Songs and sounds
Still I carry on though I’ve been waiting much too long
I’ve been lost I’ve been found
Up, to come right down
I’ve been stopped, my luck impound
And I put my worries, into songs and sounds
Exhibit came to my aid, hailed and praised
But it had my soul out for sale
Burned down, when it all failed
I’ve been stopped, my luck impound
So I put my worries into songs and sounds
While the world came down
And I stood my ground
While their world came down
Then I fell into disgrace, took a liking in being made
I’ve been SSIK and oversee, open, secretly
I’ve been the first, but always late
I got sunburned in the shade
My luck impound
And I put my worries in these songs and sounds
While the world came down
I just stood my ground
For a chance to come around

Mind

Mind
A slight urge to call you
In the middle of the night
Your sight has set me on fire but it’s warmth without delight
Since you were mine during that time
The state you left me in felt strange for I was denied
I find myself so blind
But I didn’t mind
I remember the whispers, your ‘sirens-advise’
They brought a smile to your face that never reached your eyes
When I took the fall and I was nursing my pride
You felt great you’d left me 'dead' and denied
I find myself so blind
But I didn’t mind
Defeat is my greatest triumph
Apologies are not due
The clues you’ve left me
Girl I wonder, did you know I knew that I’d be fine
Cause I didn’t mind

The rules

The rules
Can't stare it in the face
Won't find it in one place
Trace it if I could, but it won't be understood
Who is in control
Will I ever bare that soul
It plays a trick on me and it seems to fool us all
Wish that you and I were lovers
but I don’t know the game
Please can I have the rules explained again
Some say its in the stars
But I bet for the moon
The answers ain’t that far, but it won’t be found too soon
It’s playing with my heart
It’s passion pulls the pain
Intending to outsmart, but I end up in refrain
Wish that you and I were lovers
but I don’t know the game
Please can I have the rules explained again

Hit me with a kiss

Hit me with a kiss
I’m close to comfort with my task he said, when I asked
I want straight tonight, but I’m diverted all the time
Is that bad?
And when he hit me with his kiss
I tasted whiskey on my lips burning
Full of fire was he, who loved me
He’d hide in trees to oversee
the targets, hit on the liver or close to it
A figure filled his upper arm
A tattooed Calvin like his so
What a charm
But he kissed me with his fist,
I tasted teardrops on my lips burning
Full of fire was he, who undone me
His head’s at home, a heart o’ stone,
Said: live my life to ruine another one
Bought the sweet another shot
He dropped his guns for the drink was all he got
When he kissed me with his fist,
I tasted blood on my lips, turning,
Full of anger is he, full of hatred he’ll be,
he who learned how to kill me

Prayer for the gun

Prayer for the gun
On the horizon of desert sand
Surrounded by devout naked land
We drove out early before the dawn
Waited silent for things to come
And what followed looked like the sun
Was a prayer for the gun
Before the earth moved there was the sound
Dark billows rose over holy ground
I was tempted to look right in
Where He could withstand I pledged to sin
And what followed looked like the sun
Was praying for a gun
As the spirit sent him out to do what he has done shouting kingdom come!
I fell down upon my knees to meet my maker with a plea to make it all undone
And what followed looked like the sun
Was praying for a gun

Silence falls

Silence falls
Goodnight dear bottle
It is time for me to go
Before long I’ll be back to say hello
Goodbye dear friends and all that follows
You know the clock says time to close
We’ve been down to the bottom and it shows
We'll be meeting, bumping into doorways
And walking into walls
Taking steps right before the tumble, before the silence falls
Goodnight see you in the morning
I’ll be waiting just outside
My guide to life is hiding round the corner, right?
So we’ll be meeting, bumping into doorways
And walking into walls
Here’s to us
Taking steps right before the tumble, before the silence falls
We’ll be meeting, somewhere near the doorway
On the steps of heavens gate
And I will sing this song
Here’s to us, right before the tumble, before the silence falls

Right here
Honey, honey, I think it's time to go low
To give in, surrender or we'll explode
You and I are hard to combine
Our love is a war fought at the front line
Honey, honey I think it's time to let go
Cause right here, right now, we can change and turn around
Who believes that all we've said is done
And the battle of sexes is all that we've become
You and I are caught in crossfire
Our love is a war, its what desires are good for
Honey, honey, I think it's time to let go
Right here, right now, we can change and turn around
Right here, right now, we can change and turn around
And have you felt lonely?
Do you think that god is a man?
Let us start all over again
Do you think I'm just a fool?
When I play this one for you too?
Right here, right now, we can change and turn around
Right here, right now, we can change and turn around
And we start all over again

