I'LL SING FOR YOU
Tell a story to you all
so welcome to my show
I got lots a things to tell
but remember this one well
There's a little factory
somewhere in your mind
It's where you keep your memories
when you go through time
But sometimes little factories
need some cleaning too
so the greatest of my memories
I'm here to tell to you
Yeah, the memories I see, they're coming through
Yeah, the melodies I hear, I'll sing for you
So keep the best of memories
always in you heart
so even when you're feeling blue
you can still see beauty too
Don't forget the things of value,
Love and Happiness
This brings out the best in you
that will forever last
So now I'm going to tell you stories
in an hour or so, 'cause
I got lots a thing to tell
Our dreams will fill this show

In The Quiet Hours

IN THE QUIET HOURS
It's late, I sit still,
listening how time slowly fades
I drink my wine, little by little,
staring in the night
Getting later, and phantasies
are my nightly company
Take a ride, shivering inside
and wear a gown of light
In the quiet hours, can hear thoughts
whirling round in my mind
They open up like flowers
in the quiet hours
It's a place, there's zone
and I feel just like I'm home
Don't know how, but I crossed the line
It's now, but out of time
It's late, and faraway
I watch the new born stars
I watch them grow, slowly,
glowing in the night
Sitting still,
looking at the distant light
I fill the air
with images so bright

We'll wear this crown with pride

GOODMORNING SISTERS
Goodmorning Sisters, Goodmorning Sun
I'm wide awake now
Goodmorning Sisters, Goodmorning Sun
I'm coming out now
This morning I opened up the door
Got blinded by the light
Just couldn't stand it anymore
The closet's dark inside
This night I couldn't stand it anymore
I heard all these voices from outside
I felt so lonely and so sore
So hidden out of sight, but now
Now you can see me, at last I'm free
'cause I made a choice tonight
And I reach out to you to sing along with me
We'll sing this song so bright, Yeah!

Springtime / Voor Tine

SPRINGTIME
The virgin spring glides quietly,
caressing the cold frozen scene
Her wind softly whispers
'Welcome to the season of ease'
So elegant and amorous
as she brings in the message
Graciously drifting away
the traces of night
Springtime... Butterfly..
Aroused from her sleep
by this green tender breeze, as the sirens sing
Her strings stretch out
sensing the waves of sweet scent
So devine as she widens her wings,
enjoying the charm of spring
Embracing the warmth
with her garland arms
So elegant and amorous
as she brings in the message
So shy like a little child,
she rings in the light
VOOR TINE
Van het asfalt af,
langs een pad
dat, bezaaid met natgeregend blad
zich bloot geeft,
omringd door wenkende takken
Vooruit, in de zon,
die met dunne stralen
de kilte verhult
Samen. Verwarmd hart
Onze stemmen ver dragend
's Avonds, weer terug,
gloeien mijn wangen
Op pad gaan, dit gevoel te delen
Het verlangen de lege ruimte te vullen
samen vervuld
Verenigd in woorden
die, in liefde en verdriet,
het winters landschap kleuren

Hey Mary

HEY MARY
I met a woman named Mary
and I liked her right from the start
She told me that she was married
but she lived with an empty heart
Mary said she was happy,
she really believed it was true,
but the fact was that she was buried
in a lie that everyone knew
And Oh Oh! Mary never got laid,
she thought it was normal that way
I doubted that she was even straight,
I could tell by her eyes she was gay
Hey Mary, where have you been all my life?
Hey Mary, don't you see you don't have to be his wife?
She used to stay home at night
She never came out to have fun
Someone's gotta put on the light
and bring her into the sun
I wondered what I should do,
and would she find out on her own?
Someone's gotta see her through, I thought,
I'm not gonna leave her alone
So Mary, take off your wedding ring,
'nd I'll kiss you and make you smile
Free yourself from that fatal string,
come and love me for a while
Hey Mary, take off your wedding ring,
Free yourself from that fatal string,
I'll kiss you, and I'll make you smile
Kiss you, and make you smile

