[Verse 1]

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me

I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her

Thumb in the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running

Didn’t make sense not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see

So what's wrong with taking the back streets

You'll never know if you don't go

You'll never shine if you don't glow

[Chorus]

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid

And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars break the mold

[Verse 2]

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder

You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older

But the meteor men beg to differ

Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin

The waters getting warm so you might as well swim

My world's on fire how about yours

That's the way I like it and I never get bored

[Chorus]

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid

all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars break the mold

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid

And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars

[Verse 3]

Somebody once asked, could I spare some change for gas

I need to get myself away from this place

I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself

And we could all use a little change

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running

Didn't make sense not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see

So what's wrong with taking the back streets

You'll never know if you don't go, go

You'll never shine if you don't glow

[Chorus]

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid

And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars break the mold

Angels – Robbie Williams (1997)

[Verse 1]

I sit and wait

Does an angel contemplate my fate

And do they know the places where we go

When we’re grey and old

’cos I have been told

That salvation lets their wings unfold

So when I’m lying in my bed

Thoughts running through my head

And I feel that love is dead

I’m loving angels instead

[Chorus]

And through it all she offers me protection

A lot of love and affection

Whether I’m right or wrong

And down the waterfall

Wherever it may take me

I know that life won’t break me

When I come to call she won’t forsake me

I’m loving angels instead

[Verse 2]

When I’m feeling weak

And my pain walks down a one way street

I look above

And I know I’ll always be blessed with love

And as the feeling grows

She breathes flesh to my bones

And when love is dead

I’m loving angels instead

[Chorus]

And through it all she offers me protection

A lot of love and affection

Whether I’m right or wrong

And down the waterfall

Wherever it may take me

I know that life won’t break me

When I come to call she won’t forsake me

I’m loving angels instead

[Solo]

[Chorus]

And through it all she offers me protection

A lot of love and affection

Whether I’m right or wrong

And down the waterfall

Wherever it may take me

I know that life won’t break me

When I come to call she won’t forsake me

I’m loving angels instead

Breakfast at Tiffany’s – Deep Blue Something (1995)

[Intro]

[Verse]

You'll say, we've got nothing in common

No common ground to start from

And we're falling apart

You'll say, the world has come between us

Our lives have come between us

Still I know you just don't care

[Chorus]

And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's

She said I think I remember the film

And as I recall I think we both kind of liked it

And I said well that's the one thing we've got

[Solo]

[Verse]

I see you, the only one who knew me

And now your eyes see through me

I guess I was wrong

So what now, it's plain to see we're over

And I hate when things are over

When so much is left undone

[Chorus]

And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's

she said I think I remember the film

And as I recall I think we both kind of liked it

and I said well that's the one thing we've got

[Verse]

You'll say, we've got nothing in common

No common ground to start from

and we're falling apart

You'll say, the world has come between us

Our lives have come between us

still I know you just don't care

[Chorus]

And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's

She said I think I remember the film

And as I recall I think we both kind of liked it

And I said well that's the one thing we've got

[Solo]

[Chorus]

And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's

She said I think I remember the film

And as I recall I think we both kind of liked it

And I said well that's the one thing we've got

[Solo]

California Dreamin' – The Mamas & the Papas (1965)

[Verse 1]

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)

And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)

I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)

On a winter's day (on a winter's day)

I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)

If I was in LA (if I was in LA)

[Chorus]

California dreamin' (California dreamin')

On such a winter's day

[Verse 2]

Stopped in to a church

I passed along the way

Well I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)

And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)

You know the preacher likes the cold (preacher likes the cold)

He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)

[Chorus]

California dreamin' (California dreamin')

On such a winter's day

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)

And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)

I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)

On a winter's day (on a winter's day)

If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her)

I could leave today (I could leave today)

[Outro]

California dreamin' (California dreamin')

On such a winter's day (California dreamin')

On such a winter's day (California dreamin')

On such a winter’s day

De vlieger – André Hazes (1977)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

M'n zoon was gist'ren jarig, hij werd acht jaar oud, m’n schat

Hij vroeg aan mij een vlieger en die heeft hij ook gehad

Naar z'n bal, zijn fiets, zijn treinen, nee, daar keek hij niet naar om

Want zijn vlieger was hem alles, alleen wist ik niet waarom

[Verse 2]

En toen de andere morgen zei hij: vader ga je mee

De wind die is nu gunstig, dus ik neem mijn vlieger mee

In z'n ene hand een vlieger, in de andere een brief

Ik kon hem niet begrijpen, maar toen zei mijn zoontje lief

[Chorus 1]

Ik heb hier een brief voor mijn moeder

Die hoog in de hemel is

Deze brief bind ik vast aan mijn vlieger

Tot zij hem ontvangt, zij die ik mis

En als zij dan leest hoeveel ik van haar hou

Dat ik niet kan wennen aan die andere vrouw

Ik heb hier een brief voor mijn moeder

Die hoog in de hemel is

[Chorus 2: gesproken]

Ik heb hier een brief voor mijn moeder

Die hoog in de hemel is

Deze brief bind ik vast aan mijn vlieger

Tot zij hem ontvangt, zij die ik mis

[End-chorus -> modulatie!]

