey
I change my mind, this love is fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
Kiss me baby, ooh, it feels good
Hold me, baby, well, I want to love you
Like a lover should
You're fine, you’re so kind
I like to tell the world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine
I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous but it sure is fun
Come on baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
Memphis Tennessee
Tekst en muziek: C. Berry
Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
help me find the party tryin´ to get in touch with me
He would not leave her number but I know who placed the call
Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me information, get in touch with my dear Keith
He´s the only one who’d phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
His home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
just a half a mile from the Missisippi bridge
Help me information more than that I can not add
only that I miss him and all the fun we had,
but we were pulled apart because his mom did not agree
and tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
Last time I saw my Keith he’s waving me goodbye
with hurry-home-drops on his cheek that trickled from his eye
Keith is only 6 years old so information please
try to put me through to him in Memphis Tennessee
Roll over Beethoven
Tekst en muziek: C. Berry
I’m gonna write a little letter,
Gonna send it to my local dj
Yes, it’s a rockin’ little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

And the jukebox blowing a fuse
My heart’s beatin’ rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin’ the blues
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news
I got a rockin’ pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I’ve got the rollin’ arthiritis
Sittin’ down by the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven they’re rockin’ in two by two
Well, if you feel you like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it over then move on up just
A trifle further and reel and rock with one another,
Roll over Beethoven they’re rockin’ in two by two
Well, early in the mornin’ and I’m a-givin’ you my warnin’
Don’t you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin’ my fiddle,
Ain’t got nothin’ to lose
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news
You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
Dances like a spinnin’ top
She’s got a crazy partner,
You oughta see him reel and rock
As long as she’s got a dime the music will never stop
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues
Heartbreak hotel
Tekst en muziek: M. Axton, T. Durden & E. Presley
Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell
Down at the end of lonely street
at Heartbreak Hotel where I’ll be
I get there so lonely baby,
Well I’m so lonely,
I get there so lonely I could die
Although it's always crowded,
you still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
to cry away their gloom, oooh
They get there so lonely baby,
Well they’re so lonely,
They get there so lonely they could die
Well, Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
Desk clerks dressed in black
Well they’ve been so long on lonely street
They’ll never ever come back now
They’ll be there so lonely baby,
Well they’re so lonely,
They’ll be there so lonely they could die
Now, if your baby leaves you,
and you’ve got a tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down lonely street
to Heartbreak Hotel
He’ll get there so lonely baby,
Well he’s so lonely,
He’ll get there so lonely he could die
Sweet nothin's
Tekst en muziek: R. Self
Ah ha, honey

My baby whispers in my ear
Oooh, Sweet Nothin's
He knows the things I like to hear
Oooh, Sweet Nothin's

No particular place to go
Tekst en muziek: C. Berry
Riding along in my automobile
My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
My curiosity running wild
Cruising and playing the radio
With no particular place to go
Riding along in my automobile
I was anxious to tell him the way I feel
So I told him softly and sincere
And she leaned and whispered in his ear
Cuddling more driving slow
With no particular place to go
No particular place to go
So we parked way out on the cocamo
The night was young and the moon was gold
So we both decided to take a stroll
Can you imagine the way I felt?
I couldn’t unfasten my safety belt
Riding along in my calaboose
Still trying to get my belt unloose
All the way home I held a grudge
For the safety belt that wouldn’t budge
Cruising and playing the radio
With no particular place to go
A whole lotta shakin' goin' on
Tekst en muziek: D. Williams & S. David
Come on over baby,

