Milow - Herald of Free Enterprise

This is the legend of eight sisters, Herald was the famous one

It happened twenty years ago although the sea was calm

It was 1987 and winter nearly gone

On that Friday running late with rolling off and rolling on

Trucks and cars were sleeping door by door and side by side

Someone had to close the back door

That day it must have slipped his mind

He was fast asleep in his cabin, tired from cleaning out the hall

While passengers were eating, indulging duty-free-for-all

Herald of Free Enterprise

Herald of Free Enterprise

Herald of Free Enterprise

In just ninety seconds, right down to the wire

Sailing with the doors wide open so the waves kept pouring in

As they passed the Outer Mole the disaster could begin

A hundred yards from the shore right outside a Belgian port

The lights went out the ship turned around and fell to starboard

Then nothing but silence, silence and the cold

Herald and her sisters never fit the mold

Two months later she was refloated a final one-way trip exchange

Pensioned off into the Thirld World

Where they named her Flushing Range

But in ’88 she broke in two, probably because of guilt

Pride and Spirit changed their names

They were all doomed since they were built

This is the legend of eight sisters, Herald was the famous one

It happened twenty years ago although the sea was calm

I was just a boy then, holding daddy’s hands

Watching on tv how Herald’s time came to an end

Heel mooi nummer yes.gif

Even nog een korte toelichting die ik in dit geval maar even gauw van wikipedia pluk, aangezien dit nummer velen niet veel zal zeggen:

bron: link

De Herald of Free Enterprise was een Brits roll-on roll-off autoveer dat op 6 maart 1987, vlak na vertrek richting Dover uit de haven van Zeebrugge, kapseisde.

De Herald of Free Enterprise was in 1980 gebouwd bij Schichau Unterweser AG in Bremerhaven (Duitsland) en had een lengte van 131,91 meter, een breedte van 23,19 meter en een diepgang van 5,72 meter. De maximumsnelheid was 22 knopen (41 km/h). Het schip was eigendom van rederij Townsend Thoresen die in januari 1987 gekocht was door P&O Ferries; de werknaam Townsend Thoresen werd een week na de ramp afgeschaft. De Pride of Free Enterprise (heet nu Oleander) en de Spirit of Free Enterprise (heet nu Anthi Marina) zijn zusterschepen.

[bewerk] Oorzaak van de ramp

Om 19:05, net na vertrek om zeven uur 's avonds, kapseisde het schip op zo'n 91 meter voor de Belgische kust. Er was op dat moment 80 man personeel aan boord en het vervoerde ongeveer 600 passagiers, 81 personenauto's, 3 bussen en 47 vrachtwagens.

Analyse van de ramp leerde dat dit een typisch Human Factors ongeval bleek te zijn, waarin een combinatie van latente en actieve fouten op dit specifieke moment de opening tot het ongeval gaven. Tot de latente fouten kunnen zowel technische (ontwerp van het schip, ontbreken van waarschuwingssystemen) als organisatorische (onduidelijke taakverdeling bemanning, haast om op schematijd te varen) gerekend worden. Tot de actieve fouten het openlaten van de boegdeur, het te snel varen, het niet leeg zijn van de ballasttanks, en het drinken van alcohol tijdens actieve dienst door officieren.

[bewerk] Verloop

Een gebrekkige communicatie tussen de hogere kaders, die actief toezicht op de veiligheid op het schip niet hun verantwoordelijkheid achtten, en de medewerkers aan boord werd achteraf aangewezen als reden waarom de boegdeur niet gesloten werd. Hierdoor kon er water naar binnenstromen. Dat er daadwerkelijk water naar binnen stroomde kwam door de hoge boeggolf, die veroorzaakt werd omdat er sneller werd gevaren dan normaal omdat het schip vertraging had. Daar kwam nog bij dat het schip lager in het water lag dan normaal, omdat de ballasttanks die gebruikt werden tijdens het inladen nog niet helemaal leeggepompt waren. Het gebruik van deze tanks op zich was een uitzonderlijke procedure. De Herald of Free Enterprise voer normaal gesproken niet op deze route, en de laadbrug bleek, bij hoog water, niet hoog genoeg om het bovendek van het schip te bereiken. Door zeewater in de tanks te pompen kwam het schip lager in het water te liggen. Er bestonden plannen om de Herald of Free Enterprise technisch aan te passen om deze procedure te kunnen vermijden.

