The David Bowie Legacy

by tonyboy | 11January2016 | music

David Bowie left a huge legacy of music with much material still to be released over the next few years. But does his talent excuse his wrong doings. Bowie left five tracks off his last, some say farewell album, intended for a follow up album, perhaps a posthumous...

Identical Twins

A. Callier / T. Bomhof

Some say that we’re never gonna find it
Some say it’s right under our noses
Sometimes we switch to auto pilot
To go where we never dare to go

To forget
That in the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
In the shadows of suburbs that slowly close us in
In the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
Elbowing our way out of this concrete skin

Some say that the truth is right behind us
Sometimes we’re looking back for more
Sometimes we sabotage our wires
To go where we never dare to go

To forget
That in the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
In the shadows of suburbs that slowly close us in
In the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
Elbowing our way out of this concrete skin

Just a little bit more skin
Show me a little more skin

More

A. Callier

We can go up north
But we can not run from
All the daily pressure
All restricted measures

Do you still want more
Intriguing things to explore

We can hide down south
But we shouldn’t doubt
Our imagination

It’s the drug we’re on
I’ve got to ask you

Do you still want more
Intriguing things to adore

All the lights go out
Out of the blue
I hear you whisper subtle words

Norwegian Stars

A. Callier

You tell me a story
It seems a little awkward
To tell you my story
You deserve a lot

You give me no worries
It seems a little vicious
To give you my worries
I do care a lot

Stars in Norway seem brighter
I have never seen such clear sky
In the darkest hour you do shine

Portrait me a story
It seems a little dull to
Reveal you my story
You are all I’ve got

You blind me with worries
It’s all too overwhelming
Our worries tell stories
We do share a lot

Stars in Norway seem brighter
I have never seen such clear sky
In the darkest hour you do shine

Shattered stories
Shattered worries
Who could ever dare to stop us

You do shine

In Wonderland

A. Callier – L. Chiaravalli – J. Price

I’m painting roses
Heavy rain
Colours run
You call my name
I can’t hear you
Way up high
Twinkle twinkle
Stars don’t cry
I will be heard
I will be seen
When I am queen
And what I’ve heard

And what I’ve seen
Will all make sense
When I am queen
Mirror mirror
On my wall
Tell me how
And when to call
The looking glass
That shows no pain
In Wonderland
We’re all the same

I Like The Way I Dance

(A. Callier)

I can’t wake a world
That only wants to sleep
And I can’t change a heart
That doesn’t want to beat
Voice whispers that I don’t fit
Walking down the street
Learning lines to protect myself
The story’s incomplete
Well it’s over
When it’s over
I’m not sober

And I don’t care
I like the way I dance when I’m High
A broken record’s playing
Is all you seem to want to be
I watch you walk in circles
Love, hate, sleep and press repeat
My life is elemental
Need the earth, wind and sea
I’m counting numbers
Look for synchronicity

Badaboum

(both x2)
(Badaboum) Hey ho, t’es tombé sur un salop
(Patatras) Qui pas c’est surement celui de trop!

(male)
(Badaboum) Baby, don’t you know?
You gotta suck it up and let him go.
He calls you baby, but can’t you see?
You’re gonna wind up in a mess like me.

(female)
No, you didn’t understand,
He’s an innocent man.
Nothing to do with your sinister plan
He’s under my thumb.
(male)
No, you know that’s a lie,
He won’t be happy till he makes you cry

(both x2)
(Badaboum) Hey ho, t’es tombé sur un salop
(Patatras) Qui pas c’est surement celui de trop!

(male)
(Badaboum) Baby, don’t you know?
It really hurts to see you suffer so.
He calls you baby, but can’t you see?
You’re only living in a fantasy.

(female)
No, you misunderstood,
When I said he was good.
I simply meant he does me like you never could.
When I’m under his thumb and he’s making me…
(male)
Baby, if that’s the way you feel, it’s best I go

(both x2)
(Badaboum) Hey ho, t’es tombé sur un salop
(Patatras) Qui pas c’est surement celui de trop!

Cocaine Kids

A. Callier – E. Satt – N. Thomas

[Verse 1]
Try a little mushroom pie
Buy, buy a little piece of sky
Now I’m gonna show you how
Meow, meow, says the purple cow

[Chorus]
You can drink ten cups of coffee but
It don’t taste quite the same
(It don’t?)
Absinthe and moonshine in comparison
Are pretty lame
(Uh huh)
Oh it’s hip to be a cocaine kid
I’d rather kick it with the cocaine kids
I’d rather kick it with the cocaine kids

[Verse 2]
Fly through the mushroom sky
Buy, buy a little piece of that pie
Sounds like it left the ground
Honk honk, ‘Til your head spins round

[Chorus]
You can drink ten cups of coffee but
It don’t taste quite the same
(Nope it don’t)
Absinthe and moonshine in comparison
Are pretty lame
(Oh)
Oh it’s hip to be a cocaine kid
I’d rather kick it with the cocaine kids
Nananananana, Cocaine kids, cocaine kids

[Bridge]
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, uh huh cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
I’d rather kick it with the cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
I’d rather sip it with the…

[Spoken Interlude]
The writers of this material in no way encourage
Or condone the use of illicit substances
If you choose to indulge in illegal recreational
Activities, you do so at the risk of prosecution
So why not sit back, relax and have a nice cup of tea and a biscuit, okay…?

