In The Sand

Music & lyrics: Anouk Teeuwe / Bart van Veen


So many times I've cried
When dark clouds block the sunlight
And it's raining in my heart
I'll keep my head up high

So little time to try
To find out 'bout the feeling
That's deep inside of you
And keeps the dream alive

So remember
When you're down and out
In the sand

So many minds are torn
By overloading senses
You're breathing in and out
No second left to sigh

Can you tell me why
Nobody will tell me
What they're feeling deep inside
We're all just telling lies

Every time you wonder
Why the feeling lingers
And it's stuck inside your soul
You're crying when you smile

So remember
When you're down and out
When you're stuck in the middle
When you can't solve the riddle
Lay it down in the sand
When you can't help but shiver
Get your finger off the trigger
Lay it down in the sand

Get it out your head
Out of your hands
Lay it down in the sand

So remember
When you're down and out
When everything's missing
And there's nobody listening
Lay it down in the sand
When you can't help but shiver
Get your finger off the trigger
Lay it down in the sand

Get it out your head
Out of your hands
Lay it down
In the sand

Don't Music & lyrics: Anouk Teeuwe / Bart van Veen No hurry, I'll be waiting for you My baby, now don't you worry I'll be fine Just take your time To make up your mind Draw a line Or flip a dime Waiting for you It's easy, if you want to please me Don't tell me maybe Come back home complete me No strings attached That's a promise I can't keep So I waste my time With lazy crazy dreaming A sparkling wine A twist of lime A whisky soda, hole in time When you're not here Don't say you're sorry Don't say it No Don't say you're sorry
R U Kiddin' Me Music & lyrics: Anouk Teeuwe / Bart van Veen Sure got my piece of heaven An angel in disguise Gone wild But I thought you were a man Who knew right from wrong That's why I really don't understand Why he's with her It's killing me What has she got that I don't have Is it the way she looks at you Laughs with you, can she, Does she make you beg for more This is hurting What has she got that I don't have I tried to call him Anytime anywhere But he's never there So I went to his place And waited all day So he would explain it to me And this is what he said He said: There is nothing left to say I had my fill, I went away Your crying eyes won't change a thing It was just a fling Well how could an angel break my heart He said: We could still be friends Are you kidding me What has she got that I don't have Is it the way she looks at you Talks to you, can she Does she make you beg for more This is hurting What has she got that I don't have, I don't have But twice every year When he's in tears When he loses his mind And can't help but cry He'll call me and then I am better than, I am
Tom Waits Music & lyrics: Anouk Teeuwe / Bart van Veen I was dreaming last night A figment of my brain On the downtown train And we had nowhere to go So we got off to take a walk In the pouring rain You said you rode it once And you would ride it again Please take me with you Tom waits for the morning train To take us away Me and mr. Tom Waits Can't wait no more I'm wrapped around your finger Two fingers on my lips No need to speak Cause it's all in our eyes When they turned out the lights They gave us one for the road We headed for the tracks And never looked back This could never be real Tom waits for the morning train To take us away Me and mr. Tom Waits Can't wait no more Can't wait no more On the downtown train Me and mr. Tom Waits
Urban Solitude Music & lyrics: Anouk Teeuwe / Bart van Veen I've got a bug in my head And a jumping heart No time to spare Turn left turn right step on it Stopped by the traffic light And all that honking screaming The cabdriver is dreaming Of the beach and babes Leaning back easy as the sun goes down But I'm already late No time to spare, couldn't care less about it If the sky was falling down No I don't care you can stare while the whole world is crumbling around me Urban solitude breaking me down Keeps me dreaming Urban solitude shaking me down Keeps me dreaming So you've got a lot of stuff on your mind Or a bleeding heart when nobody cares Step in, step out of the rain Head for the flickering lights, just head for the flickering lights There's always somebody dancing baby, taking a chance You can find a little romance, someone will give you love Although it's just enough to get you through the night Well alright now No I don't care you can stare I don't care about it No I don't care you can stare I don't care about it No I don't care you can stare, while the whole world is crumbling around me Urban solitude breaking me down Keeps me dreaming Urban solitude shaking us down Keeps me dreaming
U Being U Music & lyrics: Anouk Teeuwe / Bart van Veen / Ricardo Pronk I don't exist for you You made that crystal clear Your sweetest thing for 7 years What did I do to deserve this Don't think you own my life I've still got my pride Trying so hard to forget I cannot help but hear your voice This is love, just trust me baby Other girls mean nothing to me Why don't you keep your big mouth shut And all the bridges that you burn Come back one day to haunt you It's just a matter of time Baby, don't get me wrong If I'm not there to catch your fall Did I try for too long Am I to blame for U being U Save those tears for someone else Your trouble's only just begun Hands off my sunshine leave it alone Before I go commit a crime I'm gonna show you what you taught me No respect, no mercy Till you fall down on your knees for me All the bridges that you burn Come back one day to haunt you It's just a matter of time Baby, don't get me wrong If I'm not there to catch your fall Did I try for too long Am I to blame for U being U
Michel Music & lyrics: Anouk Teeuwe / Bart van Veen Hey Michel how's life are you ok I wonder if you ever think of me It's been 9 years since that kiss I can't help but reminisce Hey Michel do you remember We walked the street to the beat Hand in hand you and me Smiling faces so in love Hoping that they all could see That we belonged together you and me against the world But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be Now it's you and her I see You were my first and worst love And so it only could go wrong But ain't that just the way you learn Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know That someone else has stolen my heart And now another girl has caught your eye That doesn't mean I don't think of you I am just hoping that she'll treat you right Do you remember How we walked the street to the beat Hand in hand you and me Smiling faces so in love Hoping that they all could see That we belonged together you and me against the world But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be Now it is you and her I see It was just a silly dream

