One Of These Nights

One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We're gonna find out
Pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is calling
The fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers
And moans

You got your demons
You got desires
Well, I got a few of my own

Oo, someone to be kind to in
Between the dark and the light
Oo, coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
One of these nights

One of these dreams
One of these lost and lonely dreams
We're gonna find one
One that really screams

I've been searching for the daughter
Of the devil himself
I've been searching for an angel in white
I've been waiting for a woman who's a little
Of both
And I can feel her but she's nowhere
In sight

Oo, loneliness will blind you
In between the wrong and the right
Oo, coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
One of these nights

One of these nights
In between the dark and the light
Coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
Get 'ya baby one of these nights
One of these nights
One of these nights
I can feel it
I can feel it
One of these nights
Coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you now
One of these nights..etc....

Rent!!!!!!!!!!! Zoooooooo cool! gewoon helemaal citeren die musical eigenlijk! Ook in het nederlands ben ik er weg van

Tel je de honderden dagen, duizenden uren,
tel je miljoenen seconden achter elkaar?
Tel je de honderden dagen, duizenden uren?
Wat maakt een leven? Hoe meet je een jaar?

In dromen, in dagen, in nachten, in koppen koffie,
in meters, in geld, in rijen, of spijt?
Nee, tel niet in honderd of duizend, niet in miljoenen,
meet in seizoenen van liefde in tijd!

Voel in je hart - O de liefde in je hart voelen
Voel in je hart - O seizoenen in je hart
Voel in je hart - Yeah yeah yeah
Ieder seizoen - Ieder seizoen
Voel het seizoen in je hart!
Wat maakt een jaar een liefdesjaar?

Veldhuis en Kemper-Ik wou dat ik jou was

en niet de mits maar de tenzij was
ik niet de kiezel maar de kei was
ik niet de honing maar de bij was
ik niet de modder maar de klei was
ik niet het bed maar juist de sprei was
ik niet de maan maan juist het tij was
ik niet de kassa maar de rij was
ik niet de ragout maar de pastei was

Een variant:
Ik niet de held maar de schurk was
Ik geen banaan maar een augurk was
Ik geen Marokkaan maar een Turk was
Ik niet uit Katwijk maar uit Urk was
Ik niet een tuinbroek, maar een jurk was
Ik niet een wijntje maar de kurk was
Ik niet een droom maar het gesnurk was

[mollemans]

Ik niet te koop maar te huur was
Ik niet het water maar het vuur was
Ik niet goedkoop maar te duur was
Ik niet zo zoet maar wel zuur was
Ik niet de voeg maar de muur was
Ik niet het paard maar de schuur was
Ik niet de wind maar wel guur was
Ik niet gemengd maar echt puur was
ik niet je vriend maar de buur was
ik niet gifgroen, maar azuur was
ik geen verbod maar censuur was
ik niet de strip maar een figuur was

ik geen verbod maar censuur was
ik niet de strip maar een figuur was

Ik geen kwartier maar een half uur was
Ik geen griep maar wel de kuur was.

Nooit uitgebracht, maar wel een hele mooie tekst (het nummer op zich is niks aan):

The disbelieving angel

So much for all the prayers you've learned.
   They are no help to basic needs.
   And all the worlds they've shown you
   Just make you even greedier.

      So what about divinity?
      I'm further away than before.
      You're like two stars colliding,
      And you're never going to hit the floor.

   Why should I whisper in the church?
   Because they say it's sacred ground?
   Oh, my sacrilege would do you good.
   You see, there's nothing here, I've found.

      I feel so sorry for you,
      Believing because they control.
      And of all the guardian angels
      They chose me to save your soul!

   Oh, I'm just trying to explain,
   I'm a disbelieving angel.

