ANSWER
I want nothing but to feel
a little rubbing and a little wheel
should I be worried? she said will I be fine?
the answer is no
I have something it’s not the wheel
it craves the rubbing and you know the deal
stop talking about the wheel
it’s in my pants and it’s like an eel
you know you want it
she says the answer is no boy I don’t want it
PRETTY GOOD
I’m waiting for a sign from above
I want it to be special and all
I lay there in the grass face down
you read me a poem by your hand and now
I can’t believe I would say it
it was pretty good ‘till the end
I died in it
can’t you write a story
a happy one
one where I won’t get hurt
I can’t believe I would say it
it was pretty good ‘till the end
REALLY WANNA TELL YOU
sit up straight baby
I’ve got something I wanna say
I really wanna tell you
there’s a man in the mirror looking back at me
he’s going: WHY?

I really wanna tell you
I’ve got to let it out
I really wanna tell you

PARDON ME
I hear a voice saying
I wish it was like it was before
when everything was fine
when I look in the mirror and see my face
I don’t like what I see
I said pardon me
what’s the problem man?
he says part of me
wants to play
I can’t sleep or weep for weeks and I’m alone
but i had to let you go so
I’m punching holes into the walls and I confess
I made a bigger mess
I said pardon me
what’s the problem man?
he says part of me
wants to stay here
ISLAND
I wish I was a fish
I used to be an island
covered in shit
in the ocean of shit
I wish I was a fish y’all

ASSHOLE DOWN (written by: Thomas Aram)
c’mon people hear my call
i know we’ve all been bossed around
but it’s time to show our true potential
and drag that asshole down
we’re gonna drag that asshole down
this world is one ugly business
we keep the best things to ourself
but it’s time to rearrange ourselves
and start trading with someone else
the sun and moon are gonna fade too soon when there’s noone left around
it’s time to show that people wont be bossed around
we’re gonna drag that asshole down

I used to be able
to sit at the table
eat a bagel
but not anymore
she says the a-holes
are eating the bagels

DRINKING TIME 7″
DRINKING TIME
I’m on the telephone

I’m on the telephone with you
making plans for the night
making plans to die a little

I will tell you..
my shoes are dirty
your shoes are nice
I wish the summer would never end
follow chino
it’s drinking time
not thinking time
the day time is over
it’s drinking time
not thinking time
in the end we fought a homeless man
drank cheap wine and kicked a dog
kissed each other and broke some bottles
we held a peeing contest which you won though
forgot to mention our fucking heading
we found a warm nest for the night
I told a story about a careless giant
you held your breath for a little while
we named a star
this was the best night ever
it’s drinking time
not thinking time
I’m in orbit
I will…
CRAZY
go down the river and have a fucking swim
I know it’s not really a river but anyway
my friends told me not to follow you down here
I did it anyway and now I can’t stay
baby I know
the last time I saw you
got a little outta hand
got a little messy
blow me a kiss while I wait by the tree
I look up at the birds way up in the canopy
I drank all this wine and now i have to pee
please hurry up because I don’t wanna be late
baby I know
the last time I saw you
got a little outta hand
got a little messy
on the carpet
and on your towels
when I got to the city
I felt so much better
I bought myself a cookie
I felt so much better
baby I know
the last time I saw you
it got a little outta hand
it got a little messy
on your carpet
and on your towels
I didn’t want to be there anyway
it’s not a river but a lake yeah anyway
ANOTHER ROUND LP
ANOTHER ROUND (co written by: Jasja J Offermans & Joeri Valent)
wasted time feels better now
now that I found relief
it’s not a matter of what you did
as long as you believe
spin another word around
spin another world around
can’t see why you needed me
got stuck in this melody
I can’t see why you needed me
it’s breaking up and it’s heavenly
wish it was as easy
as you make it out to be
stay awake another day
see life as it fades away
spin another word around
spin another world around
can’t see why you needed me
got stuck in this melody
I can’t see why you needed me
it’s breaking up and it’s heavenly
ON AND ON (co-written with: Jasper Erkens)

on the day that never comes
once you start
you can never stop
it’s not allowed
grab the wheel
spin the wheel
let’s do it right
honey I
I’m to blame
I wanted to change
and forget
it goes on and on
on the day that never comes
KEEP IT TO MYSELF (written by: Martijn Konijnenburg)
I fell down from heaven into hell
when you woke up next to someone else
I break all the things I see
why would you end it all for me
so I said
I keep to myself
don’t want nobody else
when you call I slip and hurt my knee
you already stole my precious memories
you say you wanna spend the day
but I tell you it’s not the way I play
so I said
I keep to myself
don’t want nobody else

