Lyrics:

Hey now girl
I wish you’d look at me like that
but you always look so busy
ain’t got time for  a little chat

Hey now girl
see, I can’t get you outta my head
You know I could try to forget you
but I’d rather have you in my bed

Sing another sweet song
we’re just dancing to the radio
On an endless summer night
and your boyfriend doesn’t need to know
(2x)

Alright

Hey now girl
why d’you never blow my kisses back
You always look so busy
but now your heart is under attack

Hey now girl
he’s not with who you want to be
you should be put on a pedestal
won’t you just come with me

Sing another sweet song
we’re just dancing to the radio
On an endless summer night
and your boyfriend doesn’t need to know
(2x)

Dancing to the radio
Girl, we can take it slow
Dancing to the radio
I won’t let you go
Dancing to the radio
Oh, he doesn’t need to know
Dancing to the radio
Now, girl
We can just take it slow

Take it slow, oh oh
Take it slow, oh, oh

Sing another sweet song

we’re just dancing to the radio

On an endless summer night

and your boyfriend doesn’t need to know

(2x)

Lyrics: 

The King is walking on his tightrope
And he doesn’t quite know what he’s to do
He’s using his binoculars to look around him
He looks at you, looks at you, looks at you

The King, oh he doesn’t know he’s married
Thinks he ought to go find himself a wife
Forgot he’s got a ring on his finger
And already a Queen in his life

Oh Queen why not go up and tell him
That you’ve been loving him so long
That you sat at his table for years and years
And together danced to many a song

The Queen sighs and smiles so gently
Says I hope that one day you will see
Although he’ll wander off to find his love
I know he’ll find his way back to me

Though he isn’t aware
That I’ve always been there
I know he’ll find his way back to me

Though he doesn’t realise
That I’m his wife
I know he’ll find his way back to me

Lyrics: 

Well you are born and then you die, it’s oh so simple

And there are many many things stuck in between

But if you ask me on my deathbed what’s the secret

Of life…I’d say you just have to be keen

And my advice each day is to play play play

Well if you play then you might win, it’s oh so simple

And if you lose then you’ve lost nothing at all

And if you fall you can just get up continue

In life…I’d say you just have to call out each day

I’m gonna play play play!

It’s not just for children

It’s for grown ups too

Sing and dance, love and fall forever

‘Cause if you never played

Then you would’ve never failed

And you wouldn’t be so clever

Well you may have some time left if you’re lucky

But your time may as well be cut short

If  you focus on achievement, pressure and stuff

I would say ‘Abort’

And my advice each day is to play play play

It’s not just for children

It’s for grown ups too

Sing and dance, love and fall forever

‘Cause if you never played

Then you would’ve never failed

And you wouldn’t be so clever

Lyrics: 

Dreams are never real
so I dream of you and me
thoughts don’t seem to hurt, no
So I think of what we could be

Now don’t be so conspicuous
’cause I’m not that obvious
to read as any of your others
so unless your water’s pura and clear
I should not go swimmin’ there
today or any of my days

so fight the break of day
and let’s stay in here
drained by all emotions
we’ll let love take a steer

So with a pocket full of your small change
and a heart stacked with gold
I’ve caught myself crossin town
to be safely guardin’ your door

oh, it’s just about this history
no, love it won’t exist to me
will never involve your romantics
even if your water’s pure and clear
I should not go swimmin’ here
today, I’ll settle for your antiques

so fight the break of day
and let’s stay in here
drained by all emotions
we’ll let love take a steer

oh, it’s just about this history
no, love it won’t exist to me
will never involve your romantics
even if your water’s pure and clear
I should not go swimmin’ here
today, I’ll settle for your antiques

so fight the break of day
and let’s stay in here
drained by all emotions
we’ll let love take a steer

Lyrics: 

Devil slippin’ in
and i’m on his wrong side
the wrong side
left right oh which hand
should you offer the dark eye
If you don’t know by now

that if a thousand lovers
can’t keep me covered

I belong to you
still the earth that fits my root
for their own constellations
and their reasons why
I’ll hang out for nothin’ as he’s runnin’ dry
but I belong to you

