@ALBUM: Alankomaat (1998) @SONG: Sister Rosa Sister Rosa I'm not living like a nun I flew a thousand miles to see you I have to start where I've begun You, with that smile on your face You cannot say what you mean but you mean to say that all of your dreams were blown away Sister Rosa I'm falling on my knees Jesus and Maria forgive me please me with my soul in my hand I walked into your sanctuary today and all of my sins are blown away You, with that smile on your face You cannot say what you mean but you mean to say that all of your dreams are blown away SisterRosa now put your feet back on the ground You're floating up in heaven won't you come down on your feet How long Has this been going on @SONG: Three Sisters Mother bought a jacket for the rain with a capuchin lightning strikes an aeroplane in a dream sister talks about hello and goodbye passing 'the Anger and the Hope' Frightened by the world she said the angel takes your soul away she changed the darkness in the light of the day sister takes her bear to the zoo to the elephant and the little bird blue Frightened by the world love is a roomful of strangers love is a suitcase filled with danger Frightened by the world Mother where are you, father where are you we can never find our home anymore Three sisters in the back of the room Three sisters hand in hand at the zoo Frightened by the world By the world @SONG: Hold me Geneva It's a straight road through the heart of town and it leads to the lake and there I found this old fountain is still falling down in a town like Geneva everything is melting like swiss cheese and the rich men fall down on their knees hold me it's getting colder hold me I'm getting colder too Pierre Michel said 15 words 15 short answers if you dare we are upstairs in the red rooms of the hotel Clos Voltaire his girlfriend is taking photographs she's always hanging around she's like the fountain of Geneva always falling down today I'm leaving with another train in my home of rain don't think I'll ever be back again my heart is empty, my head is empty now the road to the lake I will never find because I use this map of dreams and it is filled with colours and streets I've never seen the car is driving, I will return back on the road to Bāle and Bern @SONG: Robinson In the movie "The Graduate" a young boy Benjamin, is seduced by a much older woman, Mrs Robinson. After thirty years Benajmin realizes he is still in love with her and he starts looking for Mrs Robinson. In this song we were using lines from the old songs of Paul Siman, like in a collage. We asked permission to put his words in the song, but this weas refused. So we had to change the lyrics of Robinson. Who is the hammer and wo is the nail? Nevertheless you will find here the lyrics from the CD and the lyrics sung live by Henk.

afraid in my changing room A baby is born in a hospital the time is standing still the train stops the raindrops on the window, don't go her shadow falls on the street when she left the Tanzschule her shadow falls on the street the heartaches, the headaches the mistakes, the daybreaks the sunset on a small bed the sleepless night, I can't forget @SONG: Louder & Louder louder and louder you keep crying louder no one can hear you higher and higher you keep flying higher no one can see you lower and lower you keep falling lower no one will be there to help you louder and louder no one can hear you higher and higher you keep flying higher no one can reach you lower and lower you keep sinking lower no one will catch you louder and louder you keep crying louder no one will be there to help you louder and louder no one can hear you you cry louder and louder no one can hear you lover and lover I keep thinking of her @SONG: H.O.M. it's a rainy day in a rainy town in this heart of mine in this heart of mine cloud in my head and my head in a cloud in this heart of mine People say that there is no one there in this heart of mine it's a rainy day in a rainy town in this heart of mine I can't understand why I'm feeling this way I came home but my home's blown away there's nothing but an empty space in this heart of mine We're all walking on a tightrope strung in this heart of mine People say that there is no one there in this heart of mine @SONG: All I Want Gimme some time Sometimes I'm so afraid Gimme some love That nobody loves me Gimme some hope I hope it's not true Gimme some love That's not what I want All I want my shadow on a street fire on a mountain child in my head Gimme some light Sunlight in the morning Gimme some rain Holes in my shoes Gimme some blues I'm standing on the crossroad Gimme some money That's not what I want @SONG: The light I had no reason to be so afraid I came to the mountain and the sun went down there was something in the air there was a hole in the ground an old man went in and a little child came out your light will shine, will shine, will shine I came to the house at the other side of the town the sun was pouring down like honey on the ground an old man went in and a little child came out I came to a room at the backside of this house There was something in the air and the wind blew through this house and I saw my father standing near the window with a light he was looking at the darkness of his never changing night @SONG: Rainfallagain sometime in a nameless place she told me about her childhood days trust me what I have to say say it in the morning or at the end of the day I never was a child who played outside to hide and seek, I was the one to hide I never was this happy child Rainfallagain, niagallafniar rain Rainfallagain, fall again, fall again fall again, rain Don't misunderstand me I love my life and my heart beats strong I will never be a mother like my mother I'm another can't you see That this life in the lowlands means nothing, nothing to me @SONG: House of Jacob There's a story she told me about a ghost in this room He's walking at night with a stick and a broom He sits down beside me He looks in my eye His face is so pale like the moon in the sky In the house of Jacob There's a tape in a shoe box with the voice of a boy he's singing 'She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah' There's a shop around the corner where a man is cutting hair he's talking to mirrors he will always be there In the house I grew up In the house of Jacob I don't know how I don't know when He's coming back my long lost friend In a big brown building there's a blue swimming pool It's hot like a desert but the water is cool The tower of Rembrandt throws a shadow so black on the houses of my street when I'm coming back to the house of Jacob There's a story she told me about a ghost in this room he moves like a cloud he goes through my head Ghost through my head @SONG: Soul Man See this tall man walking the streets of Helsinki he is called Seppo, he is a friend of mine from Finland He tells me: Henk she left me again and I went back to my old apartment close to the graveyard Nobody loves you, nobody cares You're like this leaf that's falling down Nobody likes you and nobody cares You're like this leaf that's falling down on the ground soul man, soul man I hope I can be your friend be your friend again Now he's all alone in the radio studio at night he is a disk jockey working for Radio Mafia Helsinki Sometimes women call him in the night Nobody likes you, nobody cares You're like this leaf that's falling down Nobody loves you and nobody sees that You're like this leaf that's falling down on the ground One night we went walking from the Torni hotel to the Kosmos restaurant and we were not allowed inside, we were wearing the wrong shoes that's Helsinki Blues So we went along the Vanha to the station And we were watching the trains to Saint Peter disappearing in the night @SONG: Letter to E. Amsterdam, the first of June 1992 Dear Eric, yesterday evening I came home late I went to the shelf with the videotapes I saw the tape of Geneva, March 31. 1984 The day we went to the fountain Flavia, you and me It's a circle of women with names that ended with an A they went away they went away Remember you said you wanted a photograph of the four of us we watched the fountain, we walked in Geneva around the Russian church with the golden onions we saw a guitar in the window it was great like a Picasso-painting Now frame by frame the water fell from the fountain today your necklace is broken the string of pearls, the gallery of portraits the women that ended with an A The frozen moment of a summers day It was a circle of women with names that ended with an A they went away that's ending on Y
