WHAT’S IN A NAME

2000

01. BELOVED BYGONE

[presente somente na versão brasileira do álbum]

The rain inside my head becomes an ocean

And it’s dying to come out

But I cant shed no tears: blank emotion, just floating around.

From chair to bed but I cant sleep, you’re not here.

I take a sword to fight the fear over you.

Can not think, can not drink, can not weep, can not sleep

Can’t believe what those liars are telling me, that you died all alone with your head near the phone, 

that you didn’t an answer ‘cos I wasn’t home

Just two days ago we had some fun

The laughing just went on and on...

Just one day ago you smiled that smile

Which took me a thousand miles away

From bed to bath, my brain explodes

It’s just not fair

Where is sword that can best death

‘Cos I want you

Look outside and count the stars above and there

Are 32

Yesterday there were 31, so that one must be you

I miss you, don’t know what to do

Don’t know where to go, it’s the end

02. SENSE AND SENSABULLETY

[presente somente na versão brasileira do álbum]

Here they are now, they’re marching again

Oh what a bunch of pricks

Their mouths are bigger than their brains

And they think that might do the trick

A friend said if you close your eyes

They might go away

But I know that can’t be true

‘Cos I also them yesterday

My bird’s eye view tells me there’s something I must do

‘Cos they’ll crack the whip

If I don’t something to fight it

So I hit them hard, right from the start

I’ll clear the desk for action

So I hit them hard, from the start

When the chips are down

You’re spoiled for choice

Don’t know if you heard the phrase

“Once bitten, twice shy”

My owner’s manual say beware

Before they can multiply

Put my helmet on, big boots on

And my most evil smirk

Only one minute to go and

I’ll freak out and go berserk

My bird’s eye view tells me there’s something I must do

‘Cos they’ll crack the whip

If I don’t something to fight it

So I hit them hard, right from the start

I’ll clear the desk for action

So I hit them hard, from the start

When the chips are down

You’re spoiled for choice

03. BEAU

18 years to pick me up

From the ground, they never tried 

To lift me up

It something made me wonder why

They didn’t dare to simply leave me there to die

18 years, not long enough

the restlessness and awkwardness

of feeling bound

I didn’t choose to live this life

I hate myself as much as I hate you

It took 18 years to free me from these fears

From hiding all those tears

Ruling my world and now my grave

It took 18 years to free me from these fears

From hiding all those tears

Ruling my world

18 years to lift me up

from the bed my mother made for me

it took 18 years to clearly believe and see

that though no longer my hands and feet were tied

I would always end up wired

LIAR: no need to step out of line they said

LIAR: they tried to trample me and now I’m dead

LIAR: no need to step out of line? You should step out right now

In your car, I was lucky, well, you know

It felt as if I was free, the great wide open

But the doors, they spoiled my dreams

I could not drive

Start the engine to end this life

18 years just long enough in a life that’s just too rough

I’d really like to trade my body in

04. MARIA

At school they taught her

To always pray real hard

Then God would come and give

Some peace to her heart

But with her unborn son

Hidden in a bin

She couldn’t pray no more

Cause where should she begin

And now she wants love

She don’t want pain

She sits and dreams and

She’s waiting for a sign

From the Very Holy God

High up in the air

Saying to Maria

Girl, I do care

She knows just what she’s done

And that she lives in sin

But something just went wrong

A fight she could not win

Although she begged him no

And God did not come down

The angels in her head

They made her wedding-gown

And now she wants love

She don’t want pain

She kneels down and

She’s waiting for a sign

Her mummy threw her out

Her dad he spat on her

The unholy Maria

Discarded girl

And now she wants love

She don’t want pain

She sits and prays and

She’s waiting for a sign

From the Holy God

To get off his cloud and hurl

Shouting to Maria

You kick ass, girl

05. FRANKIE

Frankie's never been to school but she's nobody's fool

She can outsmart you all

Frankie just threw her husband out,

'cos that's something she can do without

Never took care of her kids

Only after ass and tits

Nightshifts and early wake-up calls

Children running in the hall

But Frankie is ok

Now she's waiting in line to buy a ticket for the lottery

With a big smile on her face

Frankie tries to soothe her troubled mind

Because life isn't always kind

She's sure things will work out

She keeps her hands firmly on her purse

In which the lottery ticket burns

Today a tramp tomorrow queen

And if not: dreams are for free

Dayshifts and late-night calls

A lot of screaming in the hall

But Frankie is just fine

Now she's waiting in the line

With 3 shopping bags in a grocery

And a big smile on her face

Then a man says: “Bitch, move your fad ass a bit’

Frankie says “Thanks for the compliment,

You ugly piece of shit!