De druk die er kennelijk op de operatie lag om "op tijd" te varen is een voorbeeld van een organisatorische, latente systeemfout. Het te snel laten varen van het schip terwijl de ballasttanks nog niet leeg waren duidt voorts op een gebrek aan situational awareness bij de verantwoordelijken op de brug. Men begreep op dat specifieke moment niet wat de consequenties van het eigen handelen zouden zijn. Situational awareness kan worden opgebouwd door middel van training, maar moet ter plekke zoveel mogelijk ondersteund worden door feedback van het systeem. In dit geval ontbrak op de brug een indicator die het sluiten van de boegdeur aangaf, waarmee de kans op het doorbreken van de keten van opéénvolgende fouten wellicht had kunnen worden doorbroken. Dit kan gezien worden als een latente, technische ontwerpfout.

Door al deze factoren spoelde de boeggolf in het autodek en kapseisde het schip van 80.000 ton in 90 seconden. Het rampenplan wordt afgekondigd door de toenmalige gouverneur van West-Vlaanderen Olivier Vanneste, en mede door snel en efficiënt handelen van de Belgische hulpdiensten, waaronder duikers van het leger en de Civiele Bescherming, maar ook de dringende medische hulpverlening door het Belgische Rode Kruis is het aantal doden beperkt gebleven tot 193. Ook een aantal garnaalvissers, die als eerste op de plaats van de ramp waren en enkele bemanningsleden maakten de evacuatie snel en doeltreffend. De meeste slachtoffers waren Britten en zijn gestorven door uitputting in het ijskoude zeewater (2 à 3 °C). Drie personen werden nooit teruggevonden: een baby en twee Britse militairen.

Dit type boten had vanwege het principe van roll-on-roll-off één groot dek, zodat de auto's de boot binnen konden rijden aan de achterkant, en bij aankomst aan de voorkant weer weg konden rijden. Hierdoor heeft een watermassa die op het dek terecht komt, enorm veel ruimte. De watermassa spoelt dan ook snel op één plek samen, wat een schip in zeer korte tijd kan doen kapseizen. Een tweede voorbeeld van een technische ontwerpfout die heeft bijgedragen aan dit ongeluk. Na het ongeluk zijn tussenschotten op de autodekken verplicht geworden voor dit type boten. De tussenschotten worden na aankomst van de passagiers gesloten en weer geopend als de boot gearriveerd is op de plaats van bestemming.

Het schip is geborgen door het Nederlandse bedrijf Smit-Tak. De berging van het schip, waaraan 95 vakmensen deelnemen en waarvan de kosten op ca. 7,5 miljoen euro worden geraamd, begint op dinsdag 8 april om 8 uur 's morgens, een maand na de ramp. Daarna is het wrak verkocht aan Compania Naviera SA, die het een beetje opgelapt heeft en omgedoopt tot Flushing Range. In 1988 werd het schip gesloopt nadat het doormidden was gebroken.

Ik ga sterven...

Mijn God, ik weet wel, dàt ik zal sterven,

ik ben een mens, die dra vergaat;

ik kan mij hier geen goed verwerven,

dat eeuwig mij ten dienste staat.

Toon mij in Uw genade aan:

hoe kan ik zalig sterven gaan.

Ik weet niet, God, wannéér 'k zal sterven,

de dood bedreigt mij ieder uur;

een aarden vat valt licht aan scherven,

der bloemen bloei is kort van duur.

Maak daarom mij in dezen tijd

reeds hier gereed voor d' eeuwigheid.

Mijn God, ik weet niet, hòe 'k zal sterven,

langs vreemde wegen gaat de dood;

licht kan de een het leven derven,

de ander gaat door groten nood.

Hoe ook mijn levenseinde zij,

niet zonder u! Blijf Gij nabij.

Mijn God, ik weet niet, wáár 'k zal sterven,

en welke grond mijn lichaam dekt.

