Zing gezellig met ons mee tijdens de Braderie van Oers

MEET YOU DOWNSTAIRS 
IN THE BAR AND HURT
YOUR ROLLED UP SLEEVES 
IN YOUR SKULL T-SHIRT

YOU SAY "WHAT DID YOU DO 
WITH HIM TODAY?"
AND SNIFFED ME OUT 
LIKE I WAS TANQUERAY

'CAUSE YOU'RE MY FELLA MY GUY
HAND ME YOUR STELLA AND FLY
BY THE TIME I'M OUT THE DOOR
YOU TEAR MEN DOWN 
LIKE ROGER MOORE


I CHEATED MYSELF
LIKE I KNEW I WOULD
I TOLD YOU I WAS TROUBLE
YOU KNOW THAT I'M NO GOOD


UPSTAIRS IN BED
WITH MY EX BOY
HE'S IN A PLACE 
BUT I CAN'T GET JOY

THINKING ON YOU 
IN THE FINAL THROWS
THIS IS WHEN 
MY BUZZER GOES

RUN OUT TO MEET YOU 
CHIPS AND PITTA
YOU SAY, "WHEN WE'RE MARRIED"
'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT BITTER

"THERE'LL BE NONE OF HIM NO MORE"
I CRIED FOR YOU 
ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR

I CHEATED MYSELF
LIKE I KNEW I WOULD
I TOLD YOU I WAS TROUBLE
YOU KNOW THAT I'M NO GOOD

SWEET REUNION 
JAMAICA AND SPAIN
WE'RE LIKE HOW 
WE WERE AGAIN
I'M IN THE TUB 
YOU ON THE SEAT
LICK YOUR LIPS 
AS I SOAK MY FEET

THEN YOU NOTICE 
LITTLE CARPET BURNS
MY STOMACH DROPS 
AND MY GUTS CHURN

YOU SHRUG 
AND IT'S THE WORST
WHO TRULY STUCK 
THE KNIFE IN FIRST


I CHEATED MYSELF
LIKE I KNEW I WOULD
I TOLD YOU I WAS TROUBLE
YOU KNOW THAT I'M NO GOOD

I CHEATED MYSELF
LIKE I KNEW I WOULD
I TOLD YOU I WAS TROUBLE
YOU KNOW THAT I’M NO GOOD
YOU KNOW THAT I'M NO GOOD

TUMBLE OUTTA BED
AND I STUMBLE TO THE KITCHEN 
POUR MYSELF
A CUP OF AMBITION
AND YAWN AND STRETCH
AND TRY TO COME TO LIFE

JUMP IN THE SHOWER
AND THE BLOOD STARTS PUMPIN' 
OUT ON THE STREET
THE TRAFFIC STARTS JUMPIN' 
WITH FOLKS LIKE ME
ON THE JOB FROM 9 TO 5

CHIQUITITA
TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG
YOU'RE ENCHAINED
BY YOUR OWN SORROW
IN YOUR EYES
THERE IS NO HOPE FOR TOMORROW

I CAN SEE THAT YOU'RE OH 
SO SAD, SO QUIET

CHIQUITITA
TELL ME THE TRUTH
I'M A SHOULDER YOU CAN CRY ON

BUT THE SUN IS STILL IN THE SKY
AND SHINING ABOVE YOU

SPRING WAS NEVER WAITING FOR US, DEAR
IT RAN ONE STEP AHEAD
AS WE FOLLOWED IN THE DANCE


MACARTHUR'S PARK IS MELTING IN THE DARK
ALL THE SWEET, GREEN ICING FLOWING DOWN
SOMEONE LEFT THE CAKE OUT IN THE RAIN
I DON'T THINK THAT I CAN TAKE IT
'CAUSE IT TOOK SO LONG TO BAKE IT
AND I'LL NEVER HAVE THAT RECIPE AGAIN
OH, NO

I RECALL THE YELLOW COTTON DRESS
FOAMING LIKE A WAVE
ON THE GROUND BENEATH YOUR KNEES
THE BIRDS, LIKE TENDER BABIES IN YOUR HANDS
AND THE OLD MEN PLAYING
CHINESE CHECKERS BY THE TREES

MACARTHUR'S PARK IS MELTING IN THE DARK
ALL THE SWEET, GREEN ICING FLOWING DOWN
SOMEONE LEFT THE CAKE OUT IN THE RAIN
I DON'T THINK THAT I CAN TAKE IT
'CAUSE IT TOOK SO LONG TO BAKE IT
AND I'LL NEVER HAVE THAT RECIPE AGAIN
OH, NO