BEAT74
I must be dreaming
this room opened up
it’s a garden now
I can’t believe it
what used to be so damp
is now lush and green
I guess I’m dreaming
there’s a river now
where I used to undress
you don’t want to live boy
but you know how it is
when the sun is up
you always got to give
you don’t want to live boy
but you know how it is
you’re in a dream man
you’ve got to come back
I won’t be leaving
I’m here to stay
in the garden of love
it’s making me feel
like I’m supposed to feel
it’s hiding in your mind too
here’s the deal man
we love out loud
stop crying your eyes out
you don’t want to live boy
but you know how it is
when the sun is up
you always got to give
you don’t want to live boy
but you know how it is
you’re in a dream man
you’ve got to come back
I FEEL SOMETHING
seems like every day
brings me down
can’t shake this feeling
I wear it like a crown
feels like every day
shuts me down
staring at the ceiling
staring ’till it’s dawn
I thought I was dead inside
but I feel something again
when the sun goes down it gets louder
can’t shake this feeling
I wear it like a crown
feels like every day
shuts me down
can’t get to the shoreline
swimming ’till I drown
I thought I was dead inside
but I feel something again
WHEELS
I’m here I’m wanted I get it done
not nearly finished but I am done
my wheels are coming off
sometimes it’s better to leave it alone
sometimes it’s better to give up than go on
I said my wheels are coming off
I like that weed and pills but I am done
I heard your voice on the telephone
I see you riding but I’m done
because the wheels are coming off
stop moving your lips (stop talking)
I said I’m already on it
I’m gonna give in
pills? game on!
I like that weed and pills but I am done
we like that weed and pills but I’m gone
I am done
FOR YOU
I’m on my way
I want to be a better man
let’s get it on
let’s do it right this time
it will be better when I get it done
when I get over you
I hold the keys to the hearts again
what’s the deal with love again
I’m overthinking and overjoyed
I’m excited and a lonely boy
not sure where we’re going with it
are we running from it?
do we leave it at this
i’m here for you
let’s get it on
let’s do it right this time
I’m here for you
I’m here for you
for you
I’m here for you
for you
GIMME A SIGN
oh yeah
I love myself again

I found myself again
baby boy
I’ve got you in my hands
I’ve got your back
I always got your back son
I said please gimme a sign of life
I said please gimme a sign
I know you’re somewhere
walking around
with a little black book in a little black bag
walking for hours
head gone head home
oh yeah
I used to get lost in the head
oh yeah
but I found myself again
I said please gimme a sign of life
I said please gimme a sign
I know you’re somewhere
SEPARATION (written by: Bart van der Elst)
you paint a picture for me
it better be good
you think you know me
I’ve got chills all over
oh yeah
you have changed
it’s separation
you used to be mine
so take the time you need
now the time has come
to show what you’re made of
we’ve got each other by the arm
blink and whistle in the wind
people be watching
so you live your life
sunbeams touch what I cannot reach
building up myself brick by brick
I learned to be near you is a mistake
though sometimes I wish I was you
now the time has come
to show what you’re made of
we’ve got each other by the arm
blink and whisle in the wind
people be watching
so you live your life
chained and sad and happy all at once
you used to be mine
I used to be yours
BEHAVE
I must behave
I’m the storm of the century
the weird ones riot
I hooked you in but can you let go?
I am insane
I build a hut in the forest and I sleep inside it
I hooked you in but can you let it go?
put your coat on
don’t look at me
leave this place
and leave no trace
hide your love for me
I can’t be tamed
don’t tell me I can’t run don’t try me
I hurt you when can you let it go?
put your coat on
don’t look at me
leave this place
and leave no trace
sometimes it’s better to give up
than try to move on
make a fire when the sun goes down
open the bottle and down it and drown
put your coat on
don’t look at me
leave this place
and leave no trace
hide your love for me
MR. NICK
I know your name
I know you’re insane
I know two wicked games to play
so here’s your whiskey
all night long he drank
THE B-SIDES EP
LOOKS GOOD (written by: Thomas Aram)
why’d you bring your high heels to the beach?
why’re you wearing yer pyamas in the steets?

you know it looks real good
because it looks good
because it looks good
why’re you wearing that big fat fur coat?
why’d you put disco lights in yer over man?
why’d you color yer hair deep purple?
is that yer backpack or are you trying to be a turtle?
why’re you flexing yer muscles in the mirror?
is that a handle bar moustache in the middle?
why’re you making such a fuss about that top hat?