[Kukai]

Ik geen verre vriend maar een goede buur was

[Kukai]

Ik niet gestoord maar slechts overstuur was

[Kukai]

Kinderslaafchocola niet melk maar echt puur was

Twisted - Annie Lennox

I didn't mean to know you
I didn't mean to be a friend
But now it seems
I'd run through burnin' fire
Just to see your face again

I didn't want to hurt you
(or be hurt by you)
At the closing of the game
But now it seems
Too late for that desire
I watched it all go up in flames
I watched it all go up in flames

Tell me
Darlin'
What would it take
To untie the twist in us?
'Cause it's makin' my heart ache

Under a cloak of darkness
Under the covers where we laid
There I spent my dreams with you
Now I've hid them all away
I guess I've hid them all away

Nothin'
And no-one
Touches me like you
But how could I believe in this
When none of it whas true?
Yea

(I knew from the first time that I set my eyes on you)

I didn't mean to make you suffer
I didn't mean to make you cry
You didn't mean to make me suffer
You didn't mean to make me cry

Oh my darlin'
Oh my lover
All the words come back to me
We went walking
Out in silence
Underneath the cherry tree
Falling blossom
Falling blossom
Falling from the cherry tree
I remember
I remember
Everything you did to me

Behind those eyes - Lori Spee

You think that you know her
You think you can guess her next move
You're sure that you know her by now
'Cause she sure knows you

She wants you to love her
but don't get lost in that vacant stare
as soon as it's gone from her face
You feel it everywhere

'Cause no one ever gets
behind those eyes
the keys' been safely
thrown away
She hides her dreams
and puts her nightmares on display

She answers with questions
Then questions the answers you give
She cried when her innocence died
But she needs guilt to live

She needs, thrives on attention
Then bleeds 'cause she's often too shy
She never got used to herself
and now its too late to try

And youll never get
Behind those eyes
They're sentries posted at the gate
and when there's no one home

you wait

[Alive and Kicking]

Annabel Lee van Edgar Allan Poe

It was many and many a year ago,
   In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
   By the name of ANNABEL LEE;--
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
   Than to love and be loved by me.
She was a child and I was a child,
   In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love--
   I and my Annabel Lee--
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
   Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
   In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud by night
   Chilling my Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsman came
   And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
   In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
   Went envying her and me:--
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know,
   In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling
   And killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
   Of those who were older than we--
   Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in Heaven above,
   Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:--

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
   In her sepulchre there by the sea--
   In her tomb by the side of the sea.

geweldig nummer en mooie tekst:


Right Down The Line
(Rafferty)


You know I need your love, you got that hold over me
As long as I got your love, you know that I’ll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you, woman, right down the line.

I know how much I lean on you, only you can see
The changes that I’ve been through have left their mark on me
You’ve been as constant as the Northern Star, the brightest light that shines
It’s been you, woman, right down the line.

I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of telling you that everyday I’m loving you (so much more)

‘Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
Put something better inside of me, you brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams, I put them all behind
And it was you, woman, right down the line.

I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of telling you that everyday I’m loving you (so much more)

If I should doubt myself, if I’m losing ground
I won’t turn to someone else, they’d only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you, woman, right down the line.

'Your Attention Please'

The Polar DEW has just warned that
A nuclear rocket strike of
At least one thousand megatons
Has been launched by the enemy
Directly at our major cities.
This announcement will take
Two and a quarter minutes to make,
You therefore have a further
Eight and a quarter minutes
To comply with the shelter
Requirements published in the Civil
Defence Code - section Atomic Attack.
A specially shortened Mass
Will be broadcast at the end
Of this announcement -
Protestant and Jewish services
Will begin simultaneously -
Select your wavelength immediately
According to instructions
In the Defence Code. Do not
Take well-loved pets (including birds)
Into your shelter - they will consume
Fresh air. Leave the old and bed-
ridden, you can do nothing for them.
Remember to press the sealing
Switch when everyone is in
The shelter. Set the radiation
Aerial, turn on the geiger barometer.
Turn off your Television now.
Turn off your radio immediately
The Services end. At the same time
Secure explosion plugs in the ears
Of each member of your family. Take
Down your plasma flasks. Give your children
The pills marked one and two
In the C.D green container, then put
Them to bed. Do not break
The inside airlock seals until
The radiation All Clear shows
(Watch for the cuckoo in your
perspex panel), or your District
Touring Doctor rings your bell.
If before this, your air becomes
Exhousted or if any of your family
In critically injured, administer
The capsules marked 'Valley Forge'
(Red Pocket in No. 1 Survival Kit)
For painless death. (Catholics
Will have been instructed by their priests
What to do in this eventuality).
This announcement is ending. Our President
Has already given orders for
Massive retaliation - it will be
Decisive. Some of us may die.
Remember, statistically
It is not likely to be you.
All flags are flying fully dressed
On Government buildings - the sun is shining.
Death is the least we have to fear.
We are all in the hands of God,
Whatever happens happens by His Will.
Now go quickly to your shelters.

