Humdrum (The Corrs)

Hey you're too true to be good
And I'm to bad to pretend
Transparent and transfixed, I'm uncool

Heart beat you're looking at me
Must stop I'm letting you see
This isn't how I want it to be

I have visions like no other
So romantic you'll discover

I wanna take you for granted
Drift while you're talking
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone

Fall asleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes

(I wanna)

This is every girl's dream
No milk left for your tea
Baby's crying louder than me
Who lost the keys of your car
Sorry that would be me
I'd wake up only I'm not asleep

I have daydreams of an other
So romantic you'll discover

I wanna take you for granted
Drift while you're talking
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone

Fall asleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes

(I wanna)
(I wanna)

I have daydreams of another
So romantic you'll discover

I wanna take you for granted
Drift while you're talking
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone

Fall asleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes

Let me take you for granted
Drift while you're talking
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone

Fall asleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes

(I wanna)
(I wanna)

Did I say that out loud?

Goodbye (The Corrs)

I never thought
one day you'd be gone,
away forever more
No one can say,
no one could explain
why you were taken

Oh where are you now?
Could I get there somehow?

It's time to say goodbye
Block out the sun
pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why

Tell me it's true
tell me there's something more
Another time for love
One day I'll know
one day I'll be there
Will you be waiting?

Oh where you are now?
Could I get there somehow?

It's time to say goodbye
Block out the sun
pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why
Try to stop asking why... yeah...

Where are you now?
Could I get there somehow?

It's time to say goodbye
Block out the sun
and pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why, why
Try to say my goodbye

Boerke Naas (Guido Gezelle)

Wie heeft er nog het lied gehoord
Het lied van boerken Naas.
't Is waar, 't en had geen leeuwenhart
Nochtans, 't en was niet dwaas
Boer Naas, die was twee runders
Gaan verkopen naar de stee
En bracht als hij naar huis toe kwam
Zes honderd franken mee

Boer Naas die maar 'nen boer en was
Nochtans was scherp van zin
Hij ging en kocht een zevenschot
En stak er kogels in
Alzo kwam Naas, met stapkens licht
En met de beurze zwaar
Hij zei: Och 'k wilde dat ik thuis
Al in mijn bedde waar!

Al met ne keer. Wat hoort boer Naas
Juist achter hem in dien tronk?
Daar roert ietwat. Daar loert ietwat
't Dacht Naasken dat verzonk!
En eer dat 't ventje asem had
Zoodanig was 't ontsteld
Daar grijpen Naas twee vuisten vast
En 't ligt daar neergeveld

't En hoorde noch, 't en zag bijna
En 't voelde bijna niet
Tenzij dat 't een pistole zag
En hoorde zeggen: 'k Schiet
Ik schiet zoo gij op staande voet
Niet al Uw geld en geeft
En g'hebt van hoe ge weert, nee man
Uw laatste dag geleefd!

Boer Naas, die alle dagen, vijf
Zes kruisgebeden bad
Om lang te mogen leven, peist
Hoe hij in nesten zat.
Wat zal ze zeggen, kreesch boer Naas
Wanneer ik huiswaarts keer?
Hij heeft het weerom al verlapt!
Gij zatlap, nog 'nen keer.

Hoort hier, mijn vriend, believe 't U
Toog dat gij minzaam zijt.
Och schiet ne kogel door mijn hoed
En spaar mij 't vrouw verwijt
'k Zal zeggen als ik thuis geraak
Men heeft mijn geld ontroofd
En letter scheelde 't of ik had
Ne kogel door mijn hoofd

De dief die meer van kluiten hield
Als van boer Naas zijn bloed
Schoot straks ne kogel deur
Den bom van zijnen hoed
Bedankt, zei Naas en greep zijn slep
Schiet nog een deur mijn kleed;
De dief legt aan, en Naasken houdt
Zijn piteleerken gereed

Schiet nog een door mijn broek, zei Naas
Toen peist mijn wijf, voorwaar
Als dat ik bij mirakel ben
Ontsnapt aan lijfsgevaar;
De rover zegt: Nu zal 't wel gaan
Waar is de beurze. Snel!
'k En heb noch tijd noch kogels meer.
Ik wel! Zegt Naas. Ik wel.

Zijn zevenschot haalt Naas toen uit.
En spreekt: Is 't dat ge u niet
In een, twee, drij van hier en pakt
Gij galgendweil, ik schiet
Ik schiet zo gij mij nader komt
Uw domme kop in gruis.
En als gij Naas nog beroven wil,
Laat uw verstand niet thuis

En loopen dat die rover deed,
De beenen van zijn lijf
Zo snel, dat 't onbeschrijflijk is
Hoe snel dat ik het schrijf!
Hier stoppe ik, dicht nen ander nu.
De voois is op. Boerke Naas
't Is waar, 't en had geen leeuwenhart
Nochtans, 't en was niet dwaas

Poison (Stan Van Samang)