Ik heb hier een brief voor mijn moeder

Die hoog in de hemel is

Deze brief bind ik vast aan mijn vlieger

Tot zij hem ontvangt, zij die ik mis

En als zij dan leest hoeveel ik van haar hou

Dat ik niet kan wennen aan die andere vrouw

Ik heb hier een brief voor mijn moeder

Die hoog in de hemel is

Don’t stop believin’ – Journey (1981)

[Intro]

[Verse]

Just a small town girl

Living in a lonely world

She took the midnight train

Going anywhere

Just a city boy

Born and raised in South Detroit

He took the midnight train

Going anywhere

[Interlude]

[Verse]

A singer in a smoky room

The smell of wine and cheap perfume

For a smile they can share the night

It goes on and on and on and on

[Bridge]

Strangers waiting up and down the boulevard

Their shadows searching in the night

Streetlights, people, living just to find emotion

Hiding somewhere in the night

[Interlude]

[Verse]

Working hard to get my fill

Everybody wants a thrill

Paying anything to roll the dice

Just one more time

Some will win, some will lose

Some were born to sing the blues

Oh, the movie never ends

It goes on and on and on and on

[Bridge]

Strangers waiting up and down the boulevard

Their shadows searching in the night

Streetlights, people, living just to find emotion

Hiding somewhere in the night

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]

Don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling

Streetlight, people, oh oh oh

Don't stop believing, hold oooooon

Streetlight, people, oh oh oh

Don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling

Streetlight, people, oh oh oh

[Fade out]

Euphoria – Loreen (2012)

[Verse]

Why, why can't this moment last forevermore?

Tonight, tonight eternity's an open door

No, don't ever stop doing the things you do

Don't go, in every breath I take I'm breathing you

[Chorus]

Euphoria

Forever, 'till the end of time

From now on, only you and I

We're going up-up-up-up-up-uhup

Euphoria

An everlasting piece of art

A beating love within my heart

We're going up-up-up-up-up-uhup

[Verse]

We are here, we're all alone in our own universe

We are free, where everything's allowed and love comes first

Forever and ever together, we sail into infinity

We're higher and higher and higher, we're reaching for divinity

[Chorus]

Euphoria

Forever, 'till the end of time

From now on, only you and I

We're going up-up-up-up-up-uhup

Euphoria

An everlasting piece of art

A beating love within my heart

We're going up-up-up-up-up-uhup

[Bridge]

Forever we sail into infinity

We're higher, we're reaching for divinity

Euphoria...

Euphoria

We're going up-up-up-up-up-uhup

[Chorus]

Euphoria

An everlasting piece of art

A beating love within my heart

We're going up-up-up-up-up-uhup

Euphoria...

Euphoria

We're going up-up-up-up-up-uhup

Even aan mijn moeder vragen – Bloem (1980)

[Intro]

Blonde haren, blauwe ogen

Uit een sprookjesboek geslopen

Kwam ze voor m'n raampje staan en zei

"Graag een kaartje van 5 gulden"

Voor de film van vanavond"

Ik vroeg: Waarom ga je niet met mij?

En dit is wat ze zei:

[Chorus]

Even aan mijn moeder vragen

Ik zweer je dat ze dat zei

Ze lachte d'r niet eens bij

Even aan mijn moeder vragen

Dat is toch uit de tijd meid

Je kunt het ook aan mij kwijt

[Prechorus]

En ze keek me aan

't Was meteen gedaan vanaf toen

Alles voor een zoen

[Chorus]

Even aan mijn moeder vragen

Ik zweer je dat ze dat zei

Ze lachte d'r niet eens bij

Even aan mijn moeder vragen

Dat is toch uit de tijd meid

Je kunt het ook aan mij kwijt

[Solo]

[Bridge]

Nou, dat kom je maar weinig tegen

Zo'n juffrouw verdient alle zegen

Ik dacht dat het was uitgestorven

Maar ik heb een afspraak voor morgen

Ze moet ook al voor twaalven thuis zijn

Maar dat zal me een grote zorg zijn

Annemarie, Annemarie

Ze drinkt enkel maar limonade

Die ik dan voor haar mag gaan halen

Sigaretten die vindt ze smerig

Popmuziek kan ze niet waarderen

Elke deur hou ik voor haar open

Ik ga zelfs met haar hondje lopen

Annemarie, Annemarie

[Chorus]

Even aan mijn moeder vragen

Ik zweer je dat ze dat zei

Ze lachte d'r niet eens bij

Even aan mijn moeder vragen

Dat is toch uit de tijd meid

Je kunt het ook aan mij kwijt

Friday I’m in love – The Cure (1992)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I don't care if Monday's blue

Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too

Thursday I don't care about you

It's Friday I'm in love

[Verse 2]

Monday you can fall apart

Tuesday Wednesday break my heart

Thursday doesn't even start

It's Friday I'm in love

[Chorus]

Saturday wait, and Sunday always comes too late

But Friday never hesitate...

[Verse 3]

I don't care if Monday’s black

Tuesday Wednesday heart attack

Thursday never looking back

It's Friday I'm in love

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]

Monday you can hold your head

Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed

Or Thursday watch the walls instead

It's Friday I'm in love

[Chorus]

Saturday wait, and Sunday always comes too late

But Friday never hesitate...