[Outro]
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, uh huh cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
Ah cocaine kids, uh huh cocaine kids

Deep Forest

A. Callier – C. Jérôme

[Verse 1]
A growing forest is not as noisy
As a single falling tree
Scary episodes don’t tell us what
The whole story’s gonna be

[Chorus]
As the achy bruises disappear
You’ll be that one scar reminding me
How my vision got troubled
How because of you
I couldn’t see clearly

[Verse 2]
I crossed the desert, a devastated land
Still got blinded by one grain of sand
But losing sight has strengthened my senses
Now I know I need, I need nobody’s hand

[Chorus]
As the achy bruises disappear
You’ll be that one scar reminding me
How my vision got troubled
How because of you
I couldn’t see clearly

[Bridge: Instrumental]

[Chorus]
As the achy bruises disappear
You’ll be that one scar reminding me
How my vision got troubled
How because of you
I couldn’t see clearly
As the achy bruises disappear
You’ll be that one scar reminding me
How my vision was doubled
How because of you
I couldn’t see clearly

Thin Line

A. Callier – C. Jérôme

Although we both know we belong to a different world
Although we both know it’s not wrong to differ
It takes so much more than a guess to know
Although we don’t always share the same thoughts
It wasn’t always the same battle we fought
It takes way more then believe to know

[Chorus]
We can hurt each other with loads of love
We can love each other with loads of hurt
It’s a thin, thin line to make it work

[Verse 2]
My armor is tough to penetrate
And though you don’t always succeed
You keep the faith
Grab my hand, it’s getting late
And though you are not always sure of yourself
Insecure thoughts can be such a hell
But you found a way to break the spell

We can hurt each other with loads of love
We can love each other with loads of hurt
It’s a thin, thin line to make it work
We can hurt each other with loads of love
We can love each other with loads of hurt
It’s a thin, thin line to make it work

We can hurt each other with loads of love
We can love each other with loads of hurt
It’s a thin, thin line to make it work
We can hurt each other with loads of love
We can love each other with loads of hurt
It’s a thin, thin line to make it work

Hiding In A Song

A.Callier – J. Price

Honey I’m a hider
I never ever show my hell
You know I’m not a fighter
Keep my gun pointing at myself
I’ve been thinking real hard now
‘Bout all that you had to say
It got real black and nasty
I want to feel elastic

I close my eyes
Put the music real loud
It’s the only way I know
To ride this storm out
You can cry until the break of dawn
Keep screaming ’til your pretty voice is gone
I’m hiding in a song

Will we ever go back?
Back to heaven’s gate
Where one and all are dead right
Never carry their own weight
I’ve been thinking real hard now
‘Bout all that you had to say
I claim to be elastic
Snap… Nasty

I close my eyes
Put the music real loud
It’s the only way I know
To ride this storm out
You can cry until the break of dawn
Keep screaming ’til your pretty voice is gone
I’m hiding in a song
I’m hiding in a song

You can cry until the break of dawn
Keep screaming ’til your pretty voice is gone
You can cry until the break of dawn
Keep screaming ’til your pretty voice is gone
I’m hiding in a song
I’m hiding in a song
I’m hiding in a song
I’m hiding in a song

Honey I’m a hider
I never ever show my hell

Praise Be

A. Callier – T. Bomhof – O.F. Wichers

Praise be to the working man
I used to be a scientist working in a lab
Creating all my viruses, creating them real fast
67 Nobel prizes, really in my prime
Until one day my rats they said:
Hey boy you’ve got time

I’ve got time
I’m fed up with these rats
I’m starting up a movement with a bunch of killer cats
He’s got time
He’s out every night
Starting out with drinking and always ending up in fights

No lazy days were ever meant for me
Praise be to the working man

Buddha, Buddha, Buddha, Buddha
Buddha, Buddha, Buddha, Buddha
I’ve got time, you’ve got time

And so I went to Asia
And so I went and ran
Hiding from the notorious law and looking for some sun
I was chasing that old dragon
Got hooked on Chinese wine
Greyhound was my middle name
And in Chao-Min I did time
And boy, there I really had some time

No lazy days were ever meant for me
Praise be to the working man…

No meant for me
Praise be to the working man…

(I used to be a scientist working in a lab
Creating all my viruses, creating them real fast
67 Nobel prizes, really in my prime
Until one day my rats they said:
Hey boy you’ve got time)
…man

God's Gift

A. Callier – F. Howard

Don’t be late for me
I won’t wait you see
Got to be quick
I’m too impatient I admit

So don’t be late for me
I don’t like it you see
Don’t blame the past
If this thing is meant to last

I don’t know why you think you can touch
When you talk too much and you’re making a fuss
Stop right there there’s a woman in here
Didn’t mama ever make it clear?

And so you talk in a hideous way
You think you’re smart but that won’t make me stay
You can’t believe that I’m turning you down
Think you’re gods gift but I think you’re a clown

Don’t be too early
No girl likes that, see
Don’t look for words
If you wake up with the birds

Don’t be too early
I don’t like that you see
I’m not very nice
When the sleep is in my eyes

I don’t know why you think you can touch
When you talk too much and you’re making a fuss
Stop right there there’s a woman in here
Didn’t mama ever make it clear?