Try as I might
you do as you will
Pullback the blinds
Turn on the light
Move in for the kill
You find it in me
Fallen from grace
Affliction I don’t want to see
In front of my face
But I take you now
To break me down

Poison
Your poison
It’s perfect for me
So pour on your poison
It makes me feel free
It makes me feel

I’m burning inside
Where I’ve been numb
My old addictions tell me
I should turn and run
But I take you now
To break me down

Poison
You’re poison
To pain that’s in me
The cure of your poison
It makes me feel free

It makes me feel
It makes me heal
It makes me feel
I could even be alive

Poison
Your poison
It’s perfect to me
The cure of your poison
It makes me feel free

Your poison
It’s all that I need
So pour on your poison
It makes me believe
It makes me feel
It makes me heal
It makes me feel
It makes me heal

Change Your World - Martyn Joseph

Are you down to your last ray of hope
Well they say that's the moment things turn around
Don't you give up the fight you can cope
You can be so amazingly strong
And you can't let go
You have come so far

And I know that it's been rough
But your patience has to pay
And it can't be soon enough
And if I could have my way
I would change your world
I'd change it right away

Are you down to your last drop of love
Even so you should give it away
Let it sail with your dreams to the sun
And return to you laden with promises
And you can't let go
I won't let you fall

And I know that it's been rough
But your patience has to pay
And it can't be soon enough
And if I could have my way
I would change your world
I'd change it right away

na na na

And you're tired of chasing love
‘Cos it never seems to stay
And it can't be soon enough
And if I could have my way
I would change your world
I'd change it right away

Are you down to your last weary smile
So put it on now, and wear it with dignity
It's time now to walk one more mile
Very soon there are going to be changes

And I know that it's been rough
But your patience has to pay
And it can't be soon enough
And if I could have my way

Yes I know that it's been rough
But your patience has to pay
And it can't be soon enough
And if I could have my way
I would change your world
Change it right away

I would change your world
There would not be a delay
I would change your world
I'd change it right away

Have And Angel Walk With Her

I cherish the ground you walk upon
When you look up I stare you down
But it's not we who hurt the most
Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Free in my thinking
but slave to my thoughts I am
I am

So have an angel walk with her
And the demons stay with me
Some who walk this earth
Are not meant to be free

I curse the hold you have on me
I'd walk the ocean to be free
I want to taste the very kiss
Of all the good things that I miss

Free in my thinking…
but slave to my thoughts I am,
I am

So have an angel walk with her
And the demons stay with me
Some who walk this earth
Are not meant to be free

I have laid awake calling out your name
I have laid myself open to the blame
But I have to say I need to ask
Who on earth would set this task?

So have an angel walk with her
And the demons stay with me...
Some who walk this earth
Are not meant to be free

Dolphins Make Me Cry - Martyn Joseph

Don't know what the world is gonna do
Or if we can get off now
the road that we're on
There's hate in my brother's eye
and as the time goes by
I get harder

They say we learn by our mistakes
and then we carry on
Sometimes I'm not sure
sometimes I'm not sure
There's no brakes on this car
as it rolls down the hill
My muscles are straining now,
my foot's through the floor

Perhaps that's why, perhaps that's why
I see the dolphin and it makes me cry
As I look in your eye as I look in your eye
As the time goes by, it makes me cry

Don't want to go to school anymore today
Coz history keeps on and on
repeating herself
She can't forgive she just licks all of her wounds
And sore is the day
and sore is the night

Perhaps that's why, perhaps that's why
I see the dolphin and it makes me cry
As I look in your eye as I look in your eye
As the time goes by, it makes me cry

When I was a boy when I was growing up
I remember life was so simple then,
life was so sweet
Now that I'm older I am wise as a fool
I keep on breaking
those golden, golden rules

And perhaps that's why, perhaps that's why
I see the dolphin and it makes me cry
As I look in your eye as I look in your eye
As the time goes by, it makes me cry

Did you ever touch the loneliness of a broken man
Did you ever see a starving child die
Do we really do these things to one another
Do you see why... dolphins make me cry

One Of Us (Martyn Joseph)

If god had a name, what would it be?
And would you tell it to his face
if you were faced with Him in all His glory?
What would you ask if you had just one question?

And yeah, yeah, God is great.
Yeah, yeah, God is good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What if god was one of us,
just a slob like one of us,
just a stranger on the bus
trying to make his way home?

And if God had a face, what would it look like?
And would you want to see it there
if seeing meant that you would have to believe
in things like heaven and in Jesus, the saints
and all of the prophets?

Yeah, yeah, God is great.
Yeah, yeah, God is good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What if god was one of us,
just a slob like one of us,
Just a stranger on the bus
trying to make his way home,
back up to heaven all alone.
with nobody calling on the phone,
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome.

Yeah, yeah, God is great.
Yeah, yeah, God is good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What if god was one of us,
just a slob like one of us,
just a stranger on the bus
trying to make his way home,
just trying to make his way home,
just like a holy rolling stone?

Back up to heaven all alone,
just trying to make his wayhome.

Nobody calling on the phone,
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