Maar doe mij Uwe gunst beërven,

als Gij mij eens ten leven wekt.

Waar zou ik immer U ontgaan,

Uw stem zal 'k zelfs in 't graf verstaan.

Getrouwe God, als 'k dan ga sterven

beveel 'k mijn geest in Uwe hand:

ik zal met Christus 't leven erven

in 't overzijdse Vaderland.

Is Hij nabij, 't is alles goed,

hoe, waar, wanneer ik sterven moet.

Gezang 239 uit de bundel der Ned. Herv. Kerk (1938)

Delirious- All God's Children

Light will come to those who wait

From the shadows souls awake

For these are the days when the nations will bow at the coming king

All our kingdoms fall with the mountains

And our empires crash into the sea

For these are the days when the nations will rise for the coming king

All gods children we will sing hallelujah

Hope will come to those who wait

As the heart of heaven breaks

For these are the days when the least of us all see the coming king

For these are the days when injustice will fall at the coming king

There will come a day when this will all fall away

And we'll be singing hallelujah

Josh Groban - You are loved (don't give up)

Don't give up

It's just the weight of the world

When your heart's heavy

I...I will lift it for you

Don't give up

Because you want to be heard

If silence keeps you

I...I will break it for you

Everybody wants to be understood

Well I can hear you

Everybody wants to be loved

Don't give up

Because you are loved

Don't give up

It's just the hurt that you hide

When you're lost inside

I...I will be there to find you

Don't give up

Because you want to burn bright

If darkness blinds you

I...I will shine to guide you

Everybody wants to be understood

Well I can hear you

Everybody wants to be loved

Don't give up

Because you are loved

You are loved

Don't give up

It's just the weight of the world

Don't give up

Every one needs to be heard

You are loved

Josh Groban - You raise me up

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;

When troubles come and my heart burdened be;

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,

Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;

Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;

But when you come and I am filled with wonder,

Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.*

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

*hoort wel bij het liedje, zit er bij de versie van Josh Groban niet in..

Je hebt zeker nooit van het Nieuwtestamentische Griekse woord 'lambano' gehoord?

En van de Oudtestamentische Jacob? (o.a. Gen 32:26, Rom 9:13)

En van het terugeisen van de duivel van alles wat hij van de mensen gestolen heeft? (bv. Ex 22:7, Joh.10:10)

Herman van Veen- Kyrie Eleison

Voor de bakker die zijn vuur laat doven voor de boer die zijn ploeg laat staan

voor de metselaar die geen huis meer wil bouwen voor de herders die niet meer verder gaan

Eleison, eleison, kyrie eleison

Voor de meester die niet meer durft vertellen voor de priester die zijn gebed vergeet

voor de dokter die niet meer kan genezen en voor de rechter die geen raad meer weet

Eleison, eleison, kyrie eleison

Voor de grootmoeder alleen op haar kamer voor opa die al vergeten is

voor de angsten en slapeloze nachten voor 't verdriet dat niet geweten is

Eleison, eleison, kyrie eleison

Voor de minnaars die niet meer zingen voor de liefste die het huis verlaat

voor al het nutteloze leed van de wereld voor ons zieltje dat tenonder gaat

Eleison, eleison, kyrie eleison

Voor de kinders in kelders gevangen zoveel onschuld verkracht en vermoord

voor de politieke heersers door geld en macht ontspoord

Eleison, eleison, kyrie eleison

Voor onze bitsige bijtende woorden voor onze leugens en onze achterklap

voor het paradijs dat we verloren voor onze levenslange ballingschap

Eleison, eleison, kyrie eleison

Voor cipiers en advocaten voor presidenten en inspecteurs

voor adjudanten en commandanten voor commissarissen en controleurs

Eleison, eleison, kyrie eleison

Voor fabrikanten en voor commercianten en farizeeërs met groot gewin

in hormonen drugs en wapens voor al 't kwaad er tussenin

Eleison, eleison, kyrie eleison

Ook voor vissers en voor matrozen en voor het boerenvolk op de tracteur

voor 't zigeunervolk langs de wegen voor de schipper en de vrachtchauffeur

Eleison, eleison, kyrie eleison

Voor de buurvrouw en de glazenwasser voor de smid en voor de timmerman

voor het ventje aan zijn loketje voor de zanger voor de orgelman

Eleison, eleison, kyrie eleison

Voor de moeder van 't kreupele kindje voor het lief van een dode soldaat

voor het meiske zonder beminde voor al 't zeer dat nooit meer overgaat

er kan niemand zonder wat vrede rijke boer of arme proleet

Misschien omdat het ook daadwerkelijk zo goed is, maar misschien ook vooral omdat het thema 'communicatie' me zo aanspreekt:

