Sweet d'Buster Back On Stage - Songteksten
Op deze pagina vind je songteksten van de vier Sweet d'Buster-albums in alfabetische volgorde.
Angel (B. Borgers - H. Deinum)
album: Friction (1978)
I've ripped my favourite trousers
you've stitched them too tight
I need them tomorrow
can you fix them tonight
Sure feels good
to be back home again
I look like a Hobo
but I'm still your loving man
I can't make it by myself
and I don't want nobody else I know that I promised you
to be back yesterday
but the car broke down in Paris
and we had to stay
Now I'm hungry
couldn't catch no sleep
How I do like to be with you
between your satin sheets
I can't make it by myself
Angel, I don't want nobody else When you get out in this world
of glass and stone
I'll fight my way through the hassles
and try to keep on going on
Sometimes I lose, and I need someone
to hold on to
A man is small when he stands alone
A man is small when he stands alone

Can't Buy Me Love (Lennon - McCartney)
album: Friction (1978)
I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend
if it makes you feel allright
I'll get you anything
if it makes you feel allright
Cause I don't care for money
money can't buy me love I'll give you all I've got to give
if you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
but what I've got I'll give to you
For I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love Can't buy me love - everybody told me so
Can't buy me love - no, no, no. Say you need no diamond ring
and I am satisfied
Tell me that you want those kind of things
money never ever can't buy
for I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love

Bread (B. Borgers - A. Bogaart)
albums: Sweet d'Buster (1976)/Gigs (1979)
Bread - it seems to be so hard to get
Bread - it's taking me lots of sweat
so if you're hungry - don't waste no time laying on your bed
bread - turns out so hard to get love - seems to be so hard to make
once it's got a hold on you it just won't give you no break
and you may have to give - much more than you ever can take
love - turns out so hard to make peace - seems to be so hard to reach
you keep on telling that you're not to blame
don't get upset - don't you feel ashamed
love - peace - bread - turn out so hard to get

Can't Decide (B. Borgers)
album: Shot Into The Blue (1979)
Baby what I've got - I just don't know
But it's coocking inside - and I've gotta show
it makes me restless - but I don't care
there's a storm coming up - I sense it everywhere
what you do to me is plain to see
just skin to skin it's in and out and in again
this side of love I know so well
But what a girl can bring it's hard to tell
I can't decide - is it wrong or right
Shall I run or fight - I can't decide What I'm gonna do - I cannot foresee
But what you got - sure got a hook on me
Feel naked like a baby - gotta keep control
I don't wanna be a bird in a cage goldfish in a bowl
what you do to me is plain to see
skin to skin, it's in, out and in again
this side of love I know so well
what a girl can bring it's so hard to tell
I can't decide - is it wrong or right
Shall I run or fight - I can't decide

Going Nowhere (B. Borgers - P. Smeenk)
albums: Sweet d'Buster (1976)/Gigs (1979)
Some write it on a paper - some write it on the wall
but I won't give no message - I won't even call
some say we have to change - some say we always do
some say it's far too late and no-one will get through
living like a gipsy - turn my head in the morning sun
like a nonstop movie - people pass and people come in the heart of the city
lights turn blue and the crowd moves on if I walk, if I run - I'm going nowhere While the poor man gets hungry - and the rich man gets bored
I close my book and I wonder what I'm living for
fools are playing guru - fakers playing rock 'n' roll
but I won't let nobody dump his junk right into my bowl
living like a gipsy - turn my head in the morning sun
like a nonstop movie - people pass and people come in the heart of the city
lights turn blue and the crowd moves on if I walk, if I run - I'm going nowhere

Hard Stone Jungle (B. Borgers - P. Smeenk)
album: Friction (1978)
I walk the streets, try to get what I need
high-heeled lady, she's driving me crazy
started to talk to her, she didn't answer
when the sun sets down, you'll find me
hanging around in
hard stone, hard stone
hard stone jungle
coming down on me In came a girl, who could've
changed my world
with eyes like diamonds
and a voice like a pearl
and I was sitting there
watching her steps
one by one by one
towards her favourite man
and I was alone again
hard stone, hard stone
hard stone jungle
coming down on me My glass refilled and I lit a joint
I hate to stay home no way to have fun
need someone to talk to
about the things I've done
before I became another mister no-one
hard stone, hard stone
hard stone jungle
coming down on me

I've Gotta Know (P. Smeenk - B. Borgers)
album: Friction (1978)
I've gotta know what it means when you say
that you love me
I've gotta know what it means when you say
it's me you're thinking of
Cause I need to have you close at hand
Can't live without you
Honey I ain't no distant friend
I'm your man You sit and smile, you hold the line
between you and me
you let loose and still control
my very soul Why do you keep me waiting like this
never ever knowing for sure
it ain't easy, take it like it is
need your loving more and more
need your loving more and more
need your loving
need your loving baby, need your loving now
need your loving baby, need your loving now Come on girl, give it a try
don't let this boy, just walk on by
you're undecided for too long
don't keep me hanging on