because it looks good
you know it looks so good
because it looks good
you know it looks real good
because it looks good
because it looks good
BURNING BLUE (written by: Peter Kriek)
I had enough of you

I could’ve loved you

DEEP END
say goodbye to the ones you love
you’ll be leaving soon
don’t believe me?
look at the stars
look at the map the old lady drew for you
it was in a gypsy place
she read your mind
and slapped your face
you went out for a swim
now you’re stuck in the deep end
you want to play the game
but you suck at defence
first: I don’t believe what’s written in the stars
second: that old lady
she was a shill and not well
it was a shabby place
and oh the smell
she read your mind
and slapped your face
you went out for a swim
now you’re stuck in the deep end
you want to play the game
but you suck at defence
I want to play but it depends
do I have to defend
I’m not in the mood
I’m singing the blues
BABY
I want to be a baby
held up in your arms
I want to leave the world behind
and stay here for a while
stopped caring about anything in the world
stopped believing anything I heard
I want to be a baby
held up in your arms
I want to leave the world behind
and stay here for the night

I wanna fly into the sun
I wanna leave

COFFEEBUZZ
the percolator coffee maker
our saint and savior
mornings former daze is gone
my soul is hungover
I and my fomorian friends are headless drinkers
I lost control
the percolator coffee maker
our saint and saviour
like evil snakes and trouble makers
heavenly intoxicated
in the poisenous landfill
we call the bars and taverns
those spirits are the spirrit killers
my soul is hungover
we come from under the sea of ethanol
we let the good times roll
I lost control
(I can tase the sugar)
RELAPSE

shoot me in the heart because it’s never enough
it’s never enough!

