"Here And There"

"Here And There"


Here and there
Here and there
Here and there
Here and there

Holland’s not just a place to grow tulips
Empty houses can grow into homes
“Tu me manqué” means in French that I miss you
“Savner dig” means the same but I am cold
It means the same but I am cold
I am cold

If I learned German with you in Brussels,
Would I be a citizen of your world?
Here they’re fighting for use of a language
In my country they are fighting to survive
They are fighting to survive, to survive

Here and there
Here and there
Here and there
Here and there

“Ik mis je” means in Flemish that I miss you,
But that we are worlds apart
Who needs a wall, when words can divide us?
“Savner dig” means I miss you all the same
It means I miss you and I’m to blame
I’m to blame
I’m to blame

Here and there
Here and there
Here and there
Here and there

"How To Find True Love And Happiness In The Present Day"

"How To Find True Love And Happiness In The Present Day"


Once I knew a man in love with money
He said it solved his worries and his cares
The one day
I heard him say
Something I hear everywhere

Once I knew a man in love with power
He bought a uniform and he kept it clean
Then one day
I heard him say
There's something he's never seen

Tell him how to find true love and happiness
In the present day
Tell him how to find true love and happiness
In the present day

Then I know a girl in love with living
Didn't like to stay in one place long
Then one day
I heard her say
She'd discovered something's wrong

Tell her how to find true love and happiness
In the present day
Tell her how to find true love and happiness
In the present day

[Repeat]

Tell him how to find true love and happiness
In the present day [X3]

"I Don't Agree"

"I Don't Agree"


I've got a bee in my bonn
You haven't been straight with me
And now you're talking 'bout bombs
And now you want to do things to me

You say you're the good guy
But you sound just like the bad one
Well I think I´d like to disagree
Without you coming hard on me

I don't agree however well you put it
I don't agree I think you better prove it
I don't agree how ever much you ham it
I don't agree I just will not permit it
I'd like to disagree
If that's ok with you
I'd like to disagree

I think there's something to discuss
I could say I'm uneasy
There could be problems with us
If passion ends up freezing

You say you're the good guy
But you sound just like the bad one
Well I think I'd like to disagree
Without you coming hard on me

I don't agree however well you put it
I don't agree I think you better prove it
I don't agree how ever much you ham it
I don't agree I just will not permit it
I'd like to disagree
If that's ok with you
I'd like to disagree

I've got a bee in my bonn.

"I Feel Like A Wog"

"I Feel Like A Wog"


I feel like a wog people giving me the eyes
But I was born here just like you
I feel like a wog
Got all the dirt shitty jobs
But everybody's got to have something to do with their time

I feel like a wog
I don't wanna go home
I've got a lot of life to run through
I feel like a wog
I don't mean you no harm
Just don't ask me to shine your shoes

Golly gee: Golly gosh
Don't call me your Golly Wog
Golly gee: Golly gosh
Don't call me your Golly Wog

Let me tell you about Pimpo
We met him down at the After Eight
He wanted to sell us some limbo
But we said mister
You've just got to wait
You've got to wait [x3]

He wanted to take us down to Sao Paulo
But we said mister
We ain't got no bread
I tried to make him laugh
But he didnt get the joke
And then he said I wasnt right in the head
And then he made me [x3]
And then he made me feel
And then he made me feel like [x3]
You know I feel like [x3]
You know I feel like a wog

"I Hate You"

"I Hate You"


I hate you now, I always will
And when you're dead I'll hate you still
I'll have my way, I'll make you pay
And I don't care if you suffer 'cos I know that it will surely make my day

You betrayed my trust, you ate my food
You soiled my house with your falsehood
Signs of remorse I ain't seen one
And no punishment you suffer
Will satisfy me until I have won

Oh how enjoyable, to see you squirm and wriggle now
That things ain't going your way
Oh how simply wonderful, to see you suffer badly
Now I think this dog will surely have its day (I'll have my way)

If you're infirm or merely ill
I'll be right there, in for the kill
Delicious treats which I'll enjoy
And I won't be just the only one to savour your discomfort
Oh what joy

Oh how enjoyable, to see you squirm and wriggle now
That things ain't going your way
Oh how simply wonderful, to see you suffer badly
Now I think this dog will surely have his day (I'll have my day)

I hate you now, I always will
And when you're dead I'll hate you still
I'll hate you forever, even longer than that
I'll hate you longer than radioactivity

"Ice"

"Ice"


Die like cherry blossom
Hagakure with perfume
Deadly with make up on
But it just won't do

I have ice instead of heartburn
She has ice on her fingers
We have ice in the oven
But it just won't do

If there's no reason for your words
Then your silence ain't absurd
If there's no reason for your breathing
Then it just won't do

There is ice in my vision
There is ice always in season
I want cold air not your treason
It won't do

Hagakure with perfume
Hagakure with perfume
Hagakure with perfume
Hagakure with perfume
Hagakure with perfume
Hagakure with perfume
Hagakure with perfume
Hagakure with perfume

"Ice Queen"

"Ice Queen"


I was never sure of the accurate score
When I sat in for a hand with the Ice Queen
It was just a game with a noble name
When I sat in for a hand with the Ice Queen
I didn't have time, the aces weren't mine
I knew the stakes were high
She started melting, when I was dealt in
I thought I'd just go along for the ride

I was never sure of the accurate score
When I sat in for a hand with the Ice Queen
Cards were laid and the hand was played
When I sat in for a hand with the Ice Queen
I didn't play fair, I was beyond care
The stakes were getting high
She started melting, when I was dealt in
I thought I'd just go along for the ride
I thought I'd just go along for the ride

I knew the Ice Queen
I knew the Ice Queen

I was never sure of the accurate score
When I sat in for a hand with the Ice Queen
One day I'd win and the next I'd lose
When I sat in for the blues with the Ice Queen
I didn't play fair, I was beyond care
The stakes were getting high
She started melting, when I was dealt in
I thought I'd just go along for the ride

I knew the Ice Queen
I knew the Ice Queen

I knew the Ice Queen
I knew the Ice Queen

"In A While"

"In A While"


It's 45 in the shade
This fire can't escape
Losing sleep in my dreams
Coldsweat I'm somewhere in between
Someday soon I'll find the strength to lose
Then I'll find the wisdom of the fool
And make some sense of it all

Slipped under the ice
Cool death it made me shiver
Pretty soon I'll be free
Won't have to rule over all I see

I don't want to fight the world
I only came to see it
Not a day tripper
Just let me stay, just let me stay

Don't wanna piece your scene
But this blood gotta hook me in
Last drinks at the bar
And all the way doesn't seem too far

Sometime soon you'll find the strength to lose
Spread your wings and someday you will choose

Your making sense of it all

I don't want to fight world
I only came to see it
Not a day tripper
Just let me stay
Don't let me fake it, I want to stay

I don't want to fight the world

"In Heaven She Walks"

"In Heaven She Walks"


I always seem to meet you in such unexpected places
In scenes that drift together with some strange attraction
Your style is always painted on a world of faces
I'll always look for you in unexpected places

I can't deny the perfect kind
And we'll always be bound to be lost
In heaven she walks
In heaven she walks
In heaven she walks
In heaven she walks

I always dreamed to meet you in such unexpected places
We seem to shift together with some strange reaction
Your smile is almost wasted on a world of basics
I'll always look for you in unexpected places

Who can deny the perfect find
Cause I'll always be chained to her tracks
These virtual lines disturb my eyes
But I'll always be lost in her thoughts
In heaven she walks
In heaven she walks
Thank heaven she walks
In heaven she walks
In heaven she walks
In heaven she walks.