MACARTHUR'S PARK IS MELTING IN THE DARK
ALL THE SWEET, GREEN ICING FLOWING DOWN
SOMEONE LEFT MY CAKE OUT IN THE RAIN
AND I DON'T THINK THAT I CAN TAKE IT
'CAUSE IT TOOK SO LONG TO BAKE IT
AND I'LL NEVER HAVE THAT RECIPE AGAIN
OH, NO, OH

MY BABY'S ALWAYS DANCIN'
AND IT WOULDN'T BE A BAD THING
BUT I DON'T GET NO LOVING
AND THAT’S NO LIE

WE SPENT THE NIGHT IN FRISCO
AT EVERY KIND OF DISCO
AND FROM THAT NIGHT
I KISSED OUR LOVE GOODBYE

DON'T BLAME IT ON THE SUNSHINE
DON'T BLAME IT ON THE MOONLIGHT
DON'T BLAME IT ON THE GOOD TIMES
BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE

DON'T BLAME IT ON THE SUNSHINE
DON'T BLAME IT ON THE MOONLIGHT
DON'T BLAME IT ON THE GOOD TIMES
BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE

THE NASTY BOOGIE BUGS ME
BUT SOMEHOW IT HAS DRUGGED ME
SPELLBOUND RHYTHM GET ME
ON MY FEET
I'VE CHANGED MY LIFE COMPLETELY
I'VE SEEN THE LIGHTNING LEAVE ME
MY BABY JUST CAN'T TAKE HER EYES OFF ME

DON'T BLAME IT ON THE SUNSHINE
DON'T BLAME IT ON THE MOONLIGHT
DON'T BLAME IT ON THE GOOD TIMES
BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE

DON'T BLAME IT ON THE SUNSHINE
DON'T BLAME IT ON THE MOONLIGHT
DON'T BLAME IT ON THE GOOD TIMES
BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE

LOOKING BACK ON WHEN I
WAS A LITTLE NAPPY HEADED BOY
THEN MY ONLY WORRY
WAS FOR CHRISTMAS
WHAT WOULD BE MY TOY

EVEN THOUGH WE SOMETIMES
WOULD NOT GET A THING
WE WERE HAPPY WITH THE
JOY THE DAY WOULD BRING

SNEAKING OUT THE BACK DOOR
TO HANG OUT
WITH THOSE HOODLUM FRIENDS OF MINE
GREETED AT THE BACK DOOR
WITH BOY THOUGHT I TOLD YOU
NOT TO GO OUTSIDE

TRYIN YOUR BEST TO BRING
THE WATER TO YOUR EYES
THINKIN IT MIGHT STOP HER
FROM WOOPIN YOUR BEHIND

I WISH THOSE DAYS
COULD COME BACK ONCE MORE
WHY DID THOSE DAYS
EV-ER HAVE TO GO

I WISH THOSE DAYS
COULD COME BACK ONCE MORE
WHY DID THOSE DAYS
EV-ER HAVE TO GO
CAUSE I LOVE THEM SO

ROLLIN' ON THE RIVER
ROLLIN', ROLLIN'
ROLLIN' ON THE RIVER

GIVE UP TOOT TOOT TOOT
TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT
TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT

CLEANED A LOT OF PLATES IN MEMPHIS
AND I POPPED A LOT OFF TANE
DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS
BUT I NEVER SAW THE GOOD SIDE OF A CITY
'TIL I HITCHED A RIDE
ON THE RIVERBOAT QUEEN


BIG WHEEL KEEP ON TURNIN'
PROUD MARY KEEP ON BURNIN'
ROLLIN', ROLLIN' YEAH
ROLLIN' ON THE RIVER
ROLLIN', ROLLIN'
ROLLIN' ON THE RIVER

GIVE UP TOOT TOOT TOOT
TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT
TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT

IF YOU COME DOWN TO THE RIVER
BET YOU'RE GONNA FIND SOME PEOPLE WHO LIVE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
IF YOU HAVE NO MONEY
PEOPLE ON THE RIVER ARE HAPPY TO GIVE

BIG WHEEL KEEP ON TURNIN'
PROUD MARY KEEP ON BURNIN'
ROLLIN', ROLLIN' YEAH
ROLLIN' ON THE RIVER
ROLLIN', ROLLIN'
ROLLIN' ON THE RIVER

GIVE UP TOOT TOOT TOOT
TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT
TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT

ROLLIN', ROLLIN' YEAH
ROLLIN' ON THE RIVER
ROLLIN', ROLLIN'
ROLLIN' ON THE RIVER
ROLLIN' ON THE RIVER
