Teksten met hoofdletter T
Michiel heeft het over de top honderd van beste songteksten, zoals samengesteld door VH1. U2 gaat met de eer strijken met het even briljante als sentimentele One.
One life, with each other, sisters, brothers
Mijn suggesties? Nou, bijvoorbeeld
Zou je niettegenstaande de recente gebeurtenissen toch een amoureus verblijf in overweging willen nemen alsjeblieft
(Tröckener Kecks)
And you’ve been so busy lately
That you haven’t found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
(Out of Time – Blur)
Ja Rosie hat ein Telefon
auch ich hab’ ihre Nummer schon.
Unter 32-16-8
herrscht Konjunktur die ganze Nacht.
(Skandal im Sperrbezirk – Spider Murphy Gang)
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know nobody can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm gun mama
(Happiness is a warm gun – Beatles)
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me! Hit me!
Das ist gut! C’est fantastique!
Hit me! hit me! hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
It’s nice to be a lunatic.
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
(Hit me with your rhythm stick – Ian Dury)
En nog duizend anderen…;) En welke teksten vind jij mooi?

When you’re a famous boy, it gets really easy to get girls,
It’s all so easy you get a bit spoilt.
So, when you try to pull a girl, who is also famous too,
It feels just like when you wasn’t famous.
(When You Wasn’t Famous – The Streets)
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge,
she studied sculpture at Saint Martin’s College,
that’s where I,
caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded,
I said “In that case I’ll have a rum and coca-cola.”
She said “Fine.”
and in thirty seconds time she said,
“I want to live like common people,
I want to do whatever common people do,
I want to sleep with common people,
I want to sleep with common people,
like you.”
Maar ook de rest van het liedje
Owja, van Pulp dus, Common People.
Een aantal teksten die ik vroeger op mijn schooltas had gekalkt:
_”Heaven is waiting and waiting is hell”_
Van IQ, geloof ik (sympho periode, he)
_”And I’ll tell you things you already know, so you can say ‘I really identify with you, so much’”_
Uit Liar van Henry Rollins. Ook leuk.
Maar elke tekst van Bowie of Radiohead werkt ook, bij mij.
The Divine Comedy: If
If you were the road
I’d go all the way
If you were the night
I’d sleep in the day
If you were the day
I’d cry in the night
‘Cause you are the way
The truth and the light
If you were a tree
I could put my arms around you
And you could not complain
If you were a tree
I could carve my name into your side
And you would not cry,
‘Cos trees don’t cry
If you were a man
I would still love you
If you were a drink
I’d drink my fill of you
If you were attacked
I would kill for you
If your name was Jack
I’d change mine to Jill for you
If you were a horse
I’d clean the crap out of your stable
And never once complain
If you were a horse
I could ride you through the fields at dawn
Through the day until the day was gone
I could sing about you in my songs
As we rode away into the setting sun
If you were my little girl
I would find it hard to let you go
If you were my sister
I would find it doubly so
If you were a dog
I’d feed you scraps from off the table
Though my wife complains
If you were my dog
I am sure you’d like it better
Then you’d be my loyal four legged friend
You’d never have to think again
And we could be together till the end
If we all take the backseat, who’s gonna drive?
Dead Moon – Psychodelic Nightmare
De beginregels van ´Deathly´ van Aimee Mann:
Now that Ive met you
Would you object to
Never seeing each other again
en de rest van het nummer!

Ohhhhhh ouuuuu
Ahhhhhh ouuuuu
Ohhhhhh ouuuuu
Ohhhhhh ouuuuu
The Scientist – Coldplay
Ik ben van de vrolijke teksten. Een zinnetje dat ik prachtig blijf vinden komt uit Thin Lizzy’s “Still in love with you”:
“I think I’ll fall to pieces, if I don’t find something else to do”
Dat alles in het kader van ‘het kan altijd nóg slechter’…
Goed gevonden, zoals zoveel van zijn teksten:
I asked you in cause I wanna fuck
I asked you out cause I was hungry
but now I’m basically just tired
you don’t have to leave.
you can stay here
after all, this is still a love song
Beautiful Trees – Dan Bern
