Coldplay - The Scientist

Come up to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

We just, van Moses

We just
We just, we just

We just, we just, we just
We just, we just, we just, we just
We just, we just, we just, we just
We just, we just, we just, we just

We just, we just, we just, we just
We just, we just, we just, we just
We just, we just, we just, we just

Jay-Z & Linkin Park - 99 Problems.

https://youtu.be/kBnJnXq4YQ8

[Jay-Z]
If you havin girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!

Got 'em Mike

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
He's got the Rap Patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure his casket's closed
Rap critics that say he's "Money, Cash, Hoes"
He's from the hood stupid, what type of facts are those?
If you grew up with holes in your zapatoes
You'd celebrate the minute you was havin dough
So fuck critics, you can kiss the whole asshole
If you don't like the lyrics, you can press fast forward
Got beef with radio if we don't play they show
They don't play our hits - we don't give a shit, SO!
All these mags try and use our ass
So advertisers can give 'em more cash for ads, fuckers!
I don't know what you take us as
Or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has
From, rags to riches, we ain't dumb
We got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!

[Hook 1: Jay-Z & Mike Shinoda]
99 problems, but a bitch ain't one
If you havin girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!

[Verse 2: Jay-Z (Mike Shinoda)]
Now the year is ninety-four, in my trunk is raw
In the rearview mirror is the motherfuckin law
I got two choices y'all, pull over the car or (or?)
Bounce on the Devil, put the pedal to the floor (c'mon!)
And I ain't tryin to see no highway chase with Jake
Plus I got a few dollars, I can fight the case
So I, pull over to the side of the road
I heard "Son, do you know why I'm stoppin you for?"
Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low
Or do I look like a mindreader sir? I don't know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo'?
(Well you was doin fifty-five in the fifty-four
License and registration and step out of the car
Are you carryin a weapon on you? I know a lot of you are)
I ain't steppin out of shit, all my papers legit
(Well do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?)
Well my glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back
And I know my rights, so you gon' need a warrant for that
(Aren't you sharp as a tack!
You some type of lawyer or something?
Somebody important or somethin?)
Ha, I ain't passed the bar, but I know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
(Well we'll see how smart you are when the canines come)
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!

[Hook 1: Jay-Z & Mike Shinoda]
99 problems, but a bitch ain't one
If you havin girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!
99 problems, but a bitch ain't one
If you havin girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!
99 problems, but a bitch ain't one
If you havin girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Now once upon a time, not too long ago
A nigga like myself had to strongarm a ho
This is not a ho in the sense of havin a pussy
But a pussy havin no God damn sense, try an' push me
I try to ignore him, talk to the Lord
Pray for him, but some fools just love to perform
You know the type, loud as a motorbike
But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
And only thing that's gon' happen is I'mma get to clappin and
He and his boys gon' be yappin to the Captain
And there I go, trapped in the Kit-Kat again
Back through the system with the riff-raff again
Fiends on the floor, scratchin again
Paparazzis with they cameras, snappin them
D.A. try to give a nigga shaft again
Half a mill' for bail cause I'm African
All because this fool was harassin them
Tryin to play the boy like he's saccharin
But ain't nuttin sweet bout how I hold my gun
I got 99 problems bein' a bitch ain't one - hit me!

[Hook 1: Jay-Z & Mike Shinoda]
99 problems, but a bitch ain't one
If you havin girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!
99 problems, but a bitch ain't one
If you havin girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!

[Chester Bennington]
Shut up when I'm talkin to you!
Shut up!! Shut up!! Shut up!!
Shut up when I'm talkin to you!
Shut up!! Shut up!! Shut up!! Shut uup!!
I'm about to break!!

[Hook 2: Chester Bennington (Jay-Z)]
Everything you say to me
(I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!)
[I need a little room to breathe
(I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!)
Everything you say to me
(I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one - hit me!)
I need a little room to breathe
(I got 99 problems)
And I'm about to... Break

Chester Bennington

Samen met LP: ja hoor!

Het is tijd voor De Dijk - Mag het licht uit

https://youtu.be/WNfq4cRCuK4

Teveel woorden
Teveel zinnen
Teveel woorden
Draaien in mijn kop
Teveel woorden
Teveel muren
Teveel uren
Tikken langzaam op
Teveel mensen
Teveel draaien
Teveel mensen
Draaien eromheen
Teveel mensen
Teveel zinnen
Teveel woorden
Voor een mens alleen

Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit
Als ik je in mijn armen sluit?
Mag het licht uit?