My Best Wasn't Good Enough Music & lyrics: Dinand Woesthoff Let's say I'm feeling better Let's say I'm feeling fine Let's say I gave you all I had And now I'm out of time And my best wasn't good enough And now this time to wonder Now this time to heal Time to let it all come down But I don't know what I feel But it aches and it hurts and it burns Oh it kills me Tick, tock, you don't stop You don't fade You just stay But I'll do it all again Tick, tock, you don't stop You don't fade You just stay But I'll do it all again Now don't you call me baby Just don't pretend you care Save your sorry for yourself When Judas takes you there Once I really believed There was nothing out there for the lost and lonely But a voice in my head kept banging on my heart Says you're not the only one But it kills me Tick, tock, you don't stop You don't fade You just stay But I'll do it all again Tick, tock, you don't stop You don't fade You just stay But I'll do it all again
It Wasn't Me Music & lyrics: Anouk Teeuwe / Bart van Veen Can you tell me how you feel When you turn on your tv When you see me singing through my tears I've saved up all these years Can you tell me what you see When you read the magazines Do you see yourself in me When you read the magazines When the DJ plays this song Can you tell me what you hear And I hope you feel the way we felt When you put us all through hell Can you tell me how you feel now How do you feel, how do you feel Tell me how you sleep at night Do you take those pills like me Or do you toss and turn and lay your head on the pillow and fall asleep cause you just don't care, how do you feel And now I'm in your face And you feel that empty space Why did we how did we come to fall from grace Falling, falling Didn't you just hear us calling out No there's nothing left to say Cause you shouldn't have stayed away No man leaves his flesh and blood this way And I hope you feel the way we felt When you put us all through hell Can you tell me how you feel now How do you feel, how do you feel Tell me how you sleep at night Do you take those pills like me Or do you toss and turn and lay your head on the pillow and fall asleep cause you just don't care, how do you feel It took a crowd for me to see That it really wasn't me The swaying crowd is the cleansing rain It took the pain away And I hope you'll find yourself alone In a million dollar home You will be stuck With a heart like a rock I hope you run out of luck fool How do you feel now Does it hurt, does it hurt How do you feel now I'm just wonderin' how it feels