And so you talk in a hideous way
You think you’re smart but that won’t make me stay
You can’t believe that I’m turning you down
Think you’re gods gift but I think you’re a clown

And so you talk in a hideous way
You think you’re smart but that won’t make me stay
You can’t believe that I’m turning you down
Think you’re gods gift but I think you’re a clown

moving

A. Callier – F. Howard

We’re moving faster than you think
So don’t blink and miss it go by
I know the change will do us good
It’s what they all say, but don’t they look grey?

At least we have the luxury to retrace our steps
Can’t we find something to accept?
I know, that you won’t let it show

We’re moving slower than you think
We won’t sink, if you stay by my side
What’s strange to them is real to us
They make a fuss for no reason at all

At least we have the luxury to retrace our steps
Can’t we find something to accept?
I know, that you won’t let it show

ABC Of Apology

A. Callier A B C D E F G
The alphabet of apology
I learned to talk long time ago
It ain’t hard for me to say no

A B C D E F G
The alphabet of hypocrisy
Too many bad, bad words online
Tasting like cheap quality wine

A B C D E F G
This is not an apology
A B C D E F G
Why don’t you stop hurting me

You can tell me what you want
You can tell me what you need
But the only thing you’ll get is an empty, ugly chair
In an empty house

You can try to agitate
Try to cut me with a blade
But it won’t have any effect on me
And my dignity

A B C D E F G
The alphabet of apology
No way you can get me down
It is time to see me go

A B C D E F G
No time for apologies
Dyslectic feelings won’t make me stay
It’s too late for repentant prayers, prayers
Repentant prayers, prayers

Amalfi

A. Callier – L. Chiaravalli

Morning sunshine
You are always smiling when I open my….
My eyes do shine
Radiate like a nuclear dense cloud

You’re like a real strong cup of tea
Giving me more than energy
Caffeine is just a small advance
For all the triggers that make me

Na nana nana nananana boy you make me dance
Na nana nana nananana you put me in a trance

Good night sleep tight
feels as if I could swim across the ocean
My Film star
Playing the lead in my nightly stop motion

Ginseng is weak compared to you
I’m wandering round without a clue
By enforcing my sweet fantasy
My pheromones are making me

Na nana nana nananana boy you make me dance
Na nana nana nananana you put me in a trance

Long time ago I fell for you
But we had so much more to do
It took a while to synchronize
But now we’re locked it makes me

Na nana nana nananana boy you make me dance
Na nana nana nananana you put me in a trance

Like the amalfi
Coast you are wildly curling beautiful
Hypno-tising
Water makes me fond of the un useful

Long time ago I fell for you
But we had so much more to do
It took a while to synchronize
But now we’re locked it makes me

Na nana nana nananana boy you make me dance
Na nana nana nananana you put me in a trance

Na nana nana nananana boy you make me dance
Na nana nana nananana you put me in a trance

Ether

A. Callier

I can’t talk
I was blinded by your beauty
I am choked
By the things you never said
In silence lies no beauty when the words you said not truly made their point
And so I choke

How can I understand
How you disappeared like a thief in the night
How can I understand
How you vaporised like ether my love

And so I smile
To hide all my sorrow
In a while
You’ll just be one more scar
A scar that will remind me of your cold and painful beauty
But I will
I will survive

How can I understand
How you disappeared like a thief in the night
How can I understand
How you vaporised like ether my love

How on earth are you able
To put me with the trash
Treating me like a stranger
Amputating all we had
You told me you do love me
Is this the way to show
Why did you give me that final blow

And so I smile
To hide all my sorrow
In a while
You’ll just be one more scar

How can I understand
How you disappeared like a thief in the night
How can I understand
How you vaporised like ether my love

Radio Silence

A. Callier – L. Chiaravalli – L. Pagin

I feel so frightened about what’s
Gonna happen today
I feel excited about the
Fact there’s no guarantee

The music seems darker
Whenever you hide
The music seems louder
Whenever you don’t make a sound

You’re driving me crazy
Don’t you dare to stand back
You’re driving me crazy
I’m ready for you to attack

I am frustrated about all
All the things you don’t say
I feel neglected whenever you
Turn your back on me

Telling a story without any words
Did anyone tell you
That radio silence can hurt

You’re driving me crazy
Don’t you dare to stand back
You’re driving me crazy
I’m ready for you to attack

I can not stand radio silence
And it’s making me bleed
I am crazy
Because of you

Turning your back on me
Won’t solve a goddamn thing
Why don’t you
Scream and shout (Because of you)

Turning your back on me
Won’t solve a goddamn thing
Why don’t you
Scream and shout

Turning your back on me
Won’t solve a goddamn thing
Why don’t you
Scream and shout

Turning your back on me
Won’t solve a goddamn thing
Why don’t you
Scream and shout

You’re driving me crazy
I’m ready for you to attack
I can not stand radio silence
and it’s making me bleed
I am crazy
Because of you

Bad Weather

A. Callier

You can tell summer is gone by the smell of leaves
Lying around as a toy for the autumn breeze
Things never change no matte how hard you do say please
Nights are getting cold, soon it will freeze

Oh bad weather
Oh dark weather
The rain pours hard
Can’t see a thing
Erasing the word “together”

Grass is the only thing that’s remaining green
Black bears are preparing for their winter sleep
All geese are flying to far away seas
Days are getting short leaving more time to read

Oh bad weather
Oh dark weather
The rain pours hard
Can’t see a thing
Erasing the word “together”

Hmmm, hmmm

Oh bad weather
Oh dark weather
The rain pours hard
Can’t see a thing
Erasing the word “together”

