The Faeries And The Foxes

Lyrics:

You're in my woods, you're at my door
Your spirit haunts me ever more
You're all ashade, you wear a veil
Your spirit stalks me on the trail
Safe but concerning
Joyous disturbing
Ever confusing
I fear what I'm losing

In the heat of the night, you become clear
You're gone and yet somehow you're near
In the heat of the night, you have no fear
I hear your breath and feel you're here

All black, all black
Can I never backtrack? 
All black, all black
Leave me for the wolf pack

You're all in fang, you snap and bite
Your spirit stalks me through the night
Your time to shine, or is it mine?
Your spirit haunts me all the time
Dark but exciting
Painful inviting
Ever confusing
I fear what I'm choosing

In the dark of the night, you're always clear
I know you're gone but sense you're near
In the dark of the night, you have no fear
I hear your breath and feel you're here

All black, all black
Can I never backtrack?
All black, all black
Leave me for the wolf pack

Wolf Pack

Lyrics:

Poke and prod
Go ahead and threaten
Do as you will
You're the one sweatin
I'll endure your dark oppression
I'll endure the night
You can't touch me, you don't know me
It'll be set right

Sneer and scoff
Now the gloves are coming off
You'll hem and haw
Now I've got you in my claw, you fool
Your not a fire
Your a flash in the pan
You know I won't stop subverting you
It's my time to take the upper hand

The heat is getting to you
You started feeling hazy
Better back off now
You don't wanna see me crazy
Time you really learned your lesson
Time you learn your place
You can't touch me, you don't know me
You don't know my pace

Sneer and scoff
Now the gloves are coming off
You'll hem and haw
Now I've got you in my claw, you fool
Your not a fire
Your a flash in the pan
You know I won't stop subverting you
It's my time to take the upper hand

The Upper Hand

Getting sick of these sleepless nights
Can't get a hold of myself, can't get a hold of my life
I'm dizzy this summer, beat down
It isn't just from the heat
Summer's a time when heat and heartbreak meet

And it was you
It was your spark I saw when I began 
And it was my flame you choked when you stopped

When morning comes I'll forget you again
'Till I retire my sword, 'till I remember my pen
And after you're well known, sundown
I can't get myself unspun
Summer's a time when heat is heartbreak's gun

And it was you
It was your smile I saw when I arrived
And it was my heart you broke when you departed

And it was my flame you choked when you stopped
And it was my heart you broke when you departed

And it was my flame you choked
And it was my heart you broke

It was my flame that choked
It was my heart that broke

And it was you

Night Groove

Lyrics:

You carried me across the snow
I lived without a care
But now the summer heat has come
I feel it in the air
I saw red and left you cold
I fell for all the lies
If you might care to show yourself
A sight for these sore eyes

Do what you wanna do
I don't care about you
I don't care if you're mine
Throw me a line anytime
When will I care about you?
When will I care?
Do what you wanna do

This should be a rebel song
But I don't really care
Don't care for your rebellion
Don't care about my share
Don't care about your sympathies
Don't care for second looks
Don't care to cook a second meal
Don't care to cook the books

Do what you wanna do
I don't care about you
I don't care if you're mine
Throw me a line anytime
When will I care about you?
When will I care?
Do what you wanna do

The Books

The Books (Hot Version)

Lyrics:

All of a sudden
I found a new morning
All of a sudden
I found the sun rising

All of my burdens
Were ground into ashes
Life in the gardens
Was now full of lushness

One day I'll see it through
One day I'll know what to do
One day I will - know
Not by my skill - though
I'll feel fulfilled - though
I've gone downhill - though

Down in the darkness
The heat of a nightmare
All of my business
Cut off by the warfare

All of my words then
Were bound to expire
Night in the gardens
Was down to the wire

All of a sudden
I found a new morning
All of a sudden
I found the sun rising

All of my burdens
Were ground into ashes
Life in the gardens
Was now full of lushness

One of these one more
Run of an eastern tour
Run of the mill - show
I'm on the bill - though
I like to kill - though
I've had by fill - though

Down in the darkness
The heat of a nightmare
All of my business
Cut off by the warfare

All of my words then
Were bound to expire
Night in the gardens
Was down to the wire

Cool Summer Mornings, Hot Summer Nights

Lyrics:

Oh a moment of love at first sight
Extends through the end of the night
I know what time dawn can be
A future we needn't see

It can only be greed to hold on
I'll wrap all my heart in a song
Don't need to live through the night
I've already seen your light

More like sorrow than heartbreak
More like sweetness than joy
Like a white rose
Too delicate to breathe on
That will soon wither in the sun
The brief aroma of stillness
That sweet summer illness 
Marching through the morning
'Til it must be undone

Oh you know there's more life in a slice
A moment forever is nice
While chasing a lifetime you
Have so little time for two

