5 AM in a jazz club
the blue light hides my veins
this basement’s packed with unknown brands
musicians don’t need much
no one’s here to eat yesterday’s ham ’n cheese
no one’s left to snatch more cold beers
just did my gig and I gave it all away
now I’m deaf, dumb, exposed, but at ease
right now there’s no tomorrow
there’s not even a you
just the next two sets of full swing’s ahead
musicians don’t need much
and although I know this sound mood will go
I’m trying to hold on to it
turn of the light as I give it all away
now I’m deaf, dumb, exposed, but at ease
I can’t believe I’m here
Starts the car when it’s still dark
And She’s doing all She can
Deaf, dumb, exposed

Rosie
Lyrics: Nienke Gaastra
Ooh there she lies
In the window-bed
The room looks pale
Rosie
Ooh there she lies
Rosie
In the window-bed
With her head
Turned away from me,
So you cannot tell
Who she
She will be
Rosie
Who’s your enemy
Who’s your friend
Can I trust you for today
Who are you today
The room looks pale
It breathes Dettol here
Clear the fear
Wipe identity
No history
Aware
But her hair’s been done
Hair’s been done
Tell me who are you today
Rosie
Who’s your enemy
Who’s your friend
Can I trust you for today
Who are you today
Are you asleep or just pretend
In a dream without an end
You can be the one you like
Rosie
Who do You
Want to be
Ooh there she lies
In the window-bed
Instead
She now stares at me,
And I can tell
That she
Doesn’t want to be
Doesn’t want to be
Rosie
Rosie
Who’s your enemy
Who’s your friend
This moment of the day
No matter what
Lyrics: Nienke Gaastra
I can’t believe I’m here
And I don’t plan to stay
In the hood we roomed and
rumbled
I find myself astray
And though I should know
better
Cause nothing stays the
same
I’m looking for a boy
A boy who has my name
Cause we were knights and
kings
Soldiers of the streets
Two boys but one heart
We wore it on our sleeves
So you fought butcher Benny
When he came after me
Shared dirt and dust and
blood
No matter what
I can’t believe I’m here
We swore we would not stay
In the hood we lived and
lingered
I feel like I’m betrayed
And though I should know
better
Cause nothing stays the
same
I’m looking for my brother
No matter what
Weed has overgrown
The stories of
All the stones
We used to know
Now I’m here
And I won’t
Leave you no
Oh no
But it’s your stone
It’s your stone
Your stone
That brings me home
No matter what
No matter what
No matter whatModest man
Lyrics: Nienke Gaastra
Starts the car when it’s still dark
He's off to work at seven sharp
And he’s humming a song
Some one hit wonder
Humming along
Kissed the girls in morning
stress
Wasn’t there something he
should've said
Knows for sure she can’t
take more
Don’t push, hush hush
Don’t ask too much
Oh he’s just a modest man
He’s only true to fate
The name of God is Destiny
And She’s doing all She can
They meet during coffee
break
Tells her she’s like a star
She’s night and day to him
Just got it from that song
And if it feels so good
How can it be wrong
Yeah he’s just a modest man
He’s only true to fate
The name of God is Destiny
And She’s doing all She can
Had he been born
Somewhere else
He may have made
Something of himself
But he’s just a modest man
He’s only true to fate
The name of God is Destiny
And She’s doing all She can
Happy yesterday
(break)
Hang a green chilli
And a lime on a thread
Hang some garlic
It might help, so it is said
Remove the evil eye
Get rid of all the why’s
All the don’ts, all the do’s
All the ought to’s
Rid of it all
Of it all
Of it all
