Doris Day en Andere Stukken
1982 album by Doe Maar. Link to the album.
Sit down, because I want to talk to you
I haven't been as happy as back then in ages
don't be scared I do not want to leave you, no
something's wrong and I can't fix it
we do not lack anything, we have all we need
a child, a home, a car and each other
but do you know what the matter is, honey? aha
I'm looking for something more, I just don't know what
is this all?
is this all?
is this all there is?
is this all?
is this all?
is this all that exists?
yeah
We're just like a piece broken into thirteen parts
in the end we're all in trouble
A life like this is a life everyone leads
I want something more, I want something 'loose'
is this all?
is this all?
is this all there is?
is this all?
is this all?
is this all that exists?
I can't be anyone except myself
even if I always hurt others
And everything I do I do wrong
In so many years I still haven't learned
you seem not to understand
you seem not to see it
you don't seem to understand that I live the way I live with all the good things and the bad things attached to it
you should just forget me
there are enough fish in the sea
I'll only leave you hanging while I go out and be weak with other people in the pub, ooh ooh ooh ooh
oh I'm a dick and always have been
and don't think I will get better!
It'll be best if you just forget me
Because, you, honey, don't know half of it
you seem not to understand
you seem not to see it
you don't seem to understand that I live the way I live with all the good things and the bad things attached to it
you should just forget me
there are enough fish in the sea
I'll only leave you hanging while I go out and be weak with my friends in the pub, ooh ooh ooh ooh
it's a terrible situation
I've completely lost my head
but when I see her on the street
I get shy, suddenly...
it's not like she looks at me
it's the way she walks
and when I look at her walk away
all sorts of things go through my mind
maybe I should talk to her
what if it goes smoothly?
she doesn't even notice me
even though I believed that at one point
and I feel just like a clown
the way I jump for her
I'm wearing a big smile
but I'm breaking inside, aie aie
she doesn't see me
she doesn't hear me
she doesn't like me
she doesn't want me
is this love?
they never told me that
I think it's more of a terrible situation
a terrible situation
a terrible situation
I stopped smoking
and immediately felt broken
I lasted seven weeks
and then I was done
I thought 'just this one'
and then I took two, hey hey hey
I immediately felt better
Now I chain smoke again
So I stopped drinking
and when I saw someone drink
I lost all courage
I thought 'just this one'
and then I drank two, hey hey hey
now I drink Jenever again
and my liver is rotten
Okay, go ahead and give me two
because just one won't get the job done
even if my liver hurts, and my lungs are black from tar
it's okay
(go ahead and give me two)
I stopped snacking
I knew better
I yearned for kroketten
and thick, fat, steaks
I thought 'just one'
and then I ate two, hey hey hey
now I can eat as much as I want
and have to hide my stomache
and my liver is rotten
Okay, go ahead and give me two
because just one won't get the job done
even if my liver hurts, and my lungs are black from tar
it's okay
(go ahead and give me two)
and my liver is rotten
Okay, go ahead and give me two
because just one won't get the job done
even if my liver hurts, and my lungs are black from tar
it's okay
(go ahead and give me two)
this is an instrumental track.
I know a nice cafe
where a nice band plays
and everyone there knows you
don't start complaining, no 'but's
clean your shoes and comb your hair
hey
there's nothing good on TV
only a movie with Doris Day
and what about channel two?
'Ein Wiener Operette' no!
there's a button on the TV
it'll help you out of this mess
press it and come along
let's put the flowers outside
oh, such misery
when Marco's singing
or a documentary
can nobody release us?
from Willem Duys and Van Der Meyden?
and listen to their stuttering
in games and quizzes
a man can be wrong, but
this is far too sad
imbecilic and depressing
hey
there's nothing good on TV
only a movie with Doris Day
and what about channel two?
