De teksten van de nummers op 'Walking Mind' (2007)
1 Hey
music and lyrics by Anderson
arranged, produced, performed by
Anderson/François/Korten
lead vocals by Anderson
All lies are justified and silently closing in
You will be stepping on the morning light
All the truth will be said in a book one day
And you will be coming home on time
Coming home on time
All lies are fooling me and light up when I'm losing you
You will be looking at each single day
You will be coming home after the rain has gone
You will be checking out what has been done
Coming home on time
Hey, hey, hey, hey
It's the light of morning and you never come out of bed
It's the light of morning, you better sleep instead
Hey, hey, hey, hey
You better come out of bed
Hey, hey, hey, hey
2 Beam Me Up
music by Verploegen
lyrics by Korten/Verploegen
arranged, produced, performed by Frits
vocals by Verploegen
Till the year 2010 my soul will sure be lonely
My life is skipping like the Alps, time’s a tool but not mine only
I’m afraid my loss is logic, all is angle, all is edge
Everything is disconnected, still I’m waiting for a match
Beam me up, beam me up, beam me up
By the year 2010 my soul will sure be home
It’s the comfort of the future, it’s the space in which I roam
I will leave by perforation, my escape is not a crime
I will travel fast in space. make me travel fast in time
Beam me up, beam me up, beam me up
In the year 2010 starts a ritual of grace
You’ll be living then forever in the landscape of my face
I’ll awake from anaesthesia, I no longer guard my pride
Someone’s giving me a present and I’ll weep, at least I might
Beam me up, beam me up, beam me up
3 Sweetness
music by François
lyrics by François/Frits
arranged, produced, performed by Frits
violin by Theo van der Loo
lead vocals by François
Walking down the streets, back in the old town, no one leaves
The rain is gone but the struggle is still strong
It's grey and my pain, walking in the old mystery jeans
Gonna try and try again
I turn back to my walking mind, string up dust to dryness
Lowered by the lowering rain
Trees come to my mind waking an old dream
Like a boy climbing the highest tree
Bring down the rules and far from the reasons
Like an old mystery in the night it's you I see
Give back your sweetness, give back your sweetness
Give back your sweetness, you think it's all the same
Give back your sweetness, sweetness is your name
4 Eyes Invitations
music by Anderson
lyrics by Korten/Anderson
arranged, produced, performed by Frits
lead vocals by Verploegen
I want to see your face in me and live a life accordingly
This feeling goes right through my veins
Real beauty comes with dots and stains
Cause beauty moulds my memory so I will never disagree
I want to live in harmony, there is no guarantee
Nice nice nice nice eyes invitations
Nice nice nice nice eyes invitations
Your eyes they shine so brightly now, your laugh is killing me somehow
I want to see your face in me and live a life accordingly
This feeling goes right through my veins
Real beauty comes with dots and stains
She's still working on my brain
Still working on my brain
Nice nice nice nice eyes invitations
Nice nice nice nice eyes invitations
5 Gravity
music by Verploegen
lyrics by Korten
arranged, produced, performed by Frits
vocals by Verploegen
Out of control, broken or whole, a number of lies
Falling asleep, fall into the deep, open your eyes
Gravity - heavy or weightless
Gravity - heavy or weightless
Whatever is real it’s the turn of a wheel, open your eyes
A beautiful scene shot in between, open your eyes
Gravity - heavy or weightless
Gravity - heavy or weightless
Gravity - heavy or weightless
Bouncing on an empty graveyard, softly when I sleep
Jumping from an oak table, falling very deep
Open your eyes
6 See Me Walking
music by Anderson/Frits
lyrics by Korten/Anderson
arranged, produced, performed by Frits
lead vocals by Verploegen
For a while I will hold my breath as we talk on a pile of dirt
All along I enjoy the taste of a walk on a pile of waste
Step by step as we climb the dump, word by word I deny your thumb
This place is all messed up and I will join the club
See me walking, see me walking
See me walking and talking to my leg
With a monkey on my back
Step by step as we climb the dump, word by word I deny your thumb
This place is all messed up, please why don't you stop
See me walking, see me walking
See me walking and talking to my leg
With a monkey on my back