Pink Floyd - Keep talking

For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals

Then something happenend which unleashed the power of our imagination

We learned to talk

There's a silence surrounding me

I can't seem to think straight

I'll sit in the corner

No one can bother me

I think I should speak now ___________ Why won't you talk to me

I can't seem to speak now ____________ You never talk to me

My words won't come out right ________ What are you thinking

I feel like I'm drowning _____________ What are you feeling

I'm feeling weak now _________________ Why won't you talk to me

But I can't show my weakness _________ You never talk to me

I sometimes wonder ___________________ What are you thinking

Where do we go from here _____________ What are you feeling

It doesn't have to be like this

All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me _____________ I feel like I'm drowning

You never talk to me _________________ You know I can't breathe now

What are you thinking ________________ We're going nowhere

What are you feeling _________________ We're going nowhere

Why won't you talk to me

You never talk to me

What are you thinking

Where do we go from here

It doesn't have to be like this

All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Pink Floyd - Lost for words

I was spending my time in the doldrums

I was caught in the cauldron of hate

I felt persecuted and paralyzed

I thought that everything else would just wait

While you are wasting your time on your enemies

Engulfed in a fever of spite

Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades

Like shadows into the night

To martyr yourself to caution

Is not going to help at all

Because there'll be no safety in numbers

When the Right One walks out of the door

Can you see your days blighted by darkness?

Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?

Stuck in a world of isolation

While ivy grows over the door

So I open my door to my enemies

And I ask could we wipe the slate clean

But they tell me to please go fuck myself

You know you just can't win

Lily Allen - Chinese

I see you from the sky

And I wonder how long it will take me to get home

I wait for an hour or so at the carousel

I have a cigarette to pass the time

Cause the traffic's hell

I don't want anything more

Than to see your face when you open the door

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk

I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

You wipe the tears from my eye

And you say that all that it takes is a phone call

I cry at the thought of being alone and then

I wonder how long it will take til I'm home again

I don't want anything more

Than to see your face when you open the door

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk

I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

I know it doesn't seem so fair

But I'll send you a postcard when I get there

I don't want anything more

Than to see your face when you open the door

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk

I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

Nu aan het rippen van LP naar mp3:

Steve Taylor - Drive, He Said

On a desert road that steamed the sky

With the windows up and the air on high

I was off the stage, I was on the mend

With a solo drive to a holiday weekend

My thirsty car came to a stop

At the Reptile Gardens Curio Shop

When a wind came hissing through the vents,

And I felt my sneakers growing tense

My forehead broke in a cold, cold sweat

In the rear view mirror was a silhouette

Then I heard the door locks take a dive

And a whisper screamed "Don't turn around, just drive"

Scratch! Dressed in red

Pointy tail and horn-rimmed head

And a widow's peak like Eddie Munster

I sat frozen in my seat

"We haven't had the chance to meet

Are you a singing telegram or something?"

He just flashed a hellish smile

"Let's go driving for a while"

He held something in his hand I'd never seen before

It was my Chevrolet's pink slip

Scratch! Evil eye

"Step on it, boy, if you want to stay alive" he said

"Don't look surprised, you know what I want

I've lived for years inside your trunk, so drive" he said

"Let's get talking business, son

You ain't fooling anyone

I know just what you want to be

Now it's time to work for me, so drive"

If this is a nasty dream

I'd prefer to wake up here

I believe the point is clear

Scratch! Out of my car!

He said "Ha! I've come too far

Besides, I kinda like the velour seat covers"

God, help me! What do I do?

"Shut up boy, it's too late for you, now drive!"