I am a bitch

But that's why I manage

And talking 'bout my ass

Well, you can fucking kiss it”

She never even checked the number of her lot

It might have been on purpose or maybe she forgot

The thought of being lucky simply was enough

Don't let nobody drag you down

But play it rough

06. ROBERT

Just a few questions which I wanna ask

Just a few questions now

Just a few questions which I wanna ask

Just a few questions now

I’ve been alone at places where I’d wanted to be

Looked to all the other workers who were standing beside me

They stole my pretty face and

I walked silently through the wall

Wish I’d never found that place now

Wish I never knew at all

Though I earned lots of money

My ship never sailed in

They simply took my youth and my will

The noise inside my head now

The love forever gone

I’m down and out, completely forlom

Just a few questions which I wanna ask

Just a few questions now

Just a few questions which I wanna ask

Just a few questions now

07. JULIE HILL

She’s feeling so sad now, like a clown

Double exposure, double frowns

As she sits there high up in that tree

Julie she wonders now she’s the only one

Caring enough to call the earth her home

As she hears those machines roar

Julie, redwood pioneer

Nothing has changed since she heard that old song

They’re cutting the hair again of her beloved one

And she’s high now, nigh again

The wind whispers lullabies so Julie can sleep

60 meters from her past so deep, the future must be saved

Julie, redwood pioneer

Those guys below her on the ground

Are fighting cause time is money

And Julie needs to be shut down

But the wind and the trees so firmly fight

The branches keep her so tight

That Julie can’t be reached

08. KAIN & MABEL

The cat is on a hot tin roof and I guess that is another proof

Why things are not working out

The grapes of wrath turned sour again

I have to come up with another plan

Can’t remember what this fight was about

But I know it’s not my fault

Give me back what you have taken

Everything is mine

Only the blame is yours

You can take your pills and all your bills and

Shove ‘em up your ass

Go fight other wars

Like the day I sold your ugly guitar

And you thought I went a little bit too far

But my ears said: go girl go

And my ears and my eyes can never be wrong

So listen to all that stupid songs

Was like giving birth to a whale

And I guess that meant, it’s not ok

09. AMY

[não tem essa letra no encarte]

10. SILY SOSORRY

It’s all about the game, it’s all about the fortune and fame

It’s all about the money, how much we can gain

But we’re gonna cheat, we’re gonna play out the tune

And our bluffing tactics will simply be: telling the truth

What she wouldn’t give

To live the life they live

Splendid, spend it

Sign the contract here

Say goodbye to your integrity

The dollar replaced the ideals

Spoiled now to the core, never mind, never mind

Suddenly turned deaf, dumb and blind

But the light shines bright

Once a punk, now a junk

Attracted like flies

Half the body changed

Half the brain arranged

Lick it, taste it, suck it

They gave that rose

An almost lethal overdose

Silly’s SoSorry now

Spoiled now to the core, never mind, never mind

Suddenly turned deaf, dumb and blind

But the light shines bright

Once a punk, now a junk

Attracted like flies

Spoiled now to the core, never mind, never mind

Suddenly turned deaf, dumb and blind

I guess they would eat shit to reach the top

And become a member of the Silly Sorry Lot

11. BUTCH

I walked down to the park, the empty afternoon

And then I had some drink so I would feel much better soon

And then I phantomed a future without you by my side

And then I drank some more to make me feel alright

You didn't see me there, on my own

Maybe you did see me but you just walked back home

And I don’t mind, I don’t see

What is wrong with you and me

Don’t give me that shit again

‘Cos I already been there

I don't mind, I don't see

What is wrong with you and me

Don’t give me that shit again

'Cos I’ve already ate it

Then I walked along the empty avenue

And then I had some more to drink 'cos the end would come up soon

And then I thought I saw you walking hand in hand

With some other chick you know,

Some butch from the other end of town

You didn't see me strangling in your web

Like a fly to get out, unable to move one step

And I don’t mind, I don’t see

What is wrong with you and me

Don’t give me that shit again

‘Cos I already been there/‘cos I’ve had it up to here

I don't mind, I don't see

What is wrong with you and me

Don’t give me that shit again

'Cos I’ve had it up to here/‘cos I’ve already ate it

12. ANDRE

It’s Friday night and I’m off with me mates

We’re gonna see the BAMBIX and listen to their all-time faves

It’s time to party, play to win

Nobody’s gonna stop us

‘cos as soon as we’ll get in: the fun can begin

I wanna win, I wanna win, when I dance and sing,

I’m gonna kick some heads in

I wanna win, I wanna win, with my mates across the pit,

We’re gonna make you sorry and sick of it

Why is the singer stopping, what does she do?

I guess she wants to introduce me to her steel-capped shoe

Not only brainless but where are my teeth

That was a real cool move but now I’m sick of it

No longer in the pit where I wanna win…

Guess I did not catch on

But I’ll come round

Never saw the like of it

No longer in the pit

13. ANNIE

When I dreamed of all the lonely places, we’ve never been that far

We hide it just behind bars

Fought, embraced, didn’t give a toss bout what they thought of us

We lived our lives at the stars

High above the world

And in those hours of darkness you were standing next to me

Guess that made it worth while

Struggle for eternal fate, we always were on time

The thing to pack were our smiles

And I know we did intend to

Scream and make our way right out of here

No locks could hold us here

Cause crying doesn’t help and the light just made us feel

High above the world

14. NODDY

Bang! There goes another cup

I guess I ran out of luck today

‘Cos my parents are fighting anyway

Bang! There goes another plate

I guess my mummy was home too late

And now they’re screaming their lungs out

And I’m crying my eyes out

But there’s Noddy on the wall

He understands it all

He winks at me and tells me everything’s gonna be fine

There’s Noddy on the wall

And he understands it all

He winks at me and tells me everything’s gonna be fine

Bang! There goes another cup

I guess I ran out of luck today

‘Cos my parents are fighting anyway

Bang! There goes another tool

I didn’t do well enough at school

And now they’re screaming their lungs out

And I’m crying my eyes out

But there’s Noddy on the wall

He understands it all

He winks at me and tells me everything’s gonna be fine

There’s Noddy on the wall

And he understands it all

He winks at me and tells me everything’s gonna be fine

There I am off to Toyland

My red suitcase in my hand

The bus stops and the driver smiles at me

Says his bus goes somewhere else

“But hey, little girl, what will your parents say?