Dry Your tears
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
I stayed at home all through the day
I didn’t feel like going out
I wondered what the hell to say
To you what it was all about
I know my love is dying
There is no use in lying
I know my love is dying
There is no use in lying
Please try to face the truth for once
Our love affair just turned out bad
We’ve done our best through all these months
Let’s end it now, else we’ll regret
I know you’re very willing
Our love is far from thrilling
I know you’re very willing
Our love is far from thrilling
Come dry your tears, don’t make a scene
We were in love but that’s all gone
Forget this sentimental dream
And don’t look back, you’ll get along
Well so long pall, won’t see you soon
I hope you’ll find your way alone
So many girls beneath the moon
Just help yourself, don’t start to moan
Farewell my pretty lover
I’m going to find another
Farewell my pretty lover
I’m going to find another
Lay Me Down
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
We’re in the mood for some love, I taste it
Come to my side, give your love, don’t waste it
Lay me down, on the ground
Lay me down. Let’s share some love, lay down
Just for tonight I am yours, all yours, boy
Bring in the wine, I feel fine, you’re mine, boy
Lay me down, on the ground
Lay me down. Let’s share some love, lay down
Let’s share some love, lay down
I like to fly, don’t be shy, it’s alright now
Make love to me, babe, you and me, don’t hide now
Lay me down, on the ground
Lay me down. Let’s share some love, lay down
Pahdahpah-pahdahdum-pahdahpah-pahdadum-pahdahpahpow (2x)
Lay me down, let’s share some love lay down (2x)
Pahdahpah-pahdahdum-pahdahpah-pahdadum-pahdahpahpow (2x)
Sad Man
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Sad man, where have you been going, you been going, in nowhere land
Sad man, all that you have seen, you have seen, fades in your stare
Sad man, older than the world, you have lived your weary life
Sad man, take a look at me, look at me, you gave me life
Sad man, I know you are hurt. Many things you’ve never tried
Sad man, running down the road. Why not lift your head up high?
Don’t need to cry, you still have some time
Leave out the lies, love you for yourself
Sad man, you are not alone, not alone, I’m on your side
Sad man, running down the road. Why not lift your head up high?
Just One Look
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Just one look at you
Again I hesitate
Just one smile from you
I know I’m going to stay
I feel like I’m trapped
I don’t know what to do
Just can’t leave you now
I’m scared of hurting you
Why are you so sweet?
It’s hard to bear
Hoped our love would meet
It’s so unfair
Just one smile is enough
To reveal all the love you conceal
Just one smile, just one look
And I know that I could never leave
Just one look
Lying next to you
My brains perform their job
Staring at your face
You’re everything I got
It's Absurd
Tekst en muziek: R. & A. Nodelijk
I wake up and feel a certain kind of despair
I turn round and pull the sheet over my head
Cause I don’t wanna see
The day breaks and bleeding clouds spill tears on the ground
Tall trees sigh; they bow their heads, wondering why
I paint the day so sad
Suddenly you and I seem unreal
Shattered dreams, tragic scene
Love is all, so they say
It’s a game people play
What the hell is it worth?
It’s absurd
You wake up and I pretend to be fast asleep
You turn round, and stroke my hair, whispering words
That I can’t bear to hear
Suddenly you and I seem unreal
Shattered dreams, tragic scene
Love is all, so they say
It’s a game people play
What the hell is it worth?
It’s absurd
Jimmy
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Jimmy you are strange
Play with toys made for boys
Jimmy shut your mouth
Stop this game… It’s in vain
Jimmy is grieved
Said to be bad
Mommy please see, ah
Jimmy’s leaving home
He is ill doctors will
Take good care of him
Change his mind, he’ll be fine
Jimmy is grieved
Said to be ill
Doctors please see, ah
Jim, Jen, Jim, Jen, Jim etc.
Don’t let them rape your mind
Jimmy’s back in town
Works at night doesn’t hide
Dreams he had for years
He’s the queen of the scene
Jimmy is pleased
Said to be good
Now they all see, ah Jim, Jen, Jim, Jen etc.
Don’t let them rape your mind
Jenny’s name was Jim
She’s a girl of the world
Jenny feels at ease
Can at last be herself
Jimmy has died
Needn’t be sad
Jenny’s alive, ah
Jim, Jen, Jim, Jen etc.

Change Your Style
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
We’re going round in circles
Everything has been said
Going on would be murder
My love’s alive don’t you fret
I was down now I’m up
Don’t you dare to speak or I will scream and give up
You’ve been lying all this time
I forgive you baby but certify
You're gonna change your style
I don’t want explanations
Cause they’ll be insincere
And stop your lamentations
I never asked you for your tears
You were up now you’re down
You beware I know my vengeance’s sneaking around
You’ve been lying all this time I forgive you baby but certify
You're gonna change your style
Reaching For The Sky
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
The clouds attack the sunlight
And leaves softly weep
The rain’s silvery rivers
Run down my cheek
I love the pitter patter
I love the pitter patter of the rain
The rhythm of the raindrops
Inviting me to dance
Watching the sparkling diamonds
Gently kiss my hands
I love the pitter patter
I love the pitter patter
I look around and hear the sound
It brings back the child reaching for the sky
I look around and hear the sound
It brings back the child reaching for the sky
I bathe in nature’s bathroom
And time fades away
The rumble of the jungle
Telling me fairy tales
I love the pitter patter
I love the pitter patter
Stranded Lady
Tekst en muziek: R. & A. Nodelijk
Stranded lady what is wrong
Why this mad embittered look
Stranded lady you have made it
He did what you said he should do
Stranded lady stop this nagging
A waste of time to fuss and fight
Stranded lady it’s all gone
Makes no difference how hard you try
Dear save your tears
You just can’t bear to see
He’s happy as can be
Ha ha it’s over, ha ha ha it’s his turn to laugh not yours
Ha ha it’s over
It ain’t no use to cry
Stranded lady keep in mind
You’re the one who slammed the door
Stranded lady don’t get angry
When that’s what he’s thanking you for
Dear save your tears
You just can’t bear to see
He’s happy as can be
Ha ha it’s over, ha ha ha it’s his turn to laugh not yours
Ha ha it’s over
t ain’t no use to cry