[Bridge]

Dressed up to the eyes, it's a wonderful surprise

To see your shoes and your spirits rise

Throwing out your frown and just smiling at the sound

And as sleek as a shriek spinning round and round

Always take a big bite, it's such a gorgeous sight

To see you eat in the middle of the night

You can never get enough, enough of this stuff

It's Friday I'm in love

[Repeat Verse 1]

I don't care if Monday's blue

Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too

Thursday I don't care about you

It's Friday I'm in love

[Repeat Verse 2]

Monday you can fall apart

Tuesday Wednesday break my heart

Thursday doesn't even start

It's Friday I'm in love

[Outro]

Good riddance – Green Day (1997)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road,

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test and don't ask why

It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

[Chorus]

It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right

I hope you had the time of your life

[Verse 2]

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind

Hang them on a shelf, in good health and good time

Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

For what it's worth it was worth all the while

[Chorus]

It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right

I hope you had the time of your life

[Chorus]

It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right

I hope you had the time of your life

Hallelujah – Leonard Cohen (1984)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing hallelujah

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 2]

Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 3]

Baby, I've been here before

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

But love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 4]

Well, there was a time when you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show that to me do you

But remember when I moved in you

And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was hallelujah

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 5]

Well, maybe there's a god above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

It's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[Outro]

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu...

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu...

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah

Helplessly Hoping – Crosby, Stills & Nash (1969)

[Verse 1]

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby, awaiting a word

Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs wishing he could fly

only to trip at the sound of goodbye

[Verse 2]

Wordlessly watching he waits by the window

and wonders at the empty place inside

Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams

he worries did he hear a goodbye or even hello?

[Chorus]

They are one person, they are two alone, they are three together

They are for each other

[Verse 3]

Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain

to tell you confusion has its cost

Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers,

saying she is lost and choking on hello

[Chorus]

They are one person, they are two alone, they are three together

They are for each other

Het is een nacht – Guus Meeuwis & Vagant (1996)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Je vraagt of ik zin heb in een sigaret

Het is twee uur 's nachts, we liggen op bed

In een hotel in een stad, waar niemand ons hoort

waar niemand ons kent en niemand ons stoort

Op de vloer ligt een lege fles wijn

En kledingstukken die van jou of mij kunnen zijn

Een schemering, de radio zacht

En deze nacht heeft alles wat ik van een nacht verwacht

[Chorus]

Het is een nacht, die je normaal alleen in films ziet

Het is een nacht, die wordt bezongen in het mooiste lied

Het is een nacht waarvan ik dacht dat ik hem nooit beleven zou

maar vannacht beleef ik hem met jou

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

Ik ben nog wakker en ik staar naar het plafond

en ik denk aan hoe de dag lang geleden begon

Het zomaar ervandoor gaan met jou,

niet wetend waar de reis eindigen zou

Nu lig ik hier in een wildvreemde stad

en heb net de nacht van mijn leven gehad

Maar helaas er komt weer licht door de ramen

Hoewel voor ons de wereld vannacht heeft stil gestaan

[Chorus]

Het is een nacht, die je normaal alleen in films ziet

Het is een nacht, die wordt bezongen in het mooiste lied

Het is een nacht waarvan ik dacht dat ik hem -- nooit beleven zou

maar vannacht beleef ik hem met jou

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]

Maar een lied blijft slechts bij woorden

een film is in scène gezet

Maar deze nacht met jou

is levensecht

[Chorus]

Het is een nacht, die je normaal alleen in films ziet

Het is een nacht, die wordt bezongen in het mooiste lied

Het is een nacht waarvan ik dacht dat ik hem -- nooit beleven zou

maar vannacht beleef ik hem met jou

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Ja vannacht beleef ik hem met jou

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

En ik hou alleen nog maar van jou

Oh, oh, oh, oh

En ik hou alleen nog maar van jou

Het regent zonnestralen – Acda en De Munnik (1998)

[Intro]

[Verse]

Op een terras ergens in Frankrijk in de zon

Zit een man die het tot gisteren nooit won

Maar zijn auto vloog hier vlakbij uit de bocht

Zonder hem, zonder Herman, want die had hem net verkocht

Herman in de zon op het terras

Leest in 't AD dat 'ie niet meer in leven was

Zijn auto was volledig afgebrand

En de man die hem gekocht had, stond onder zijn naam in de krant

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh, even rustig ademhalen

Oh, oh, oh, 't lijkt of het regent als altijd

Maar het regent, en het regent zonnestralen

[Verse]

Een week geleden, in een park in Amsterdam

Had hij zijn leven overzien en schrok zich lam

Hij was een man wiens leven nu al was bepaald

En van al zijn jongensdromen was alleen het oud worden gehaald

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh, even rustig ademhalen

Oh, oh, oh, 't lijkt of het regent als altijd

Maar het regent, en het regent zonnestralen

[Bridge]

Op een bankje in het park kwam het besluit

Noem het dapper, noem het vluchten maar ik knijp er tussenuit

Nu een week geleden en hier zat hij dan maar weer

Met meer vrijheid dan hem lief was en nu wist hij het niet meer

[Verse]

Herman leest wel honderd keer de krant

Het staat er echt, pagina achttien, zwartomrand

Hield 'ie vroeger al zijn meningen en al zijn dromen stil

Nu was 'ie niks niet niemand nergens meer

Kan dus gaan waar 'ie maar wil

Herman rekent af en staat dan op

Hij heeft eindelijk de wind weer in zijn kop

“Ik heb een tweede kans gekregen en da's meer dan ik verdien

Maar als dit het is is dit het

als dit het is is dit het

als dit het is is dit het en we zullen het wel zien”