They’ll miss you when you're gone”

He goes off to a phonebox

And 5 minutes later

My parents are speeding up the highway

Bang! I hear the car-window burst

‘Cos they're fighting on who’ll get out first

And then they order me to get in

Whaps! My dad slaps me in the face

Says I’m a disgrace for the human race

And now they’re screaming their lungs out

And I’m crying my eyes out

There’s Noddy on the wall

And he understands it all

But he hits me hard and says:

“Don't you ever leave me again,

My dear friend”

15. LOCH NESS

I get there and I wonder who you might have been

I cry over the shoulder of an unspoiled man

But since you’ve been gone

I rolled my back over words

And you just carry on spreading diseased like dirt

And I can’t forget and you move onward 

I sit here and I wonder who you might been

I cry over the shoulder of a really absent man

But since you’ve been gone

I really couldn’t’t care less

And you just carry on proving your life is a mess

And I can’t forget and you move onward 

By being there, on no-man’s street

Has given me a soul to feed

Where you once were, is now she 

My soulmate

MAIS UM DIA

daqui a exatos dez dias eu vou estar viajando para Carajás a trabalho! contagem regressiva para ir embora e voltar uma vez por mês! acabei de levar uma péia segura do Edjan no [jogo de Playstation 2] King Of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 aqui na casa dele (e é aqui na casa dele que estou digitando essa postagem). eu tinha que ir lá na casa da minha tia pegar umas coisas pra mamãe, mas eu fiquei, o Ed me desafiou pra jogar e aí já viram né?!? a vida tem dessas coisas! hoje, pra variar, choveu pra caralho e inundou a porra da cozinha e, como de costume, sobrou pra mim enxugar!

é isso isso!

se cuidem!

FINALMENTE EU TERMINEI

boa tarde chuvosa!

eu finalmente terminei .................. esse poema! deu o maior trabalho, mas hoje de madrugada consegui terminá-lo!
aí está!
espero que a menina pra quem o fiz goste dele! e vocês também

[poema ainda sem título]
Já faz um tempo que eu não bebo;
Já faz um tempo que eu não fumo;
Já faz um tempo que eu estou 100% limpo
(e somente hoje vim perceber a diferença);
Já faz um tempo que não consigo completar
nada do que comecei a escrever
com exceção óbvia da letra sobre você e seus robôs gigantes.
Eu sei que não existe outra forma de dizer
Que, de um bom tempo pra cá, meus pensamentos
estão totalmente direcionados pra você
[mesmo só tendo te visto algumas vezes
e termos sido apresentados por um conhecido nosso em comum].
Faz um tempo que não consigo deixar de pensar
se vou conseguir escrever algo realmente bom
somente se voltar a beber.
Isso Me Apavora!
Tristeza e Poesia e Bebida sempre combinaram:
comigo não foi diferente -
por que será agora?
Me Libertar Dos Males!
E eu me sinto extremamente bem quando eu penso em você!
É a primeira vez em anos
que gosto de alguém,
mas estou travado para escrever:
Isso Me Deixa Triste!
Tornar-me-ei feliz e ditoso se puder te ver
[se também puder te abraçar]
[e também ter as suas mãos nas minhas].
E será que sua pele é macia e agradável de se tocar?
E será que seus olhos são castanho-escuros em chamas, e, conseqüentemente, belos de se ver e lindos de se admirar?
E será que seus lábios são doces [com gosto de qual doce?] e delicados e convidativos a beijar?
E agora, onde quer que esteja, meu coração bate por você!
E é pensando em seus olhos que eu fecho os meus!
Por favor, permita que eu naufrague, me afogue e me salve do mundo ao nosso redor
em seus Braços e em seus Abraços e em seus Sorrisos
e em seus Beijos e em seus Carinhos e em seu Afeto
ao invés de naufragar, me afogar e me salvar
em quilolitros de bebidas alcoólicas destiladas!
Mas, ah! como seria bom!, se pudéssemos estar juntos agora neste instante
abraçados em um sofá enquanto lá fora chove torrencialmente.
Mas, ah! como seria bom!, se pudéssemos estar juntos agora
tomando banho nesta chuva que cai, nos beijando e namorando.
Mas, ah! como seria bom!, e você estivesse aqui e nos abraçarmos e nos aquecermos.
E agora são praticamente seis horas da manhã
e acabou de chover e está frio
e o raiar do dia está aí e a manhã será nublada.
E seria verdadeiramente bom se você estivesse aqui...
Esou sozinho ouvindo algumas canções que marcaram meu passado
e lembrando de você
que eu quero e que sejas parte essencial de meu futuro.
Está amanhecendo e como devo proceder para que sejas o meu sol?
O que fazer para que seus sorrisos e olhares e abraços e beijos sejam meus?
É verdade que minhas dúvidas e incertezas quanto a tudo isso são mais do que visíveis e beiram o mais ridículo,
mas minha esperança de conseguir alguma coisa
não esmorece mais facilmente quanto antigamente.
E será que se chover mais tarde e eu pensar em você vai parar de chover e fazer sol?
pensar nisso e em você me faz tão bem!
Permita, ao menos, que, em pensamentos:
nossas mãos se tornem uma e nossos lábios se tornem apenas um par
e possamos anoitecer e madrugar e amanhecer juntos.
Já faz um tempo que eu não bebo,
Já faz um tempo que eu não fumo,
E perdi a noção de quanto tempo eu alimento a esperança de te re-encontrar
e então finalmente poder sentir a sua pele, e ver o teu sorriso e ouvir as tuas palavras
e sentir o sabor e a doçura de teus beijos.
Existe possibilidade concreta:
de podermos estar realmente juntos?
Existem esperanças verdadeiras:
de podermos realmente e finalmente
ficar juntos?

