A Dutch song about running which came to me whilst running. Incidentally the beat matches my running tempo.

Rennen

Up stream, down river
Up high or down low
Up stream, down river
In the sky or on the ground

Life's full of barricades
and you decide what you are made of
It's how we cope that defines who we are

Try it yourself but don't be afraid
to ask for help along the way
for those you love will never be far

Life, life, life
Is a wonderful thing 2x

Up Stream Down River

(Shortly written after losing my job for being too late)
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME Lyrics

You don't need to tell me how fucked up life is,
I already know
Cause I ready know

Then suddenly something comes along
it first seems right but
than it turns out wro--ohoohohohohohng

You don't need to tell me how fucked up life is,
I already know
Cause I ready know

Oh no I lost my job,
And oh no I lost my dog
And my girlfriend too

But I know that I will be just fine
Cause I know that it's just a matter of time
Before I pull through

You don't need to tell me how fucked up life is,
I already know
Cause I ready know

You Dont Have To Tell Me

*This song came to me cycling back from a job interview to which I was late... again....
This and the rest of lyrics recognisable to anyone? 
Thought a London accent would be appropriate anyway.

LYRICS
I like to wake up slow
Have a nice cup of tea
Sitdown and read a book
take it nice and easy
But then I start to wonder what time it could be

Oh Fuck! It's 12 o' clock!
I'm gonna be late!
Just my fucking luck!

Well fuck! It's just my luck!
I'm stuck! With a mind
that likes to Fuck me over! Fuck me over!

Sit down, take a deep breath.
It's over now the damage has been done.
Your troubles have gone.
Sit down, chill out, take it easy.
It was to be expected. You just have to accept it.

When I come home,
can't wait to take of my shoes and
hang up my coat
and grab a cold brewski
sit in my comfy chair
and just start to stare 
at the tv screen
there's nothing in between

But then I hear the ticking of the clock.
And I already, start to feel fucked.
I'm scared to see what time it is...
"Oh God, you've got to be taking the fucking piss!!"

Well fuck! It's just my luck!
I'm stuck! With a mind
that likes to Fuck me over! Fuck me over!

Calm down dear,
there's nothing to fear
Things always could be worse
and in this universe
we're terribly small
sogo and fuck it all
don't worry

When I'm lying in bed
thoughts running through my head
then it dawns on me
that this is just me
it's the way that I am
eggs, bacon and spam
and I don't give a damn
if I miss my exam

Because fuck! It's just my luck!
That I'm stuck! With a mind
that likes to Fuck me over! Fuck me over!

Well fuck! It's just my luck!
I'm stuck! With a mind
that likes to Fuck me over! Fuck me over!

Just My Luck

THE MAN WHO FLEW Lyrics

There was a man who believed he could fly
He longed to join the birds so high in the sky
There was a man who dedicated his life
Reaching out to the heavens, trying to get high
 
Oooh, the choices he made
Oooh, he was not afraid
Oooh, the steps that he took
Oooh, and all the earth shook

There was a man, who had a great dream
That showed him the way, to build a machine
There was a man who longed to be free
The machine showed him the way of how he coul be.

Oooh, the choices were made
Oooh, he was not afraid
Oooh, the steps that he took
Oooh, all the heads shook  
 
There was a man who would not listen
To others' advice, cause he was in bliss and
So he kept on chasing  his dream, his desire
Little did he know, it was about to catch fire

Oooh, the machine is built
Oooh, his dream fullfilled
Oooh, all seemed so well
Oooh, the sound of the bell

He carried the contraption catching everyone's eye
And all the people knew, some started to cry.
One step closer to the edge of the earth
Doing what he was meant to, from the moment of birth

There was man who leapt of a cliff
risking it all, not even sure if
He could even fly, but he was gonna try
Nothing was worse than having wasted his life

Oooh, he flew like a dove
Oooh, to the heavens above
Oooh, he's gone up somehow
Oooh, he's still up there now

The Man Who Flew

THE SACRIFICES WE MAKE Lyrics:

I'm standing a field of landmines
The enemy is somewhere near
But if one should go off beside me 
I wouldnt even hear

Ive been deafened by the noise of the fight 
Paralysed and broken by fear
And as I inhale the fumes and smoke
I forget, what am I doing here?

I'm a long way from home
And don't know how long I can go - on
They're making me stay
And I want to get away

I try to hold your head up
Despite the exhaustion wearing me down
I want tell you you'll be alright
But I can't make the sound

The peace has come over you
And you stare blankly into the sky
I collapse in fatigue
Unprepared to say goodbye 

You were a long way from home
And no longer can go on, no
You have gone away
But I live to fight another day

The Sacrifices We Make

This is a Mexican flavoured, Dutch song about having a hangover.

CATÉR Lyrics:
Iek heb en catér.
Iek heb en catér.
Waarom heb iek gistér zovél jedronkén?

Iek dronk jén watér.
Iek dronk jén watér.
Vodka, Cerveza, Tequilla, Corona!

Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Au au au au au au au
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai main hoofjé dut pain.
 
Iek heb en catér.
Iek heb en catér.
Waarom heb iek gistér zovél jedronkén?
 
Kwiel ibruprofén. 
Kwiel ibruprofén.
Paracetemol of ‘n aspirientje mag ook wél!

Catér

A nicely paced country song.

Lyrics:
As I walk through vivid dreams, 
it follows me through eternity. 
Dorment in my soul, 
it waits for me so causiously. 
Dark logic taking over, 
burrowed deep in side my mind.  
It whispers tainted thoughts, 
leave humankind behind.

Hmmm
my mind is stalling, but I gotta keep strolling on.
Hmmm
I'm breaking down, but I gotta keep going on.

"Ain't got no place to hide, 
so I panic and I scream. 
Someone wake me up, 
oh please let it be a dream. 
No lucid train of thoughts, 
fogg confines my sanity. 
Taunting memories, 
mislead my rationality."

Someone please help me! Let me open my eyes!
It's reaching out to get me. Will this be my demise?
I won't be dragged back down again. *I won't go back again.
No, I don't care what is real, please just let it end. Oh no

Waking up,* bound in darkness,
see it slowly fade away
Gloom withdraws, demons gone,
I live to see another day
The lights come on, but no one's home
I feel ashamed and so alone
When suddenly I hear the words:
"You're gonna be okay."

Nocturnal - Jack of all Trades & Brother

A little anthem for Jerry. He needs our support. Besides, don't we all have a little jerry somewhere inside of us? 
(Inspired by a Rick & Morty episode where Jerry's in a car listening to 'Earth Radio' to a song called 'Human Music'.)
