Back On My Feet

I’ve got too much to do but not enough sleep.
Want to spend some time with you but there are promises to keep
Too much to decide, however much I toss and turn
I cannot get it right, there’s one thing I still have to learn
Cause when I’m feeling sad And when I’m feeling down
I have to get my feet Get my feet back on the ground
Chorus:
I have got to get back back on my feet feet on the ground to get back on my feet
I have got to get back back on my feet What I need is to get back on my feet
Avoiding every problem that is in my way.
But there will be a new one the very next day
No one to lean on, a lot of tears I weep.
I have really never seen myself sink so deep
But when I’m feeling blue or when I wear a frown
There’s one thing I have to do. Get my feet back on the ground
Chorus
That’s what I need. What I need is to get back on my feet!

To Annoy
04:40
|

|
Every single person on the face of the earth was put here with a plan
You might not see that so clear yourself yet, but I know someone that can
He doesn’t live that far from me but you’ve got to understand
We’re all part of a conspiracy and he knows about our plan
Chorus:
To annoy the man living upstairs from me
To annoy the man, man and his wife
To annoy the man living upstairs from me
To destroy their quiet life
Whether it’s the smell of my cooking or the sound of the phone
Is it the way that I’m looking or just the fact that I am home|
Whether they laugh or shout at the end of the street
The telly is on too loud or the hallway’s not kept neat
Chorus
Every single person has doubts from time to time, and everyone knows fear
Sometimes life’s wonderful, sometimes not worth a dime but you always have a floor on which to press your ear
Chorus!
To annoy the man living downstairs from you
To annoy that man, man or his wife
To annoy the man living downstairs from you
To destroy..
Well however you look on things and life, remember what I’ve told you here.
According to some man and his wife your bigger goal is clear
Chorus
To destroy their quiet life

Separate Lives
03:07

Mornings coffee’s gone cold I try to wipe my tears away
You said love has no distance and you can’t stay
You follow daylight then leave me in the dark
In the dark with my aching heart
Chorus:
Separate ways, separate lives. Two people can’t be one
Separate ways, separate lives. One stays in the dark the other follows the sun
Pack your bags you’re leaving soon You have to fly to the skies above
Come stay with me this once and share with me this beautiful feeling called love|
Turn your head and look me in the eye. Tell me that’s what you need, don’t tell me any lies
Chorus
Turn your head and look me in the eye. Tell me that’s what you need, don’t tell me any lies
Chorus – Separate lives

Lyrics: Karolien Hill (to Lennaert Boost)
I have happy memories of my childhood. Live was easy as a child’s life should be
And when I think about the past I thought the happiness would last
Chorus:
You were one of the people that meant a lot, you meant a lot to me
I didn’t realize it as much until now
Please don’t think your being forgotten
I’m so glad about the way our lives crossed somehow
I have such nice memories of you. They are still inside of me
But you won’t be there to share them anymore. That’s no longer meant to be
Chorus
Until I was twelve you were my boyfriend. Although we were so young then
Your joy I will never forget. Because you live in my memories
Chorus
Until I was twelve you were my boyfriend. Although we were so young then
Your joy I will never forget. Because you live in my memories
You meant a lot to me. Until now. Forgotten. The way our lives crossed somehow
Chorus

This Way
03:34
|

|
You see life in a different way with lots of betrayal and hate
I can try to understand you but I can’t really relate|
This way you won’t get what you want. All you do is struggle and strife
Someone should help you but I can’t. You lead a destructive life
Chorus
There’s nothing you’re going to get if you keep doing
There’s nothing you’re going to get
If you keep doing like that
I can’t make your decisions I can’t live your life for you
You can’t hold me responsible I tried to be there for you
But at some point you crossed that border I have to live my own life too
That’s something you seem to forget But that is what I have to do
Chorus
I do care but it breaks me. When you leave you aren’t gone
I can’t get you out of my mind. I need to be alone

Empty
03:30
|
|||
|
I need some money so I have to go to work
I need some money but my boss is a jerk
I need some money and I’m going berserk
And it’s not funny cause I don’t like my work
Chorus:
Empty – Every time, my wallets
Empty – It’s finished again
Empty – I don’t earn a dime
Empty – What are my debts this time?
What are my debts this time?
I need some money cause I have to pay the rent
I need some money I don’t know where it went
I need some money cause it all is spend
Don’t earn a penny by playing with the band YET
Chorus
Cause you know. I’d like to sing 7 days in a row instead of working
But the income is low I keep on dreaming about tomorrow but my pocket‘s still
Chorus
Empty – What are my debts this time

Sorry
02:35
|
|||
|
Sometimes you look at me as if you hate me. You try to hide it but your eyes can’t lie
I don’t know exactly what I’ve done wrong this time. what I’ve done wrong this time
Sorry I can’t be the friend you want me to be
I know your expectations of friends are high I’m afraid that I can’t live up to them
I seem to let you down over and over again over and over again
Sorry I can’t be the friend you want me to be
I can’t find the right words to say to you. Every word seems to be the worst
I cannot comfort you or take your pain away. or take your pain away
Sorry I can’t be the friend you want me to be
I’m sorry that I can’t be your friend

Paradox
03:22
|
|||
|
I feel miserable cause I see my dream drifting away
It’s slipping through my fingers I try to find the words to say
But we speak different languages, if I say yes you say no
Taste is not negotiable it’s time for me to go
Chorus
I want you to want what I want
I want you to feel what I feel
I want you to like what I like
But I want you to want it for real
I keep on waiting to be satisfied
I’ll wait forever ’til I know I’ve really tried
My drive is diminishing I need to be stimulated
If I keep on going on I see myself doing what I hated
Chorus
Am I a coward not to stand for my believes
Are we compatible or too different in our needs?
Should I accept that we will never ever be one?
And that our differences cannot be overcome