High Time He Went
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
He gets up early and takes a shower
Looks at his watch cause it takes him an hour
To reach the office where work is waiting
Every day’s like the one before
High time he went, high time he went
No time for dreams now, high time he went
Looks in the mirror, he’s getting older
Studying his grey hair. Life will soon be over
At nearly forty to start a new life
Wouldn’t that be worth a try
High time he went, high time he went
No time for dreams, it’s high time he went
His mind is denying the fire
That’s burning within, softly yearning
His mind is denying the fire
That’s burning within, softly yearning
Picks up his car keys. Leaves in a hurry.
Watching the wipers wash away his worries
Follows his instinct, leads him to nowhere
Maybe tomorrow he’ll find the way
High time he went, high time he went
No time for dreams, it’s high time he went
His mind is denying the fire
That’s burning within, softly yearning
His mind is denying the fire
That’s burning within, softly yearning
High time, no time

Now And Then
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Now and then
Let me make a mess of it all
Just let me be depressed
Impossible, insane... now
And then
Let me be a child playing games
Not knowing what to say
Pretending to be proud
Now and then let me be a nuisance
Just smile at the times I run wild
Now and then let me hate myself
For what's locked inside
Can't be denied
What's in me, now and then
Na na na na na, etc.
Let me be alone for a while
Wandering off at night
When there's the urge to search
Now and then let me be a nuisance
Just smile at the times I run wild
Now and then let me hate myself
For what's locked inside
Can't be denied
What's in me, now and then
Let me be a bitch 'cause you know
That what I really feel
Mere words can not convey
Na na na na na, etc.
The Future None Can See
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Wonder where we’re going to
There’s so little we can do
Pleading with some stubborn guys
Who protect their giant lies
The future none can see
They’re saying let it be
Boasting about their intellect
Suppositions posed as facts
Telling all it’s what we need
Else the communists will lead
The future none can see
They’re saying let it be
I just don’t understand
Are we too blind to see
Prestige turns out to be the enemy
We’re insane
Will the children of today
Outlive the monsters we create
Leaving them no remedy
In a world of fallacy
The future none can see
They’re saying let it be
I just don’t understand
Are we too blind to see
Prestige turns out to be the enemy
We’re insane
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
Seventeen
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
She will not mess around she’s decent, just fine
Her hair in curls, her eyes in colours… Just right
Seventeen nearly a woman
Waiting for her day to come
Dreaming of her knight in armour
Will she ever reach the sun?
She has a date the boy next door seems all right
Dancing all night and drinking red wine, real wild
Seventeen nearly a woman screamed for help but those who came
Finished off what had been started, laughing at their helpless prey
They brutally had raped
She will not mess around she’s safe now, just fine
She lives on pills, her friends in white are all right
Seventeen nearly a woman, hiding from reality
Locked the door and made her entrance into a world of fantasy
Then threw away the key
By The By
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Time has done its work
All she can do is play the fool
No one will hear her words
Cause they’re all living by the rules
A mother like all others
She’s bound to be a bore
A cat a house a husband
She shouldn’t ask for more
Her husband reads the paper
She’s staring at the clock
Soon he will be leaving
He likes to go out for a walk
But will not take her with him
He says she walks too slow
And now and then a man needs to be left alone
By the by, would you agree to such a life
By the by, did you sense the silent grief
Won’t somebody stop to see
Will she survive, will she break down while she’s hiding her needs
There’s little left to like in life
There’s little left to like in life
Her children have their children
They don’t need her anymore
Except for baby-sitting
Then they’ll come bursting through the door
A granny and a housewife
A mother and a drudge
They wear her out, use her up
Still she bears no grudge
By the by, would you agree to such a life
By the by, did you sense the silent grief
Won’t somebody stop to see
Will she survive, will she break down while she’s hiding her needs
There’s little left to like in life
There’s little left to like in life
You're A Liar
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
You're a liar, a cheat, when you say you know
You're a liar, a cheat, when you say you'll show
How to cope with life
Armed with words
You holler till you're heard
Frightened birds
You promise to remove their hurt
You're a liar, a cheat, people come your way
Ruining their minds
Hollow dolls - you are as truthful as the devil -
They bow when you call - make them believe you're philanthropic -
Empty halls - your head up high acting the prophet -
But cries are heard inside the walls
Sing it out
Your answer to their sadness and pain
Sing it out
That's all you got to say
Sing it out
The dollar signs engraved in your eyes
Growing fatter everyday
You're a liar, a cheat, master of deceit
You're a liar, a cheat, but your lies ain't cheap
Squeezing till they bleed
Gold still shines - you are as truthful as the devil -
And greed is in your eyes - make them believe you're phillanthropic
-
You'll be kind - your head up high acting the prophet -
When money's rolling in on time
Sing it out, etc.
Can't Live My Life
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Why can’t I control my feelings
Lock them out
Peace of mind is all I long for
Count me out
What am I searching for
Life’s not an open door
Why can’t I live my life
Lost inside it’s like a jungle
I’ve made mistakes
Drowning in all sorts of questions
Need a break
My head can take no more
I cry out on the floor
Don’t wanna live my life
It is my life
What can I do with my life
Can’t live my life
What’s to become of my life
Cut the chains, I need my freedom
I can’t breathe
Give me light and chase off darkness
Just for once let me see
Show me there’s good in all
Teach me to climb and fall
Why can’t I live my life
It is my life
What can I do with my life
Can’t live my life
What’s to become of my life
Love's Just A Season
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
The sun is shining
Displaying all the things we once shared
I can’t get used to it
All seems so hostile, Jesus I am scared
Back on my own, once more alone
Where am I going?
Why can’t I find the cure end the strain?
I saw your girlfriend
She’s very nice I felt a raving pain
And all the whys possessed my mind
There’s nothing to claim
And no one to blame
And there’s really no reason
Love’s just a season
I touch your pillow
And play records you loved to hear
Go through our photographs
All that is left, the love we shared for years
Has died in you, I’m dying too
Go To Sleep
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Go to sleep my precious one
There’s another day to come
The stars are shining bright
The night is full of light
Darling go to sleep
Hush now, don’t you weep
Bobby bear is at your side, hold him tight
Happy dreams are on their way, take your flight
Till the morning light
Close your eyes and dry your tears
Put aside your silly fears
The night is always kind
It’s there to rest your mind
Darling go to sleep
Hush now, don’t you weep
Bobby bear is at your side, hold him tight
Happy dreams are on their way, take your flight
Till the morning light

