Wat zijn wij aan het doen?

19 mei 2003

Eens een beetje tekst aan het schrijven. Want enerzijds beloofd, en anderzijds ben ik, naast Yoghurt, sinds kort zanger van een nieuwe Haarlemse band, die nog geen naam heeft. Daar heb ik dit voor geschreven (schaven volgt nog):


Fish dishes

Tell me something here - was this your idea
or did someone tell you to do this to me?
Tell me something now - is there logic here
or is this the twisted way you'll forever be?

It's not all fair weather babe, storms may rage at sea
Evil comes to all of us, and so it will to you and me
We could stand together once, now we'll go alone
I'll no longer be that voice you trust, on the phone

Chorus:
Life is guns and roses
Any road has stones
Bad can be in all good poses -
Fish dishes may contain small bones

You're so shallow, so naive, automatic moans
Nothing's real about your sex
Falsehood fills your googleplex
But fish dishes may contain small bones

You want money, need the shoes, so you take the loans
Then the interest rates go tits up
All society just splits up -
Fish dishes may contain small bones

Chorus:
Life is guns and roses
Any road has stones
Bad can be in all good poses -
Fish dishes may contain small bones

You hate kings and empires, queens and all surviving thrones
You'd prefer democracy
But you hate hypocrisy - beware!
Fish dishes may contain small bones

You want war, but cry when bombs fly
And hit the wrong home
Well baby, planners ain't drones
And fish dishes may contain small bones

Chorus:
Life is guns and roses
Any road has stones
Bad can be in all good poses -
Fish dishes may contain small bones

Bridge:
Real love means good and bad
For better and for worse
Every blessing ever had
Counteracts the curse
If they ask you, will you?
Menace in the undertones:
One cough could kill you
Fish dishes may contain small bones

Chorus:
Life is guns and roses
Any road has stones
Bad can be in all good poses -
Fish dishes may contain small bones