Long John Blues - Bette Midler

"Doctor Long John. My dreams are full of Doctor Long John."
I got a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
I have a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
His name is Doctor Long John
and he answers every call.

You know, I went to Long John's office.
I said, "Doctor, the pain is killing me."
I went to Long John's office.
I said, "Doctor, the pain is killing."
He said, "Don't worry, baby.
It's just your cavity needs a little filling."

He took out his trusty drill.
Told me to open wide.
He said he wouldn't hurt me,
but he filled my whole inside.
Long John, Long John, don't you ever go away. No.
'Cause you thrill me when you drill me,
and I don't need no novocain today.

Oh, when he got done drillin' he said,
"Now, Miss Midler, that is going to cost you ten."
"I was prepared to pay twenty!"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, when he got done drillin' he said,
"Baby, that's gonna cost you ten.
But if it ever starts in to throbbing,
come back and see old Long John
again and again and again and again and again.
Oh, yeah. Yow!

"Long John.
I sold my heart to Doctor Long John and I will never, never be the same.
Oh, that's so heavy I just gotta lay back."

Linkin Park-Breaking the habbit

memories consume
like opening the wound
i'm picking me apart again
you all assume
i'm safe here in my room
[unless i try to start again]
i don't want to be the one
the battles always choose
cause inside i realize
that i'm the one confused

i don't know what's worth fighting for
or why i have to scream
i don't know why i instigate
and say what i don't mean
i don't know how i got this way
i know it's not alright
so i'm
breaking the habit
tonight

clutching my cure
i tightly lock the door
i try to catch my breath again
i hurt much more
than anytime before
i had no options left again

i'll paint it on the walls
cause i'm the one at fault
i'll never fight again
and this is how it ends

i don't know what's worth fighting for
or why i have to scream
but now i have some clarity
to show you what i mean
i don't know how i got this way
i'll never be alright
so i'm
breaking the habit
breaking the habit
tonight

Late reactie misschien, maar ik heb Rent ook gezien (in het Nederlands). Jim de Groot is sowieso geweldig. ben al heel lang 'fan' van hem. Rent was echt super te gek. Je moet hem volgens mij vijf keer gezien hebben wil je alles meekrijgen wat er op het podium gebeurd. Al die projecties op het decor. Echt een van de beste musicals die ik de afgelopen jaren gezien heb, en dat zijn er heel wat, geloof mij maar.

Nog een leuke van K's Choice:

Breakfast

I woke up between dawn and night
Thought I heard the voice of Mommy
Sounds as if my parents had a fight
So I woke up my brother lying next to me

I wonder why she's making all that noise
Better go and check it out
So without trying to breathe only the sound of little feet
We were about to discover what that noise was all about

And as we opened up the door
We saw them lying on the kitchen floor
We were grateful for they both did their best
But we said 'Hey, there must be an easier way to make breakfast'

They both got up real fast
As if they were caught (or something)
And then we understood at last
It was a surprise breakfast they were planning

Mommy stumbled, 'Later, kids, you'll understand'
While Daddy was busy putting on his pants
We said 'We already do, don't worry, we'll do the rest'
So far for our quest, we made coffee, boiled eggs
We made them breakfast

[Avron]

Coldplay met het nummer Clocks

Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
You've put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead (singing)
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple of my head (and a)
Trouble that can't be named, tigers waiting to be tamed (singing)
You are, you are
Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna)
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know (singing)
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I)
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)

You are [x6]
And nothing else compares
Oh no nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are [continues in background]
Home, home, where I wanted to go [x4]