Teveel ogen
Teveel tranen
Teveel ogen
Tranen van verdriet
Teveel ogen
Teveel vragen
En de antwoorden
Die zijn er niet
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit
Als ik je in mijn armen sluit?

Teveel woorden
Teveel zinnen
Teveel woorden
Draaien in mijn kop
Teveel woorden
Teveel draaien
Teveel van alles

Na een lange lange dag
En zo zie ik ze graag
Maar nu is het genoeg
Genoeg gezien vandaag
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit
Als ik je in mijn armen sluit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit
Als ik je in mijn armen sluit?
Mag het licht uit?
Mag het licht uit?

Trustuh

Ow sorry, Jay-Z samen met Linkin Park

Waren maar een paar nummers, het album heet 'Collision Course'.

Nog ééntje dan: First Aid Kit - My Silver Lining

https://youtu.be/DKL4X0PZz7M

Sweet Dreams van Marilyn Manson doe ik je maar niet aan...

Wrom niet? Nix mis mee

Russian Red is wel heel mooi... nog even Doja Cat en dan naar bed.
Dat rijmt

Leuk onderwerp Parelsnoer.

Ik ben echt aan het raden aan de hand van de eerste zinnen van de tekst of ik het lied ken.
En zie gelijk op de eerste pagina al een song die mij altijd wat doet.
George Michael, Praying for time is echt een nummer waar ik stil van word en wat me wat doet, hoewel Cowboys and Angels mijn favoriet is.
Ik was altijd te alternatief georienteerd om hem te waarderen.
Na zijn dood en de docu over hem gezien te hebben ben ik op youtube gaan kijken. Ben zo ondere indruk geraakt van zijn live concerten, wat een stem en altijd zuiver ......
Verder nog leuke ideeen van bv The Smiths, die vond ik vroeger dan wel heel leuk; hang the dj, hang the dj.....
En de nieuwe van de Staat, de echt allerbeste band van Nederland.
Kitty, Kitty, wat een gave song is dit weer...
Input source select, make the call en peptalk (briljante video)

En dan mijn bijdrage, niet origineel want ik heb zijn naam ook al voorbij zien komen: Harrie Jekkers, ik hou van mij...
Nu nog even de tekst opzoeken en zien te plakken...

Harry Jekkers - Ik Hou Van Mij
Ik hou van.. mij
hoor je nooit zingen
Ik hou van mij
wordt nooit gezegd
maar ik hou van mij
ga ik toch zingen
want ik hou van mij, van mij alleen en ik meen het echt, hehehehe!

Ik hou van mij, want ik ben te vertrouwen
Ik hou van mij, van mij kan ik op aan
Ik hou van mij, op mij kan ik tenminste bouwen
Ik hou van mij en ik laat mij nooit meer gaan!

Ik blijf bij mij, en niet voor even
Ik blijf bij mij, voor eeuwig en altijd
ben zelfs bereid mijn leven voor mezelf te geven
ik blijf bij mij, totdat de dood mij scheidt!

Ik hou van jou
zeg ik soms ook wel
Ik hou van jou, schat en ik meen het echt
maar ik hou van jou zeg ik alleen maar voor de spiegel
zo komt ik hou van jou weer bij mezelf terecht, heeey!

Ik hou van mij, van mij, van mij
en van geen ander, yeah yeah!
Want ik ben verreweg, de leukste die ik ken, jeuh
Ik hoef mezelf zonodig ook van mij niet te veranderen
ik hou van mij mezelf, gewoon zo als ik ben

Want ik hou van jou
betekent meestal:
schat, hier heb je mijn problemen, los maar op, jeuh!
ik leef in een hel en verwacht van jou de hemel (ja)
Je geeft de hel weg, dank je wel zeg,
rot lekker op

Want houden van een ander,
dat heb jij alleen maar nodig
omdat je niet genoeg kan houden van jezelf
Hou van jou joh, maak de ander overbodig,
want ware liefde, geloof me, begint áltijd
bij jezelf

want ik hou van jou is niet de sleutel tot de ander
maar ik hou van mij, al klinkt het bot en slecht
want wie van zichzelf houdt, die geeft pas echt iets kostbaars
als ie ik hou van jou tegen een ander zegt

In my room,
Alone in my room.
I've been here for a while.
And can't you see
I'm holier when I,
I'm feeling good enough to try?
All the drugs that you bring,
If they're antiquated beyind belief,
Might just be good enough to get me high.