DAN KNOWS
yeah you know Dan
Dan fucking Lancley
he’s from the GB
he knows things
he knows any knows
things
he is right I do know things
per exemple
if you know.. you lived in France and speak like a fucking moron
this is what you might say
for example
one of the things I know
is that rabbits are not legally aloud to go on ferries
it’s part of maritime law
‘cause when it was wooden boats
they used to chew through the fuching things
so yeah
that’s one of the thins I know
it’s not the way I’m wired
we’re talking about the same problems
always
I’m begging you now
stop moving lips moving mouths plug your ears
I’m breaking down walls
I keep on bangin’ now there’s something about her
it’s not the way I’m wired
and no one wants to smell your Minnesota odor
it’s like it’s lost it’s in it’s always in between
it’s not the same it’s slow and no one’s getting on
I want to take it slow and make it so and hate you so
let me soften the blow
I guess that I’m to blame
always
you know it’s all the same to me now
I also know that dog spelled backwards is god
I also know that whenever you’re embarking on a roadtrip
and you’re a little bit lost
and you come across like an old deserted barn
but there’s like a chicken stood on a rock
if he’s lookin’ at you and i mean
right. fucking. at. you.
you might as well turn around and go home
‘cause you’ll have no luck there today
these are facts
it’s not the way I’m wired
we’re talking about the same problems
always
I’m not the same boy
I might be lost but I’m never ever gone
let me ride the wave
and in this moment let me be your problem
I reckon I can get another 24hrs out of this session
I feel strong..
LOCK DAN
fam we’re in lockdown
I was literally…
the fucking shops over here are deserted
they are barren little stations of hatred
and there’s no eggs
you literally can’t even get a chicken
you can’t even get a chicken to make the egg
ummmm so yeah
I was literally prepared to dilute my jack daniels with human piss
it’s the way the world’s going mate
you gotta clock in log on and shit out
they’re all the same to me
I drop it like it’s hot
I know you feel the same
we’ll work it out as we go
I like the flaky ones
I run ’em down like a dog
let’s run ’em down man
like a pack of dogs
there’s nothing wrong with me
there’s nothing wrong with this
there’s nothing wrong with me
there’s nothing wrong with me
stop running around
I like it loud
stop being a bitch about it let this man go
I like the flaky ones
I drop it like it’s hot
I like to get ’em to the docks and drown ’em out
there’s nothing wrong with me
there’s nothing wrong with this
there’s nothing wrong with me
there’s nothing wrong with me
I drown ’em out
LOCH NESS DAN
did you just say wink or did you actually wink?
I ponder to myself
ok let’s try this again
if you say wink do you actually wink or did you just text it?
how does this work?
well just to clear this matter up
apart from a personal point of view
I tend to say the word wink whilst simoultaneously winking
but for the purpose of full disclosure
I often fuck up the word wink and turning it into a blink
it’s my own personal dilemma that I deal with
so what happens with you?
do you say and wink?
try and le me know
I’m on the edge of my seat
she knows my name
she knows my other face
she knows I’m here for all to see
I need you body and your soul for me
just for me
to dance for me
I need a body and a soul for me
to dance for me
I remember when you talked to me
with your wicked eyes and your dark hair
when you were talking shit
I need somebody to come home to me
just for me
to dance for me
I need somebody to control and bleed
just for me
to bleed for me
just for me
LONELY CITIZEN LP
POSSESSED (written by: Nathan Nicholson)
Swept under the carpet of
The cost of an emotional cover up
Two weeks a fairytale
Then back home to my prison cell
I think I must be under your spell
I think I must be lying to myself
I know that my head’s trying to f@#$ up my heart
Lost control to a shot in the dark
Making me do what I know I’ll regret
I’m so in love I feel I’ve been possessed
I’m hooked it feels like a drug
Raise a toast to health and to luck
Control is overrated I acquiesce
I have a thirst for the worst and it’s all in my head
I think I must be under your spell
I think I must be lying to myself
I know that my head’s trying to f@#$ up my heart
Lost control to a shot in the dark
Making me do what I know I’ll regret
I’m so in love I feel I’ve been possessed
LOVE & LIGHT (co-written with: Jasper Erkens)
Curse this god damn night
Need to escape in the blues
I’ve got to dig inside
I’m going down
I’m going crazy inside
Give me something to love
Something you can not buy
I’m coming around
I’m taking a ride
Down these dead-end streets
It doesn’t matter to me
Now that I love my fate
Where ever it takes me
That’s where I’m supposed to be
I’m feeling electric
I come alive inside
Yeah I’m electric
Only love and light
Only love and light
Feeling slightly exposed
Curse this god damn night
I will burn it down
Stopped caring about
These dead-end streets
It doesn’t matter to me
I’ve got a lot of faith
The love that gives me
Pure energy
I stopped giving a damn
I’m feeling electric
I come alive inside
My heart’s coming around
Yeah I’m electric
Only love and light
I stopped giving a damn
I’m feeling electric
I come alive inside
My heart’s coming around
Yeah I’m electric
Only love and light
I stopped giving a damn
When the pressure’s applied
We’re digging for gold
Do you feel it now?
You’re left in the cold
I stopped giving a damn
And started thinking about
These dead-end streets
Yes it matters to me
My heart’s coming around
I’m feeling electric
I come alive inside
I stopped giving a damn
Yeah I’m electric
Only love and light
My heart’s coming around
I’m feeling electric
I come alive inside
LEVITATE
I feel better now
Better than before
Something’s floating in here
Levitating in the room
My brain hurts now writing this down
There used to be a lot in here
Now there’s just this thing
So much pressure now
I love it but can we get along?
Who wrote the rules?
What’s in this glass?
A better story of my life
My brain hurts still writing this down
I used to be a lot in here
Now I’m just this thing with hands
There’s something in the room looking at me
Staring me down in this place