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh, even rustig ademhalen

Oh, oh, oh, 't lijkt of het regent als altijd

Maar het regent, en het regent zonnestralen

Oh, oh, oh, even rustig ademhalen

Oh, oh, oh, 't lijkt of het regent als altijd

Maar het regent, en het regent zonnestralen

en het regent zonnestralen

Hey Jude – The Beatles (1968)

[Verse 1]

Hey Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her into your heart

and then you can start to make it better

[Verse 2]

Hey Jude, don't be afraid

You were made to  go out and get her

The minute you let her under your skin

then you begin to make it better

[Chorus]

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool

by making his world a little colder

[Interlude]

Na na na na na na na na naa

[Verse 3]

Hey Jude, don't let me down

You have found her, now go and get her

Remember to let her into you heart

then you can start to make it better

[Chorus]

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin

You're waiting for someone to perform with

And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do

The movement you need is on your shoulders

[Interlude]

Na na na na na na na na naa (yeah)

[Verse 4]

Hey Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her under your skin

and then you'll begin to make it better, better, better, better, better, better, ahhhhhh!

[Outro ?x]

Na na na na na na na

Hotel California – The Eagles (1976)

[Intro]

[Verse]

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself

This could be heaven or this could be hell

Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor,

I thought I heard them say

[Chorus]

Welcome to the Hotel California.

Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year, (any time of year) You can find it here

[Verse]

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes bends

She got a lot of pretty pretty boys   she calls friends

How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969

and still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say

[Chorus]

Welcome to the Hotel California.

Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face

They're livin' it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis

[Verse]

Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)

We are all just prisoners here, of our own device

and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

"Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive

You can check out any time you like

But you can never leave

[Outro Solo]

I’ll be there for you – The Rembrandts (1995)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

So no one told you life was gonna be this way

Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.

[Pre-chorus]

It's like you're always stuck in second gear

When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month

Or even your year, but

[Chorus]

I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour

I'll be there for you, like I've been there before

I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too

[Verse 2]

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight

You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great

[Pre-chorus]

Your mother warned you there'd be days like these

Oh but she didn't tell you when the world has brought

You down to your knees that

[Chorus]

I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour

I'll be there for you, like I've been there before

I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too

[Bridge]

No one could ever know me

No one could ever see me

Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me

Someone to face the day with

Make it through all the rest with

Someone I'll always laugh with

Even at my worst I'm best with you

[Solo]

[Pre-chorus]

It's like you're always stuck in second gear

When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month

Or even your year - but

[Chorus]

I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour

I'll be there for you, like I've been there before

I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too

I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too

I’m a believer – The Monkees (1966)

[Verse]

I thought love was only true in fairy tales

Meant for someone else but not for me

Love was out to get me

That's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all my dreams

[Chorus]

Then I saw her face,

Now I'm a believer

Not a trace

Of doubt in my mind

I'm in love   (mmm ooooh)

I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried

[Verse]

I thought love was more or less a given thing

Seems the more I gave the less I got

What's the use in tryin'?

All you get is pain

When I needed sunshine I got rain

[Chorus]

Then I saw her face

Now I'm a believer

Not a trace

Of doubt in my mind

I'm in love   (mmm ooooh)

I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried

[Instrumental]

[Verse]

Love was out to get me

That's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all my dreams

[Chorus]

Then I saw her face

Now I'm a believer

Not a trace

Of doubt in my mind

I'm in love   (mmm ooooh)

I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried

[Outro]

Yes, I saw her face

Now I'm a believer

Not a trace

Of doubt in my mind

Said I'm a believer

I'm a believer

Said I'm a believer (I'm a believer)

Said I'm a believer (I'm a believer)

In die grote stad Zaltbommel (traditional, ±1930)

In die grote stad Zaltbommel, bommel

Heerste grote watersnood

En zo menig arme drommel, drommel

Die niet zwemmen kon ging dood

[Refrein]

En te midden van die rommel, rommel

Dreef de torenspits van Bi-Ba-Bommel

En te midden van die rommel, rommel

Dreef de torenspits in 't rond

Op een vlot van houten planken, planken

Zat een grote herdershond

Zo erbarmelijk te janken, janken

Omdat hij zijn baas niet vond

Refrein

Een matroos met houten benen, benen

En een rode zwembroek aan

Zat als een klein kind te wenen, wenen

Want zijn schip dat was vergaan

Refrein

't Was afgrijselijk te aanschouwen, schouwen

Hoe beroofd van haar korset

Een boerin uit Henegouwen, gouwen

Aan kwam drijven op haar vet

Refrein

In een mand met verse broodjes, broodjes

Dreef des bakkers jongste kind

Zwaaide met zijn blote pootjes, pootjes

En stonk uren in de wind

Refrein

Op een vloer met nog wat planken, planken

Dreef de doopsgezinde school

Jongens hingen uit de banken

Lapten 't leren aan hun zool

Refrein

In een Ford met lekke banden, banden

Zat een rijke kruidenier

Tussen zijn verkleumde handen, handen

Klemde hij een heel vat bier

Refrein

Een chinees met lange haren, haren

Op zijn rug een linnen zak

Viste met machinegaren, garen

Sinaasappels en tabak

Refrein

Op een ton met houten banden, banden

Zat een brouwer dik en fier

Hij wreef juichend in zijn handen, handen

Hij had nu water voor zijn bier

Refrein

Een heel regiment soldaten, daten

En 'n eskader van de vloot

Wierpen blindelings granaten, naten

En ze zopen zich haast dood

Refrein

De twee zoontjes van de koster, koster

Zaten op het kerkedak

Samen stekelbaars te vangen, vangen

In de kerkcollectezak

Refrein

Ironic – Alanis Morissette (1996)

