Anouk Album

It's funny how I blind myself so I don't have to see
They're taking me down and bringing me to my knees
Letting me know I'm alone
Not afraid to die nomore
The house above
Heaven won't you pick me up now
Love all I needed was love
Someone give me some love
I guess it's only meant for some of us

Life has made me loose my mind
I'm not doing all right these days
Lying naked on my kitchen floor
So cold well I thought I had a lion's heart
I guess it was wrong
I feel so damn lonely

Love all I needed was some love
Could someone give me some sweet loving
Cause this is more than I can bear
My nights are getting darker as time goes by
How I've tried to keep these walls from falling down

spot lion theme

The songs of the world escape me
The moment you crack
Now you driving
Down the highway of regret

Your a victim
Of your rapids eye
Promises broken
Yeah
Your that restless kind

Only you, only you can stop this
Stop this from pulling us under
Baby, no one can do this but you

Blue dreams about you
My eyes wide open
You think you lost it
My heart for you
The sfeer of you're not being here with me
Were moving slowmotion
I stop and rewind
Back to better times

Only you, only you can stop this
Stop this from pulling us under
Baby, no one can do this but you

Only you oooh

I close my eyes
And imagine you're here
Did it all seem so hopeless
Given the chance
I would ask
Forgive me
I didn't do a thing to make you stay
I didn't say a word to make you stay
If I would have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I didn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word

And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, you're a star in heaven

My thoughts unsaid
Stuck in my head
And it all feels so useless
Never forget to give all I have
Forgive me
I couldn't do a thing to make you stay
And I couldn't say a word to make you stay
If I could have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I couldn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word

And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, yeah you're a star in heaven

Still I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, you're a star in heaven
You're a star in heaven now
You're a star in heaven

Oh, some things are better left unsaid
You'll find a nice place to hide them
But days like this
There is just too much going on, yeah

So I'm picking up the pieces of my past
But I can't find no peace at all
So in other words
I am so ready to be found

So I'll try and I might
Stand up and fight
To leave this place someday
All I need is that moment
To make me believe that you're alive
And then I'll be alright, alright

Paradise grown cold
One hand on my door
Way too high hopes
I can't tell right from wrong
Show me how it's done
Lord I need to be saved
And then I'll be alright, alright yeah

Oh yeah, on days like these
There is just too much going on
So I try and I might
Stand up and fight
To leave this place someday
All I need is this moment
To make me believe that you're alive
And then I'll be alright

Paradise grown cold
One hand on my door
Way too high hopes
I can't tell right from wrong
Show me how it's done
Lord I need to be saved
And then I'll be alright
And then I'll be alright
And then I'll be alright
And then I'll be alright

What about those songs you sang my love
Were they meant for her
And all those words you never said before

What about those kisses in my sleep
Were they meant for her
Tomorrow will be fine
Yeah just a little while
Oh no this ain't no way to live
ґCause I will be

Watching every step, scared I won't find you again
ґCause if I leave you by yourself then you can hide away
I'll be watching every step, scared I won't find you again
ґCause if I leave you by yourself, yeah

What about that bracelet in your car
Was it meant for her
I am more than you deserve
Tomorrow will be fine
Oh no this ain't no way to live
ґCause I will be

Watching every step, scared I won't find you again
ґCause if I leave you by yourself then you can hide away
I'll be watching every step, scared I won't find you again
ґCause if I leave you by yourself, yeah
ґCause if I leave you by yourself, yeah

Why couldn't you just lie, suicide
Why couldn't you just lie

Watching every step, scared I won't find you again
ґCause if I leave you by yourself then you can hide away
I'll be watching every step, scared I won't find you again
ґCause if I leave you by yourself

Don't you waste my time, suicide, suicide
Don't you waste my time, suicide yeah
I am more than you deserve
I am more than you deserve

Music & Lyrics: A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen

No hurry, I'll be waiting for you My baby,
now don't you worry
I'll be fine

Just take your time
To make up your mind
Draw a line
Or flip a dime
Waiting for you

It's easy,
if you want to please me
Don't tell me maybe
Come back home complete me

No strings attached
That's a promise I can't keep
So I waste my time
With lazy crazy dreaming
A sparkling wine
A twist of lime
A whisky soda, hole in time
When you're not here