Long Time Gone

A. Callier

Long forgotten city lights
Twinkling through the soothing night
This city feels abandoned
It’s part of our lives

The air is hot, it trembles
It carries ashes we can’t see
This city feels depressed
A treasure without a key

Long time gone
Time is moving fast
History’s moving slow
Long time gone
Sometimes it is better
Not to know

Long forgotten histories
Stories full of poetry
One day we are happy
The next we’re really sad

Words are trembling in the air
Try to stick but mostly fail
Dyslexic hearts don’t match
They can’t remove the veil

Sleepless

A. Callier

I worry a lot
And I’m never sure
It’s hard to choose
So much to lose
I want things I can’t afford

I cannot sleep
I cannot dream
The night is way too long
Even when I’m counting sheep
The night is way too long

Sleepless nights
Exhausted, too uptight
I don’t think before I speak
It makes me lose sight

The ceiling is all I see
With darkness between you and me
I’m counting every hour
Completely overpowered
It makes me wonder why

I cannot sleep
I cannot dream
The night is way too long
Even when I’m counting sheep
The night is way too long

Feathers And Tar

A. Callier

He won’t come back today
He won’t come back today
There’s things to do and people to see
He won’t come back today

Some people have way too much
They own some fancy stuff
He knows his ways, keeps in the shade
Some people they own too much

So he had a real bold plan
He mentioned it to the wrong man
The liquor always won but now he will be hung
He won’t come back today

So his wife, she had a gun
She gave it to her son
Who wasn’t scared of feathers and tar so he walked into that bar
You can guess who finally won

On And On

A. Callier / N. Sampermans

On and on
Through streets of neon looking for a home
I want to see where I am going but these lights
Are blinding me
I’m close enough
Still too far to see things clear
I want them all
Answers were supposed to be right here
I’m blinded by it all
So I keep going

On and on
I’m walking on the edge of the world
I’m walking on the edge until it hurts

On and on
Paralysed, I’m stuck and I am holding on
It doesn’t really matter where you are
When you can’t move along
Hurry up it don’t revolve around the little wrongs
Left or right the choices that we have
Are all we have so

On and on
I’m walking on the edge of the world
I’m walking on the edge until it hurts

Horrible Person

A. Callier / L. Chiaravalli / C. Saroldi

Picture perfect images on the outside
But you have seen me late at night and know it isn’t bright
‘Cause I drink too much, want my mind stuck
I’m avoiding getting too in touch with deep stuff

Heard a song of mine today on the radio
Should be proud of what they say
‘Stead I feel astray
You are the perfect melody, I’m the wrong chord that ruins the harmony

I’m a horrible person deep down you know I’m bad
I’m a horrible person although it may seem sad
I seem to do fine you know you love my fire
We’re the example that disasters can stay alive
I’m a horrible person and sometimes it makes you glad

Picture perfect failure on the inside
Dare to take a chance just know I might bite
Sometimes we hurt others we work
Let’s walk this line between coffee and herbal tea

Saw a plastic smile on the TV screen
Saying opposites make a great team
You and your cosmic convictions
Me the cold one who says the wrong pun

Remember when we promised to be always there no matter what
You said that storms just wouldn’t phase us wouldn’t change us
So promise me it’s the same that we won’t turn words to bullets no
When I say go away I mean I need you bad

I’m a horrible person deep down you know I’m bad
I’m a horrible person although it may seem sad
I seem to do fine you know you love my fire
We’re the example that disasters can stay alive
I’m a horrible person and sometimes it makes you glad

Looking For Stars

A. Callier

These are the days when we don’t get out of bed
These are the days when nothing is all we have

We are young
We are bright
We have love on our side
Life is one big thrill

We are dumb
We are loud
As if we only can shout
Every night ends the same

We are looking for stars
But we only find sugar
We are looking for stars
These nights are all insane
We are all on a high
Night after night
Lost in outer space
We are looking for stars
But we only find sugar

These are the nights when we don’t go to bed
These are the nights when nothing is already said

We are bold
Play it hard
We have time on our side
Attracted by every sin

We are dumb
We are loud
As if we only can shout
Every night ends the same

We are looking for stars
But we only find sugar
We are looking for stars
These nights are all insane
We are all on a high
Night after night
Lost in outer space
We are looking for stars
But we only find sugar

Concrete Skin

A. Callier / T. Bomhof

Some say that we’re never gonna find it
Some say it’s right under our noses
Sometimes we switch to auto pilot
To go where we never dare to go

To forget
That in the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
In the shadows of suburbs that slowly close us in
In the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
Elbowing our way out of this concrete skin

Some say that the truth is right behind us
Sometimes we’re looking back for more
Sometimes we sabotage our wires
To go where we never dare to go

To forget
That in the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
In the shadows of suburbs that slowly close us in
In the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
Elbowing our way out of this concrete skin

Just a little bit more skin
Show me a little more skin

Uptight

A. Callier / L. Chiaravalli

I start to stutter when I think I care too much
I know I mumble while I try to get in touch
I spill my tonic every time I care too much
I just panic when I start to get in touch oh

Why why why why
Am I way too straight am I always late
You know
Why why why why
Did I end up on this disastrous date
You know

Uptight
Real love makes me feel too uptight
Whenever I’m with you I’m uptight
You love make me feel so uptight
I just care for you

There are crazy things that I will surely regret
When I’m uptight
Next to you
And the closer you get yes the more I’m upset
Getting uptight
Next to you

