Dance Along

Lyrics by Tejo Verstappen
Music Thomas Nordhausen and Tejo Verstappen

It s not that easy to find a tender time together
and leave the rush of daily life  - and dream a way
Its hard to organize a moment of intension
and face the romance that we gathered these past years

hold my hands love - and lets dance
hold my hands love - and romance

the every day routine can carry things too far love
please sit down and muse a little for a while
bring us back to where we found our love girl
behave like lovers do - to night we re gonna dance

bridge:
cause dancing can refresh rusted minds
a swing or a samba or rock n roll
feel  free glide soo gently dance with me
a rondo of romance  -  darling please - dance

Darlin You!

Lyrics by Tejo Verstappen
Music Hookerman


Close your eyes - have no fear - the monster is gone
I will  pack my bags and drive far away from here
and visit a world where I m nothing and  - g r i e f
cause our love  - has gone for good…..

maybe one kiss - maybe a smile - one for the road before my heart will die..
and wave goodbye I ll take of to  nowhere land - nowhere land….

A  thousand  words - a little truth  - I'm almost gone
Fairytales no more the same  - the job 's been done
all that s been written is whipped out for good
you wrote everything now I ll  close the  book….
maybe one kiss - maybe one more - one for the road before my heart will die..
and wave goodbye I ll take of to  nowhere land - nowhere land….

ooh Darling  U

Diggin a Hole - Hookerman   -


lyrics by Hartmuth Heil
Music Hookerman

I m diggin a hole in the garden
I m diggin a hole in the night
I m diggin a hole in the frontdoor
I m diggin left and right
a hole is a piece of nothing
and nothing is good for me
I m diggin a hole in the tv set
I m diggin a hole in the sea


I m diggin a hole in the frontdoor
now I can see who knocks
I m diggin a hole in the neighbors head
I m diggin a hole in my box
a hole is a piece of nothing
and nothing is good for me
I m diggin a hole in the kitchen sink
I m diggin a hole in the         s    e    a
Bridge:
without holes in our body
we could not breath or shit and talk
without those big holes on the top of our shoes
we wouldn't be able  to walk

I m diggin a hole in the ceiling
let the sunshine in my brain
And if the sun is not shining
I m diggin a hole in the rain
a hole is a piece of nothing
and nothing is good for me
I m diggin ahole in this song
I m diggin a hole in the          s     e       a

DO U REALLY

Lyrics Tejo Verstappen
Music Hookerman

Do you really want to know me
And find out what can be worthwhile
bridge
I CAN BE GENTLE - I CAN BE RUDE YOU KNOW
SENTIMENTAL - WHEN I M IN THE MOOD
A LIST OF CONFESSIONS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
LITTLE IMPRESSIONS I D LIKE TO SHOW

Do you really like to see  me
And wake me up without a smile

I M NOT A DREAMER LOVE  / I D LIKE TO PAINT THE MOON IN BLACK
I M NOT A GAMBLER  CAUSE I M ALWAYS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACK
A LIST OF CONFESSIONS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
BEFORE WE HOLD OUR HANDS PLEASE DO IT SLOW

bridge
It's a list of imperfections babe - I once collected in my dreams          so fast
hope you can stand that pain  -
and trust me in this love campaign
please let me be sincere
and take         take me as I am

Good things overtake us

Lyrics Tejo Verstappen
Music Hookerman


It s hard to see you crying
brick up your thoughts  - your smile is thin
don't turn away don t let our love die

cause when we´re down - all memories will save us
when we're down     the good things overtake us
just you and I   the good things overtake us
and nothing can t go wrong
nothing can go wrong
We laughed we cried and shared the silence
we both got drunk when a good friend died
when you got lost in cold December

I was your guide      all memories will save us
you and I   the good things overtake us
when we re down those memories will save us
and nothing can t go wrong
nothing can t go wrong
nothing can t go wrong…….

