Four Margeurita's

 

 

 

four

 

 margeurita's out of place

 

four Margeurita's playin' a rough game

 

four Margeurita's makin' damn sure

 

it's

 

the end of the line, for some fool

 

 

four margeurita's

 

lendin' a shoulder, ye shouldn't rely on

 

takin' ye up to number nine

 

four Margeurita's takin' their time

 

leavin' you with nothin'to your name

 

and if you resist get you in a twist, up to where you

 

won't excist

 

 

a tag to your toe is a reminder

 

how

 

four Margeurita's took you home

 

 

an' yes, they're out here, in the streets

 

four margeurita's

 

a

 

piece

 

 

charming you if they can

 

right in to their arms, with a smothering calmness

 

might you wanna resist, get your neck in a twist

 

up

 

to where you can't excist

 

a

 

tag

 

to your toe is a small reminder

 

how

 

four Margeurita's took you home 

 

 

layin' in to you skinnin' your bones

 

gettin' a permanent rest

 

in

 

a

 

New York City flower bed

Eyes the face

 

 

 

 

 

there's

 

a

 

 

 face

 

 

it can only excist with eyes that live

 

that

 

see inside the thoughts they hide

 

 

the

 

fear that's there,  love enough to share

 

it

 

casts coldness in despair

 

it's all in the eyes, maybe not much

 

but's it's all they've got

 

 

so

 

it is eyes can be tamed

 

eyes can be made to mate, eyes can destruct if must

 

eyes can turn insane

 

if

 

jealousy is the hurt

 

eyes can scream wild

 

for what they want, and didn't get

 

eyes can be bad

 

 

it's all in the eyes, might not be much

 

but

 

the eyes make it a lot

 

 

eyes,

 

the

 

face

 

express anger, laughter, sadness, badness

 

almost anything at will

 

love for life, a pain inside

 

show the fear

 

 

it's all in the eyes, maybe not much

 

but

 

it's

 

what they've got

Acte de présence

 

 

soms

 

keert een onverwacht vertrek

 

vanuit

 

het niets in al z'n vervreemding terug

 

 

maar

 

de vreemdeling ziet het tot een niets verworden iets

 

niet

 

 

een

 

hartslag geeft acte de présence

 

en

 

breekt dan af bij het wat eens was

 

(c)  JR

achteloos

ik

 

vecht er voor, voor

 

die aandacht die is mijn

 

en...

 

 

zij neemt mij mee op

 

die

 

reis naar de rand van haar emoties

 

in

 

de coulissen va haar geest

 

 

en...

 

 

ik  neem haar mee, zij vecht er voor

 

voor die aandacht die is mijn

 

 

we

 

gaan er voor, voor

 

 

die

 

aandacht in elkaar

Colour me white

colour

me

white

 

'cause I'm innocent

 

don''t pretend I'm special

 

all I wanna do is make this world

 

a

little  bit better

 

colour me white, colour me bright

 

'cause

 

I think I'm right

 

 

colour me white, 'cause I'm innocent

 

to what this world came to

 

it needs a change

 

I'll show you what I can do

 

it will take more than two

 

just follow me

 

 

don't hesitate, change must come, as it allwuays has done

 

colour me white, 'cause I'm innocent

 

to what has been done

 

 

startin' with us there's a way

 

when the time is right, change will come over night

 

colour me white, colour me bright

 

so change with me, a new day's comin'

 

colour me white

'Cause you're a stranger

 

 

 

 

 

you

 

drifted in to town, makin' noises

 

bein' loud

 

pollutin' our vieuw, bleedin' over our streets

 

loókin' in to windows

 

breakin' in to our privacy

 

is

 

one thing we don't need

 

what we need is you , makin' tracks into

 

eternity

 

 

so take your garbage

 

to the next train that leaves

 

we

 

don't want you to know, how we lay, live an' die

 

'cause your kind is rough, 'cause your kind is tough

 

we

 

don't want you about, 'cause you're a stranger

 

your eyes might see too much

 

we

 

have ways, you don't think of, they are ours

 

ones we'll keep

 

you

 

wouldn;t understand, you wouldn't like what you see

 

so

 

get out of this town

 

we

 

don't want you about

 

'cause

 

you're a stranger

an Ace

 

 

 

 

 

 

we

 

all have our hopes , desires an' dreams

 

hardly any of them

 

get to be real

 

 

actually

 

we don't mind

 

we've got lots of time

 

we'll just be waitin' for it to happen

 

sometimes an ace is dealt

 

thing's does it help

 

 

someday

 

a dream comes true, a desire is met

 

hope is fullfilled

 

we know we have to wait, might take a day

 

 

there's a lot of hope goin' round

 

it just has to be found

 

from it we can take, day by day

 

an ace is dealt, can we make it pay

 

 

we all have our hopes, desires an' dreams

 

hardly any of them get to be real, but when they do

 

our hearts get a lift, we take a drink,  with a twist

 

 

and

 

life is twice that easy to

 

live
