All Day Long (De Jonckheere/van Leeuwen)

Wake up in the moring, get out of my bed
Ever the same, rusty nail in my head
Gotta fix me some coffee, gotta find me a fag
No time to shave, it's getting a drag
Got to catch my bus to get there on time
Cause if you're too late, it's a considered crime

All day long, i feel can't go on
Nobody feels the misery inside of me

Walking up to the gate, absorbed by the crowd
Get in the mill, down and out
Here I always feel like a haunted hound
It's like a long train running, that won't ever slow down
Sweat is running in this burning hell
If you can't get cut, you won't live to tell

The whistle blows at the end of the day
Got to go to the office to pick up my pay
Now all I can do is get drunk and forget
Cause in couple of hours I'll be back in my bed

Diamonds (van Leeuwen/Blanksma/Kicken)

I've been looking through your pictures
So many faces of one girl
So many times I failed to leave you
But now I believe I will

I don't know anymore
With of these faces I adored
You keep on running back to me
Through you're still longing to be free

Because baby, you're not my kind
You need diamonds
Wo-no baby, can't leave them behind
Your precious diamonds
Someday you'll find that diamond
made you blind

Through I miss you more than ever
I gotta do what must be done
Through the hurts keeps growing stronger
Now's the time to move on

You know I don't deserve this
No phonecall, no tender kiss
What about the plans we've made
No love child, it's too late

It's all in your mind
dreams, dreams of diamond
it's all in your mind
... Someday you'll find

Feel like making love (Rogers/Ralphs)

Baby, when I think about you
I think about love
Darling, I don't live without you
And your love
And if I had those golden dreams
Of my Yesterday
I would wrap you in the heaven
I feel it dying on the way

I feel like making
Feel like making love
Feel like making love
Feel like making love
Feel like making love to you

Baby, if I think about you
I think about love
Darling, If I live without you
I live without love
And if I had the sun and moon
And we were shining
I would give you both night and day
Love satisfying

Fire (Van Leeuwen/Blanksma)

The moment we met
I thought you were special
Our love was a dream
and dreams never last
But I know better
for all those years
You've been cheating me

Never thought you could
Never thought you could
Fake like this

Fire, you're play with fire
And it won't get you higher
Cause you're playing with fire

I don't blame you
because we are young
Young lovers don't know the rules
Instead of the most
this game is for two
...Young lovers don't know the rules

Harbor Of Love (De Jonckheere/van Leeuwen)

I have seen the whales in motion
I have sailed the blueest seas
I saw the mighty eagle above the greenest trees
Have been climbing the highest mountains
Where no one else has been
I walked on virgin icefields
As wide as one can see

Now I feel time has come,
to share the memories that came along
Now I know where you are
heading for the harbor of love
Harbor of love
Harbor of love

Travelled across the oceans
Dolphins at my side
Tracked down the amazone
Slept out in open skies
Have conquered the wildest rivers
Where no one else survived
That is what nature gave me
To know the love of life

Harbor of love
I'm going in, heading for the harbor of love
Harbor of love
I'm going in, heading for the harbor of love (2x)

I'm On To You (De Jonckheere/Van Leeuwen)

They would like to know you well
They all believe the tales you tell
But I can see it in your eyes
You're a liar in disguise
You know you can't fool me
I can't tell it's the way you act
I don't mind, for I realize
You've been alone too long

Don't matter what you are
Don't matter what you do
I'm on to you
Don't matter what you are
Don't matter what you do
I'm on to you

Nobody knows that you're so sad
They don't know the trash you stash
But I can see it in your eyes
You're a liar in disguise
You know you can't fool me
I know what's on your mind
So let go and run with me
And leave it all behind

Don't matter what you are
Don't matter what you do
I'm on to you
Don't matter what you are
Don't matter what you do
I'm on to you

Queen Of The Catwalk (De Jonckheere/van Leeuwen)

Her anatomic grace,
her body dressed up in lace
Ooh, she sets you on fire
with a smile on her face

She gives you all that you want
She gives you all that you need
And if you're ready or not
She gives you all that she's got

Still nobody knows her name
She wants fortune and fame
This lady moves like a queen
She knows how to play the game

When she looks at me,
she takes me higher
I can't take any more,
she's my desire

She got the looks of a hawk
and she's the queen of the catwalk

So Many Roads (Jonckheere/Leeuwen/Koenn/Wassenbergh)

The top is down,
the sun is shining on my dusty Caddilac
a long way from home
This lonely highway
almost makes me loose my mind

I gotta sixpack in the back
I light another sigarette
Turn the radio on
A long forgotten song
makes me think of you

With my jeans stuck to the hood
I watched the sun go down
Ooh, I gotta find some peace of mind

Had some bad times through the years
and I cried a million tears
I was lost and alone,
I didn't have a home

There are so many roads
and I don't know wich way to go

I've seen a lot of places on the way
but I could never stay for too long
A little voice inside my head
kept felling me son
you better move on

Standing On The Corner (De Jonckheere)

Standing on the corner
Back against the wall
Staring in to nothing
Still waiting for your call

You don't know that I feel sorry
You're going down, down, down
Don't understand, you make me worry
All the time

CHORUS (nanana...)

Tried so hard to find you
But you were always gone
Searching for some answers
So lost and all allone

Life's so hard without you
I thought you were all mine
Babe, you know I loved you
For a long, long time

Taking Chances (De Jonckheere/van Leeuwen)

Every morning there's a brand new day
So you gonna get up and do it your way
Ain't nothing gonna stop ya but that's allright
You're dreaming of a better life

I always knew right from the start
the time would come you'd break my heart
You really hurt me but you don't care
Taking chances

I thought that we are magical
It all seemed wonderful to me
Oh girl, you were my fantasy
And the love you gave to me

Taking chances
Oh, that's all you wanna do
Taking chances
You won't be back
till your dreams come true
Taking chances
You say you wanna leave tonight
Taking chances

You always did it your own way
Nothing that can make you stay
And you won't be back,
till your dreams come true
But there's nothing I can do

U Turn Me On (De Jonckheere/Van Leeuwen)

Baby, I'm driven by a restless wave
When I see your tempting body, dressed in lace
You know every way to my desire
Your lips, a guarantee to make me high

You know all that I want
Your passion is all, all I need
As the feeling gets strong
It's blowing my mind, blowing my mind

U turn me on
We'll Go on, make love all night
U turn me on
Soaking wet till morning light

Baby, your bodyscent just drives me wild
Sugar, it keeps me hot all through the night
Hunger makes you twirl around me like a snake
You heart yearns for more to give and take

It's the rhythm that goes
I'm running my hands through your hair
I think I'm lossing control
You're driving me mad, all the time