Monkey Zoo

Lyrics Tejo Verstappen
Music Hookerman

spoken intro
: this is not funny this is real - i m not talkin about the devil but failures in daily life - we got lots of them each one his own collection - and i call this song Monkey Zoo….just Monkey Zoo…

Heavy Shoes  -  Flopped Tattoes
Autumn leaves  -  that's no excuse
To hide yourselve in Monkey Zoo's
Dirty Suit - Rotten fruit
Ugly chicks   - Failed magic trics
Stumble hard - over a Saint Bernard
b r I d g e :
these  can be hard and painful moments   --        gathered out of the blue
they can squeeze your live without an accent
and ask yourself :   what did I do……what did I do

See those bare patches   -   in the after world
can t find the rest    - while sleeping curled
my love she left me   - there s  no excuse
she met that guy   -   I m soo confused
I got no beer
to drink and disappear
left with anger
in a cold cold atmosphere

solo - back to A

Non swimmer in the desert

lyrics Hartmuth Heil and Tejo Verstappen
Music Hookerman

A swollen tongue
Sunburned lips
A live belt around his hips
Hallucinations in his head
Eyes are red  and his skin is dead
He s laughing and glad
Cause a non swimmer in the desert should never be………

-------------  guitarsolo --------------------

minutes are fading   fast away
it sounds so silly        but it feels okay
strangled slowly        by the burning  heat
little by little              but ooh so sweet
and then he kisses the sand
he 's  Still laughing and glad
Cause a nonswimmer in the desert should never be ………sad

Sausage

lyrics Hartmuth Heil and Tejo Verstappen
Music Hookerman

Yesterday was easy
sitting on the trees
picking up all the fruits
while touching my knees
water running from the eyes
into my little mouth
I was sleeping all  the day
at the roof of my house

but now the tides are  running
the clock goes tick tack tick tack
NOW THE TIDES ARE RUNNING
tick tack tick tack a s o
now it goes around sausage
Everything has got to be all right
Check your stuff
fix your things
plan your live
and wear a tie
and never never never don t you cry

Yesterday was easy
jumping all around
into the trees and hopping on the ground
with a frozen friendly smile
I had that certain style
made many friends all over
life felt so worthwhile

but now the tides are turning a s o

Something Special


lyrics Tejo Verstappen
music Hookerman

Straying in the twilight
i got no time to lose
ALMOST EVERY NIGHT
it s that same old city cruise
feels like a rush job
aimless on my own
but I know that It will end up
in my danger zone
that s where they call me friend and trust me for who I am
a place where we are equal  - no place to condemn
its something special its daily routine
my own shelter
my co commotion scene

like dirty dozen bodies
we swarm and hang together
hatching all our wildest thoughts
while smoking cigarettes
poolin all our money
ALL THOSE PICK POCKET COINS
it s just a way of living
and everybody joins
That's  where they call me dude they know the tricks I play
even when I cheat in such a different way
it s something special its daily routine
my own shelter
my co commotion scene

Spider on a Banana


lyrics Hartmuth Heil and Tejo Verstappen
music Hookerman


I saw a girl with long and hairy legs
she was a beauty and made me feel like wax
I wanted her
to comfort me
but there was something I refused to see

on a banana everything looks fine and tasty
even when you re calm you ll be hasty
so I tried to kiss
a spider on banana….spider on banana -------spider on banana

She made me crazy she made me sweat
a modern girl with tricks you bet
I felt in love  my hearty went boom
could drown quickly in her magic womb

on a banana everything looks fine and tasty
even when your calm you ll be hasty
so I tried to kiss
a spider on banana ……..a spider on banana ----------spider on banana…

Violation -


lyrics Tejo Verstappen
music Hookerman

Coolin up
fallin down
behave in every stormy situation
getting in
driving out
ooh what a  shame to sink in dusty violation
turn to left
turn to right
forget about your struggles and frustration
COULD BE RIGHT
COULD BE WRONG
I GOT THE recipe to bring you good vibration

here we go
bridge:
Even when it can be hard to fallin down
try to clever up your mind and frown
the devil s on its way to catch
and searching for a perfect match…
