Wegwerpaansteker

'disposable lighter'

You’re amazing* I can’t believe you’re real
I have no clue what to say about you
you’re simply too complicated for my mind
disposable lighter, as long as you still work

and later you will only be a thing
an empty disposable lighter
for ever and ever, for always and always
a thing

you lay there, somewhere near the highway
you lay there, somewhere in the grass
it’s the fact that I knew because otherwise,
disposable lighter, I wouldn’t know what you were

wonderful, disposed of thing
disposable lighter
for ever and ever, for always and always
a thing

you are simply the clearest thing
an empty disposable lighter
for ever and ever, for always and always

wonderful, disposed of thing
disposable lighter
for ever and ever, for always and always
a disposable lighter
an empty disposable lighter
an empty disposable lighter
an empty disposable lighter …
*can also be translated as ‘you’re too insane’

Macho

'macho'

Because I never had a brother, but sisters around me
Who did everything for me, I was alone a lot
I didn’t know how to play soccer, so I didn’t have any real friends
They won all my marbles

Girls were far more fun, they never fought with me
They could chat for hours, and I’d secretly listen along
While all the boys in my neighborhood excelled in mischief
I got my first kiss

Macho (Macho)
Tough guys, Macho (Macho)
Macho (Macho)
If only I were a woman,
I could knit with you

I never got used to hanging out with men
Drunk every occasion, and always joking around
Dirty jokes until morning, stumbling from pub to pub
We, we were together

Macho (Macho)
Tough guys, Macho (Macho)
Macho (Macho)
If only I were a woman,
I could knit with you