- todas as letras de Willia van Houdt, exceto onde indicado

CONQUER IT ALL
(letra de Maniet Voets)
Completely nuts
she is crazy and she looks at me
as if she never saw me before
no place for me in her dewy asteroid
it's the season of the witch
she lies down under trees
a sudden death or still living on?
she lives around here
but I never saw that face before

she's stripped of pride
she won't walk she can only roll
she is been like that for five weeks
every day I laugh my head off
so I won't have to cry

she talks to rainbows
in her own strange ways
there's no life beside her
she's an orange nowadays

always first in line
in the modern world
where good taste is bad
and bad taste becomes good

I want to conquer it all

the danger trying to touch her
better not say a word
she has a mouth like a machine gun

she's not bathing anymore
letting go of all her dirt

WESTBORO WANKERS
'Do you know God hates fags
And why we aways hang our flag
Completely upside down
We are Christians and are concerned
About state protection of the perverse
Their filth really astounds us
The assault on our traditions
Of family, God and law
Makes us sick to the bone
Just like Sodom and Gomorrah
Got the wrath of God
Fags won't ever be condoned'

'You better turn!
Turn from evil ways, turn!

He will call His sheep
He won't call the children of the devil
He will call His sheep
He will call us because we're

The Westboro Baptist Church
We preach things that really hurt
Like thank God, thank you for AIDS
And that for all fags hell awaits'

Well fuck you Westfuck and fuck your church
An infiltration of gays will lure
Around the corner and in your ranks
Better start shitting your pants
Because they won't wear masks

'Sodom was destroyed by God
And at the recurring days of Lot
He would return
Well those days have finally come now
And God's only son
Will make sure that you burn
Modern day Pharisees

You look away
From all that is the truth
Get that grin of your face'

Let me ponder
About you weirdos
Your urge to go back to times that are long gone
Today there's pride
And you're just so scared
You bunch of bigots
How pretty can you get

BRAND NEW RELIGION
Question 1: are you he devout son that knows it all
Question 2: or does someone else always think for you
when questions are rased about the basics of the system's hate
Question 3: I ask because it's not my philosophy
to walk around without ears, without eyes, without thinking
don't want to chant or say praise to a god that allows killing

I need a brand new religion
your god can't fool me
we've got nothing in common
I question things, you see

you're taught to fight
claim you're always right
your truistic thoughts
it's just like
swimming on sand and walking on water
you try to keep up but they're pulling you under

Question 5: how is your beloved wife, still trapped in yourthoughts?
Question 6: re-read your books, it just might do the trick
ooohhh tunnel vision
ooohhh no remission

I need a brand new religion
your god can't fool me
we've got nothing in common
I question things, you see

ideas pollute what's holy and good
all good natured men become malicious
and I try to keep my head above water
but it's oh so hard when they're pulling me under

oh tunnel vision wrong decision
ain't it true that you only feed those whose hands are tied?
ain't it true that you also jail those whose ideas are too wild?
oh tunnel vision wrong decision
oh tunnel vision life privation

I need a brand new religion
your god can't fool me
we've got nothing in common
I question things, you see

SECLUSION
Sit back, relax and enjoy your chair
relax and sit back, be happy that you're somewhere
where the truth doesn't hurt
where you can say any word you like
except for Scoren

whatever your thrill
whatever which pill
you've never been in the clouds

whatever which door
no matter what you're looking for
you're the only one with the key

so why are you screaming
when there's noone to hear you shout
so why are you sneering
when there's nothing to sneer about

it's a tough world
with swines and pearls
you say you're sorry for yourself

it's your way out
but you break bounds
you`ll end up in the wrong box

so why are you screaming
when there's noone to hear you shout
you're not that endearing
when you're dead beat and all gaunt

you're on a trip but your suitcase is empty
you're on a trip but you didn't bring a map
you lost track and the guide you had is gone
you lost track and your compass shows no compassion