In The Evening (B. Borgers - H. Deinum)
album: Shot Into The Blue (1979)
In the morning - I'll go working - so much work to do
In the afternoon - I'm lazy - and all my friends are lazy too
But in the evening - yes in the evening
All I wanna do - I wanna be with you In the hot of the summer - I'm waiting for a breeze
When autumn leeves coming down, I'll find myself a place to sit at ease
Snowflakes blank and brandnew when wintertime is through
But in the evening - yes in the evening
All I wanna do - I wanna be with you
wanna be close to you

Is It True (B. Borgers - H. Deinum)
album: Shot Into The Blue (1979)
You stated your conception on your role on society
And captured in your beauty I considered what you said to me
Ain't no use explaning what you do or why you do it
You can't even move a stone unless you put your heart into it
Is it true - or is it fiction
Is this love - or perfect timing
the way you keep on running and hiding away from me I can track the homework you put in your excuse
you can trick a man until he feels he's being used
If you plan me to string along to add some color to your decoration
I'm gonna give your progressive manners a whole new explanation
Is it true - or is it fiction
Is this love - or perfect timing
the way you keep on running and hiding away from me
it's like you're dealing and trying to get it all for free
Alternative lady I don't mean maybe
Stop this running and hiding away from me

It Takes A Lot Of Time (To Let All People Know)
(R.J. Stips - H. Deinum)
albums: Friction (1978)/Gigs (1988)
It takes a lot of time
to let all people know
it takes a lot of soul
to keep this living going
it takes a lot of love
to keep that heart of gold
that you were born with

Magic Moment (B. Borgers - H. Lafaille)
album: Sweet d'Buster (1976)
Must have been early this morning
When I woke from a dream
I watch myself and I wonder
About a vision that I had seen Time slipping through my hands
Just like water flushing down the drain
Ever since that magic moment
Your finger touched my skin So I went out into the street
I wrapped my jacket tight around
Crossed the road to the busstop
To take a ride out of town Trash on the sidewalk and the bears in the sky
Everything is the same old song
Ever since that magic moment
You've been away too long, you've been away too long Days will go, seasons change
Green leaves, turn to brown
But early in the morning when I wake up
Wonder when you'll be around Fantasies just like pictures from the past
Are slowly fading into a dream
Ever since that magic moment
You came following me
I just can't get you out of my mind

Manja (H. Deinum - B. Borgers)
album: Gigs (1979)
What goes on inside - it ain't no use to tell
Everytime your name is called by someone else
I just walk my way - keep it to myself
Still wanna live with you Days are passing by - but the feeling stays
No-one comes inside to take your place
Cause you belong to me and it can't be no other way
Still wanna live with you
Still wanna share with you

Mean Woman (B. Borgers - P. Smeenk)
album: Shot Into The Blue (1979)
No marks to measure her by the words she says
My eyes walking over the clothes that she wears
And I catch myself that if I only could
I would've spent day and night out in her neighbourhood
She's so mean - but she looks so good As I follow her footsteps and checking out her tall tales
Everything everywhere is telling me I should be walking the other way
When I'd be strong yes if I only could
I would turn around but now I look
How she's messing over people, she just ain't no good Mother nature is fooling me I can tell with both eyes closed
just like my mother was telling me if you can't resist just let it go
let it go boy but stay aware
that when passion has gone you won't end up alone on the twilight zone

Minutes (Have Come To A Chain) (B. Borgers - W. van Hal)
album: Sweet d'Buster (1976)
Many reasons for a man to quit
But that's all schoolish logic
'Cause it just won't fit
Sweet grapes have grown bitter
Like I've never taste it before
But by every reason you gave me babe
I love you more and more I don't wanna live a life of a loner
It gets hot in misery
But I'm feeling out to lonesome
As I'm looking down from the balcony
Honey, now I'm awaiting
For a dream to come true
I'm awaiting
Just couldn't find out about you I've gotta stop fooling myself
'Cause deep down in my heart
I knew the truth so well
All the time you being in love with someone else
I was waiting
(Minutes have come to a chain)
Waiting
(Minutes in prison and pain)
You put your spell on me
strong enough to keep me waiting, yeah Baby you can push me
To the top of my limits
And you can crush me
Like a burglar with the heels of your snakeskin boots
I ain't talking about the promises
I'm talking about a pride
Talking about being lonely
In the black of the night And all my friends
They keep on talking about you
But they hush when I'm around
I had overhear the rumours that spin all over town
I was waiting
For a dream to come true
Waiting
Just couldn't find out about you I've gotta stop fooling myself
'Cause deep down in my heart
I knew the truth so well
All the time you being in love with someone else
I was waiting
(Minutes have come to a chain)
Waiting
(Minutes in prison and pain)
You put your spell on me
Strong enough to keep me waiting, yeah

