A Message from John Cleese to the citizens of the United States of America:
In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.
Ik ben vanacht laat thuisgekomen na weer zo’n 3 maanden op het olieplatform te hebben doorgebracht. We moesten het platform verlaten i.v.m. hevige weersomstandigheden. (Nu eerst een weekje thuis, dan weer terug). Onderweg naar Nederland draaide onze chauffeur een CD van de uitvinders van de ‘palingsound’, The Cats. Ik heb genoten en wist niet dat Piet Veerman en zijn dorpsgenoten zoveel bekende (en naar mijn mening) mooie liedjes hebben gemaakt. Hieronder een kleine selectie..
Four letter word just to get me along
It’s a difficulty and i’m biting on my tongue and I
I keep stalling, keeping me together
People around gotta find something to say now
Holding back, everyday the same
Don’t wanna be a loner
Listen to me, oh no
I never say anything at all
But with nothing to consider they forget my name
(ame, ame, ame)
They call me ‘hell’
They call me ‘Stacey’
They call me ‘her’
They call me ‘Jane’
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
They call me ‘quiet girl’
But i’m a riot
Maybe ‘Joleisa’
Always the same
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
I miss the catch if they throw me the ball
I’m the last kid standing up against the wall
Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring
Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now
So alone all the time at night
Lock myself away
Listen to me, i’m not
Although i’m dressed up, out and all with
Everything considered they forget my name
(ame, ame, ame)
They call me ‘hell’
They call me ‘Stacey’
They call me ‘her’
They call me ‘Jane’
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
They call me ‘quiet girl’
But i’m a riot
Maybe ‘Joleisa’
Always the same
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