You can only see skies from below
You view all the world best from home
And I think the time for we
Might be better with just me

More like sanity than reason
More like cadence than rhyme
When a white rose
A scent however subtle
Sings as sweet as the universe
The brief aroma of stillness
That sweet summer illness
Swimming through the sunshine
Until it must disperse

Sweet Summer Stillness

Lyrics:
Golden lady, golden lady
King of golden dreams
Makes me happy like she knows me
But it's not what it seems

Golden lady, golden lady
On her golden throne
Can't get my lady to stay with me
She's a rollin' stone

Golden Lady

Lyrics:

Hope still brings heat to my breaking heart
A laugh still carries you into view
At the morning's start

So I know your coolness must be
A little fly in the ointment of a fantasy
Put it all together I can see the light
Put it all together I'm a sorry sight

Waiting for the clouds to part
My eyes to see, my day to start
Until the night has left me be
With all it will impart
My life's become a sorry sight
A photo of the sun puts off no light

I'll still be chic for my shaking heart
I'll have to bury you - all in blue
I'll be torn apart

So I know the future seems to be
Unwritten all of a sudden rather sullenly
To put it back together could we end the night?
When we're not together I'm a sorry sight

Waiting for the clouds to part
My eyes to see, my day to start
Until the night has left me be
With all it will impart
My life's become a sorry sight
A photo of the sun puts off no light

A Sorry Sight

Lyrics:

I know I've rarely given you
A moment when I care
Cool and crisp and serious
A clearness like the air
Not a caring of the senses
Or of make believe
But a wakeful sort of heart
That's worn out on my sleeve

Do what you wanna do
I don't care about you
I don't care if you're mine
When will I care about you?
When will I care?
Do what you wanna do

This should be a rebel song
But I don't really care
Don't care for your rebellion
Don't care about my share
Don't care about your sympathies
Don't care for second looks
Don't care to cook a second meal
Don't care to cook the books

Do what you wanna do
I don't care about you
I don't care if you're mine
When will I care about you?
When will I care?
Do what you wanna do

Do what you wanna do
I don't care about you
I don't care if you're mine
When will I care about you?
When will I care?
Do what you wanna do

The Books (Cool Version)

Aanspoelen op een onbewoond eiland ergens in the middle of nowhere. Het is het scenario voor vijf schipbreukelingen in de toneelvoorstelling ‘Aangespoeld’ van de Sven de Ridder Company. Donderdagavond ging de komedie in première in Theater Elckerlyc in Antwerpen. De Cultuurverslaggever was er bij.

Hans Puik – 13-07-23

Het is een jubileumjaar voor de Sven De Ridder Company en er wordt dit jaar groots uitgepakt met tijdens de zomermaanden de kletsnatte komedie ‘Aangespoeld’. Het publiek maakt kennis met vijf personen aan boord van een cruiseschip. Bijvoorbeeld met Bruno De Laet (gespeeld door Peter Thyssen), een man middenin een matig huwelijk met zijn vrouw (Nele Goossens). Ze hebben al besloten te gaan scheiden, maar ze besluiten nog samen aan boord te gaan van het schip. Brik van Dyck kruipt in de huid van de kapitein (een losbol en vrouwengek) en het karakter van Juan Gerlo is die van een man die eigenlijk op cruise was met zijn ‘bomma’, maar ‘bomma’ is plots verdwenen. En dan is er ook nog Jasmine Jaspers, zij speelt op onovertroffen wijze de jonge Fleur Faes, het naïeve meisje met het sterke Limburgse accent. 
Tot zover de inzittenden van het schip. De toeschouwers maken ook al snel kennis met Robby Vercruysse (Sven de Ridder) en papegaai Piet. Holbewoner Robby blijkt al 25 jaar op een eiland te bivakkeren. Als de inzittenden van het cruiseschip schipbreuk lijden en aanspoelen op het ‘onbewoonde eiland’, ontdekken ze al snel de aanwezigheid van Robby. 

Het plot nodigt uiteraard uit voor de nodige gekkigheid en humor op het podium. Een van de meest komische momenten is als het karakter van Peter Thyssen een paddenstoel krijgt aangereikt. Daar moet hij aan ruiken om zijn snurkprobleem te overwinnen. En inderdaad, hij snurkt niet, maar daarmee is ook alles gezegd. Ook papegaai Piet zorgt voor een extra vrolijke noot, hij zegt alles wat hij denkt en is recht voor zijn raap. Het stuk is doordrenkt van grappige vondsten. ‘Aangespoeld’ is een garantie voor een vermakelijke en komische avond. 

Nog te zien in Theater Elckerlyc t/m zondag 20 augustus. Tickets voor de voorstellingen zijn te bestellen via http://www.svenderiddercompany.be/.