'Ein Wiener Operette' no!
there's a button on the TV
it'll help you out of this mess
press it and come along
let's put the flowers outside
I walk down the street it's late but I
don't want to go home nobody's home
and I can't be alone (can't be alone)
and don't want to be alone (don't want to be alone)
I sit in the pub until the morning
and just talk along with everybody
because I can't be alone (can't be alone)
and don't want to be alone (don't want to be alone)
far too tired
and I don't know where to go
I'm distraught
can somebody help me?
everything I want
everything I want
everything I want is two soft arms (around me hugging me)
everything I want
everything I want
everything I want is someone who can see me
white neon lights shine on my face
I look at you but you have to go
and I can't be alone (can't be alone)
and don't want to be alone (don't want to be alone)
whoever I call from my prison cell
is just out of time but feels real bad
and I can't be alone (can't be alone)
and don't want to be alone (don't want to be alone)
far too tired
and I don't know where to go
I'm distraught
can somebody help me?
everything I want
everything I want
everything I want is two soft arms (around me hugging me)
everything I want
everything I want
everything I want is someone who can see me
she laughed and she stood in front of me
I waited but she only stared at me
I just stood there and had no clue what she wanted from me
and then she told me that she 'wanted me'
I blushed but I still took her home
and when she got there she took off all her clothes
'come here' she said softly when she saw me standing there
but I was worried because I had never done it before
she whispered 'who would have ever thought?'
I said 'I think you're expecting too much'
I brought her to her bicycle and everything was done
why did I do that? Now she is gone, for always, and I miss her
Ellen
I am so in love with you
oh I am so in love with you
I am so in love with you
They say 'there's barely any time'
and that's why they always hurry and regret
That this day can't be longer for me
But for me this day seems so very long
Being alone scares me
and I think about you all day long
Because whatever others say
there's time enough (time enough)
For you, for me, for everyone
and if you want, every moment will be for you
and everything you'd ask for
just don't leave me alone
they say 'there's not enough time'
they say 'it's getting dark'
they say 'rain, rain, rain on your head' aye, aye aye
But even if the days are cold and dark
I know that if you'd want
you'd paint all the clouds blue
Because whatever others say
there's time enough (time enough)
For you, for me, for everyone
and if you want, every moment will be for you
and everything you'd ask for
just don't leave me alone
d-don't come complaining to me
don't come asking me things
I told you so, I told you so,
I told you that you'd better stick with me
'He was so smart
so neat and so good with his hands'
I told you so, I told you so,
I told you that you'd better stick with me
You'd better stick better stick better stick better stick with me
Because I'm sweeter than sweeter than sweeter than sweeter than he is
Better with better with better with better with me
Because I'm sweeter than sweeter than sweet, way sweeter than sweet
I don't want to judge you
but you love taking his side
I told you so, I told you so
I told you that you'd better stick with me
so don't ask for anything
and don't complain to me
I told you so, I told you so,
I told you that you'd better stick with me
You'd better stick better stick better stick better stick with me
Because I'm sweeter than sweeter than sweeter than sweeter than he is
Better with better with better with better with me
Because I'm sweeter than sweeter than sweet, way sweeter than sweet
They're all watching me
apparently it's my turn
of course I notice way too late
I don't know what we're discussing
no idea what's going on here
my bag is full of the wrong books
diary completely empty
'go on' the teacher says
'are you not paying attention again?'
oh, how I wish she'd be silent
This has to be a misunderstanding! (misunderstanding)
I ended up back in the classroom
Really I am sure I did this exam many many years ago
'go and stand in the hallway'
This is a nightmare
a nightmare
a nightmare gone mad
this is a nightmare
a nightmare
a nightmare gone mad, oh
The headmaster looks at his papers
all that time he leaves me standing
I have to pee real badly
what if I have to dictate as a punishment?
my whole afternoon ruined
'listen up,' I would've said
'What kind of weird mess is this?'
Oh, but then he looks at me
this is too embarassing
'did you pee your pants?'
This has to be a misunderstanding! (misunderstanding)
I ended up back in the classroom
Really I am sure I did this exam many many years ago
'go and stand in the hallway'
This is a nightmare
a nightmare
a nightmare gone mad
this is a nightmare
a nightmare
a nightmare gone mad, oh
I want to leave!