I start to sweat when think I care too much
I’m smelling bad while I try to get in touch
Running fast from the fact I care too much
Giving up when I start to get in touch oh

Why why why why
Am I way too straight am I always late
You know
Why why why why
Did I end up on this disastrous date
You know

Uptight
Real love makes me feel too uptight
Whenever I’m with you I’m uptight
You love make me feel so uptight
I just care for you

There are crazy things that I will surely regret
When I’m uptight
Next to you
And the closer you get yes the more I’m upset
Getting uptight
Next to you

Count every damn minute
Count every damn date why
Baby can’t we admit it
When the pressure gets high I’m going down

Uptight
Real love makes me feel too uptight
Whenever I’m with you I’m uptight
You love make me feel so uptight
I just care for you

Romantic

A. Callier / L. Chiaravalli

Don’t take me to dinner
Just take me back home
Don’t take me to Venice
Just take me back home
Don’t take me for granted
I’m not that kind of girl

Don’t buy me red roses
Don’t be such a poser
Don’t try to seduce me too
You ‘d like me ecstatic
I know i’ll regret it
If I don’t tell it straight to you
I’m not romantic
I’m not romantic
Don’t be dramatic
Cause i’m not romantic

Don’t take me to Tango
Just take me back home
Don’t be a fandango
Just take me back home
Don’t take me for granted
I’m not that kind of girl

Don’t buy me red roses
Don’t be such a poser
Don’t try to seduce me too
You ‘d like me ecstatic
I know i’ll regret it
If I don’t tell it straight to you
I’m not romantic
I’m not romantic
Don’t be dramatic
Cause i’m not romantic

Paranoid Affair

A. Callier / N. Sampermans

Hello, it’s nice to meet you
I’ve been waiting years up in the blue
Can I come out to play now
This could be the start of something good

So let’s start a paranoid affair
‘Cause love is overrated
So a paranoid affair
Is all that we can think of

Hello boy, I need you
Have you been waiting in the blue?
Come out come out let’s play now
This could be the end of something new

So let’s start a paranoid affair
‘Cause love is overrated
So a paranoid affair
Is all that we can think of

There’s trouble in the pines whenever we are passing through
There’s trouble in the atmosphere between me and you
Every time we try to make this world a better place
The shadows in the pines make us lost

So let’s start a paranoid affair
‘Cause love is overrated
So a paranoid affair
Is all that we can think of

Lethal Skies

A.Callier / N. Sampermans

It’s so divine
To dive and drown
In milk and honey streams

Paralysed
By frantic eyes
Mirrors and the sea

My tender bones
Gently broken by a dose
Of paradise
with lethal skies

It’s so surreal
Predictable
Sedating every fool

Sweet and cruel
Reflections in
An unrevealing pool

My tender bones
Gently broken by a dose
Of paradise
with lethal skies

Boomerang

A.Callier – R. Geerts

He likes to play an electric guitar
He does sing, but not in a choir
He thinks he’s cool with his 19” tires
Got the looks but he’s playing with fire

Always comes back like a boomerang back to me
The words of a liar do hurt like breaking a knee

Sober feels out of control
Evenings are high, morning are lowW
He can’t accept that he’s getting thirty
He’s oh so slow, never in a hurry

He serves desire with hurt as a potion to me
Whenever he’s gone he reinvents the word free

Devil Kind Of Girl

A. Callier

There’s something wrong with me
Something’s wrong with you
The color we do like is a deep, dark blue
Got everything you want
Got everything I need
The only thing you long for apparently is me

I’m not the tiger to hunt
Oo, I’m not the one you want

Locked in your world
Don’t want to be disturbed
Every sense of realism tastes like dirt
You make up your own dreams
A fairy tale of squirrels
You gotta accept boy I’m a devil kind of girl

I’m not the tiger to hunt
Oo, I’m not the one you want

‘Cause you keep saying
You’re the one I want
No I’m not the one you want
You’re the one I need
No I’m not the one you really need
Can’t live without you girl
There’s so much more than me in life
I’ll never be your cute, quiet, lovely, little, sweet wife

You’re the one I want
Don’t say such things
You’re the one I need
Wake up and spread your wings
Can’t live without you girl
I know it’s hard but why don’t you accept
I’m a devil kind of girl

You’re elephant gun
Seems a lot of fun
Your vision is blurred by a very bright sun
You try to hit
But the shoe won’t fit
At midnight I turn into an evil witch

I’m not the tiger to hunt
Oo, I’m not the one you want

‘Cause you keep saying
You’re the one I want
No I’m not the one you want
You’re the one I need
No I’m not the one you really need
Can’t live without you girl
There’s so much more than me in life
I’ll never be your cute, quiet, lovely, little, sweet wife

Single Malt

A. Callier – R. Geerts

You are sailing away
On a lake of madness
On a wave of sadness

You prefer the taste
Of single malt sadness
A dirty shot of madness

You slowly float subconsciously
You don’t even care what it does to me
I used to be your gladness

You are heading
For a storm of illness
A hurricane of sickness

You’ve made your choice
A long time ago
Without giving me the right to vote

You slowly float subconsciously
You don’t even care what it does to me
I used to be your gladness

Even love doesn’t seem to work
As a drug against the rush

I used to be your gladness
Now you are my sadness
I used to be your gladness
Now I am your sadness
Will it all end in madness

