Watching every day go by,
living in a foolish game,
Just the way I feel today
living my life without you.
 
Never hear a single word,
living in a lullaby,
praying every tear I cry,
living my life without you.
 
And everywhere you go I fly
(I love you with a special feeling).
And, darling, till the day I die
(baby never stop believing).
 
I’ll be reaching out, ooh.
I’ll be reaching out, ah, ah….
Reaching out
(there’s a woman going through me).
I’ll be reaching out
( got a chance to hold you to me ).
Ah..
Everything is lonely and I need you
living my life forever,
forever.
 
Watching every day go by,
living on the one I love,
what I got is not enough
living my life without you.
 
And I believe in yesterday
(yesterday was once tomorrow).
With love, with love wide open every way
(baby you’re the light I follow).
 
I’ll be reaching out, ooh.
I’ll be reaching out, ah.
Reaching out
(there’s a woman going through me).
I’ll be reaching out
(got a chance to hold you to me)
Everything is lonely and I need you
Living my life forever.
 
I’ll be reaching out.
I’ll be reaching out.
 
Reaching out.
I’ll be reaching out.
Living my life forever.
 
Reaching out.
I’ll be reaching out…

I’m packing my bags and going home.
I been here too long.
So happy, I’ll get there on my own.
Been here for reasons right or wrong.
So I’m packing my bag and I’m getting home.
 
So I’ll walk by the railroad anytime, anytime.
Walk by the railroad anytime.
Tell my brother and my sister that everything’s gone wrong.
But I’m walking by that railroad till I’m home.
 
There’s been lies told in my story.
But ain’t juiced none of that glory.
But still, I served my time.
And there’s no use in crying
‘cause I’m walking by that railroad till I’m home.
 
So I’ll walk by the railroad anytime, anytime.
Walk by the railroad anytime.
Tell my woman that I missed her.
That I can’t wait to kiss her
So I’m walking by that railroad till I’m home.
 
Yes I’ll walk by the railroad anytime, anytime.
Walk by the railroad anytime.
Tell my woman that I missed her.
And I can’t wait to kiss her
‘cause I’m walking by that railroad till I’m home.
Yes I’m walking by that railroad till I’m home.

Sunday morning, it’s a quarter to five,
you keep on talking like your love is a prize.
Bird in flight, spreading her wings,
sitting pretty in a city of sin.

I don’t mind, adventure with a stranger.
Trouble deep at the scene of the crime.
Testify that I’m not superstitious.
It’s tough enough to find out why you.

Radiate,
you bait your love with money.
Celebrate
a body to behold.
Generate
a state of wild emotion.
Don’t waste your money,
my love is not for sale.

Funny faces in the shadows of night.
Pain and pleasure is your only disguise.
Radiate,
your fate’s on the fire.
Stay awake,
love is a lie.

In the street, life is your creation.
Trouble deep if you wake up on your own.
I’m a slave to sweet investigation.
It’s tough enough to find out why you.

Radiate,
you bait your love with money.
Celebrate
a body to behold.
Generate
a state of wild emotion.
Don’t waste your money,
my love is not for sale.
 
Radiate,

Peter Litjens


Daar sta je dan aan de rand van de nacht,
Je leven is een zooi, niemand bergrijpt je.
Je zou willen dat je schreeuwen kon.
Maar niemand die luistert, niemand die luistert !
En je ziet wat voor je ligt.
Van alle kanten slaan de deuren dicht !

Ik wist niet wat ik deed.
Ik deed net als de rest.
Het lot gooit met de dobbelsteen.
En je toekomst is voor goed verpest.

Radeloos, als je wakker schrikt en je bijna stikt.
Zo radeloos, als je vloeken moet want het leven doet alleen maar pijn.
Wie wist dat de wereld zo eenzaam kon zijn.

Weet je nog die stuntelige vrijpartij ?
De eerste keer, en ik was nog net zo groen als zij.
Mis gegokt en ineens kun geen kant meer uit.
Nu draait het om dat ene besluit.
Trouw je met haar, hou je van haar, hou je van haar ?

Radeloos, met een schuldgevoel
Door die klote boel.
Zo radeloos, met je stomme kop zit je in het slop.
Je voelt je klein .
Je bent veel te jong om volwassen te zijn.
Radeloos, want je hoofd zit vol en dat maak je dol.
Radeloos, niemand heeft nog tijd maar je moet het kwijt.
En dat doet pijn, je ziet dat je vrienden je vrienden niet zijn.

