Songs About / On: COMMIT

It took me twenty years to stand up straight and tall
It took me all of twenty seconds for everything to fall
I don't worry about my pride anymore
'Cause pride is something, I just can't afford
I'd go beggin' in the rain read more »

See boy strange on the horizon of love
He’s calling to you
What do you say

See boy strange as an example of youth
So close to the truth but still far away read more »

In a world without leaders
Who’d start all the wars?
The world that your saving
Will always be yours read more »

Music & lyrics: anouk teeuwe / ricardo pronk

I don’t exist for you
You made that crystal clear
Your sweetest thing for 7 years
What did I do to deserve this read more »

You can look at the menu but you just can’t eat
You can feel the cushions but you can’t have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool but you can’t have a swim
You can feel the punishment but you can’t commit the sin
And you want her and she wants you read more »

See ya blowin’ me a kiss
It doesn’t take a scientist
To understand what’s going on baby
If you see something in my eye
Let’s not over analyze
Don’t go too deep with it baby
So let it be what it’ll be
Don’t make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here’s what I do, I play it loose
Not like we have a date with destiny read more »

Upon this threshold of disaster
The birth of the eleventh plague
The fires burn at night, I begin to doubt the smell of burning flesh
Will ever fade away

The touch of death is all around us
A thousand corpses block our way
A man-made germ makes almost everyone commit suicide
Just to rise and eat their dead
Night of the living Dead...

We're hunting humans
We're hunting humans
We're hunting humans
It's killing time every day

I can't control this eerie feeling
An evil screaming in my head
I don't I'll last the night
There is no cure
For this genocide
Or resurrection of the dead
Night of the living Dead...

We're hunting humans... read more »

Yes it’s me
I am the one
To make you see
Where we belong
I was shaking
Like a leaf
All wrapped up
In my dirty sheets
If I agree
To what comes next
I would be faking
With the best of them
It seems a crime
I would commit
Without the difference
Of all the world’s gifts read more »

(Mark Hollis / Simon Brenner / Paul Webb / Lee Harris)
Cover me with shades of disbelief
Can happiness be someone's else's dream
Numbers call to spell my name
Move about as values change read more »

You don't have to sell
Well it can be only a mistake
Excluding all that seems to be before
Recollecting minds that intake
When I contemplate it gets sore read more »