Am I,
Am I
My only, only, only friend
That I am, I
Am I
Am I
My only, only, only friend
That I am, I

In my gloom,
I'm only in my doom
And Ill be in for a while.
I used to think
While I sit and wait for the phone to ring
That I'd be happier if just I am.

Am I,
Am I,
My only, only only friend
That I am, I.
Am I,
Am I,
My only only only friend
That I am, I.

Only, only, only, only,
only, only, only, only,
Only, only, only, only,
only, only, only, only,
Only, only, only, only,
only, only, only, only,
only, only friend,
that I am, I.

The Dandy Warthols - Be In

Herkenbaar parelsnoer,

Zo veel moois te beleven.
De Staat komt wat dat betreft echt wel in de buurt van mijn “ eclectisch summum”

Losing the star without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You're losing the calling that you've been faking
And I'm not kidding
It's damned if you don't
And it's damned if you do
Be true 'cause they'll lock you up
In a sad sad zoo
Oh hidy hidy hidy what cha tryin' to prove
By hidy hidy hiding you're not worth a thing
Sew your fortunes on a string
And hold them up to light
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed
Sand everything
And you will be in a very sad sad zoo.
I once was lost but now I'm found was blind
But now I see you
How selfish of you to believe
In the meaning of all the bad dreaming
Metal heart you're not hiding
Metal heart you're not worth a thing
Metal heart you're not hiding
Metal heart you're not worth a thing

Cat Power - Metal Heart

Oh en nog eentje als het mag. De teksten van Cat Power raken me altijd zo maar ik weet niet zo goed waarom.

It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
It must just be the colors
And the kids that keep me alive
'Cause I'd want to go right away
To a January night
I built a shack with an old friend
He was someone I could learn from
Someone I could become
Will you meet me down
On a sandy beach
We can roll up our jeans
So the tide won't get us below the knees
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
Slender fingers
Would hold me slender limbs would hold me
And you could say my name
Like you knew my name
I could stay here
Become someone different
I could stay here
Become someone better
It's so hard to go in the city
'Cause you want to say hello to everybody
It's so hard to go into the city
'Cause you want to say hey I love you to everybody
When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky
Now all we want to do is go to red places
And try to stay outta hell
It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
It must just be the colors
And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night.
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down
I hear empire down

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear
Dive, bombers, and
Empire down
Empire down

I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
Get pretty but you and me,
We got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire, now as then,
We don't doubt, we don't take direction,
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me

We look hard
We look through
We look hard to see for real
Such things I hear, they don't make sense
I don't see much evidence
I don't feel. I don't feel. I don't Feel

A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad
Now it's done

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down

We got the empire, now as then,
We don't doubt, we don't take reflection,
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me

The Sisters of Mercy - Lucretia My Reflection

I was never one for singing what I really feel
Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real
Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And all you see is glory
Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
We can shake it away, if you'll hear a story
People lust for fame like athletes in a game,
we break our collarbones and come up swinging,
some of us are downed
some of us are crowned, and some are lost and never found
But most have seen it all,
they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
They always come up singing
Some make it when they're young,
before the world has done its dirty job
and later on someone will say
"You've had your day, now you must make way"
But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned
or the many years forgetting what you know too well
That the ones who gave the crown have been let down
You try to make amends without defending
Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of grown men of twenty-five
that follow as you walk and ask for autographs
Or kiss you on the cheek and you never can believe they really loved you
Some make it when they're old
(Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
or perhaps there's nothing there)
Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And all you see is glory
But most have seen it all,
they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
They always have a story
Some women have a body men will want to see
and so they put it on display
Some people play a fine guitar, I could listen to them play all day
Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance
I guess I could learn how, if I gave it half a chance
But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar
And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord
I guess there isn't anything to put up on display
Except the tunes, and whatever else I say
But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say
I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day
Stars, they come and go, they're coming fast they come slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And all you see is glory
But most have seen it all,
who live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
And we always have a story
So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around
I'll come up singing for you, even when I'm down