"All you phonies get it wrong

Double lives take half as long

Should have kept your windows clean

Now I'm part of this machine"

"You've got a good 80,000 miles left

Before the recall"

If this is a nasty dream

I believe the point's quite clear

I'd prefer to wake up here

Please

I started humming Amazing Grace

He said "Come on, boy, give me a break"

So I hit the brakes with both my feet

And sent two horns through the bucket seat

Then the locks shot up as the grace came down

I said "Here's the keys, I'll be walking back to town"

Een nummer dat mij nog steeds kippenvel geeft:

Don Francisco - Got To Tell Somebody

She kept on getting weaker as day dragged into day

The doctors gave no hope for her; she seemed to fade away

My hours were filled with constant dread; time became a knife

That slowly and relentlessly cut the cord of life

There was a teacher in the region then some of us had heard

That He'd healed the paralytic by the power of just His Word

So with hope again rekindled I went at once to see

If I could find a man named Jesus from a town in Galilee

I began to search the city and soon I saw the crowd

They were pressing in to touch Him and they called His Name out loud

But with the strength of desperation I pushed them all aside

I through myself before Him and from my knees I cried

"Lord, come and heal my daughter, even now she's close to death

Her fever's uncontrollable, she fights for every breath

But God's given You the power; life is Yours to give

If you'll just lay Your hands on her I know that she will live"

(She will live, she will live)

Well, He'd just begun to go with me when a face I saw with fear

Came towards me with the news I knew I didn't want to hear

And although I tried to steel myself I trembled when he said

"Why bother the Teacher anymore, your little girl is dead."

Then Jesus touched my shoulder and He told me not to grieve

The trembling stopped when He looked at me and said, "Only believe"

Then He sent the crowds away except His closest men

And they followed right behind us as we started off again

But we were still a long ways down the road when I heard the sounds and cries

Of the mourners and musicians as they strove to dramatize

My grief they had no business with beneath their loud disguise

My wife just sat there silently and stared through empty eyes

Then Jesus asked the mourners, "Why is it that you weep?

She isn't dead as you suppose, the child is just asleep."

It only took a moment for their wails to turn to jeers

"Who does this man think he is? Get him out of here!"

With authority I've never heard in the lips of any man

He spoke and every sound rolled out with the thunder of command

And in the sudden silence they all hurried for the door

Wondering what the reasons were they'd ever come there for

Then He called his three disciples that were with Him on the way

He led them and my wife and me to where our daughter lay

He took her by the hand; He told her "Child, arise"

And the words were barely spoken when she opened up her eyes

She rose and walked across the room and stood there at our sides

My wife knelt down and held her close and at last she really cried

And then Jesus told us both to see that our daughter had some food

But as to how her life was saved, not to speak a word...

Not to speak a word...

I got to tell somebody

I got to tell somebody

I got to tell somebody

I got to tell somebody

I got to tell somebody, got to tell somebody, what Jesus did for me

I got to tell somebody, got to tell somebody, what Jesus did for me

I got to tell somebody, got to tell somebody, what Jesus did for me

I got to tell somebody, got to tell somebody, what Jesus did for me

With authority I've never heard in the lips of any man

He spoke and every sound rolled out with the thunder of command

And in the sudden silence they all hurried for the door

Wondering what the reasons were they'd ever come there for

Then He called his three disciples that were with Him on the way

He led them and my wife and me to where our daughter lay

He took her by the hand; He told her "Child, arise"

And the words were barely spoken when she opened up her eyes

She rose and walked across the room and stood there at our sides

My wife knelt down and held her close and at last she really cried

And then Jesus told us both to see that our daughter had some food

But as to how her life was saved, not to speak a word...

Not to speak a word...

