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

Wat ze Doet

'what she does'

The alarm clock wakes me and
I briefly don't know where I am
then I hear a faraway voice
arbeidsvitaminen*
so it's past ten already
ooh, ooh

I was so drunk again tonight
still she's not mad, she laughs
come here and kiss me, soft
she says "you were acting wild"
and I, I don't feel my hangover anymore

every day should start like this
she makes me warm inside
and oh what she does
oh she does well
oh everything she does

I'll take another painkiller
and smell her making coffee
then she crawls back into bed
I softly mumble that I'm sorry
and she says she doesn't blame me

the fact that you can get this for free
it should always be like this
and oh what she does
oh she does well
oh everything she does

*literal translation: work vitamins. long-running dutch
radio program that plays requested songs and also fund-raises