SHE'S AFTER SOMEONE ELSE
She's so beautiful and gay, but she's after someone else, and
I'd like to spend the night with her but she's after someone else
Sweet words I want to sing, but she's after someone else
and I don't know what to say, 'cause she's after someone else
I'm jealous and I'm drunk, gonna by myself another drink
It's late at night and I'm feeling sick and I vomit in the sink
She's after someone else but I can't get her off my mind
She's after someone else and that someone else is blind
She tries to make a pass at her, and I watch the way they dance
Ooh, the way she pleases her, I don't think I got a chance
She tries to take her home with her, but it ain't her lucky day
So now she keeps me company, but she looks the other way
So here we are, we're both alone… she's after someone else
She says Goodbye, then she goes home, she's after someone else
I'm loaded, and I'm feeling low, she was after someone else
I think I'd better go, bad luck I guess, gotta try some other time
I'm jealous and I'm drunk, gonna by myself another drink
It's late at night and I'm feeling sick and I vomit in the sink
She's after someone else but I can't get her off my mind
She's after someone else, Leaving me behind..
LUCHTKASTEEL
Wil ik teveel, als ik hoop dat mijn geliefde
zomaar mijn leven binnen wandelt?
Vraag ik teveel, als ik wil dat mijn verhaal
buiten alle regels handelt?
Als ik niet rechts van de weg loop
maar links tegen de stroom in
dan bots ik tegen je op en
neem je mee mijn droom in
Ik pluk je zo van de straat
Maar dat is niet hoe het gaat
Ik weet het
Soms slaat mijn fantasie op hol
Ik weet het
Soms kan het zich tegen me keren
en is het beter
eens traditioneel te proberen te zeggen
wat iedereen zegt
Te doen wat iedereen doet
In een bar
verlegen, in de war
Zo doodgewoon
een drankje aanbieden en
vragen of ze
mee naar huis gaat

A Spanish Lovesong

A SPANISH LOVESONG
Dance with me in circles, in circles round the moon
As the night is tropical in the summernights of June
Dance with me in circles, when you hear this tune
Dance with me in circles, let us dance around the moon
When the stars come falling down, our wishes will come true
We'll dance an endless circle, dancing to this tune
Take me to your Paradise, tune me like a fine guitar
Lead me to your Paradise and play the violin in my heart
and the horns go-
and singers go: Lalalala...
Come dance with me, Ramona
Dance with me, in your paradise!
Dance with me in circles in the summernight
When the sun arises in our purper velvet sky
We'll dance an endless circle into the light
Dance with me in circles like a butterfly
As the birds start singing in our purper velvet sky
We'll dance an endless circle, dancing with fire
Take me to your paradise, pick me like a rose
Lead me to your paradise where our true love grows
and the horns go-
and singers go: Lalalala...
Come dance with me, Ramona
Dance with me, in your paradise!
Ramona, take me to your paradise
Come dance with me, sweet Ramona
Make love to me, Ramona

BUTCH
Gotta get me a girl, gotta go down-town
Don't matter who she is, if she's blond or brown
Don't care what she looks like, thin or fat
Just as long as she's willing and wet, aah
And I got my dental dams and I got my rubber gloves
I'm playing safe, baby, when I make love
and I can do what any man can do
I'm even better and I'll show you that it's true
Get on my motor bike,
Take a ride with a dyke
Oh oh oh, get on my motor bike
I'll take you anywhere you like
Get on my motor bike
Take a ride with a real dyke
Oh oh oh, get on my motor bike
and I'll show you what it's like!
Don't wanna be a woman if it means I gotta wait
I just get on the dancefloor and find myself a date, and
I say 'I like you, you turn me on, I'll take you on my bike
I'm gonna play with you all night, do all the things you like'
And now there's really nothing left to be said
We're gonna have some fun instead
and I can do what any man can do
I'm even better and I'll show you that it's true
But
the next morning, when I wake up, and I look at this chick
I think I've had enough of her, I want another kick
Her skin looks pale without the sexy dress
and her make-up has become a dreadfull mess
I gotta get rid of her, gotta send her away
She's just a one-night stand and I don't wanna pay
and I can do what any man can do
I'm even better, many women say it's true!
NACHTVLINDERS
In het duister van de Dark Room
betast ik haar onzichtbaar gelaat,
haar golvend lichaam
Speelkameraadjes tot de dageraad
De vlam van de kaars flakkert
Zoekend wentel ik me om haar heen
Mijn verliefd steunen, naakt, net als wij
Vonken van lust als sterren in de nacht
Hier, verborgen achter velours gordijnen
openbaart de vrouwenliefde zich aan ons
en de morgen wacht
als een roos, blozend
Kust welkom
onze jonge pracht

