Be Yourself…together….een in -one take- opgenomen volbloed blues / rock met magistrale tekst uit 1969. Ode aan ‘Ingrid’ opgenomen na zelfmoord poging en onfortuinlijke psychiatrie.
BE YOURSELF TOGETHER
He, who tries to hurt you, got no pride at all
He, who doesn’t know what it is to suffer
got no life at all
He, who doesn’t want for better
don’t know how hard it is to fall
Yes it’s easy to pretend, you need no helping hand
you need nobody, those who always try to do so clever can’t even understand how close they are, near at the end
so be yourself together
The days are wounded, the night is cold
the world I know is so much better
be yourself together
So don’t fear those, who cannot see through their eyes
they love to follow, don’t try to please what you can’t satisfy
He, who sells his dreams for a nickel and a dime
can’t even love when, yeah you got a chance so be yourself together
No no no I won’t hide it no no
no no I won’t slow down because so much has to be done
No no no if I wanna cry babe
no no no don’t go down because there’s so much love
No you can’t fail when it’s love no you can’t fail to me because the rain is coming down, be yourself together
