As Soon As We’re In Tune


TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT (Gé Reinders)                        [terug]

I put my hair into style and over in the corner
I hear Jerome murmur: ‘You look dandy.’
So I lean out some more out of that balcony door
while the radio plays soft some forgotten serenade
There’s a tremble in the air, as down there all them folks rush home
For when the sun sets on the city, nobody wants to be alone
And me I got that shaky feeling in my bones again

I feel swift as a summer breeze by the time I’m out on the street again
My high-heel shoes clicking-clacking to that rusty beat again
That old widow from next door she asks when will I come see her again
But I say, no no mama, this time I got to see some better friend
And that lovely lady doing her sidewalk promenade she smiles:
Hurry up boy, don’t be late….because

Mama, tonight’s the night
We’re gonna make it, we’re gonna reach out for them stars tonight
Oh baby we’ll explode just like some super hydroxygen bomb
And our tango ain’t gonna stop till our bloodshot eyes
get blinded by that morning sun

By the time I reach your avenue the sky is red,
white and blue and I’m already flying
I bopped one of those little white pills,
Jerome said they were really worthwhile trying
I know that up in your room your in front of your flattering mirror
You wearing a red ribbon and some rouge, a pair of dancing shoes
It’s got to be a winner
Oh baby red hot warm watery is the kiss that lingers on my lips
As we daze off into them city lights

TROUBLE (Gé Reinders)                        [terug]

When I look around me I see
Trouble, trouble everywhere
People fighting people
Whereas people they should care
Politicians and law magicians
They try to make a living out of that
Where mankind has gone crazy
About the things that are to be had

Well, the ones that work hard
They get nothing
And the ones that don’t do nothing
They get it all
While all they do is sit on their fat ass
And laughing at the people breaking their backs
Well dressed up in tailored suits
Against patched up rags

I said: ‘Lord, when will this be over
Lord, please lead us on.’

I’ve seen good men turn distrustful
I’ve seen good men turning mad
Brothers beating brothers
While their sisters standing laughing at that
The rats and the vultures,
For them it’s paradise
They can pick on the dead bodies
They can eat the funeral rice

I said: ‘Lord, when will this be over
Lord please lead us on.’



FLY FLY ANGEL (Julien van de Loo)

Seeking tomorrow what was yesterday
It's over, yesterday flew away
Like an angel, you unlocked my heart
And I was screamin’ from the start

I said
Fly fly angel
We can fly to a mountain
Be my angel babe
Be the one you are
And I’ll do my best for you

We fell in love like never before
Only my heart could tell me it was more
We patiently discovered our love
And I heart screamin’ from above

Refrein: I heard...

The nights I was lyin’ beside you baby
Really felt your love so I am wishing you to stay
Our secret love, nobody seems to understand
But however my heart will tell me,
that you’re my best friend

WE’RE GONNA MAKE UP (Gé Reinders)                        [terug]

Don’t mind me little mamma if I stay in bed
While you put on your pretty things
Don’t look at me in your mirror like that
It makes me think of all kind of nasty things
Put a little red on your lips
A little blue above your eyes
And a little whiff of perfume
Oh, you look so gorgeous
So come over here
I wanna dust you with my broom

Were gonna make up for all our losin’
Honey tonight we’ll go cruisin’
We’re gonna go downtown
Buy everyone a round
We’re gonna shake that thing till the moon
Till the moon goes down

The way you step beside me little girl
It makes me feel oh so proud
All them dudes they glare at you
They really would like to get down, down, down
When all the traffic-lights
Turn from red to green
Whenever we walk by
I look at you in the store-window
It makes me wanna sigh

We’re gonna make up…


JUST A LITTLE BIT OF NOTHING (Julien van de Loo)                        [terug]

If your madness comes, if your madness runs
If you’re running dry, don’t sympathise
Be softly different and show them your drifting
Care about nothing what tomorrow will bring

Try a little bit of nothing
You will find a little bit of something
If you try a little bit of nothing
You could see through my eyes
Make me burn, make me fly
Do I think real, am I good, am I lyin’?