Sometimes You Cry
Tekst en muziek: R. & A. Nodelijk
I’d been alone for quite a while
I’d found my way
I was free, happy me
The spoons were where the spoons should go
No man around, I could cry without a ‘why?’
Love’s understanding, love’s so demanding
Inside a convincing voice chased my arguments, I had no choice
Two in love means dreams for two
And two in bath, two in bed,
Two are sad
You never wonder whether it will stay this way
Him and you, always two
Sometimes you cry
You’re in a hell
Sometimes you cry, together in a cell
Sometimes you cry
It’s paradise, it’s love, fighting, having fun
Two in one
The forks are where the spoons should go
And I go mad, yell at him,
He just grins
I cuddle up beside him in our big warm bed,
Watch him sleep, love’s grown deep
Love’s understanding, love’s so demanding
Inside a convincing voice chased my arguments, I had no choice
Sometimes you cry
You’re in a hell
Sometimes you cry, together in a cell
Sometimes you cry
It’s paradise, it’s love, fighting, having fun
Two in one
Sometimes you’ll be crying I feel like I’m trapped
Then again begging him: won’t you come back?
Come Closer
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Everything you like - come closer
Will come into sight - come closer
Yes closer
Come closer come my way
And let your bodies sway
I will make you fly - come closer
Shooh bee do bee dah - H
Shooh bee do bee dah - E - R
Shooh bee do bee dah - O - I
Shooh bee do bee dah - N
Images appear - come closer
You don’t have to fear - come closer
Oh, no sir
You’re low, sir, it’s just fun
Your mind is on the run
Why not be a dear - come closer
Shooh bee do bee dah - H
Shooh bee do bee dah - E - R
Shooh bee do bee dah - O - I
Shooh bee do bee dah - N
It’s a remedy - come closer
To all misery - come closer
Yes closer
Come closer I’ll be kind, I’ll slowly make you mine
Money’s all you need - come closer
High Time He Went
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
He gets up early and takes a shower
Looks at his watch cause it takes him an hour
To reach the office where work is waiting
Every day’s like the one before
High time he went, high time he went
No time for dreams now, high time he went
Looks in the mirror, he’s getting older
Studying his grey hair. Life will soon be over
At nearly forty to start a new life
Wouldn’t that be worth a try
High time he went, high time he went
No time for dreams, it’s high time he went
His mind is denying the fire
That’s burning within, softly yearning
His mind is denying the fire
That’s burning within, softly yearning
Picks up his car keys. Leaves in a hurry.
Watching the wipers wash away his worries
Follows his instinct, leads him to nowhere
Maybe tomorrow he’ll find the way
High time he went, high time he went
No time for dreams, it’s high time he went
His mind is denying the fire
That’s burning within, softly yearning
His mind is denying the fire
That’s burning within, softly yearning
High time, no time
High time, high
High time, no time
High time
Jimmy
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Jimmy you are strange
Play with toys made for boys
Jimmy shut your mouth
Stop this game… It’s in vain
Jimmy is grieved
Said to be bad
Mommy please see, ah
Jimmy’s leaving home
He is ill doctors will
Take good care of him
Change his mind, he’ll be fine
Jimmy is grieved
Said to be ill
Doctors please see, ah
Jim, Jen, Jim, Jen, Jim etc.
Don’t let them rape your mind
Jimmy’s back in town
Works at night doesn’t hide
Dreams he had for years
He’s the queen of the scene
Jimmy is pleased
Said to be good
Now they all see, ah
Jim, Jen, Jim, Jen etc.
Don’t let them rape your mind
Jenny’s name was Jim
She’s a girl of the world
Jenny feels at ease
Can at last be herself
Jimmy has died
Needn’t be sad
Jenny’s alive, ah
Jim, Jen, Jim, Jen etc.