Money Song (B. Borgers)
albums: Friction (1978)/Gigs (1979)
As I sit between the cowboys
I fit so well
They're trading images
but I can't buy what they sell Look through the smoke
As the music floats by
People come out the backroom
with a sparkle in their eye There's a difference
like a day from a night
Between a frown and a smile
and it just ain't right
it just ain't right
it just ain't right The helmet guys on the motorbikes
roar before take off
and the girls in the leather suits
look on tight to the man they love This rhythm is raging
and this place is right
to take a chance on gambling
'cause the stakes are high 'cause late at night
I can't sleep too well
there's a noise outside
just like a ringing bell
walking up to my window
looking out
it's the sound of money
money talks so loud I want money
to do what I wanna do
Like a bee needs honey
I need a treasure too

No More Cricket (R.J. Stips)
album: Gigs (1979)
No more cricket with a midget
if you can't tell the head from the ball, can you dig it
it's so mean, yes I've seen
I can only win a game from a sweet-sixteener
it's so easy you don't have to be smart
you just pick up and break another lonely heart
why don't you whack the ball back at me
you make me hunt like a tiger but I only catch a flea I'm a monster, can't you see - behind that smile there's a beast in me
when I play my cricket - so wicked
just give me a sign you don't need no ticket
for a fair game, tonite - you say everything's gonna be allright (when it's me)
I'm on your side, you're on mine - we'll tame the tiger right on time, tonite Are you ready, stand by - we don't have to fake it, we're one of a kind
see it's more fun to complete - for you I'd go through a little defeat
in a fair game, tonite, say everything's gonna be allright (when it's)
me on your side, you're on mine - let's tame the tiger right on time tonight

One Way Or Another (B. Borgers - W. van Hal)
album: Sweet d'Buster (1976)
Hé Hallo!
Sweet d'Buster, Sweet d'Buster
Sweet d'Buster, Sweet d'Buster
Houdoe! If I were to say the truth
About the love I held for you
My tongue would stumble
My heart would jump
And I'll be misunderstood And I've been trying to write it down
Through my pencil on the ground
So, to wait for no letter to come
Here I am, and I stick around Like I told you
(One way or another)
I'm gonna hold you
(One way or another)
And unfold you
(One way or another)
There ain't no other way, no other way I can feel a crazy rhythm
Walking up and down my spine
And I tell you all my secrets
If you tell me that you're be mine All the tales in the whole wide world
I read it in your eyes, babe
And I've been travelling a 400 miles
To hear you talk, to see you smile Like I told you
(One way or another)
I'm gonna hold you
(One way or another)
And unfold you
(One way or another)
There ain't no other way, no other way And I've been trying to write it down
Through my pencil on the ground
So, to wait for no letter to come
Here I am, and I stick around Like I told you
(One way or another)
I'm gonna hold you
(One way or another)
And unfold you
(One way or another)
There ain't no other way, no other way

Ready For Love (Holland - Dozier - Holland)
album: Sweet d'Buster (1976)
As I stand alone on this moonfull night
For the first time I feel alone in life
As I watch the moon, kiss the starlit sky
I feel the need for your lips to press close to mine
For so long I 've been afraid to love
But right now I can feel the need for love
And only you, you had the love
The love I need to go for me, baby I'm ready for love
Ready for love
You wonderful sweet sweet love
I'm ready I'm ready Something wonderful has come over me
I feel this heart of mine, ecstasy
And then I finally open up my eyes
To push the fear, the fear of love aside
And for the first time I feel alive
To help affect your love deep down inside
And just as soon as I see your smiling face
I'm rushing to, I'm rushing to your warm embrace, baby I'm ready for love
Ready for love
You wonderful sweet sweet love
I'm ready I'm ready

Rittum Of Your Soul (B. Borgers - J. Pistoor - P. v.d. Linden)
album: Shot Into The Blue (1979)
When you wanna play it rough - be tough
when you wanna play it cool - don't move
and when you play to win, you might have to start all over again
when the world knocks you down
you put your feet back on the ground When you wanna hear the truth - better be good
to a friend that never lies - or cheats on you
and when you really wanna know - from where we came
and whereto we go
Take your time to lend an ear
to the rhythm of your soul Many ways to get to heaven
many traps to lead you astray
Many roads you must walk on
Until there's only room for your very own way Listen to the rhythm of - rhythm of rhythm of your soul