If your feeling tired in the things you desire
Rest for a while and look in her eyes
She may be unknown, but let your fantasy grow
And if she really cares, she can only be there

Try a little bit of nothing……


SPRINGFEVER (Gé Reinders)                        [terug]

Well it’s the first sunny day of the year
There’s a warm breeze blowing from the south
The windows they’re all open
And the street is filled with joyful sound
Mothers promenade with their daughters
To buy a new dress ‘cause the old one is out of style
The grey men take their places on the bench
They lean on their canes and I hear them say

Don’t them women look pretty
Don’t them girls look fine
They give me springfever in my bones
In return I give them an enticing wink
They give me springfever right down in my soul

Outside the bar people sit on the pavement
drinking ice cool foamed beer
Bring out your cards, bring out your chessboard
There are lots of playmates over here
Thank the lord that those ladies wear skirts
All winter long I’ve been waiting for some legs
Two men digging holes for the telephone company
Get a perfect view and I hear them say

Refrein

When you wake up early in the mornin’
And find one of those blond bandits between the blankets
You say baby: ‘Hey what we’re gonna do today?’
She says: ‘I got to work.
I got to go to the office and type, type, type.’
So you take her downtown
When you’re all alone
Your friends they’re still in bed
They’ve been drinking their head out last night
And the bar, the bar’s still closed
That means you got nowhere to run, you got nowhere to hide
This whole town’s empty and there’s no one in sight
And the temperature’s rising, oh yeah
The temperature’s rising
And everywhere them girls walk by
The girls walk by
Them goddamn pretty girls, girls walk by
The bees are buzzing, the bees are buzzing
Don’t it, don’t it, don’t it, don’t it make you shake?

THE MORE YOU LIVE, THE MORE YOU DIE (Julien van de Loo)                        [terug]

There are moments
I can’t get it out of my mind
All the cruelties
Murders of a laughing child
All the dreams, yeah
Of which you think they are right
All the dreams , yeah
They told me it is a lie

But the more you live
The more you die
Oh babe, it’s all right
And the more you live
The more you die
Oh babe, it’s all right
Oh yeah, all right

I was thinking
My mother said when I was young
You will be yeah
The happiest guy in the world
And I was thinking
That maybe yet I’m not strong
Cause there is something
I can’t explain to my girl

But the more you live
The more you die
And the more you live
The more you die…


ORCHIDEOUS SMILE (Gé Reinders)                        [terug]
With your orchideous smile and your bathing suit
And your Ingrid Bergman style hair
You sparked so much I had to close my eyes
to see you standing there

Your lovers they all came and went
They hid behind curtains just to see you pass
But you had stuck your soul away, so scared of scars

Oh, lala Maria, then you were so scared of scars
Oh, lala Maria, now you’ve healed your scars with far away

You’re probably pleasing some other man
Besides a little pain that don’t bring no grieve
I only wish, woman I know I wish in vain
That I would get the same chance once again

Oh, lala Maria, the time wasn’t right
Oh, lala Maria, them spirits were too tight

The tree outside my window, it has lost all its leaves
So fragile, bare and naked, it feels the same as me
Hey baby, the pretty plants you left behind

They’re all doing fine
If you want them you can get them anytime

Oh, lala Maria, anytime you like
Oh, lala Maria, anytime is fine

With your Colosseum-eyes and your fairy mink
Your updated Jack Kerouac-talk
Woman, you had me on the run
Long before I had the feet to walk



ANOTHER ROOM (Julien van de Loo)                        [terug]

I was sitting in a bar
felt the heat of fighting people round me
I took a beer and closed my eyes
I was longin’ to meet the one who’d love me

But she did not come
However much I longed
I looked around for you

Another room
Another room
Another room

I was driving from bar to bar
To have a chance to be surprised inside me
But I could not get in touch
With a single one of shadows ‘round me

Who could turn the light
Into the tears I’ve cried
I looked around for you

Another room
Another room
Another room



DANCE MY NIGHTS AWAY (Julien van de Loo)                        [terug]

Hundred stories in that bar
Like a sky without a star
Hundred visions in my dreams
Do you hear the way I scream