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
Idle Lines
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Heard you talking to your friends
Love means trying to understand
Telling others what to do
Being loyal, being true
Idle lines, idle lines,
Where were you when they were hurt?
Idle lines, idle lines,
Where were you when they were hurt?
They sat listening to your cries and sighs
Helping you when they could
They came to you every time you called
Doing it all for you
Idle lines, idle lines,
Where were you when they were hurt?
Idle lines, idle lines,
Where were you when they were hurt?
You left them standing in the rain
They needed you
You never came
You left them standing in the rain
They needed you
You never came
You know exactly what words to choose
As long as rules don’t apply to you
Sad Man
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Sad man, where have you been going, you been going, in nowhere land
Sad man, all that you have seen, you have seen, fades in your stare
Sad man, older than the world, you have lived your weary life
Sad man, take a look at me, look at me, you gave me life
Sad man, I know you are hurt. Many things you’ve never tried
Sad man, running down the road. Why not lift your head up high?
Don’t need to cry, you still have some time
Leave out the lies, love you for yourself
Sad man, you are not alone, not alone, I’m on your side
Sad man, running down the road. Why not lift your head up high?
Lay Me Down
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
We’re in the mood for some love, I taste it
Come to my side, give your love, don’t waste it
Lay me down, on the ground
Lay me down. Let’s share some love, lay down
Just for tonight I am yours, all yours, boy
Bring in the wine, I feel fine, you’re mine, boy
Lay me down, on the ground
Lay me down. Let’s share some love, lay down
Let’s share some love, lay down
I like to fly, don’t be shy, it’s alright now
Make love to me, babe, you and me, don’t hide now
Lay me down, on the ground
Lay me down. Let’s share some love, lay down
Pahdahpah-pahdahdum-pahdahpah-pahdadum-pahdahpahpow (2x)
Lay me down, let’s share some love lay down (2x)
Pahdahpah-pahdahdum-pahdahpah-pahdadum-pahdahpahpow (2x)
Running Out Of Time
Tekst en muziek: R.& A. Nodelijk
Hear the weeping whales
The waves are telling monstrous tales
Hear the howling wind
Collect the cries of death it brings
See you’ve bought some fish
Gonna make yourself a tasty dish
Don’t wanna spoil your appetite
Fish can be dynamite
Running out of time and out of ways
Choosing to believe we’re not to blame
Running out of time, running out of hope, running out of time
We’re so neat and clean We dump our garbage in the sea
We just sit and wait
Delaying things till it’s too late
See you’ve bought some fish
Gonna make yourself a tasty dish
Don’t wanna spoil your appetite
Fish can be dynamite
Running out of time and out of ways
Choosing to believe we’re not to blame
Running out of time, running out of hope, running out of time