Don't say you're sorry
Don't say it
No

Music & lyrics: A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen

Sure got my piece of heaven
An angel in disguise
Gone wild

But I thought you were a man
Who knew right from wrong
That's why I really don't understand
Why he's with her

It's killing me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Laughs with you, can she,
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that I don't have

I tried to call him
Anytime anywhere
But he's never there

So I went to his place
And waited all day
So he would explain it to me
And this is what he said:

There is nothing left to say
I had my fill, I went away
Your crying eyes won't change a thing
It was just a fling

Well how could an angel break my heart
He said: We could still be friends

Are you kidding me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Talks to you, can she
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that i don't have

But twice every year
When he's in tears
When he loses his mind
And can't help but cry
He'll call me and then

Relationship lost on a stormy sea
I hold on to you
Just hold on to me
When the lighting strikes
You hear the thunder roaring
And you don't know how long
This will go on

But I know I still love you
And I know you still care
So keep on tryinґwhen you're sure you still love me

I don't know much
But I know how to love you
Doesn't that mean anything
I don't know much
But I know how to love you

A sea of love
Don't let it drown us
We're way too far from shore
As we go deeper
As the wind grows stronger
It tries to tip us over
But we both learned how to swim
So let's just go on

ґCause I know I still love you
And I know you still care
So keep on tryinґwhen you're sure you still love me

I don't know much
But I know how to love you
Doesn't that mean anything
I don't know much
But I know how to love you

Yeah I know I still love you
And I know you still care

I don't know much
But I know how to love you, yeah
Doesn't that mean anything
I don't know much
But I know how to love you

And that's all I need to know
Yeah that's all I need to know babe
Oh that's all I need to know
That's all I need to know

Who's the one that makes you happy
Who's the one that always makes you laugh
Who's the reason you're smiling
And dragged you through these time, so rough
I was the one that made you happy
I was the one that eased the pain
But I'm the reason that you're crying now
My own tears scattered by the rain

You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna be

Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby
You shared your wildest dreams and more
You dare me to express my feelings to you
I never felt that need before

But suddenly you needed freedom
You felt the need to break free
You started drowning in your sorrow
You didn't wanna know I had the key

You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna to be

You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me
You can be who you wanna

[No lyrics]

Did you ever wake up in the morning
with a freight-train running trough your head
an empty whiskey bottle by your pillow
and a burnend out unfinished cigarette
the night went up in smoke
life is but a joke man
but I see nobody laughing
did you ever live a day,
like the next day would never come
blood's dripping on the floor, but who cares
who needs you anyway
you're a stranger to yourself
and this ain't no joke, man
but I can't stop laughing

(chorus)
greedy, angry people make me
run around in circles backwards
down the lonely road that keeps me
run around in circles

how I want to try again
excuse me can you lead me
I just want to try again

You ask me what is on my mind
you notice there's a change
there's something different
different in the way I look at you today
you see I have been alone for so long baby
now I cannot explain
I must be completely out of my mind
to ever take the change
I ain't got no trouble still I worry
that I might have to lose you
see i've been alone for so long baby

(chorus)

now I cannot explain, I've been alone for so long
I took the chance to lose you
no I must be insane, I've been alone for so long
I'm not gonna lose you

I never ever really tried
I never had the strength
but now I got you, I got you by my side
I'm gonna make this work
you see I've been alone for so long baby

(chorus)

All the things I've done when I was alone I can't understand myself
it's amazing, you amaze me
but my life begins with the songs I sing and the love you bring to me

I've got time to think about
the things you think about when
you've got time to spare
wonder why we're here
I wonder when or where it might go wrong
I wonder why I went along with you
why I forgot to think
forgot to think it through now

I wonder why I
I wonder why

(chorus)
you go on pushing yourself
you keep on fooling yourself
you don't know why, you don't know
you don't know how, you just don't know
you keep on, I keep on fooling myself

there's a time and place for everything
a time to act, a time to dream
there's time to wait
but no time to waste, no

I wonder why I
I wonder why

Music & lyrics: Anouk Teeuwe / Bart van Veen

I'm walking in the park
And I'm talking to the dark
But there ain't nobody listening
My heart has turned to stone
When I found myself alone
Now all I do is whisper to the dark

There's only so much you can take
You've gotta to give yourself a break
But I don't think you're listening
If you're gonna take it all so hard
You gonna tear yourself apart
I can understand you miss him in the dark

Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50pm train to the city
Yeah, I had a chance for romance so I do it again now

If love is no longer being served
You've got to leave the table
Mister aznavour told me, merci beaucoup
Though I miss him, got to let go
Though I miss him, got to let go
Let it go

It's about that time to leave it all behind you
You don't want to but life is passing by you
The hard knocks, got you twisted like dreadlocks
Catalogue your dark and set some new marks
I understand your body's filled with hesitation
Trust me it's gonna be a whole new situation
Turn this page I guess you know what to do
Rise up like phoenix I'm bringing out the beauty in you

Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50pm train to the city

Now I believe that what I used to think was a lie
Is really alive
Now I can see there's only one place to reach
Only one thing to preach and that's the highest
It's the strangest thing that I can feel so much
There is no reason, there is no logic to feelings
'Cause when love is the dealer I'm addicted
So fascinated, I can't stop this constant craving
You're contagious
It's the strangest thing that I can feel so much
For someone, somehow (2x)

(chorus)

And I cannot hide, even if I'd try
You mean everything to me
Any fool can see, what you've done to me
You mean everything to me
And when you're not here, I just cry
And when you're not here, I could die

The best is still to come dear
The best is still to come for us (2x)

It's the strangest thing that I can feel so much
For someone, somehow (2x)

They say that sometimes
you've got to pick up arms and fight
for what you believe is right
some say
that's just not the way
you will only make things worse

so I close my eyes and turn my head away
and I hope it'll be all right
fall into a restless sleep
while so many innocent die
that's why I sing

(chorus)
hail to all of us
hail to all of us down here (2x)

maybe someday soon
when we've tought things over
we'll know what to do
but probably
there's a much bigger chance, you see
that it will all be gone

so I close my eyes and turn my head away
and just hope it'll be all right
fall into a restless sleep
while so many others die
that's why I sing

(chorus 2x)

New York City, London, Jericho
Jerusalem, Sydney, anywhere you wanna go
Capetown, to the moon and back again

I am looking for answers to questions never posed
I haven't god a clue, I'm living like a ghost
Can't seem to read the signs
I'm swimming in the sand, I'm searching
I hold on to my reasons, I'll hold on to my dreams
It's all good and bad advice 'cause you have choose
One friend says (to) go ahead, another one says don't
I'm searching

Whatever I try I can't find it
Wherever I roam it's all gone

No you can't find it, first you gotta to lose it

Looking for an angle to change my point of view
Waiting for somebody, someone to relate to
Hoping for forgiveness, living for love
I'm searching

Yearning for a teacher, to show us what to do
Learning from failure, is all that I can do
Working on solutions, a fiction of truth

Sir can you tell me how to get to Jerusalem
'Cause I have kinda lost my way
Sir will you help me get there as fast as I can
Tomorrow might be too late

'Cause things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
People always tellin' me how sweet and simple life could be
They say you might as well live before you die

But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole

Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem, yeah

It took me quite a while to get into Jerusalem
ґCause I had kinda lost my way
I want to save me from myself so here I am
I hope it's not too late

ґCause things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I am so afraid to love
ґCause of the way I've been hurt before
I think by now it's time for me to leave

But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole

Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost

Things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I don't wanna die this way
Wishing that I could turn back time
Wasted time, there is work to be done

But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole

Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost, yeah yeah
Alright

You tell me that you need to spend sometime alone
you tell me that you think it's best if i'd go home now
I get my coat from off the floor, I'm out the door
walking home alone, my love has left
(chorus)
my head, my heart all torn apart
my minds exploding
crying my eyes out over you

it must be hard for you to believe that I might love you
just try to understand I just want you to want me too
you made me fall in love again, you angel
how you take my breath away, I live for you

(chorus)

it must be hard for you to believe that I might love you anyway
just try to understand I just wanted you to want me too

(chorus)

Music & lyrics: Anouk Teeuwe / Bart van Veen

Hey Michel how's life are you ok
I wonder if you ever think of me
It's been 9 years since that kiss
I can help but reminisce
Hey Michel do you remember

We walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be

Now it's you and her I see

You were my first and worst love
And so it only could go wrong
But ain't that just the way you learn
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know
That someone else has stolen my heart
And now another girl has caught your eye
That doesn't mean I don't think of you
I am just hoping that she'll treat you right