I wanna dance, dance my nights away
I wanna dance, dance my nights away

Changing thoughts I want to reach (like)
We never walked along that beach (like)
We never kissed that night (like)
I don’t mind, you’re out of sight

I wanna dance, dance my nights away
I wanna dance, dance my nights away

Late at night, see your smile
Lips you showed me for a while
Then I feel the way I felt
And I’m begging you to face
the love we had
We had, we had

I wanna dance, dance my nights away
I wanna dance, dance my nights away

Baby be my friend
Baby hold my hand
Baby find me in the street
Baby listen to the beat

I wanna dance, dance my nights away



THEM FIGHT (Gé Reinders)                        [terug]

Well they say the Lord has built mankind in six days
For the sake of singing this song
Let’s assume that this is so
And on the seventh day he sat down
And he watched his work
What he saw, it is said to be good

But when you ask me I think
The lord, he must have been tired
For if I sit down
I don’t see so much good
And if the Lord would pick up any newspaper
He would see that his work
It don’t function as it should

Them fighting in Indonesia
Them fighting in sweet Rhodesia
Them fighting in South-West Africa
Them fighting in Managua, Nicaragua
Everywhere I look… them fight

I won’t say nothing ‘bout the way that
he made birds and bees
He’s among the best designers
When it comes down to the bushes and the trees
And the way that he made the waters
And the rivers and the seas
It all looks like professional business to me

But when you talk about mankind that’s a different story
The way he created us
Makes me feel downright sorry
Maybe he was nervous
Maybe there was bad lights in his shop
But until he publishes his memoirs we’ll never know
Why he did such a lousy job

Meanwhile…
Them fighting in…
Oh yo, construction failure
Oh yo, bad design

Well suddenly it’s so clear to me
Why he lets this crud go on
He’s moving a bad product
Otherwise this Wallstreet stock won’t last too long
But instead of getting a bad name
Or letting it rot on the shelf
He lets the product remove itself.

That’s why them fighting in…



TAKE 98 (Gé Reinders)                        [terug]

I’ve sang the same song about seventeen times
The producers said they liked they way that it rhymes
But they don't like they way that it sounds
So we'll do it over again, over once more
Over again 'til my throat feels sore

When my timing is right I sing a little bit flat
When I sing in tune it's the words that I forget
And once I sang it right they forgot to push the knob
So we'll do it over again, over once more
Over again 'til my throat feels sore

Number one, number one

Keep that red lamp burning
I know it never burns too long
Keep them tape-wheels turning
'cause we got to record another number one song
Number one... over and over
Number one... over and over

Early in the morning you work till late afternoon
Smokin' too much and you just don't feel right
Feeling kinda wasted after the fortysecond take
You're sweating cold sweat and your voice is about to break
Just can't hear what they said behind the wall
So we'll do it over again, over once more
Over again 'til my throat feels sore

Keep that red lamp burning
I know it never burns too long
Keep them tape-wheels turning
'cause we got to record another number one song
Number one... over and over
Number one... over and over



TOO MUCH OF IT (Julien van de Loo)                        [terug]

They say that I care about too many longin’ eyes
But ain’t it time to analize your frozen allibies
When trouble is takin’ you so far from that light
Why don’t you wake up, dive into that empty night

I may get too much of it
If I ain’t got time to rest or sit
There’s too much isolation here
Too much coldness over here
Too much to bare, please care

They say that there ain’t no way to help that guy
But I know for sure that this is more then a lie
Everybody’s lookin’ for a free-caged life
But I’ve seen too many tears lyin’ in that wooden knife

I may get too much of it
If I ain’t got time to rest or sit
There’s too much isolation here
Too much coldness over here
Too much to bare, please care

The only thing I wanna say is that we are all alone
But when you are not you are not supposed to close your door
This world is build up to live together on your selfish own
Just try to be open-hearted if you don’t want to freeze down

I may get too much of it
If I ain’t got time to rest or sit
There’s too much isolation here
Too much coldness over here
Too much to bare, please care

Too much of it, too much of it
Too much of it, too much of it

Too much of it, too much of it
Too much of it, too much of it