SUMMERSONG
When will you come to your senses?
Are you excluded from rules?
You keep on pointing your finger
Pointing your finger at those other fools
Where I believed in so long You said “good bye”
Giving myself another reason to stay
Giving me another dark blue eye
‘Cause I can see the light that shines on you and me
Won’t you give me one more chance?
I can see the light that shines on you and me
Won’t you give me one more chance?
The beer in the refrigerator
Has no chance to get cold
No matter how full I stuff it
Your eyes have the shape of the bottles you hold
And I don’t dare to ask
“Can you put it down?”
Giving myself another reason to kill
Giving me another dark blue eye
It gets so hot I open the window
Watch my hands put the kettle on
Something’s boiling inside of me
And it’s been there far too long
It gets so hot I close all the windows
Put on the oven
Let the gas come out
Get my coat and walk away
You’re asleep, you won't make a sound
I can see the light that shines on you and me
Won’t you give me one more chance?
I can see the light that shines on you and me
Won’t you give me one more chance?
I can see the light that shines on you and me
I just took my only chance
I can see the light that shines on you and me
I just took my only chance

MONOZYGOTIC
You're spirit's high
my spirit's low
where's the trust
we once showed
we felt obliged to hang on
to eachother for too long

we shared our bed shared our room
now we sing out of tune
the Muscle Sound all around
on the last account

what's the matter with you
all this crap you're telling me
your 10ct. Psychology

what do you mean I hurt you
why can't you forget the past
your obsession is a blast

I family-tied you up
when you forced me to drink from that poisened cup
the twins we were have died
now you're an only child

you're double-hearted
bouble-dyed
you were never there
when I cried
because to you
I was weak
always on a losing streak

we shared our bed shared our youth
now we're men wearing boots
to kick eachother, make sure it stings
like Kain and Abel, though we were twins

TAKE HEART
You didn't die alone
You took a part of me
The end af all our plans
(The) end of what we'd be

It boiled down deep inside
until it burned you up
the ignition within reach
your flame just dropped

But you did not wake up and I'm the one
Who'll walk on trough the backyard of the times
When you are my friend

I just don't know what's wrong or right
Quess I'm just a bit uptight
And this feeling isn't right
But I'm lonely tonight

You're never out of reach
though you are far away
the sun's coming up again
And on that day
You'll smile at me and say
That you'll be back again
Somewere in my dreams
The biggest ray

That'll shine on me and lift me up
To wake up in the backyard of the times
When you are my friend

HURRICANE HERO
One summermorning he awoke and he decided it was time he made up his mind
So he went up to the roof in search for something that would prove
he'd always been blind
The idea was to arouse the pigeons in the pigeon-house
so when he opened the door
He gently asked them 'would you all helo me to find
exactly what I'm looking for"

So he finally broke the strings
that always kept him down an attempt to regain
what he once lost
no need to count the cost
the hero of the twentieth century

A storm raged across the land, the wind was fighting with the sand a hurricane named Hero
The people looked up to the sy, they saw the shape of a huge kite
It must be the hour Zero
A million pigeons in a V, a man so tiny you couldn't see him
dangling on the strings
tied to each separate little bird, shouting out against the world;"Well shit on you, motherfuckers"

So he finally broke the chain
that had always kept his down
bit by bit
No shit

MY BOOK
It's an unfinished book
I wrote it only in my mind
you know how long it took
to put it down?
If you read between the lines
you see the future and past entwine
though you'll never see the sky fall

But I don't mind a little peace of mind
No pictures of burnt children running round
In my book of life
people are not jeopardized
and no pictures of burnt children

Today's latest craze
is to show violence in every phase
You see it in the movies or on TV
The critics say it's cool
it's aesthetical, wild and proves
that all human beings are born beasts

But I don't mind a little peace of mind
No pictures of bursnt children running round
In my book of life
women won't get womanized
and no pictures of burnt children

Never bend, speak out
Words like lava flowing out
Don't hush, speak out
Words like lava flowing out
Just don't touch, youmight get burned

BALACLAVA BOY
Still young and small, couldn't talk at all
he wondered why they had a ball
out there in the field

It was his wish to eat his dish
without the flavours of animal bliss
and get this party going

what he didn't know
they put up a show
those strangers in the night
they had blinded his eyes
and fed him with lies
butchers in daylight

The animals stood there in a line
so very keen to get inside
to enter the ark of Noah

The dire consequences were
the pungent scent of burning fur
in a wolrd of red and white

What he didn't know
they put up a show
those men in their disguise
he was no longer deaf
a member of the ALF
balaclava boy

He was wondering
He was saying things
everyone heard about
everyone laughed about
soon the world would be too small
for the abuse he'd free them all
it is also their world they're not from this world

He had to travel far
with in his bag, his golden balaclava
so many pests tried to stop him on the way
But he made up his mind
fight deliberate ignorance,feed people's minds
stood proudly on the barricades
for animal rights
not animal wrongs

THE LIE OF THE LAND
(letra de Maniet Voets)
Did you see the boy, the frozen sky?
Skating on the ice, a sudden cry?
He fell down, a hole in the ice
He disappeared, there was trouble in paradise

So you were there, couldn't lend him a hand!
Too far away, the lie of the land
Shocked by struggle, you justify
A dozen times you tell that fools lullaby

If you head gets too big
you'll end up in a parade
so you better go home
When curiosity killed the mouse
and all the eyes fall down
the party's reached its end

Did you hear the bang, just down town?
A car-accident, upside down?
As fast as you can, won't miss the mess
How many dead, enought to impress

So you were there, didn't step aside
when help arrived, you parasite
Left for dead now, you smell the glory
Never seen that much blood, for your fishermanstory?