Plasticine

A. Callier

You had the perfect opening line
Zero words just a glass of Burgundy wine
You broke the silence, yes you spoke
It only took seconds to make you disappear

Your world is so fake
Full of plasticine and glaze

“The bling” is all you stand for
And everything I hate
Your world is papier mâché
Oh so poorly made
But when I zoom
I see the cracks
That’ll finally make us break

I still remember you gave me that look
You seemed to me as an open book
But once you smiled the dream did die
You made it clear you had to disappear

I’d loved to believe your lies
I’d loved to colour all your black and white
But all your metaphores and poëtics words
That were decorated with hidden thorns
They did reveal you’re fake

Gravity

A. Callier – L. Groeseneken

I, I do stumble
Stumble and fall
Over you

You,
Trip every night
Trip every day
Over me

When we try to swim
We’re drowning even harder

Gravity controls, gravity controls
The way we’re falling
Gravity controls, gravity controls
The way we sink
We’re floating into space, floating into space
So boy, why don’t you kiss me?

Waves
Suck you down
To the bottom
Of the deep dark sea

A twister
Lifts me up
Till the point
I can’t breath

When we try to jump
The floor is even harder

Gravity controls, gravity controls
The way we’re falling
Gravity controls, gravity controls
The way we sink
We’re floating into space, floating into space
So boy, why don’t you

Why don’t you tumble down
So why don’t you hit the ground
So I can keep on fightin
Against natures laws

Wait For A While

A. Callier – L. Chiaravalli

We gotta wait for a while
Wait for a while but we can’t live in denial
Because its almost perfect
Wait for a while (Wait for a while)
Wait till the jigsaw falls into place but right now

I can’t wait any longer
Where’s lighting there is always thunder
Sometimes it makes me wonder
If it wouldn’t be better to

Wait for a while (Wait for a while)
Wait for the right time to unleash our desire
Almost is perfect so
Wait for a while (Wait for a while)
Sometimes the waiting makes it more worthwhile

I can’t wait any longer
Where’s lighting there is always thunder
Sometimes it makes me wonder
If it wouldn’t be better to

Move on
I want to move on
Do you want to move on
Do we have to

Wait for a while or
Should we stop thinking and follow our heart

I can’t wait any longer
Where’s lighting there is always thunder
Sometimes it makes me wonder
If it wouldn’t be better to

Wait for a while
Can we wait for a while (Wait for a while)
Gotta wait for a while
Should we wait for a while
Or move on

Roadblock

A. Callier – N. Wolfs

She ain’t real
She acts likes a stranger
When she walks by

Thinking she plays her own game
She makes me smile

Whenever she’s around
Lemons seem sweet to you
But in the end you’re just a fool in her mixed-up stew

That roadblock between your ears
Disconnects common and sense
You are not a part of her jet black heart
I’m no longer there for you

Wake up
YOou’re acting like a stranger
When you walk by

Think you
Control your own game
You make me sigh

Lemons seem so sweet when I look at you
But in my band there is no place for another fool

You can’t decide who to choose
So bright orange is turning blue
Was the grass greener on the other side

Erased

A. Callier

Were you ever erased
From someone’s mind as if you never existed
Well I am, yes I am erased
The lines of my face rubbed out in your brain

I know it’s over
It feels unfinished

What have I done to deserve this
I’m better of without but still I do miss you
How does it hurt to be erased
Violently torn away from your memories

I know it’s over
It feels like unfinished love
That reminds me every day
How the coldness in your heart has taken my breath away
How can you be stone cold
Leaving me here all alone

Clouds

A. Callier

Some weeks all things seem to go wrong
You lose your keys, at lunch you bite your tongue
Everything slips out of your hands
At work you soldier on

I don’t mind to see you this way
All the clouds around your head are grey
‘Cause I know they’ll part when the weekend starts
And trouble will disappear

Forgetting things can create a mess
And for you it’s hard not to confess
Plates do break
You make mistakes
But still you soldier on

I don’t mind to see you this way
All the clouds around your head are grey
‘Cause I know they’ll part when the weekend starts
And trouble will disappear

But we’ll never surrender
Together we carry on
And if it makes you feel better
Every day I’ll write you a song

I don’t mind to see you this way
All the clouds around your head are grey
‘Cause I know they’ll part when the weekend starts
And trouble will disappear

I don’t mind to see you this way
All the clouds around your head are grey
‘Cause I know they’ll part when the weekend starts
And tears will disappear

Copper

A. Callier – N. Wolfs

You oxidate slowly
You change every time
Our chemical formula
Doesn’t seem right

You polish things slowly
But after a while
Shiny’s too shiny
And bright is too bright

You’re copper baby
You’ll turn into green
If I don’t take care
The glow will disappear

You’re a bittersweet taste
In the back of my mouth
A vicious reaction
That’s burning my mind

You’re copper baby
You’ll turn into green
If I don’t take care
The glow will disappear

You’re copper baby
You’ll turn into green
If I don’t take care
The glow will disappear

Danger Zone

A. Callier

We can’t deny
What’s on our mind
We shouldn’t escape ’cause the truth seems wrong
There ain’t no escape ’cause the magnet’s too strong

The fire is burning hard
And the water is way too far
We’re in a danger zone
Danger zone
We’re both on fire
Danger zone
Danger zone

Time will heal, and healing reduces time
We cannot stand still, no we have to move on
Still there’s a thrill
Can’t we finish this all?