Smash The Mirror (R.J. Stips - A. Link)
albums: Friction (1978)/Gigs (1979)
Would you like to swing on a falling star
his rusty strings sound so bizarre
you can hear them cry
you can hear them wonder why
why it ever had to come this far Long ago, that's where the story starts
you followed the leads coming straight
from your heart
climbed all the way up
to settle down
no more guts for another round
while your heart still felt the same Are you still sad with that mask you wear
how would you feel if it wasn't there
I see you do mind about your make-up
you better make your mind up, now
now your heart still feels the same See him ravin' like a mad man
looking for the last spark in his soul
in the eyes of the public reflects
he's gaining weight and loosing control
even a king like Elvis
couldn't smash this mirror apart
couldn't smash the mirror
and make a new start

Still Believe (P. Smeenk - B. Borgers)
albums: Friction (1978)/Gigs (1979)
You make me feel,
like I've drawn a losers card
each time you walk out on me,
I'm left with a broken heart
It ain't my way to quit,
'cause I came to win
I may have run out of luck,
but I will come back again
I won't stop trying
'cause I still believe that I can win
I still believe that I can win
your love Dreamwish, all I want is you
yeah boy don't you know
that all of your dreams come true
but wherever I'll go
or whatever I'll do
leads me back to you Intercity train rolling down the line
rolling through the hazy landscape
of wintertime
another station another sign I'll have some more cigarettes
just to kill the time
I won't stop trying
can't give up
'cause I still believe that I can win
I still believe that I can win
your love

Stir Up The Fire (B. Borgers - R.J. Stips - H. Lafaille)
albums: Friction (1978)/Gigs (1988)
Reading the paper, this world is on fire
but it ain't nothing to my burning desire
The frontpage with the headlines
and the figures in the financial news
everything's an alibi, for your mind
is stuck on you Biking up and down, as I look around
people walk so sad with their eyes
on the ground
But I'm not gonna run blind-eyed
bump my head on the wall
if you throw me some changes
I'm gonna catch them all Twentyfour hours a day
need your loving all the way
Don't let me stand in the cold
while I'm knocking to get inside your door
Stir up the fire
Stir up the fire

Summertime
album: Sweet d'Buster (1976)
Summertime
Is the right time
To move
When you're on your own Summertime
That's the right time
To pack your things
Go down the road If new company is what you go for
And you cannot wait another year
'Cause you know you won't find
What you're looking for
Stayin' here
Summertime Water is cool and the sun is high
Summertime
Lookin' up, no clouds in the sky
Summertime
Gentle breeze blowing through my mind
Cool time New company, that's what you go for
You cannot wait one more year
'Cause you know you won't find
What you're looking for
Stayin' here
Summertime Water's cool, sun is high
Summertime
Lookin' up, no clouds in the sky
Summertime
Gentle breeze blowing through my mind Summertime
Right time to move
Summer
Cool time, cool time, cool time Summer…

The Frog (H. Deinum - B. Borgers)
album: Shot Into The Blue (1979)
I will lay low - jump high
Send up all my prayers to the stars in the sky
But it doesn't mean a thing - when it won't came through
What I do - I do it all for you I'm a prince and I'm a frog
it's in the way you kiss me
I will dance and I will talk
It's in the way that you move me

Tip Of My Tongue (B. Borgers - R.J. Stips)
album: Sweet d'Buster (1976)
I don't want to waste my time
Playing pinball any longer
Everything that I like to say
Is right here
And a tip of my tongue You don't have to whisper softly
Hanky-panky into my ear
Nothing can ever bring you closer to me
Then a touch of
Met a tip of my tongue
Wanna feel you babe
And a tip of my tongue All the colours in the rainbow
Are shining down on you and me
Throw a light on what is still to be
And we both see
We don't have to live in fear
Salt and sugar, joy and tears
And a tip of my tongue

Under City Lights (B. Borgers - H. Deinum - P. Smeenk)
album: Gigs (1979)
My friends from the past turn their back on me
they say I'm americanized - still they wait and meditate
until their persian carpet takes off and flies
I'll dash through curves - don't look back
just following the signs - along this lonesome freeway
to where it runs under City Lights
living under City Lights - where people strain to get satified
living under City Lights Well dressed girls, wired up-boys - they underscore their passions
by shaking it loose on rhythmic noise - display the latest fashion
and the coloured dudes - they lay it down on a timeless beat
I'll roll myself another one - I'm going high on congo weed
living under City Lights - where people strain to get satisfied
living under City Lights

When It's Over (B. Borgers)
album: Shot Into The Blue (1979)
You wake in the morning - and you draw your curtains
Slipping silently through the routines of the day
But this silence's been too long - I noticed something wrong
You passed the impression that you had to go away When it's over - don't try to save me
This precious feeling grows to pain
I can't hold out - living like strangers anymore
And I will face the truth - soon as you will tell me
that it's over I hear the water running - while the radio's playing
I lay in bed and pretend I'm still asleep
girl in every situation - you avoid all conversations
Even when my eyes are closed I'm looking through the shield