[Verse]

An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery and died the next day

It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay

It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late

Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think

[Chorus]

It’s like rain on your wedding day

It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid

It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take

Who would’ve thought it figures

[Verse]

Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

And as the plane crashed down he thought

"Well isn’t this nice"

And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think

[Chorus]

It’s like rain on your wedding day

It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid

It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take

Who would’ve thought it figures

[Bridge]

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right

And life has a funny way of helping you out when

You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

[Verse]

A traffic jam when you’re already late

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

It’s meeting the man of my dreams

And then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn’t it ironic don’t you think

A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

[Chorus]

It’s like rain on your wedding day

It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid

It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take

Who would’ve thought it figures

[Outro]

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out

Helping you out

I want it that way – Backstreet Boys (1999)

[Intro]

[Verse]

You are my fire

The one desire

Believe when I say, I want it that way

But we are two worlds apart

Can't reach to your heart

When you say that I want it that way

[Chorus]

Tell me why (ain't nothin' but a heartache)

Tell me why (ain't nothin' but a mistake)

Tell me why (I never wanna hear you say)

Your one desire

Yes I know, it's too late

But I want it that way

[Chorus]

Tell me why (ain't nothin' but a heartache)

Tell me why (ain't nothin' but a mistake)

Tell me why (I never wanna hear you say)

I want it that way

[Bridge]

Now I can see that we're falling apart

From the way that it used to be, yeah

No matter the distance I want you to know

That deep down inside of me...

[Verse (semi-a capella)]

You are my fire

The one desire

You are (you are, you are, you are)

Don't wanna hear you

[Chorus]

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

[Chorus]

Tell me why (ain't nothin' but a heartache)

Tell me why (ain't nothin' but a mistake)

Tell me why (I never wanna hear you say)

I want it that way

Tell me why (ain't nothin' but a heartache)

Tell me why (ain't nothin' but a mistake)

Tell me why (I never wanna hear you say)

I want it that way

Cause I want it that way

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you, please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him just because you can

Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summer rain

And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

[Verse]

There's nothing I can do to keep

From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand

How you could easily take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you, please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him just because you can

But I could never love again

He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you

My happiness depends on you

And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

[Chorus]

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you, please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him even though you can

[Chorus]

Layla

Got me on my knees, Layla

I'm beggin' darling please, Layla

Let it be – The Beatles (1970)

[Verse 1]

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let it be

[Chorus]

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it go – Frozen (2013)

[Intro]

[Verse]

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight

Not a footprint to be seen

A kingdom of isolation

And it looks like I'm the queen

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't let them in, don't let them see

Be the good girl you always have to be

Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

Well, now they know

[Chorus]

Let it go, let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go

Turn away and slam the door

I don't care what they're going to say

Let the storm rage on

The cold never bothered me anyway

[Instrumental]

[Verse]

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small

And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all

[Pre-Chorus]

It's time to see what I can do

To test the limits and break through

No right, no wrong, no rules for me

I'm free

[Chorus]

Let it go, let it go

I am one with the wind and sky

Let it go, let it go

You'll never see me cry

Here I stand and here I'll stay

Let the storm rage on

[Bridge]

My power flurries through the air into the ground

My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around

And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast

I'm never going back, the past is in the past

[Chorus]

Let it go, let it go

And I'll rise like the break of dawn

Let it go, let it go

That perfect girl is gone

Here I stand in the light of day

Let the storm rage on

The cold never bothered me anyway

Mooi man – Mannenkoor Karrespoor (1991)

[Verse 1]

Wij benn'n de boertjes van het platteland

Wij houden van het leven met een biertje in de hand.

En as 't werk gedoan is op de boerderij

Goan we 's avonds noar de kroeg want dan benn'n we vrij

[Chorus]

Ja dat is mooi, mooi, mooi man

Het leven dat is één groot feest

Mooi, mooi, mooi man

Zoep'n as een grote en tekeer goan as 'n beest

[Verse 2]

We trekk'n aan de belle, onze tonge is as leer

We drinken dan een pilsie, en proat'n wat over 't weer

Dan neem'n we nog drie lesten, en goan dan snel noar huus

En benn'n zo as gewoonlijk tegen melkenstied weer thuus

[Chorus]

Ja dat is mooi, mooi, mooi man

Het leven dat is één groot feest

Mooi, mooi, mooi man

Zoep'n as een grote en tekeer goan as 'n beest.

[Verse 3]

's Morgens word ik wakker en denk schiet mij maar lek

Pien in de harses, en een dreuge bek

Stap ik op de trekker, scheur wat heen en weer

Heur ik op de radio ditzelfde deuntje weer

[Chorus]

Ja dat is mooi, mooi, mooi man

Het leven dat is één groot feest

Mooi, mooi, mooi man

Zoep'n as een grote en tekeer goan as 'n beest

[Verse 4]

Hooien, melken, gieren, dat doen wij met veul lol

Maar Braks met al zien quota's, die maakte 't echt te dol

De natuur het milieu, dat goat ons aan het hart

Dus drink'n we alleen maar het zuivere gerstenat

[Chorus – met meestampen!]