The fire is burning hard
And the water is way too far
We’re in a danger zone
Danger zone
We’re both on fire
Danger zone
Danger zone

The fire is burning hard
And the water is way too far
We’re in a danger zone
Danger zone
We’re both on fire
Danger zone
Danger zone

Renaissance Affair

A. Callier

Sweet relief calms me down
Makes me drown
Lost and found
Neighbours complain
Sheets are stained
Hotel shower
The best around

Spacing from Paris to New York
Silver sunglasses
Silver phone
Connect us to someone
Who doesn’t know
About these feelings we can’t control

People they want us to fall down
But we won’t ever
Touch the ground
‘Cause we’re perfectly balanced
We’ll float around
‘Til noone is near
Do you hear this sound

Spacing from Paris to New York
Silver sunglasses
Silver phone
Connect us to someone
Who doesn’t know
About these feelings we can’t control

This strange feeling captures us
It generates this huge fuzz
I miss you all the time I must face
I miss your touch and your embrace

Eden

A. Callier

Did you ever think of me
As your best friend

Did I ever think of you
I’m not complaining

I never tried to feel
I never tried to feel this vibration
I never tried to reach
I never tried to reach your eden

Did I ever think of you
As my enemy

Did you ever think of me
I’m complaining

I never tried to feel
I never tried to feel this vibration
I never tried to reach
I never tried to reach your eden

Vinegar & Salt

A. Callier – G. Manset – W. Sheller

I like the things that you hate
And you hate the things that I like
But it hurts
Honesty’s your church
But sometimes
Its better to lie
I am the vinegar and salt
And you are the oil that dissolves
My frustration
Honesty’s limitation
But sometimes
Its better to lie
I am the vinegar and salt
And you are the oil that dissolves my frustrations
Limitations
But sometimes
I don’t dare to ask why

Sometimes

A. Callier – S. Engel – J. Franz

Why don’t you ever get the point
You’re much too slow for me
Why don’t we ever flip our coin
Reliability

Some like it a lot
Just give a little to me
That’s why I sing this song

They call us crazy early birds
Too early never hurts
Warmth is not as dangerous as
As dangerous as those words

Some like it a lot
Just give a little to me
That’s why I sing this song

Sometimes
We’ve got to sing this song
Sometimes
It takes us way too long
Sometimes
We’ve got to sing out of key

Winter never gets me down
It’s just a feeling
Feeling fine
To care for you or not to care
A goddamned thin thin line

Sometimes

Mad About You

A. Callier

Feel the vibe, feel the terror, feel the pain
It’s driving me insane
I can’t fake for God’s sake, why am I
Driving in the wrong lane

Trouble is my middle name
But in the end I’m not too bad
Can someone tell me if it’s wrong to be
So mad about you, mad about you, mad

Are you the fishy wine who will give me
A headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine
That’ll explode without a decent warning

Give me all your true hate
And I’ll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That’s why I am
So mad about you, mad about you, mad

Trouble is your middle name
But in the end you’re not too bad
Can someone tell me if it’s wrong to be
So mad about you mad about you
Mad about you mad about you, mad

Give me all your true hate
And I’ll translate it in your bed
Into never seen passion
That is why I am
So mad about you, mad about you
Mad about you, mad about you
Mad about you, mad about you, mad about you

Jackie Cane

A. Callier – C. Dennis

Jackie Cane was everybody’s sugar
She gave it all wherever it took her
They used her up before the sell-by date
To be so sweet was her only mistake

The only flower in a concrete garden
Destined to be the rock that wouldn’t harden

Jackie Cane was everybody’s sugar
She’d melt away if only she could of
Taken for granted
Abused and drained
They ran her dry and
Then it never rained

She was the queen
Of the 25th hour
They looked so sweet
But the after-taste was sour

Salty days for Jackie Cane

Happiness

A. Callier We’re on our way to next train station
Passing fields, my mind is wondering of,
They don’t mean much to me
Happy is a silly word if you
Think about all the joy we had
There’s so much left to see

Is happiness a word without meaning?
Heaven a place in utopia?

But in the end, we keep on moving
Reverse is not, it’s not part of our style
Forward is the only way

Is happiness a word without meaning
Heaven a place in utopia?

We cannot shout silently
We shouldn’t run away so slowly
There’s so much left for us to do
We got to figure out
If happiness has no meaning
If heaven is part of utopia

If happiness has no meaning
If heaven is part of utopia,
Utopia, utopia, utopia, utopia

One Two Three

A. Callier – R. Geerts

I got my mind set on you
You make me wonder
how you do the things you can do
I got my eyes locked on you
You make it easy
You make me dream the whole day through
To me you’re perfect
you’re perfect to me
Before we know we’re at one two three
I got my mind set on you
Oh all the things you
All the things we could do
Why don’t you move slow
Why don’t you move closer to me
Is it a problem
if I would come closer to you
Why can’t I get you out of my mind
Oh how I long to be with you

The Night Before

A. Callier – R. Geerts

I ring your bell
The buzzer opens the door
As I walk in, I only mind the floor

I raise my head and I see
A shadow on the wall
Vibrantly, reminding your last call

You are lying on the floor
Trying to remember
What happened the night before

Step by step
The sound of breaking glass
What happened here, well I can only guess

You seem asleep
As I try to put you on the bed
As I find traces of regret

You are lying on the floor
Trying to remember
What happened the night before

You, are you really that sure
That I’m the prince who’ll wake you?