Why do only stories that are sad?
keep the attention high, and others are denied
A missed link in life
A dark basement in our mind
Or are we partly blind

Did you see the fire burn in your neighbourhood?
Did you see the fire burn You'd better turn?

So you were there, you rattlesnake

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE
I'll be on this bus tomorrow
I'll be on this bus today
Don't know where or in which direction
only the driver knows his way

I can't believe why I'm troubling my senses;
there's no way out

I'm on seat number 60 now
maybe one day I'll sit in front
since one man's meat's another man's poison
Noblesse oblige so you guess what comes

Turn the other cheek, when they hurt you deep
and when a friend of yours gets busted
you look away
they can tie your hands and get in your pants
claim they'll make you bleed tomorrow
you should realise you live today

And i cry myself to sleep now
knowing that you're not here
and i force myself to sleep now
cos never in my worst nightmare did i show any fear

because I turned my other cheek when they hurt me deep
but I'm driving my own bus now
going my own way
When clubs are trumps
and money buys guns
never put off till tomorrow
all that you can do today

bem!
é isso aí!
cuidem bem de vocês mesmo e até a próxima!

EXPLAIN IT
(letra e música de Willia van Houdt)
The smell is all around me
of the things I cannot buy
shiny and attractive
makes you wonder why
life is like a lottery
it already starts at birth
when you're not the chosen one
you'll end up in the dirt

Crying is forbidden
for those who are in need
can't give in to sickness,
for there are mouths to feed
it feels like amputation
to lose your goal in life
I want to run away and hide
and never come back again

The pink and yellow ladies
are holding their stomaches in
they can't stand seeing me
eating from a bin
they think I'm a shithead
begging for some food
well, he surely died on us
that present day Robin Hood

I've never seen the sea
I've never climbed a mountain
can someone please explain it
I've never found no God
I've never seen an angel
can someone please explain it

Already in the morning I'm defeated by the day.

CRY-O-SURGERY
(letra e música de Willia van Houdt)
I've got two bodies and a head, and a memory
I'm gonna fix them in a way that suits me
all I need, a freezer and a knife
and I'll revive the living dead
I once had a friend
who had a face like a rat
so I gave him a new head
now he's such a lovely lad

Cry-o-surgery is fun
and I don't think I'm the only one
who likes to put things where they belong?
Cry-o-surgery is fun
and I don't think i'm the only one?
who likes to put things in their place?
one day I will have changed the entire human race

Still, all I see angry faces looking down at me
because I can't help them all
I have to work so hard
creating Naomis out of old tarts
and make the short ones tall
Julie was so insecure
she got really depressed
so I gave her a new brain
she now thinks she's the best
but then her brains were lit
she got a bit too optimistc
she thought that she could fly
made others wonder why

Cry-o-surgery is fun

Sometimes I feel as if i'm God
or at least his maid
when I look at people I create
I play to win
by making Einsteins of the very dim
my job is so interesting

Only in the summertime
I can't be a hero
'cause I can only operate
at absolute zero.

X-RAY THE CANDY
(letra de Maniet Voets, música de Maniet Voets e Willia van Houdt)
Happy birthday to us all
we just broke another wall
in that picture, did we see
what we actually should be?
We tell stories of long gone
step by step, about everyone
who we love and who we hate

All we want is sympathy and apathy
just for start
what language does the wind speak
what country brings the rai
even the weather has its depressions

"Well, it's psychic, it's all inside
scream and shout, never hide
take slow but do it fast
the sooner you'll forget the past"

Is it really necessary to x-ray the candy?

"Just lie down and open up
I'll try to check you up
just relax and please go on
I'll tell you what went wrong
you've got one nose and two ears
a tongue that tells about your fears"
I'm surprised, it's clear to see that this is me

And all I want is happiness and steadiness
from now on
what colour does the lighting have
when will the storm begin
even the weather has its depressions

"Time is up, 'till next week
then there's more time for you to speak
take your pills, it's good for you
it leads you to another view"

Is it really necessary to x-ray the candy?

HELLO TO NOHTING
(letra de Maniet Voets, música de Willia van Houdt)
Together with you the sun was there
I thought that I'd just met my best friend
so much in love, I swallowed your alibis
didn't we see the italian movies between those sweet eyes

After the sun the blizzard came
often unable to pronounce my name
staring into the inane
fraking out but not on me
I got the could turkey for free

Tuesday 5 a.m. back from a mind excursion
and as always I got the extended version
the harder you yelled, the more right you thought you were
when i closed my ears, you were all in a stir

After the blizzard nothing came
I'm not interested in what you became
no I don't care
I'm working on a new debut
and try to scratch you fo my shoe

You're like a red flag to a bull
and engine without fuel
every world just crap to fill the gap
like a red flag to a bull
it's really nothing new
empty head without a vision
I don't consider it my mission
to help you along

Together with you the sun went down
not for long, because the best friends don't frown
so much in love, I didn't realize
that even a green light can be a red one in disguise

After nothing a new sun came
a clear sky out of the grey
will you please forget my name
and move out of my way.