Ja dat is mooi, mooi, mooi man

Het leven dat is één groot feest

Mooi, mooi, mooi man

Zoep'n as een grote en tekeer goan as 'n beest

Het leven dat is één groot feest

Mooi, mooi, mooi man

Zoep'n as een grote en tekeer goan as 'n beest

Zoep'n as een grote en tekeer goan as 'n beest

Niet of nooit geweest – Acda & De Munnik (1998)

[Intro]

[Verse]

Ik zie twee mensen op het strand, vlakbij het water hand in hand

De zon zakt, ze zwijgen van geluk

Ik ken haar net want dat bij jij, ze lacht naar hem hij lijkt op mij

Maar dat kan niet, want ik maak alles stuk

Ik kan die jongen toch niet zijn, die rust die liefde niks voor mij

Maar waarom lijkt het, dan toch zo vertrouwd

Ik heb je lief, zoals je ziet, maar ergens klopt er hier iets niet

Ik draag een ring maar, ik heb jou nooit getrouwd

[Chorus]

Ik ben mezelf niet of al die jaren nooit geweest

Ik ben de gangmaker op het verkeerde feest

Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest

Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest

[Verse]

Ik zie twee mensen, ze gaan staan, ze draait zich om we moeten gaan

Kijk in d’r ogen zie dezelfde pijn

Twee mensen eerder al verbonden, al die verliefdheid wat een zonde

Ze zijn het allebei maar willen het niet zijn

[Chorus]

Ik ben mezelf niet of al die jaren nooit geweest

Ik ben de schoenmaker bij de verkeerde leest

Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest

Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest

[Bridge]

Oh laat het de zon zijn, laat het de zon zijn,

Oh laat het het strand zijn

Laat het de zee zijn

Laat mij iets doen nu waardoor je mij nooit meer wil zien

Oh laat het het zout zijn, laat het het zout zijn,

Laat het mijn allerdomste fout zijn

Maar laat me dit nooit meer vergeten, nooit meer vergeten

Laat me dit nooit meer vergeten bovendien

[Chorus]

Ik ben mezelf niet of al die jaren nooit geweest

Ik ben mezelf niet of al die jaren nooit geweest

Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest

Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest

Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest, of al die jaren nooit geweest

Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest, of al die jaren nooit geweest

Onderweg – Abel (2000)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Ik doe de deur dicht

Straten lijken te huilen

Wolken lijken te vluchten

Ik stap de bus in

Mensen lijken te kijken

Maar ik wil ze ontwijken, voordat ze mij zien

[Chorus]

Het is allang verleden tijd

Dat je mijn verjaardag niet vergat

Je onvoorwaardelijk koos voor mij

[Verse 2]

Ik zie de velden

Langs me heen gaan huizen

Het is stil achter de ruiten, wie kan mij zien?

In blauw verlichte treinen

Je hart is zo dicht bij me, maar het klopt niet

[Chorus]

Het is allang verleden tijd

Je zwarte haren en je lach dat je heel de wereld voor mij was

Het zit ook veel te diep in mij

Dat ik mocht delen wat jij had, je door m'n haren ging en zei

[Verse 3]

Je kent m'n stem niet

Wie ik ben is wat je nu ziet

Wil je dansen met illusies in gedachten

Ben je verder dan het heden

Wil je terug naar je verleden

Zegt je dat iets

[Chorus]

Het is allang verleden tijd

Rode wijn op het terras dat je heel de wereld voor mij was

Het ziet nog veel te diep in mij

Dat ik vergat hoe jij me zag, dat ik zo anders ben dan jij

[Solo]

[Verse 4]

Ik loop de straat in

Het zal me nooit verwarmen

Omdat het mij niet kan omarmen

Wie zou mij zien

Het liefst zou ik willen schreeuwen

Ik zou oneindig willen schreeuwen, maar het gaat niet

[Chorus]

Jij bent nu alleen van mij

Kan de wereld laten zien dat het zo beter is misschien

Het is allang verleden tijd

Dat ik vergat hoe jij me zag, dat ik zo anders ben dan jij

[Outro]

Op een onbewoond eiland – Kinderen voor Kinderen (1981)

[Intro]

[Chorus]

Op een onbewoond eiland loopt niemand voor je neus,

Ja, je voelt je d'r blij want lekker leven is de leus

Geen pietsie pech want je hoeft er niets,

valt er niet van je fiets, ligt op je luie haidewiets;

drinkt met je billen bloot melk uit een kokosnoot

Je wordt vanzelf groot

Op een onbewoond eiland zijn alle dagen fijn,

Op een onbewoond eiland daar zou ik willen zijn

[Verse 1]

'k Had vanmorgen al voor dag en dauw een punaise in m'n voet,

marmelade op m'n linkermouw, ei te zacht, ik word niet goed

En toen 'k m'n fiets besteeg, je raadt het reeds:

m'n beide banden lek en leeg

En de tram die ik toen nam bleef steken in de steeg

[Chorus]

Op een onbewoond eiland loopt niemand voor je neus,

Ja, je voelt je d'r blij want lekker leven is de leus

Geen pietsie pech want je hoeft er niets,

Valt er niet van je fiets, ligt op je luie haidewiets;

Drinkt met je billen bloot melk uit een kokosnoot

Je wordt vanzelf groot

Op een onbewoond eiland zijn alle dagen fijn,

Op een onbewoond eiland daar zou ik willen zijn

[Verse 2]

Moest vanmiddag bij de dokter zijn, spuitje anti-griep gehaald,

Nou, die vogel deed me reuzepijn en natuurlijk brak de naald

En toen ik douchen zou, je raadt het reeds: stond ik te krijsen van de kou

Nooit geluk, de geiser stuk, je weet al wat ik wou.