We can’t rewind the movie called our life
And though I’m your hero
I’m not that sure, so unsure I’ll save

You are lying on the floor
Trying to remember

You are lying on the floor
Trying to remember
What happened the night before

You, are you really that sure
That I’m the prince who’ll wake you?

Heartbroken

A. Callier – L. Chiaravalli

Since you’ve been gone
you’ would think I feel lonely
cry all night
lose my mind
I’m all alone and it feels like a blessing
well does that disappoint you

I put out all the stops
to feel sad to miss all we had
but I’m sorry I ain’t heartbroken
I put out all the stops
To regret all the fights we had
but really I ain’t heartbroken

Hey I feel great
I feel strong does it really seem so wrong
not to long
for you and the way you’ve been trying
to control me
well you know what
those days are over

Sometimes you should stop

The Last Thing I Need Is You

A. Callier – C. Dennis – P. Campbell

Oh hell, what a glorious day it’s been
Oh Lord, look at the mess I’m in
My car broke down
So I waited for a shuttle bus
It never came, instead, I got the rain…
I broke a heel, I chipped a nail, I lost the dog, How could I feel?
On days like these, on days like these…

The last thing I need is you
And your black-and-white-views
Pushing me over
Making a bad day worse
What are you a curse
Hey why can’t you see, on days like these
The last thing I need, is…

Gee-wiz what a barrel of fun it’s been
Oh yeah, laugh at the mess I’m in
Hey hey, what a triple odd place to be
The doctor said, that it’s not good for me
I broke a tooth, I torn my shirt
I lost the zip, of my favorite skirt
Then you told me, that I was a bore in bed

The last thing I need is you
And your black-and-white-views
Pushing me over
Making a bad day worse
What are you, a curse?
Hey why can’t you see
On days like this
The last thing I need, is…
Papapapapa…
Papapapapa…
Papapapapa…
Papapapapa…
The last thing I need is you
And your black-and-white-views
Pushing me over
Making a bad day worse
What are you, a curse?
Hey why can’t you see
When I’m in a rush, or lost in a cue
When I need a break, The last thing I need is…

Unfinished Sympathy

G. Marshall – A. Vowless – R. Del Naia – J. Sharp – S. Nelson

I know that I’ve been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me, baby, really hurt me, baby
How can you have a day without a night?
You’re the book that I have opened
And now I’ve got to know much more
The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me, baby, really hurt me, baby
How can you have a day without a night?
You’re the book that I have opened
And now I’ve got to know much more

Like a soul without a mind in a body without a heart
I’m missing every part

Like a soul without a mind in a body without a heart
I’m missing every part
Like a soul without a mind in a body without a heart
I’m missing every part
Like a soul without a mind in a body without a heart
I’m missing every part

Anger Never Dies

A. Callier

See the leaves how slow they tumble down
Covering the green and yellow lawn
As proof of what has been and what will come
Enjoying hazy light of early dawn

It ain’t good enough, good enough
Good enough to try and not succeed
Succeed

Anger never dies
It’s part of life, it’s part of you
The end will cease the fire
And make us accept we tend to lose

See the tears how slow they tumble down
Covering who believes in empty vows
As proof of what has been and what will be
Alcohol puts us both to sleep

It ain’t good enough, good enough
Good enough to try and not succeed
Succeed

Anger never dies
It’s part of life, it’s part of you
The end will cease the fire
And make us accept we tend to lose

Anger never dies
It’s part of life, it’s part of you
The end will cease the fire
And make us accept we tend to lose

Anger never dies
It’s part of life, it’s part of you
The end will cease the fire
And make us accept we tend to lose

We tend to lose

Expedition Impossible

A. Callier

This is no Indian dream
This is no boat on the sea
Exploring you was never that easy

This is no silicon chip
This is no colonial ship
Exploring you was never that easy

We cannot swim to the shore
Every wave does ask for more
This vicious circle will be hard for us to break for sure

This is no pond or a lake
This is as much I can take
Exploring you was never that easy

This is no Amazon stream
This is what’s left of our team
Exploring you was never that easy

We cannot swim to the shore
Every wave does ask for more
This vicious circle will be hard to break for sure

We cannot swim to the shore
Every wave does ask for more
This vicious circle will be hard to break for sure

George's Cafe

A. Callier

At George’s café there’s no room for lovers
At George’s café we only drink doubles

‘Cause the vibe is slightly strange
And love is out of range

At George’s café you only find trouble
At George’s café you’re always undercover

‘Cause the light is slightly grey
No reason for me to pay
At George’s café

I’ve been here for a million times late
Trying hard to forget your eyes, Grace

At George’s café smoke does linger
At George’s café you gently pull the trigger

Now it hurts to see your smile
Fading fast with every lie
At George’s café

I’ve been here for a million times late
Trying hard to forget your eyes, Grace

2wicky

A. Callier – R. Geerts – B. Bacharach – H. David – P. Henry

Prophet 60091
This is the flight number of our galactic sun
Prophet 60091
Before we start you should know that you’re not the only one
Who can hurt me

SH10151
This is the serial number of our orbital gun
SH10151
You better be sure before you leave me for another one
You can hurt me
I can hurt you
You can hurt me

You can hurt me
I can hurt you
But you better be sure before you leave me for another one

I can hurt you
You can hurt me
But you better be sure before you leave me for another one
