Wat zijn wij aan het doen?

7 maart 2002

Aan het schrijven. Naast een aantal nieuwe gedichtjes is ook de eerste van die twaalf songteksten af (en daarmee is het nog geen song, maar liedjes gaan over de tekst en de rest is secundair - blij dat ik dat eens gezegd heb):


Yes you might (van Reenen/van Reenen)

You once chided me for writing
All my songs on love
But you still have to prove to me there's
Anything above

And I have never found a subject
Worthy of the prose
But matters of the heart
And all the dangers that they pose

And you will not control the way
That I decide inside
There's better things left here to say
Than all the things you fail to hide

And all your precious antics
Refrain from painting me
So here's to real romantics
Guardians of the free

Chorus:
Yes you might - but I would not
In a fight - I might get shot
I might hurt - or even die
But rather to than live your lie

And I've not been around you when
Things happened in your life
And I was nowhere near when you declined
To be his wife

But now I want you here
And I can't live on through tonight
Too large a part belongs to you
It's love that kills on sight

Bridge:
So yes you might - and I would too
In a fight - I'd fight for you
I might hurt - or even die
But rather that than live a lie

Chorus:
And so you might - but I would not
In a fight - I might get shot
I might hurt - or even die
But rather to than live your lie