Do you remember
How we walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand and you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be

Now it is you and her I see

It was just a silly dream

I'm watching your shadow cut by the moon
Peaceful I wait for the dawn
These moments in silence are all that I need
The softness of hearing you breathe

And I know it doesn't get better than this
Funny it starts with just one little kiss

Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love

Your ups and your downs, powers and fears
Your presence fulfils my desire
You're all that I've wished for
You're more than I need, you're right where I wanna be

Oh no, I don't ask questions or try to explain
Telling myself it just happens this way

Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love

I don't ask questions or try to explain
Telling myself it just happens this way

Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone

Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone

Baby all I know you're no longer alone
Baby all I know you're no longer alone

Graduated fool, that is what I am
for every time I failed you
you're so beautiful, I just turned and walked away
I jingle with words, tangle my tongue
stammering stutters
so I wrote you this song, to finally tell you
what you've know all along, I love you
believe in me, believe me

it was true devotion, now these mixed emotions
oh, I did it again
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
we'll be laughing again
believe in me

graduated fool, i'm better than I am
for that is what you made me
please, hold back your tears
I didn't deserve you anyway
believe in me, I still care for you, believe me
just believe in me. believe me

when I kiss you face again, all these mixed emotions
of pleasure and pain
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
we'll be laughing again

believe in me, you're so beautiful, believe me

I'm just thinkin' about the child in me,
That I sometimes feel inside
And I'm figuring out just what it is
That makes me feel so small
Is it you, that hurts me when I give myself
Every day and every night
Am I too blind to see that it doesn't work out
Did I really ask too much of you baby
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say

It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard

As I search for an answer, I see the clear blue sky
And I know that you're the one to blame
And I feel so naïve
When you say that our love to you was just a game
I dream, my dream, I'm sane, I'm insane
Oh, please don't, please don't speak to me that way
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say

It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard
Damned it's so hard, why you're so hard

I'm sorry for the times that I made you scream
for the times that I killed your dreams
for the times that I made your whole world rumble
for the times that I made you cry
for the times that I told you lies
for the times that I watched and let you stumble

It's too bad, but that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, 'cause I, I'll never be nobody's wife

I'm sorry for the times that I didn't come home
left you lyin' in that bed alone
was flyin' high in the sky when you needed my shoulder

you're like a stone hangin' round my neck, see
cut it loose before it breaks my back, see
I've gotta say what I feel before I grow older

I'm sorry but I ain't gonna change my ways
you know I've tried but I'm still the same
I've got to do it my own way

It's too bad, but hey, that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife

It's too bad, but hey, that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life

I have drunk virginia water
I have dug my own gravesend
set my foot ashore in new port
travelled far beyond my landsend
and home is in my head
I have dived into a blackpool
with a maidstone around my neck
I just drifted into the southsea
with no hull beyond my deck

and home is in my head
well I have lost a wheel in barrow
try to cross the no one cambridge
when my liverpool grey shallow

Girl girl girl
When I hear him talk
Ooh my mind gets blocked girl

Speak up 'cause my jaw is locked
Which is good, good for me girl
It hides like a warning sign
But I'm too blind to see

Speak up yes I'm coming down
With an ice cold fever
Ice cold fever
Ice cold fever

Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No I don't know where I belong
Could I belong

Girl girl girl
Get it while it's hot they say
You see I'm burning up here
I want to but I just can't stop
And it hurts
It hurts like hell girl

You turn me inside out and upside down
Ooh you got me head over heels
I'm stuck
Yes I'm coming down with an ice cold fever
Ice cold fever
Ice cold fever, aha

Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No I don't know where I belong
Could I belong
Could I belong

Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No I don't know where I belong
Could I belong
Oh girl, yeah I belong

To you, you, you
To you, yeah you
To you, you, you
To you, yeah you

To you, you, you
Yeah I belong to you
Say you yeah you
Could I belong to you
Alright

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

If roses are meant to be red
And violets to be blue
Why isn't my heart meant for you

My hands longing to touch you
But I can barely breathe
Starry eyes that make me melt
Right in front of me

Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found

This music's irresistible
Your voice makes my skin crawl
Innocent and pure
I guess you heard it all before

Mister Inaccessible
Will this ever change
One thing that remains the same
You're still a picture in a frame

Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found

I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
That's where I'll be found
Yeah yeah

I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
Am I the only one