Opportunities
Good luck to you
Run off you fools
You’re feet will follow later
Make way, relate
There’s no escape
We’ll find today tomorrow
What it is baby can’t you see
It’ s being here or not to be
So why don’t we?
Stick together baby, we got soul
Heaven knows that after all
We can’t live off rock & roll
Stay put, hands up
Hand out your love
Receive, return, surrender
We push and pull
Then bend the rules
In time for worse and better
And God’s glue got me dreaming I’d stuck on you
Don’t remember what we have to
Just forget the things we should have done

Families out on parade
Women are minding their ways
Teenagers drawn by the fire
And bellies filled with desire
Mothers and fathers, brothers and sons
Daughters, sisters, all and then some
Remember the story is old
It goes on and on
Old men drowning their tears
They’re drunk from an orgy of years
All part of the plot and the fun
A history of righting our wrongs
Mothers and fathers, brothers and sons
Daughters, sisters, all and then some
Remember the story is old
It goes on and on and on
Bound to bond and love and mourn
And on and on and on
And so it goes,
We give what we get,
Yet what they know
Is what we’re told
So you might add a little hurt
Add a little hope next time
But in this life
This time we’re lost and it goes on

Come back to me
You got to come back to me
I’ll paint you the picture
I’ll write you poetry
Devote my life to All you need is love
Although I prefer to be
Somewhat lonesome
And comfort worries me
You unleash an awful lot of
Take my hand
Bend my will
Hold me tight
Kiss and thrill
But give me a life before you leave
Because you got to come back to me
You got to make way for me
You got to come back to me
Make way for me
Come back to me
and tell me I’m not the only one in love
You got to come back to me
Home’s where the hurt is
Where hugs and hostility
Go hand in hand
With elegance and ease
Crack your whip
Break my will
Hold me tight
Kiss me still
But give me your love before you leave
Because you got to come back to me

Better man
Could have been a better man
A better lover and a better friend
I could have been what I was told to be
Could have been what you wanted to
But I never do the things I should
Will I become what I have been all along
It takes time to find your life
And a life to find that time
It takes as little as we know
It takes passion, it takes peace
Fights and disbelief
But where life leads you, you must go
Could have been a poet or
Simply be the boy next door
Off to war, a soldier smoking roses
I have had my money’s worth
Bought and sold and feinted hurt
But destiny is the ground beneath our feet
When it all comes down
When it all blows up
When the choices have been made
When it all blows up
When it all comes down
We are free to choose our fate
It takes time to find your life
And a life to find that time
It takes as little as we know
It takes passion, it takes peace
Fights and disbelief
But where life leads you, you must go

Love always hopes

LOVE ALWAYS HOPES
AND WE TALK ABOUT A LOT
BUT WE TALK ABOUT IT NOT
NO, WE CAN’T GIVE UP TONIGHT
FOR THIS LOVE PROPELLED OUR LIVES
KNOT OUR TIES
WE ALL KNEW WE WANTED SOMETHING
THOUGH WE NEVER QUITE KNEW WHAT
BUT SHE STOLE OUR HEART AND SOUL
THEN WE NAMED HER ROCK AND ROLL
AND WE GAVE ALL
YES IT’S HER I’LL FOLLOW
I’LL FOLLOW TO THE END OF THIS BLIGHTED BAND
HERE WE GO
WITH THE SAME VOICE, THE SAME GOALS
AND LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES
OOH WE DREAMT OF BEING STARS
IT JUST NEVER GOT THAT FAR
SHE LOST INTEREST, LOST CONTROL
WE GREW UP, WE GOT OLD
ALMOST, ALMOST
AND IT’S HER I FOLLOW
I FOLLOW TO THE END OF THIS BLIGHTED BAND
HERE WE GO
WITH A SAME VOICE, THE SAME GOALS
AND LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES
ITS THE SAME HEART, THE SAME SOAP
YES LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES
NEVER THAT SAME MISTAKE
NEVER LET HER KNOW
HERE WE GO, TO THE END
OF THIS BLIGHTED BAND
HERE WE GO
WITH A SAME VOICE, THE SAME GOALS
AND LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES
ITS THE SAME HEART, THE SAME SOAP
YES LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES

SAVE ME
I TOO FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU
I WAS STRUCK BY THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES
HELD YOUR HANDS WHEN YOU SPOKE TO ME
WAKE UP IT IS TIME TO RISE
YOU WANTED ME TO COME WITH YOU
AND YOU TOLD ME HOW IT COULD BE
WHEN I ARRIVE FOR YOU TAKE ME HOME
YOU WOULD BE THERE WAITING FOR ME
AND YOU SAVE ME WHENEVER YOU’RE NEAR
I WAS LOST WHEN YOU FOUND ME DEAR
YOU SAVE ME AND DRY MY TEARS
YOU MAKE ME
I TRIED TO WALK AND I FOUND MY FEET
AT THE DAWN OF ANOTHER NEW DAY
YOU TOOK ME DANCING IN THE STREETS
TO A SOUL SAID TO LEAD ME ASTRAY
YOU TELL THE TRUTH TO A SINGLE CHORD
AND I’M READY NOW TO BELIEVE
TOUCHED BY THE FLAME AND BORN AGAIN
FOR THE MESSAGE SEND IS RECEIVED
AND YOU SAVE ME WHENEVER YOU’RE NEAR
I WAS LOST WHEN YOU FOUND ME DEAR
YOU SAVE ME AND DRY MY TEARS
YOU MAKE ME
I NEED TO GO WITH YOU TO PLACES YET UNKNOWN
SHOW ME WHERE TO GO
HOW TO FIND YOU
YOU SAVE ME
WHENEVER I FEAR, TRUST IN YOU TO FIND ME DEAR
YOU SAVE ME AND DRY MY TEARS
YOU MAKE ME

Lost weekend

LOST WEEKEND
WHEN YOU’RE UP TO NO GOOD
BECAUSE YOU’RE MISUNDERSTOOD
I’LL TAKE YOU ANYWHERE THE WIND BLOWS, AWAY FOR GOOD
‘CAUSE YOUR DADDY’S BEEN RUDE
CROSS THE SEAS LIKE A SAILOR WOULD
OVER THE EDGE OF THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD
WHEN YOU BURN WITH DESIRE
BUT YOUR LOVE IS A LIAR
WE’LL GO ANYWHERE THE WIND BLOWS, HIGHER AND HIGHER
WHEN IT COMES TO THE WIRE
LET’S GET DRUNK TO QUENCH THAT FIRE
SINK AWAY IN BURNING MIRE
ON A SHARP DESCEND
A LOST WEEKEND
FEAST A DAY IN HELL, JUST TO ESCAPE
AND AGAIN, WHAT A GOOD REASON FOR A STRAY SEASON
FIND RELIEF IN PURGATORY MY DEAR
FINALLY
WHEN YOUR VISION IS BLURRED
AND YOU STAND OUT OF THE HERD
YOU’RE DRIFTING ANYWHERE THE WIND BLOWS, BEYOND THE WORD
‘CAUSE YOUR MOM WENT BERSERK
FIND YOURSELF TRAPPED IN THE DIRT
HERE’S THE THING THAT LAST OCCURRED
ON A SHARP DESCEND
A LOST WEEKEND
FEAST A DAY IN HELL, JUST TO ESCAPE
AND AGAIN, WHAT A GOOD REASON FOR A STRAY SEASON
FIND RELIEF IN PURGATORY MY DEAR
FINALLY

DRUNKEN BED
DRUNKEN BED TAKE ME FROM HERE
I’M TIRED AND I WANT TO SLEEP OFF THE TEARS
BURY ME, PLEASE, UNDER YOUR SHEETS
TAKE ME AWAY TO THAT FARAWAY PLACE
DRUNKEN BED
DRUNKEN BED
GET ME OUT OF HERE
CRADLE MY MIND WITH THE MONSTERS BENEATH
AND OFFER MY BONES TO THEIR GRINDING TEETH
PRETEND THERE’S NEVER BEEN SOMEONE LIKE ME
THERE WAS NEVER LAST NIGHT
NEVER THAT FIGHT
DRUNKEN BED TAKE ME FROM HERE
I’M SMELLING OF DARK
REEKING OF FEAR
LET ME FORGET THIS DELIRIOUS DREAM
GET ME OUT OF HERE

Solo Utrecht, Netherlands
It's quite simple, really. Solo (Michiel Flamman, Simon Gitsels backed by Reyer Zwart and Rowin Tettero) has one goal and one goal only: a song can only see the light of day when it's perfect. Solo is always in search of a "Timeless Melody". In the Netherlands, Solo's music has become a hallmark of pop songs with a golden glow. ... more