Als je ziet wat voor je ligt.
Van alle kanten slaan de deuren dicht.
Ik dacht hij snapt het wel.
Of is ie als de rest?
Het lot gooit met een dobbelsteen
En je toekomst is voorgoed verpest.

Radeloos, want je hooft zit vol en dat maakt je dol.
Radeloos, niemand heeft nog tijd maar je moet het kwijt.
En dat doet pijn, je ziet dat je vrienden je vrienden niet zijn.
Radeloos, als je wakker schrikt en je bijna stikt.
Zo radeloos, van de weg geraakt en je toekomst maakt je doodsbenauwd
Je trouwt met een meid die niet eens van je houdt
Waarom moet je boeten voor een kleine fout?
Wat radeloos maakt, het laat mensen koud

It’s not worth one night on earth,
baby I know, baby I know.
I won’t know whose lips you’re kissing,
baby I know.
You don’t know what you have done,
baby I know, baby don’t go.
You don’t know what you are missing,
baby, and so…

there’s not a sacrifice too strong
I’ve been alone for far too long.
I’d be a fool to fail, I follow you.
You must believe.

Promise the earth.
Give her the ocean.
A kiss on the wind goes straight to the heart.
Promise the earth
with tears of emotion
if fate is a force that tears you apart.

Please believe me, I would sell my soul for you.
It’s not too late.
And we can turn back the time.

Baby I know
I lay down with you in dreams.
Baby I know, baby don’t go.
I was driven by this vision,
baby, and so…
if I could testify to you
then I could prove my aim is true,
if I am guilty or I’m innocent,
you must believe.

Promise the earth.
Give her the ocean .
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart (baby believe).
Promise the earth
with tears of emotion
if fate is a force that tears you apart.

You know I’m only human, so what am I supposed to say.
(Of) course I’m gonna miss you and curse the day you went away.
What I would surrender, if I could make you turn around.
The world we’ve got together, forever is on solid ground.

Oooh, baby don’t go.
Baby don’t go.
Baby don’t go.
Baby.
You’re part of every dream
before the dawn.
You must believe.

Promise the earth.
Give her the ocean.
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart (make her believe).
Promise the earth
with tears of emotion
if fate is a force that tears you apart.

Baby believe.
Promise the earth.
Give her the ocean.
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart.
Promise the earth
with tears of emotion
if fate is a force that tears you apart.

Baby believe.
Promise the earth.
Promise the earth.
Promise the earth.
Promise the earth.
You better believe.

  Qui te dira
La présence l’importance que tu as pour moi
Je vis des jours sans noms quand ta voix me blesse
Ou si je crois que ton coeur me laisse
J’ai des mots
Incapable de te dire si j’ai froid ou chaud
J’ai rencontré la peur en vivant pour toi
J’ai cru renaître et mourir cent fois

Vivre pour toi vivre pour toi
Rien que toi
Mais je veux bien tout supporter
Si je suis sûre d’être aimée
Promets-moi le ciel et la terre
Promets-moi aussi d’être là pour toujours
Moi je n’ai qu’une prière et c’est nuit et jour
Notre univers de joie n’aura pas de fin
Si tu partages mes yeux mon coeur mes mains

Vivre pour toi vivre pour toi
Rien que toi
Moi je veux bien ce qui te plaît
Si je suis sûre d’être aimée
Promets-moi le ciel et la terre
Promets-moi le ciel et la terre
Notre univers de joie n’a jamais jamais de fin
Si tu partages mes yeux mon coeur mes mains

Vivre pour toi vivre pour toi
Rien que toi
Oui je veux bien tout supporter
Si je suis sûre d’être aimée
Promets-moi le ciel et la terre
Promets-moi le ciel et la terre

Oui je veux bien tout supporter
Si je suis sûre d’être aimée
Promets-moi
Promets-moi

oh baby, possession.
Possession.
Baby, what I wouldn’t give for possession?
Oh baby, possession,

Baby, I would lay down my life,
 
I can’t fake masquerades.
Your disguises just make me afraid.
Yesterday, oh,
I was facing a future alone, oh.
 
It’s possession,

Possession.
You know I would sell you my soul for possession.
Oh baby, possession,
sweet confession.
You know I would lay down my life.
 
Oh what I’d do for possession.
You know I’d break every rule in the book.
Ooh, what I’d do for an answer from you today.
When I’d pay any price for you.
Twenty-four hours a day.
Possession.
It’s crazy what people will do for possession.

    How did you find there was somebody
    more than you want me
    I never understood.
    Maybe I have never had you.
    I have been lonely for you lately.
    I can’t wait another day.
    And when you let me get you close to me,
    you run and leave me…
     
    …paying the price of love.
    The start of my end over you.
    When you’re doing it for someone
    who’ll never be free.
    Now is all there will ever be.
     