Should I submit to a higher power?
Is it God?
Is it good?
Listen to me now
I don’t want to make another mistake
All hail the true God
I’m breaking the spell
No more lies
No more wires
No more lines
All hail the true God
I’m breaking the spell
I’m on fire
No more lies
No more wires
No more lines
Here I am all hail the true God
I used to complain a lot about it
But now I’m this thing with plans
So much pressure now
I love it but can we get along?
Who wrote the rules?
What’s in this glass?
My brain hurts still writing this down
There used to be a lot here
Now there’s just this thing
All hail the true God
I’m breaking the spell
I’m on fire
No more lies
No more wires
No more lines
Here I am all hail the true God
I used to complain a lot about it
But now I’m this thing with plans
I’m not in denial anymore
It went down to the wire
I’m just floating by
All hail the true God
I’m breaking the spell
I LIKE BOYS (written by: Funda Sevis & Jasper Erkens)
You’ve got a
Big mouth
Filthy mind
Dark eyes
Big smile
Know-it-all face
I like to believe
You keep me up on my feet
I like you boys
One pill to
slow it down
one pill to hurry up
And another one
just to hang around
and another to disperse
I’m tired of equivalence
show me your opposites
I’m a know-it-all
You tell me this
You’re all that I wanted to love
THE DEAL
Here’s the deal
I’m not dying
I’m a downer
Look at my shoes
I don’t find them
Edible
This is how
We do it here
This is dumb
I’m on fire
I’ve been gone
Instead of loved
Here’s the deal
I’m not trying
I gave up
I’m relaxed
Bottles up
Now bottoms up
This is how
We do it here
I am dumb
I’m on fire
I’ve been gone
Instead of loved
The price I pay for peace of mind
I hate this noise
I kneel
Here’s to me
I’m not dying
I feel like crying
I look at my food
I don’t find it
Edible
This is weird
I’ve been here before
I’m fighting for nothing
I love it here
Down in the dark
Well bottoms up and fly away from here
The price I pay for peace of mind
I wish I never met you
The price I pay for peace of mind
I hate this town
I hate this noise
I kneel for for you
HOUDINI
Play with fire
Stay in denial
Get your head out your ass and leave me now
Put your coat on
Don’t look at me
Leave this place and leave no trace
I play with fire
I stay in denial
I’ve got my hands on your mess and wet skin now
Take a load off
Now look at me
It cuts like a knife
We’re friends for lif
GLOOMY (written by: Jasper Erkens)
I’ve got a voice inside my head
Whispering every word unsaid
Telling me softly what to do
Even if it steers me away from you
Gloomy in mourning
Turn off the lights
I’m in the back seat
Catching a ride
To where ever we’ll go
And when I arrive
I’ll be on my way
And say my goodbyes
Turn off the lights
Catching a ride
And when I arrive
I’ll say my goodbyes
I’m not afraid to say it out loud
I need more time to figure things out
I feel like I could use some space
Maybe I need to get out of this place
I love you but I don’t want to
Turn off the lights
Catching a ride
And when I arrive
I’ll say my goodbyes
I love you but I don’t want to
Gloomy in mourning
Turn off the lights
I’m in the back seat
Catching a ride
To where ever we’ll go
And when I arrive
I’ll be on my way
And say my goodbyes
YOU’VE GOT MAIL
You made me this way
Addicted to beyond
It got me so young
But you gave me a choice
Write down these numbers
Break down for the Lord
Show me you love me
Show me I’m yours
I gotta go back
Back to my old ways
I gotta go back
Back to your lies
He made us this way
Addicted to our bond
It got us so young
I guess we have no choice
But to write down these numbers
Let’s break down for the Lord
You showed me you love me
I showed you I’m yours
I wanna go back
Back to my old ways
I wanna go back
Back to the old ways
Back to the other plan
Back to the old ways
Open the door
I party on in God’s name
I’m addicted to her
I party on
49 lines later
The night’s still young
I’m addicted to the bond
ELEVEN (co-written with: Peter Kriek)
Hey
I’ve got something to say
I’ve got something to say to you
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I’ve got nothing but an anvil
I’ve got noting but a piano in your face
I give up
Sit down
Chill out
Something’s about to break you
I know what to do with you
I’m gonna walk all over you
Tired of your lies
This is goodbye
Aahh
I’ve got something to say
This is your last day
Then I’m alone
Yeah I’m alone
Then you’re gone
I hear you saying just relax man
But I’ve got nothing but an axe for your face
So give up
Sit down
Chill out
Something’s about to break you
I know what to do
There’s something wrong with you
Tired of your lies
This is goodbye
HANDSOME
I know I’ve hurt you
It’s not my fault
And now I want you to get my coat
I’m never gonna do it again
Sooner or later you’ll see
You’re not my friend and all
Sooner or later you’ll see
You’re not my friend but I need y’all
All y’all
I’m a little over the edge this time around
I need pictures on display
I need pitchers on the walls
Sooner or later you’ll see
You’re not the friend you are
Sooner or later you’ll see
I’m your friend
I’ve got my new shoes on tonight
Forget about it
You’ve got to put yours on
If you want it just..
You’ve got it
Some politicians butthole
How are we friends and all?
How are we given to give up?
You know I’m gonna get into the pants
And all the bands
Rather soon than later you’ll see
You’re not the friend I want
Sooner than later you’ll see
I’m just a hand
Rather soon than later you’ll get it
You’re not the friend I want
Sooner or later you’ll see
I’m your friend
I’d rather know you…
I’d rather know you’re batman
NOWHERE
How long until I’m home again?
I’m lost again
I’m nowhere man
STRANGER (co-written with: Joeri Valent)
I’m a stranger to kindness
All these years filled with lies
Take the best of me
Take the best of you
We’ll live perfect lives
We’ll live perfect lies
I don’t want to love
I don’t have to love you
Because it’s all meaningless
I don’t want to show
I don’t want to be alone in here
I’m not sure if it’s rain or tears
I’m dead to me I’m done
Please need me
Please heal me
I’m a stranger to kindness
I’m the best of the worst
I am here
I can love
And it’s easy to pretend
I don’t want to show
I don’t want to be alone in here
I’m not sure if it’s rain or tears
I’m dead to me I’m done
Please need me
Please heal me
(I need you now)