I got to tell somebody

I got to tell somebody

I got to tell somebody

I got to tell somebody

I got to tell somebody, got to tell somebody, what Jesus did for me

I got to tell somebody, got to tell somebody, what Jesus did for me

I got to tell somebody, got to tell somebody, what Jesus did for me

I got to tell somebody, got to tell somebody, what Jesus did for me

We hadden een casette van hem, waar ditnummer op stond, maar daar is allang he een en ander overheen opgenomenpuh2.gif

Emerson Hart - Flyin'

Big blue skies and an open field

My right hand on the steering wheel

Two young lovers runnin' wild

We bought string and a brand new kite

We couldn't wait to watch it fly

But it flew too high, it flew too high

Here comes the wind let your string unwind

Run as fast as you can in your mind

Back to a place that you never forgot

Before everything was lost

I don't remember when we ran out of rope

When we did we lost all hope

And we just stood there cryin'

That what's we learned about flyin'

So I took your hand and you took mine

And we waltzed togheter in time

But looking back I guess I didn't know

That I was in love and you were letting go

It's funny how your mind plays tricks on you

Seemed like the higher and higher we flew

You took off and I was made of stone

I was made of stone

Here comes the wind let your string unwind

Run as fast as you can in your mind

Back to a place that you never forgot

Before everything was lost

I don't remember when we ran out of rope

When we did we lost all hope

And we just stood there cryin'

That what's we learned about flyin'

Here comes the wind let your string unwind

Run as fast as you can in your mind

Back to a place that you never forgot

Before everything was lost

I don't remember when we ran out of rope

When we did we lost all hope

And we just stood there cryin'

That what's we learned about flyin'

What would do think if I sang out of tune, Would you stand up and walk out on me. Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song, And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends, He gets high with a little help from his friends, Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away. (Does it worry you to be alone) How do I feel by the end of the day (Are you sad because you're on your own)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends, Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends, Mmm I'm gonna to try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody? I need somebody to love. Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight? Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time. What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends, Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends, Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody? I need someone to love. Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love Oh... I get by with a little help from my friends, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends I get high with a little help from my friends Yes I get by with a little help from my friends, with a little help from my friends

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

If I leave here tomorrow

Would you still remember me?

For I must be travelling on, now,

'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.

But, if I stayed here with you, girl,

Things just couldn't be the same.

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,

And this bird you can not change.

Lord knows, I can't change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.

Though this feeling I can't change.

But please don't take it badly,

'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.

But, if I stayed here with you girl,

Things just couldn't be the same.

Cause I'm as free as a bird now,

And this bird you'll never change.

And this bird you can not change.

Lord knows, I can't change.

Lord help me, I can't change.

White as snow

van U2 (nieuwe album)

Where I came from there were no hills at all

The land was flat, the highways straight and wide

My brother and I would drive for hours

Like years instead of days

Our faces as pale as the dirty snow

Once I knew there was a love divine

Then came a time I thought it knew me not

Who can forgive forgiveness where forgiveness is not

Only the lamb as white as snow

And the water, it was icy

As it washed over me

And the moon shone above me

Now this dry ground it bears no fruit at all

Only poppies laugh under the crescent moon

The road refuses strangers

The land the seeds we sow

Where might we find the lamb as white as snow

As boys we would go hunting in the woods

To sleep the night shooting out the stars

Now the wolves are every passing stranger

Every face we cannot know

If only a heart could be as white as snow

If only a heart could be as white as snow

Hi Barbie

Hi Ken!

Life in plastic, it's fantastic!

I'm a barbie girl, in the barbie world

Life in plastic, it's fantastic!

Imagination, life is your creation

I'm a blond bimbo girl, in the fantasy world

Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly

You're my doll, rock'n'roll, feel the glamour in pink,

kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky...

You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"

Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again,

hit the town, fool around, let's go party

You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"

You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"

Come on Barbie, let's go party!

Quote:
Just try to break me

Take everything away

Just try to shake me

Out of my place

Nothing’s created

And nothing is destroyed

Just try to tame me

You’ll never find a way

There’s no containing

And no way to brake

Nothing’s created

And nothing is destroyed

[Chorus]

Take it away,

I'll never give this up

No way to break

We’re all made of love

(There isn’t a way)

We’re all made of love

Just try to save me

There’s nothing you can change

There’s no explaining

And no one to blame

Nothing’s created

And nothing can destroy

I'll never give this up

We’re all made of love

We’re all made of love

[Chorus 2x]

I'll never give this up

We’re all made of love

We’re all made of love

Zelfs het banale heeft zo zijn schoonheid