    No more to live without you.
    All the nights I dream about you.
     
    Deep in the dark of the night
    I’m a man on a mission
    but safer with you home.
    Never would I make you sorry.
    You are the only drug I crave.
    And I’ve been saving everyday.
    I held it all inside, I pray
    you don’t forget you got me…
     
    …paying the price of love.
    My heart in my hands over you.
    But the battle is just not fair.
    You’ll never be free.
    That emotion is always replaying.
     
    You know the strongest heart
    is broken when it falls.
    You turn and walk away
    and let it die.
    I got this picture in my head
    of you in someone else’s bed,
    and I am torn apart,
    I’m torn apart inside.
     
    I’ll build my world around you.
    I was nothing when I found you.
    Paying the price of love.

    Let’s get started.
    Move in for the kill.
    So sincere.
    I’m here to bend your will.
     
    A man without a face.
    I give you love you’ve never known.
     
    We can hold each other, sight unseen.
    Touching on our darkest dream.
    You can wish for something bad.
    Lovers’ lips you never had.
     
    All she wants is your love.
    All she wants is your love.
     
    We’re the party with no name.
    And we go from flame to flame.
    We’ve got one claim to fame.
    We’re the party with no name.
     
    Make those footsteps to the floor.
    You can’t see us anymore.
    Ain’t no time for the shame
    for the party with no name.
     
    Easy money.
    Get yourself a job.
    It’s my invitation.
    Been alone too long.
     
    A soul without a space.
    A party with no name.
     
    See, truth is there, but she don’t see.
    Her life is just a mystery.
    I’d give her more than I could give.
    I’d even die that she could live.
     
    All she wants is your love.
    All she wants is your love.
     
    We’re the party with no name.
    And we go from flame to flame.
    We’ve got one claim to fame.
    We’re the party with no name.
     
    All she wants is your love.
    All she wants is your love.

    Lonely people gathering there to be one,
    gonna be the last time wasted,
    gonna be seen to be gone.
    Run a mile for the minute,
    gonna mind another day without you in it.
     
    And you,
    you promised me paradise,
    don’t go back on your word,
    no, you, you promised me paradise.
     
    All my days of loving you under my skin.
    Gonna be a wild, wild world
    when nobody wants to give in.
    Gonna call me on the hour,
    gonna mind if I don’t hear it,
    I would hate to be you.
     
    You promised me paradise,
    don’t go back on your word,
    no, you, you promised me paradise.
     
    Can you tell me if there’s gonna be another reason to cry?
    Will I be the last to know?
    Unless we make another way of doing what we do,
    we don’t believe it anymore,
    will I be the one to cry?
     
    Problems, problems haunting me,
    circle my head.
    Gonna be a wild world,
    let me hide away under your bed.
    Run a mile for the minute,
    gonna mind another day without you in it.
     
    And you,
    you promised me paradise,
    don’t go back on your word,
    no, you, you promised me paradise,
    you promised me paradise.
    Ah.. Ah.. Ah… Ah…
    You promised me paradise
    Ah… ah..

    Na na na …
    Paper mache and telegraph poles,
    things go dead in the night
    Make enough noise to make enough noise
    to make you want to jump with fright.
     
    Elephant’s tusks and autograph books,
    people you don’t meet.
    Haven’t got a bed to lay my head,
    shoes to fit my feet.
     
    Don’t be scared.
    You’re better off than nothing.
    You’re answering to no one.
    Paper mache.
     
    Paper mache and telegraph poles,
    things go dead in the night.
    Make enough noise to make enough noise
    to make you want to jump with fright.

    people you don’t meet.
    Haven’t got a bed to lay my head,
    shoes to fit my feet.
     
    Aah…
     
    Don’t be scared.
    You’re better off than nothing.
    You’re answering to no one (aah).
    Paper mache.
     
    All of a sudden it happened,
    when you did what you said you’d do,
    and you broke my heart in two
    like paper mache.
     
    All of a sudden it happened, oh.
    You came into my life.
    Like paper mache you broke my heart.
    Like paper mache,
    paper mache,
    like paper mache.
     
    Paper mache and telegraph poles,
    things go dead in the night.
    Make enough noise to make enough noise
    to make you wanna jump with fright.
     
    Elephant’s tusks and autograph books,
    people you don’t meet.
     
    La la la la …
     
    Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang,
    Jimmy was everywhere. (7 times)