WHEN SUMMER FALLS ASLEEP
(letra de Maniet Voets, música de Willia van Houdt)
I see you face up in the air
brings back times when you were there
you've never been away that long

I recall that hidden smile
I didn't know why I cried
'cause I would see you back at home
so why was I all alone?

All seasons weep
when summer falls asleep

On the table I put the plates
"Hey, why are you too late?
You know dinner's served at five"

I see the blue lights swing
and sirenes that sing
but I can't sing along
false notes prolong

Your eyes were closed
you mind far away resting for another shiny day
humor, spontanity, you impressed me
things you composed;
laughing matters which you loved the most
now a sign calls it all closed
and now I see just how much you meant to me

Oh, dear sunshine, he could be a butterfly
at least you should have let him try
Dear sunshine, will the good things stay?
if you believe in them every day.

BITCHRAFT
(letra e música de Willia van Houdt)
You give me a lifetime so I can be saved
I’d rather have some space to breathe
You hand me a whistle to draw attention
I’d rather have some ointment for my scars

They’ll let me burn on the stake
Pay for the mistakes I made
But I ride a bike, and not a broom
I don’t cry at the moon
Still I’ll be damned

They repeat the pattern again and again
Raise your voice and you’re forgotten
Will the world grow ripe enough
To outsmart all that is rotten

I don’t ridicule what’s Holy and good
I don’t put frogs in my soups
I want to be my own judge
And if that’s not enough
Then I’ll be damned

Don’t want to feel as if I’m down in a burrow
I’ll live my life as if there’s no tomorrow
Don’t pull the leash which you tied around my neck
I’ll still be the captain even if I clean the deck

Give me a lecture so I can learn
Give me a book to read
But don’t hand me a knife to draw attention
To what can’t be said with words

My fellow-sinners are all around
They won’t destroy your holy ground
I don’t like to eat ripped-out hearts
And I don’t have warts
Still I’ll be damned

INVISIBLE
(letra e música de Willia van Houdt)
Have you ever seen blue eyes fading to black
And a girl lying on the ground
Wounded by the insults
Scared for all the lies
Trying to hold on to the last straw?

The freedom of life
Is coming up to haunt you
The freedom of life
Is coming up so soon
Don’t you know
They’re dying like flies
The freedom of life
Is coming up so soon

They never listened to anything you said
Treated you like a fly on the wall
The code, more important
Than your cries, little girl
No attention paid to your hurts

Don’t you know on a false day
Her eyes restrained from the tension you put upon her
There’s no way, or so they say
They’re just lies, like the color of your eyes

Like a nightmare your quest will follow you
Although you try to break these thick white walls
What did you do, to feel so black and blue
Will they ever recognize you

THE GIRL WHO HAD THE BLUES
(letra e música de Willia van Houdt)
Gone to a far-off shore
Never heard about no more
A skeleton at the feast
Now the beauty then the beast
Good, better, best
Last station of a long quest
No more hopes and dreams
You just took French leave

Did you ever hear the news
About the girl who had the blues

How can pain feel so low
A heavy brick, it won’t go
You just closed the door
It never rains it only pours
You would go far indeed you did
You just addled my wits
Been in heaven and hell
A fart with a nasty smell

No more anger, no more pain
You left me standing in the rain
And I can’t see your point of view
No more self-effacing I will say
That every dog has his day
I no longer care what Mrs Grundy says

MRS B.
(letra e música de Willia van Houdt)
I’ve been slaving all day long
Making mock of me as if nothing’s wrong
It’s a curse, I’m a castaway
I’ve given all, nothing more to say

So tired, still no end
She placed her hand on her forehead
Wondered why, what’s it for
It’s a dead end
Mrs. B walks towards the door
You haven’t eaten anything, don’t you want some more?
Does she talk to herself or me
Contemporary slavery

She seems shrunken
And her face showed signs of her old age
Breakable bones
All alone without her family
They are waiting for the death of Mrs. B

Mrs. B keeps her son to herself
At least she tries to
When he married, it cause quite a stir
She hit him and her too

She wonders why no one calls
Since they got her number and all
It’ll be a relief to slowly drift away
No more waiting for the lonely days

Mrs. B says she’s all alone
Wondering if she’s safe in her home
Doesn’t care to come out because the kids
Might take her purse or blow her to bits

WHERE DID I GO
(letra de Maniet Voets, música de Willia van Houdt)
Hey, Mr Moon, tell me where did I
End up last night
Can’t remember anything
There’s nothing on my mind
I used to need a palace to keep my memories
Anywhere I pleased
Now I can’t see anything
And nothing clings to my ears

All my life, I’ve been running
All my life running from these days
And I can’t tell you why

No face that I recognize
Has it been so long, it goes on and on
Am I sick or dying
Or am I doing fine
Why can’t I look at the road
It makes no sound at all, crumbles and it falls
Did I sleep through summer and is it already fall

I take a look at the mirror
To the world of the past
I see my favorite show
And this crowd is the last

THE GOLDEN GIRL
(letra e música de Willia van Houdt)
Born on a Sunday, she was the golden girl
Twinkling eyes, shiny curls
Much too valuable, so they kept her in a cage
Their own rage reflected on her

Tell her no secrets, tell her lies
Hide the world and close her eyes
Don’t be sorry, be amused
Keep her world turning
Will she ever know the truth
About her distorted youth
Will she ever realize
That her world is burning

On a Sunday, she was the golden girl
Twinkling eyes, shiny curls
Much too troublesome, so they kept her in a cage
It’s the age, it’s over soon

It’s driving her insane
This line between love and hate
And I tried to make them see
That it was them, not me

Born on a Sunday, she was the golden girl
Pale blue eyes, dirty curls
So much weaker now, she couldn’t give no more
Didn’t need to lock the door anymore

é isso aí!
cuidem bem de vocês mesmos e até a próxima!

