Things the Grandchildren Should Know - Eels
I go to bed real early
Everybody thinks it’s strange
I get up early in the morning
No matter how disappointed I was with the day before
It feels new
I don’t leave the house much
I dont like being around people
Makes me nervous and weird
I don’t like going to shows either
It’s better for me to stay home
Some might think it means that I hate people
But that’s not quite right
I do some stupid things
But my heart’s in the right place
And this I know
I got a dog, I take him for a walk
And all the people like to say “hello”
I’m used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks
I’m learning how to say hello
Without too much trouble
I’m turning out just like my father
Though I swore I never would
Now, I can say that i have love for him
I never really understood
What it must have been like for him
Living inside his head
I feel like he’s here with me now
Even though he’s dead
It’s not all good and it’s not all bad
Don’t believe everything you read
I’m the only one who knows what it’s like
So I thought I’d better tell you
Before I leave
So, in the end, I’d like to say
That I’m a very thankful man
I tried to make the most of my situations
And enjoy what I had
I knew true love and I knew passion
And the difference between the two
And I have some regrets
But if I could do it all again
Well, it’s something I’d like to do
Kom terug
Spinvis
Gooi een steen naar de dag
Zo ver als je kunt
Spoel het zout van je huid
Doof het vuur
Volg het spoor dat er ligt
Zoek niet wat er nooit meer is
Was het zand uit je haar
Geef een naam aan ieder jaar
Drink de tranen op je hand
Zwijg er van
Erf de ogen van je kind
Kijk er door
Koester je geheime hart tot het eind
Reis ver, drink wijn, denk na
Lach hard, duik diep
Kom terug
Droom een boor in de zon
Geef hem zeilen en wind
Kus een droevige mond heel zacht
Voor de dag begint
Bewaar een steen in je tas
Uit het land waar je sliep
Waar je de wonden opliep
Waar een koninkrijk verging
Haal de parels uit de zee
Geef ze weg
Vecht met alles wat je hebt
Verlies het goed
Wacht dan tot het lichter wordt
Je hebt de tijd
Reis ver, drink wijn, denk na
Lach hard, duik diep
Kom terug
Don't Let the Old Man In
Toby Keith
I wanna leave this alone
Can’t leave it up to him
He’s knocking on my door
That someday it would end
Get up and go outside
Don’t let the old man in
My body’s weathered and worn
Ask yourself how would you be
If you didn’t know the day you were born
And stay close to your friends
Toast each sundown with wine
Don’t let the old man in
My body’s weathered and worn
Ask yourself how would you be
If you didn’t know the day you were born
And you feel that cold bitter wind
Look out your window and smile
Don’t let the old man in
Don’t let the old man in
Novo Amor
Anchor
Took the breath from my open mouth
Never known how it broke me down
I went in circles somewhere else
Shook the best when your love was home
Storing up on your summer glow
You went in search of someone else
And I hear your ship is comin’ in
Your tears a sea for me to swim
And I hear a storm is comin’ in
My dear, is it all we’ve ever been
Caught the air in your woven mouth
Leave it all I’ll be hearing how you went
In search of someone else
They taught the hand that taut the bride
Both our eyes locked to the tide
We went in circles somewhere else
And I hear your ship is comin’ in
Your tears a sea for me to swim
And I hear a storm is comin’ in
My dear, is it all we’ve ever been
Anchor up to me, love
Anchor up to me, love
Anchor up to me, love
Oh, anchor up to me
My love, my love, my love
Rooting for You
London Grammar
Let winter break
Let it burn ’til I see you again
I will be here with you
Just like I told you I would
I’d love to always love you
But I’m scared of loneliness
When I’m, when I’m alone with you
I know it’s hard
Only you and I
Is it all for me?
Because I know it’s all for you
And I guess, I guess
It is only, you are the only thing I’ve ever truly known
So, I hesitate, if I can act the same for you
And my darlin’, I’ll be rooting for you
And my darlin’, I’ll be rooting for you
And where did she go
Truth left us long ago
And I need her tonight because I’m scared of loneliness with you, baby
And I should let it go
But all that is left is my perspective, broken and so left behind again
I know it’s hard
Only you and I
Is it all for me
Because I know it’s all for you
And I guess, I guess
It is only, you are the only thing I’ve ever truly known
So, I hesitate, if I can act the same for you
And my darlin’, I’ll be rooting for you
And my darlin’, I’ll be rooting for you
Song by Allen Ginsberg

Song by Allen Ginsberg – Read by Tom O’Bedlam
The weight of the world
is love
under the burden
of sollitude
under the burdon
of dissatisfaction
The weight
the weight we carry
is love
Who can deny
In dreams
it touches
the body
in tought
constructs
a miracle
in imagination
anguishes
till born
in human
looks out of the heart
burning with purity
for the burden of life
is love
But we carry the weight
wearily
and so must rest
in the arms of love
at last
must rest in the arms
of love
No rest
without love
no sleep
without dreams
of love
be mad or chill
obsessed with angels
or machines
the final wish
is love
cannot be bitter
cannot deny
cannot withhold
if denied
The weight is too heavy
must give
for no return
as thought
is given
in solitude
in all the excellence
of its excess
The warm bodies
shine together
in the darkness
the hand moves
to the center
of the flesh
the skin trembles
in happiness
and the soul comes
joyful to the eye
Yes, yes,
that’s what
I wanted
I always wanted
I always wanted
to return
to the body
where I was born
Why Worry
Dire Straits
Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby, I’ll wipe away those bitter tears
I’ll chase away those restless fears
And turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?
Why worry now?
Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn’t hard to say
But baby,
Just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?
Why worry now?
Feest
Thé Lau
Hier is het eind, het eind van het feest
Kom, we gaan naar beneden
De bloemen zijn dood, de flessen zijn leeg
Het was mooi, maar nu is het verleden
Jij was zo mooi, jij was prachtig
Maar jij, jij hebt je strijd nu gestreden
De menigte weg, de herrie verstomd
Wat het waard was zal moeten blijken
Kom met me mee, stap uit de zon
De wereld hoeft nu niet te kijken
Jij was zo mooi, jij was prachtig
Maar jij, jij hoeft niets meer te bereiken
Jij was zo mooi, jij was prachtig
Maar jij, jij hoeft niets meer te bereiken
Hemelvaartsochtend, heldere zon
Kom, we gaan naar beneden
Het feest is geëindigd zoals het begon
Lach nog eenmaal voor mij, wees tevreden
Jij was zo mooi, jij was prachtig
Maar jij, jij hebt je strijd nu gestreden
Jij was zo mooi, jij was prachtig
Maar jij, jij hebt je strijd nu gestreden…
