IT GOT TO BE LOVE

Love my babe, I love my babe yes I will
why she’s running, run run running she can’t sit still
the more I give her, the more I give her,
the less she flames
how I’m burning, dizzy giddy turning, she dominates
gale of gales, blown away, all my brain
I’m her lover oh I want her ain’t no question babe
I got to give it up got to give it up
oh my love
Come in my world it’s been too long
Come on higher it can’t be wrong
Come on higher, come on it got to be love

I saw my baby I saw my baby in a dream
Why she’s moving why she’s moving to my feet
Come on babe a little bit higher to my knees
Why she’s doing it, why she’s doing it, it seems so real
come on girl the day is on, the night will come oeh I’m her lover, yeah I’m a lover
oh my love, got to give it up
Come in my world it’s been too long
Come on higher it can’t be wrong
Come on higher it got to be love

 

Faith Losing Skin

Lied wat stamt uit eerste periode ‘Hole and Corner’, (hippie-peace band) de tijd dat we veel in Nijmegen / Doornroosje speelden toen er nog ruim achterover werd ‘geleund’, bij optredens en niet als haringen in een ton op en neer sprongen (die in hun jeugd ook weer geen aandacht kregen thuis…

Faith Losing Skin

All boys and girls come right up here
don’t gonna think I wanna change your mind it hurt my ears yeah yeah yeah
It hurt my ears
It’s gong on too long
It just can’t go on

Are you still waiting for the new born King
are you still hungry if you will win
nobody’s thinking no no no you get along I’m not kidding
peace will never come

Before you die you got to choose
all for loving or your lover to loose
Who’s gonna make it all down the drain
You’ll have your way
Ah faith losing skin…mmmm

When the River Won’t Flow

WHEN THE RIVER WON’T FLOW

Far is the way from home
when the river won’t flow
When the river won’t flow wow wow wow
when the river won’t flow

I call up my girl, it’s been too long
living in a world love won’t grow
too much living you won’t regret, after all
talk to the river but it won’t go back, you once belong

Children play in dead-end streets
win the day, make ends meet
Losing time on to-morrow’s feet
now that it’s gone oh boy! ai ai ai

Far is the way from home….

Look around your world, look up in the air
maybe we’ll share mmm some day
some day when the river calls your name
still babe, look to Heaven it won’t complain
your prayer

You are like space, around me babe
seeing you, all I face
without love I can’t go on
don’t let it slip away….ai ai ai