TOMARA QUE AMANHÃ CHEGHE LOGO!

Amanhã fará UM MÊS que não estou bebendo e não estou fumando! E eu acho isso ótimo! Não somente para mim, mas para todas as pessoas que gostam de mim de verdade verdadeiramente!

Bom, aqui estão uns textos que escrevi, mas esqueci de postar [é isso que dá ter merda na caixa cranina no lugar de um cerébro]. Espero que vocês curtam!

[poema ainda sem título]
Quando cheguei lá, pedi pra chamar e ela não veio
E disse:
“Se veio pra trazer notícias ruins, como você sempre faz
Vá se embora daqui
Porque já me bastam meus probelmas
para me deixar bem infeliz”
E entrou e nõ olhos para trás
Não me deixou falar
E começou a chover e eu não consegui
não chorar.
Eu só queria lhe dizer que o rapaz que tanto ama
Enfim acordou do coma e vai se recuperar!
Ele mndou me chamar:
só pra me pedir pessoalnmente
para avisar a sua amada
de que vai melhorar
e quando sua recuperação terminar
ele e ela poderão finalmente
se casar!
Mas ela não quis ouvir
devido minha má-fama
de somente aparecer
trazendo notícias de triste e lamentavel fim.
E quem cantará minha historia:
quem levará a notícia
do meu fim
:: texto escrito em abril de 2007 ::


[poema ainda sem título]
Acho que nunca vou me acostumar
Com o vento se quebrando diretamente
em meu rosto.
Acho que nunca vou me acostumar
A usar sapatos
e camisas e sapatos sociais.
Pés presos em sapatos
sem poder respirar:
é tão difícil mudar
transformar
mudar
adaptar
reformular e re-estruturar
conceitos, valores e princípios.
Eu gostaria de poder permitir
minha barba e meus cabelos crescerem livremente
como a grama que estou vendo agora.
Constante mudança e estagnada transformação
fincadas em pilares tão velhos quanto o mundo.
Liberdade e Autonomia:
para os corações que não conseguem deixar de lembrar!
Sabedoria Plena e Absoluta:
a todos que se aprisionaram em grilhões que os prenderam
a Glórias Passadas!

[poema ainda sem título]
Moramos no mesmo país:
A um país de distância um do outro.
Moramos tão distantes um do outro
Mas tão próximos pelo programas de computador
que nos deixam frente-à-frente
simultaneamente.
Caminhos opostos que se encontraram sem querer
e permanecem cruzados
sem reclamações.
Trocamos cumprimentos já que não podemos trocar
beijos e abraços
como fazem amigos que se vêem constantemente.
Diferença de idade, credos, crenças, ideais
Semelhança de sentimentos, incertezas e dúvidas.
Eu estou completamente sóbrio
mas eu gostaria de estar domindo
completamente bêbado
... e mais tarde acordar de ressaca!
São três e dez da manhã
e bem que poderias estar aqui
para conversarmos até amanhecer!
E eu me pergunto se és tão legal face-à-face
quanto és via MSN.
São três e vinte da manhã
e bem que poderias estar juntos agora
para contar as estrelas e as constelações
- que agora estão visíveis no céu -
e contar o que queremos de verdade para nossas vidas

O ATAQUE DOS ÍNDIOS-MORTOS-VIVOS
Índios mortos voltam a viver
Para reclamar sua terra.
Não adianta rezar porque Deus não vai te ajudar!
Índios que vivem novamente vieram te matar!

Os índios mortos-vivos (ôôôô)
Eles estão aqui (ôôôô)
Os índios mortos-vivos (ôôôô)
Eles estão aqui (ôôôô)
Para vos destruir!

Os pajés cansaram de ver seus povos serem massacrados
E fizeram um grande ritual para trazerem os índios ressucitados!
Não adianta se esconder - eles vão te achar!
Não adianta lutar - eles vão te destroçar!

Os índios mortos-vivos (ôôôô)
Eles estão aqui (ôôôô)
Os índios mortos-vivos (ôôôô)
Eles estão aqui (ôôôô)
Para vos destruir!

Todos eles já traçaram uma meta:
Tomar de volta toda a América!
A reconquista vai começar pelo Brasil:
Tomar de volta florestas, matas e rios!
Eles são incansáveis - eles são mais fortes!
Não vai ter funeral - somente chachinas e morte!

Os índios mortos-vivos (ôôôô)
Eles estão aqui (ôôôô)
Os índios mortos-vivos (ôôôô)
Eles estão aqui (ôôôô)
Para vos destruir!