See me walking, see me walking
See me walking and talking to my leg
With a monkey on my back
7 Come Along
music and lyrics by Anderson
arranged, produced, performed by Frits
lead vocals by Anderson
Come along and get along, how could you not be strong
Come along and get along, I'll be your friend
Come along and get along, how could you not be strong
Come along and get along, I'll be your friend
Ah ah ah
I thought I could name all the tears that do matter
On the night that you came and the fight that you named
And everything after
I saw through that game and everything that stood in your letter
And the circle that blew and the shatters that grew
I felt like a rafter
Come along and get along, how could you not be strong
Come along and get along, I'll be your friend
Come along and get along, how could you not be strong
Come along and get along, I'll be your friend
Come along and get along, I would not be strong
Come along and get along, I'll be your friend
8 Wide Awake
music by François/Frits
lyrics by Korten
arranged, produced, performed by Frits
lead vocals by Verploegen
You’re a part of me, same identity
Your fingers are like mine, so old
Never thought I’d find you entering my mind
Your shadow is like mine, so cold
So you seem to be, my parttime memory
Your target is to note what I don’t see
Fill me so I get completed
Never ever fool me cause you fool yourself
When you are wide awake
When you are wide awake
To be not awake is a major mistake
Fill me so I get completed
Never ever fool me cause you fool yourself
When you are wide awake
When you are wide awake
To be not awake is a major mistake
9 Always Needed
music by Verploegen
lyrics by Korten
arranged, produced by Frits
performed, vocals by Verploegen
Scare dealer sings his song of cruel habits, awfully strong
Guts and hate motivate, tripping on his way, proving he's wrong
I'm so committed to my devotion, all set in motion, it's my private belief
Powers puppet shouts a boo, don't you know it's creepy what he's trying to do
It's all pretending, walking from the truth
Story bending, but if you walk, walk away from me
That's my nightmare, wipe me out, don't you dare, because
You're always needed like breathing that succeeded
Your presence is the fuel to my life, this is my drive
It's all pretending, walking from the truth
Story bending, but if you walk, walk away from me
That's my nightmare, wipe me out, don't you dare, because
You're always needed like breathing that succeeded
Your presence is the fuel to my life, so this is why
You're always needed like breathing that succeeded
Your presence is the fuel to my life, a delirious drive
10 Maybe (When You And I Meet)
music by Frits
lyrics by Korten
arranged, produced, performed by Frits
lead vocals by François
One day an orange is easy to peel
One day a hedgehog is pleasant to feel
Hell loses all heat
And heaven is at my feet
Making a journey four times a day
My itching is easily going away
Frozen on full speed
No hunger when I don’t eat
Maybe when you and I meet
Maybe when you and I meet
Maybe when you and I meet
11 House Of Blue
music by Frits
lyrics by Korten/François
arranged, produced, performed by Frits
lead vocals by Verploegen
Look at all the clouds following each other rapidly
Everybody goes away but we decided to stay
For many many years we are living on muddy land
We don’t wanna leave this land
I can feel the wind blow, can you feel the wind blow
For miles and miles and miles around
We never seem to leave
Leave the house of blue
Drift away from you
But we never seem to be
In the house of blue
Floating back to you
No place to be
Taking freedom doesn't make us free
No chance to leave but that's okay
Cause we decided to stay
We are in a ruin, we can see the ruin
For miles and miles and miles around
We never seem to leave
Leave the house of blue
Drift away from you
But we never seem to be
In the house of blue
Floating back to you
12 Hold On Tight
music and lyrics by Verploegen
arranged, performed by Verploegen
produced by Frits
vocals by Verploegen
Baby, hold on tight, hold on tight
Take you through the night
I will never leave you
Keep you warm and tight
Through the night
Stars are shining bright
Waiting for the sunlight
And I'll hold you tight
Baby, hold on tight, hold on tight
Take you through the night
I will never leave you
Keep you warm and tight
Through the night
Stars are shining bright
Waiting for the sunlight
I will hold on tight, hold on tight
Hold on tight, hold on tight
