BLUE VALENTINES
She send me blue valentines
to remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt
or get these bloodstaines off my hands
And it takes alot of whiskey
to make these nightmares go away
And I cut my bleeding heart out every nite
And I die a little more on each
St. Valentines day
Remember that I promised
I would write you
These blue valentines ...
Tom Waits, Blue Valentine HAVE A LITTLE FAITH IN ME
When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love grow a spark
Have a little faith in me
I've been loving you for such a long time
Expecting nothing in return
You see time is our friend
Cause there is no end
I will hold you up
Your love gives me strength enough
All you gotta do for me
Is have a little faith in me
John Hiatt, Bring the family
CHERRY OH BABY
Oh cherry oh cherry oh baby
Don't you know I'm in love with you
If you don't believe I do
Then why don't you try me
I'm never gonna to let you down
Never make you wear no frown
If you say you love me madly
Then I will receive you gladly
Jagger/Richards, Black and Blue
EVERYDAY I HAVE THE BLUES
Everyday I have the blues
Everyday I have the blues
When you see me worry
Oh it's you I hate to lose
Nobody loves me Nobody see
Nobody seems to care
Well you're talkin' about bad lovin'
You know I really had my share
Everyday I have the blues
Everyday I have the blues
When you see me worry
You know it's you I hate to lose

MY FUNNY VALENTINE
You're my funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable,
un-photographable,
Yet, you're my favorite work of art.
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me.
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day

(I KEEP A) CLOSE WATCH
Never win and never lose
There's nothing much to choose
Between the right and wrong
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Still things aren't quite the same
Between you and me
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I still hear your voice at night
When I turn out the light
And try to settle down
But there's nothing much I can do
Because I can't live without you
Any way at all I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
John Cale, Music tor a New Society
BLUE MOTEL ROOM
I've got a blue motel room
With a blue bedspread
I've got the blues inside and outside
my head
Will you still love me
When I call you up when I'm down
It's funny how these old feelings
hang around
You think they're gone
No, no
They just go underground
Will you still love me
When I get back to town
Joni Mitchell, Hejira
SURABAYA-JOHNNY
Du sagtest viel, Johnny
Kein Wort war wahr, Johnny
Du hast mich betrogen, Johnny
Zur ersten Stund
Ich hasse dich so, Johnny
Wie du da stehst und grinst, Johnny
Nimm doch die Pfeiffe aus dem Maul,
du Hund
Surabaya-Johnny, warum bist du so roh?
Surabaya-Johnny, mein Gott,
und ich liebe dich so
Surabaya-Johnny, warum bin ich nicht froh?
Du hast kein Herz, Johnny
und Ich liebe dich so
Lotte Lenya, Lotte Lenya singt Kurt Weill
LOVER, YOU SHOULD'VE COME OVER
Well maybe I'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong
Oh... lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
Well I feel too young to hold on
And I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage
I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love well I'm waiting for you
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
Jeff Buckley, Grace
JE VEUX DE L'AMOUR
Je veux de l'amour, je veux de l'amour
Waar ik ga, waar ik sta, voor ik sterf,
voor 'k verga
Je veux de l'amour
Je veux de I'amour
Nu, niet seffes, niet direct, niet sebiet
Niet weldra
Maar nu
Maintenant, tout de suite, heute, godverdomme
Je veux de I'amour
En ook geld, geld
Om kadootjes te kopen en aan iedereen te geven
Opdat ze zouden van me houden
Raymond van het Groenewoud, Leven en liefdes