Well it must be that time of year
that my mother comes whisperin’
but she knows I ain’t listening
’cause the only sound i’d hear
is his so I’m missin’
the fact your shapes have been shiftin’

Maybe someday
you’ll change my ways

I belong to you
still the earth that fits my root
for their own constellations
and their reasons why
I’ll hang out for nothin’ as he’s runnin’ dry
but I belong to you

the poison air just filled my lungs
as I look at what you all become
you came creepin’ through the howlin’ nights
tryin’ to get by
the poison air just filled my lungs
when I looked at what she became
she came creepin’ through my ancient books
like a crook

Maybe someday
you’ll change my ways

I belong to you
still the earth that fits my root
for their own constellations
and their reasons why
I’ll hang out for nothin’ as he’s runnin’ dry
but I belong to you

Hey iedereen,

We hebben een tijdje stilgelegen met ghentjamming. De reden was de defecte camera die heel lang op zich liet wachten bij de hersteldienst. We hebben de camera terug in ons bezit en kunnen er dus weer met volle goesting invliegen.

Vrijdag 23 december vanaf 5 u gaan we met ghentjamming naar dokkantine waar ladda en DOK hun “fout” kerstfeest Kerst (is a) mess organiseren. Net zoals in onze filmpjes zullen Janne, Kasper, Joni en onze nieuwe artiest Naomi Sijmons aka Reena Riot een akoestisch optreden verzorgen. Het belooft dus een heel gezellige avond te worden met gratis bier uit de bierboom, Kerstbomen die er geen zijn, cadeauruilzuil (neem zeker een kadootje mee), the violent husbands, fisheye DJ line-up, en nog veel meer.

Meer info over Kerst (is a) mess vind je hier.

Tot vrijdag!

Ps: Mijn kerstboom zal er ook staan;).

Lyrics:

King of dogs

Already three days
No communication
Lying in his favourite sofa
All he did was waiting
For his family
To be united
For the whole clan
To be completed
And when they were all there
He gathered forces
Rose slow and steady
No hesitation
He put his chin up, chest forward, thought watch and see me
I’ll make my last walk, in all my pride, yeah look at me
I am the emperor, I am the titan, I am the king of dogs
He couldn’t go far
His body was shaking
Three days of coma
No food, no drinking
So he stopped to sit down
At the first corner
To salute the people
He’d been meeting
For seventeen years long, on his morning travels, yeah that was his thing
Said “Don’t cry for me no, I’m wise and old, and I’ve seen it all
Seventeen years, a life of love, it’s time to go
To doggy’s paradise, chasing bitches, always do as I please
To feed me with only chocolate, get all the hugs I need
I’ll be the emperor, I’ll be the titan, I’ll be the king of dogs
I’ll be the emperor, I’ll be the titan, I’ll be the king of dogs
I’ll be the emperor, I’ll be the titan, I’ll be the king of dogs”

Band: Resonate Crop Ark     Song: Army Of Fools      Location: Sint-Baafsabdij    Website: Facebook  

 Instrument:  Meinl cajón – Contrabas – Martin and Co. guitar.

Lyrics:

Army of Fools

Couldn’t last much longer, staring into the void, darkminded
Couldn’t take much longer, dying from living these lies
Wind please blow me some sweet change
You’ll find me low, outside, waiting
I’ll be drugged and floored
But I’ll rise up and fight

One of those nights he couldn’t close his eyes
Opened up the window and he could feel the Wind blow
That’s when he heard her say “You don’t belong here
Time to pack and leave before you drawn

Too much noise, hard to hear your thoughts
Spread the love, make the tiny world go round
Little soul, way to much show
While hearts is all we need
Guess you’re tired, but you got no time to sleep”

Swept off his feet he started his long journey
Through green fields, over mountains and across wild seas
More and more people joined the Army of Fools and
They marched along towards the lightning

They lost themselves
Carrying their hearts too big
For this world, this world
Full of sharks and hungry predators

But they kept on going on
They didn’t have a choice
Being who they were
They died laughing

The Wind blew and screamed out loud
“Always, always keep in mind my dear
Love is all, all we really need here
But they’ll always try to make you doubt
Guess you’re tired, well darling rest in peace”