[Chorus]

Op een onbewoond eiland loopt niemand voor je neus,

Ja, je voelt je d'r blij want lekker leven is de leus

Geen pietsie pech want je hoeft er niets,

Valt er niet van je fiets, ligt op je luie haidewiets;

Drinkt met je billen bloot melk uit een kokosnoot

Je wordt vanzelf groot

Op een onbewoond eiland zijn alle dagen fijn,

Op een onbewoond eiland daar zou ik willen zijn

Wie döt mij wat, wie döt mij wat, wie döt mij wat vandage

'k Heb de banden vol met wind, nee ik heb ja niks te klagen

Wie döt mij wat, wie döt mij wat, wie döt mij wat vandage

'k Zol haost zeggen, jao het mag wel zo

[Instrumental]

Piano man – Billy Joel (1973)

[Intro]

[Verse]

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday

The regular crowd shuffles in

There's an old man sitting next to me

Makin' love to his tonic and gin

[Verse 2]

He says, "son, can you play me a memory?

I'm not really sure how it goes

But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete

When I wore a younger man's clothes"

[Pre-Chorus]

La la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da

[Chorus]

Sing us a song, you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feelin' alright

[Verse]

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

He gets me my drinks for free

And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke

But there's someplace that he'd rather be

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"

As the smile ran away from his face

"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star

If I could get out of this place"

[Pre-Chorus]

La la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da

[Verse]

Now Paul is a real estate novelist

Who never had time for a wife

And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy

And probably will be for life

[Verse]

And the waitress is practicing politics

As the businessmen slowly get stoned

Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

But it's better than drinkin' alone

[Chorus]

Sing us a song, you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feelin' alright

[Verse]

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday

And the manager gives me a smile

'cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see

To forget about life for a while

And the piano, it sounds like a carnival

And the microphone smells like a beer

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"

[Pre-Chorus]

La la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da

[Chorus]

Sing us a song, you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feelin' alright

Ring of fire – Johnny Cash (1963)

[Intro]

[Verse]

Love is a burning thing

And it makes a fiery ring

Bound by wild desire

I fell into a ring of fire

[Chorus]

I fell into a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down

And the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire, the ring of fire

[Verse]

The taste of love is sweet

When hearts like ours meet

I fell for you like a child

Oh, but the fire went wild

[Chorus]

I fell into a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down

And the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire, the ring of fire

[Repeat chorus]

I fell into a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down

And the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire, the ring of fire

Rolling in the deep – Adele

[Intro]

[Verse]

There's a fire starting in my heart,

Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark

Finally, I can see you crystal clear

Go ahead and sell me out, and I'll lay your shit bare

See how I'll leave with every piece of you

Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark

[Pre-Chorus]

The scars of your love, remind me of us

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all

The scars of your love, they leave me breathless

I can't help feeling

[Chorus]

We could have had it all

Rolling in the deep

You had my heart inside of your hand

And you played it to the beat

[Verse]

Baby, I have no story to be told,

But I've heard one on you. Now I'm gonna make your head burn

Think of me in the depths of your despair

Make a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared

[Pre-Chorus]

The scars of your love, remind me of us

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all

The scars of your love, they leave me breathless

I can't help feeling

[Chorus]

We could have had it all

Rolling in the deep

You had my heart inside of your hand

And you played it to the beat

[Interlude]

Could have had it all

Rolling in the deep

You had my heart inside of your hand

But you played it with a beating

[Verse]

Throw yourself through every open door (whoa)

Count your blessings to find what you look for (whoa-uh)

Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (whoa)

You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

[Bridge]

You're gonna wish you, never had met me

We could have had it all (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all yeah (You're gonna wish you, never had met me)

It all, it all, it all (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

[Chorus]

We could have had it all

Rolling in the deep

You had my heart inside of your hand

And you played it to the beat

[Repeat chorus]

We could have had it all

Rolling in the deep

You had my heart inside of your hand

And you played it to the beat

Shallow – Lady Gaga feat. Bradley Cooper

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Tell me somethin' girl

Are you happy in this modern world?

Or do you need more

Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?

[Refrain]

I'm fallin'

In all the good times

I find myself longin' for change

And in the bad times I fear myself

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Tell me something boy

Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?

Or do you need more

Ain't it hard keepin' it so hardcore?

[Refrain]

I'm falling

In all the good times

I find myself longin' for change

And in the bad times I fear myself

[Chorus]

I'm off the deep end

Watch as I dive in

I'll never meet the ground

Crash through the surface

Where they can't hurt us

We're far from the shallow now

[Bridge]

In the sha-ha-sha-ha-low

In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-low

In the sha-ha-sha-ha-low

We're far from the shallow now

Oooh oooh (etc.)