THE QUEENS OF LOVERS' LAND II
We're the Queens of lovers' land
Build castles made of dreams
We hold eachothers' hand
in love forever sealed
We're the Queens of lovers' land
dancing cheek to cheek
As we make love we share
the heartbeat that we feel
We're the Queens of lovers' land
The country that we chose
It's where our true love grows
out of the desert sand
We're the Queens of lovers' land
Our love will never end
So sisters, celebrate
the songs that we make

SLEEPING BEAUTY
What are you dreaming of, my little sister?
The smile on your face makes me wanna know
Are you dreaming of love,
whispering sweet little words in your sleep?
The light of the candle draws pictures on the wall
Shades that silently change
I listen so quietly, try not to awake you,
peacefully dreaming the hours away
What are you dreaming of, my little sister?
I fancy a castle with gardens of green
Colourful flowerbirds singing in the trees
and I'm walking into your dream and I see
Down by the pond you are, waiting for me
and you hold me, you tease me so playfully
Sun over paradise, lovemaking in the park,
peacefully dreaming the hours away
Ooh Sleeping Beauty, close your eyes
Ooh Sleeping Beauty, wish I'd live in you dreams
What are you dreaming of, my little sister?
Far from reality, dreaming so free
Drifting away with the waves of the wind
like a seagull, sailing so graciously
And I sit by your side watching the break of dawn,
dreaming my own dream, dreaming of you
'nd I want to make love to you
but I'm too shy to disturb you
I leave you dreaming the hours away

THIS MUST BE A MOVIE
Let's have a good time - Get drunk late at night
Wiping the tears off my face with a smile
Buy some cheap pills - They give such a thrill
Keep the good thing going - Odd people like fish on the street,
and the ugly faces, they look like balloons
Giant rubber balls rolling down the street
Having a good time - Get laid late at night
By women with rotten teeth and tattoos
They offer me anything - Just name your price
Keep the good thing going on sugar avenue
and down in the subway I'm having a laugh
Snakes on the railway - Must be a dream
Don't matter if people look a bit strange
Don't care 'bout the cockroaches living in my room
Let's have a good time - The news just on the tube
and they're all acting weird and I'm having such fun
People get shot by their very own gun
Keep the good thing going - Watching a show on TV
and the pretty faces of the movie stars
They're just make-up and glamour but lovely in bed
Having a good time - Sunbathing on the roof
and the missiles are flying all over my head
They're going to wipe out some fucked up lad
Keep the good thing going - They're kicking ass down there
and I'm having such fun and they're all acting weird
Must be a movie they're shooting right here!

POETESS
She's sitting on a bench in the park,
doesn't feel the rain
It's hot, even when it's dark
Another day in vain
She drinks a bottle of whiskey, alone
She feels so weary
Tries to think, her brain can't make it,
and her heart, it aches
She's writing on a bench in the park,
leaving just a stain
It's hard, even when it's dark
Another night in vain
She wants to write great stories
Brilliant lines of poetry
Shout it out, her voice don't work,
and her stomach hurts
But she wants to write great stories
Brilliant lines of poetry
Shout it out, her voice don't work,
and her heart, it aches..
GETUIGE
In deze rivier
verdronk zij haar zorgen en zichzelf
In deze goot was het
dat zij niet gaf om morgen
In dit lichaam
heeft zij zichzelf verborgen
voor de liefde
Uit angst verkozen te worden,
de streling te verdragen,
te beminnen en te behagen
M'n armen omsluiten
haar kil en levenloos lichaam
Ik voel me dor en eenzaam,
en ik weet dat,
uit angst verlaten te worden,
iedere dag weer
een gevecht betekent
om antwoorden te vinden
op vragen die aan de oever
blijven liggen