[Chorus]

I'm off the deep end

Watch as I dive in

I'll never meet the ground

Crash through the surface

Where they can't hurt us

We're far from the shallow now

[Outro]

In the sha-ha-sha-ha-low

In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-low

In the sha-ha-sha-ha-low

We're far from the shallow now

Space oddity – David Bowie (1969)

[Intro]

[Pre-Verse]

Ground control to Major Tom

Ground control to Major Tom

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on (ten)

Ground control (nine) to Major Tom (eight, seven, six)

Commencing countdown (five) engines on (four, three, two)

Check ignition (one) and may God's love (lift-off) be with you

[Verse 1]

This is ground control to Major Tom

You've really made the grade

And the papers want to know whose shirt you wear

Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to ground control

I'm stepping through the door

And I'm floating in a most peculiar way

And the stars look very different today

[Chorus]

For here am I sitting in a tin can

Far above the world

Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles

I'm feeling very still

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows

[Bridge]

Ground control to Major Tom, your circuit's dead, there's something wrong

Can you hear me Major Tom?

Can you hear me Major Tom?

Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you hear...

[Chorus]

...here am I floating 'round my tin can

Far above the Moon

Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

[Outro]

Stand by me – Ben E. King (1961)

[Intro]

[Verse]

When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we'll see

No, I won't be afraid

No, I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[Chorus]

So, darling, darling, stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me

[Verse]

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

Or the mountain should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry

No, I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[Chorus]

And darling, darling, stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now, stand by me, stand by me

So, darling, darling, stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now, oh, stand, stand by me

Stil in mij – Van Dik Hout (1994)

[Verse 1]

Kom bij me zitten, sla je arm om me heen en houd me stevig vast

Al die gezichten  bekend maar beleefd of ik een vreemde was

Vanavond toont het leven zijn ware gezicht

Kom bij me liggen, sla je lijf om me heen ik heb het koud gehad

We moeten winnen, de schijn is gemeen, het wordt van ons verwacht

Vanavond toont de liefde haar ware gezicht

[Chorus]

En het is zo stil in mij, ik heb nergens woorden voor

Het is zo stil in mij en de wereld draait maar door

Het is zo stil in mij, ik heb nergens woorden voor

Het is zo stil in mij

[Verse 2]

Kom bij me zitten, sla je arm om me heen en houd me stevig vast

Al die gezichten en jij alleen zoals je gister was

Vanavond toonde jij je ware gezicht

Kom bij me liggen, sla je lijf om me heen ik heb het koud gehad

Je hoeft niets meer te zeggen, de waarheid spreekt al uit ons oogcontact

En vanavond tonen wij ons ware gezicht

[Chorus]

En het is zo stil in mij, ik heb nergens woorden voor

Het is zo stil in mij en de wereld draait maar door

Het is zo stil in mij, ik heb nergens woorden voor

Het is zo stil in mij

[Bridge]

Iedereen kijkt, maar niemand zegt wat hij denkt

Iedereen lijkt, maar niemand is wie je denkt

[Outro]

Stil in mij, zo stil in mij

zo stil in mij,

zo stil in mij

zo stil in mij

zo stil in mij

Stop – Spice Girls (1997)

[Intro]

[Verse]

You just walk in, I make you smile

It's cool but you don't even know me

You take an inch, I run a mile

Can't win you're always right behind me

And we know that you could go and find some other

Take or leave it or just don't even bother

Caught in a craze, it's just a phase

or will this be around forever

[Pre-chorus]

Don't you know, it's going too fast

Racing so hard, you know it won't last

Don't you know, what can't you see

Slow it down, read the signs

so you know just where you're going

[Chorus]

Stop right now, thank you very much

I need somebody with a human touch

Hey you, always on the run

Gotta slow it down baby gotta have some fun

[Interlude]

Do do do do, do do do do

Do do do, always be together

Ba da ba ba, ba da ba ba

Ba da ba, say that we're forever

[Verse 2]

And we know that you could go and find some other

Take or leave it cause we've always got each other

You know who you are and yes you're gonna break down

You've crossed the line so you're gonna have to turn around

[Pre-chorus]

Don't you know, it's going too fast

Racing so hard, you know it won't last

Don't you know, what can't you see

Slow it down, read the signs

so you know just where you're going

[Chorus]

Stop right now, thank you very much

I need somebody with a human touch

Hey you, always on the run

Gotta slow it down baby gotta have some fun

[Interlude]

[Bridge]

Gotta keep it down honey, lay your back on the line

Cause I don't care about the money, don't be wasting my time

You need less speed, get off my case

You gotta slow it down baby, just get out of my face

[Chorus]

Stop right now, thank you very much

I need somebody with a human touch

Hey you, always on the run

Gotta slow it down baby gotta have some fun

[Chorus repeat]

Stop right now, thank you very much

I need somebody with a human touch

Hey you, always on the run

Gotta slow it down baby gotta have some fun

Tears in heaven – Eric Clapton (1992)

[Verse]

Would you know my name,

If I saw you in heaven,

Would it be the same,

If I saw you in heaven,

[Chorus]

I must be strong,

and carry on,

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

[Verse]

Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in heaven

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in heaven

[Chorus]

I'll find my way,

through night and day

Cause I know I just can't stay

Here in heaven

[Bridge]

Time can bring you down

Time can bend your knee

Time can break your heart

Have you begging please

Begging please

[Chorus]

Beyond the door

There's peace I'm sure

And I know there'll be no more

Tears in heaven

[Verse]

Would you know my name,

If I saw you in heaven,

Would it be the same,

If I saw you in heaven,

I must be strong,

and carry on,

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

Early in the morning?