MARILYN
Marilyn came walking down the street,
smile on her face, dust on her feet
All the way down from the country side,
She ain't got nothing on her, but her clothes
...and her horn
She hiked all the way down to Chicago,
climbing up trucks, traveling far and wide
Rock 'n 'Roll on the radio,
ain't got no money but a couple of dimes for the phone
and she's all alone
Hey Marilyn...
Play a tune for me, on your wailing saxophone
Hey Marilyn...
Play a tune for me, and come around once more
Marilyn's coming through my door,
puts her horn right down on the floor, she says
'Hey Honey, I'm looking for a job,
a place to stay and play and a bed for the night
and someone by my side'
Hey baby, you can play your Rock 'n' Roll,
just go up there and play your soul
and if you play your horn real nice, I might be
asking you to play some more, just for me
A sweet melody
Now, Marilyn, she get's up on the stage,
She says 'I like to play, to play all day,
First I'll play my horn, then I'll play with you
We can play just as long as you want me to
Nothing else to do
But in the morning Marilyn is gone,
She must 've left, early before dawn,
to hit the road again and again and
I got nothing but the memory of her love
...and her horn
BEZET
Wellustig neemt zij bezit van mij
Nee, zij is geen lady
Nee, zij is niet lief
Niet ontwapenend of zachtaardig
Een vrouw met initiatief
Zij neemt wat ze wil
Zij wil mij
voor één keer..
misschien meer
Ze zegt: Jij
Lekker ding
Verleidelijk ogend
Vlot met de vingers
Losjes van moraal
Het toilet is te krap
voor ons ruige spel
Tegen elkaar aangedrukt
Het WC-papier van de muur gerukt
Slingers voor ons prive-feest
Nee, deze dame is geen dame
Deze dame is een beest!

THE TREASURE OF LOVE
It's the love between women,
that's the Treasure of Love
It's the ladies love,
the Treasure of Love
She's so kind and gentle in my lazy lions bed
Wake up in the morning, feel her hands on my breasts
She's so precious and so wild, she's the diamond of my life
Wake up in the morning, got my lion by my side
We're like pearls in a chain, that remains so strong
We're like pearls in a chain, a chain that'll last so long
The chain that goes on and on and on and on and on we go
on and on and on and on and on and on we go
She's so cute and gorgeous, she's my tiger, she's my bride
Wake up in the morning, hear the purring by my side
She's so precious and so wild, she's the diamond of my life
Wake up in the morning, got my lion by my side
We're like pearls in a chain, that remains so strong
We're like pearls in a chain, a chain that'll last so long
The chain that goes on and on and on and on and on we go
on and on and on and on and on and on we go
She's so mild and naughty when she kisses me all over
Wake up in the morning, feel her hands on my breasts
She's so precious and so wild, she's the diamond of my life
Wake up in the morning, got my lion by my side
We're like pearls in a chain, that remains so strong
We're like pearls in a chain, a chain that'll last so long
The chain that goes on and on and on and on and on we go
on and on and on and on and on and on we go
It's the ladies love
It's the love between women
That's the Treasure of Love

I LOVE WOMEN
Love is the reason, love is the feeling
Love is stronger than anything and I love women
I sing these songs for the women that I've loved and
for the rest of you, I love you too, 'cause I love women
You know, some people say it's strange to be gay
but I was born that way
That is all there is to say
Love don't care if you're gay or square
I know what I'm feeling, It's no decision or choice
I'm glad I'm gay and I'm proud to say 'I love women'
Love is the reason, Love is the feeling
Love is stronger than anything and I love women
It ain't no fashion and it ain't no hype
It's no political thing, you know..
Just listen to the words I sing: I love women
I know what I'm feeling, it's no decision or choice
I am glad I'm gay and I'm proud to say
Love don't care if you're square or gay
This is my last song, but I'll be back again
to sing for you: I love women, I love you
AFSCHEID
Het moment voorgoed verleden
De kans om even samen te zijn
Meer dan alleen dat
Verloren heb ik de onschuld
Genoten van het even
toen je kronkelend over me gleed
Nu doods de blik in de verte starend
de vraag die rest
Of we geliefden waren
