Rhea
Something’s gotten over me
My world’s gone upside down
And there’s no single remedy
Only you can make it turn around
Rhea don’t you ever set me free
Don’t take away the love I found
I just need to see your face
To make my whole world right
I just want your sweet embrace
And feel you close to me at night
Rhea
Let me shower you with love
Rhea
I’ll be there when times are rough
Rhea
We maybe living oh so many miles apart
You’re locked inside the prison of my heart
Loving you comes naturally
It’s all I wanna do
You changed the man I used to be
Into someone I never knew
But would you ever think of leaving me
You know I won’t get over you
I just need to see your face
To make my whole world right
I just want your sweet embrace
And feel you close to me at night
Chorus repeat

Because I…
A different state of mind
A blessing of some kind
Defying all laws, simply
Because I love you
The challenge looming large
I longed to be in charge
No time to pause, simply
Because I love you
So now I see when I agreed
I didn’t know the why
And feeling like a different breed
I liked the lie
Petrified
A different state of mind
A blessing of some kind
Defying all laws, simply
Because I love you
So now I see when I agreed
I didn’t know the why
And feeling like a different breed
I liked the lie
Petrified
The demons from the past
I conquered them last
Need no applause, simply
Because I love you
A different state of mind
A blessing of some kind
Ironing all flaws, simply
Because I love you
Yes I love you
How I love you

Turbulence
Watching the meters
Steering through a clear blue sky
But all of a sudden
Emerging in the corner of your eye
Someone zeroes in on you
And she’s looking pretty mad
She’s just too close for comfort
You’d better hold on to your hat
What you see is what you get
And I can see some turbulence ahead
What you see is what you get
There’s gonna be some turbulence ahead
No more excuses
You’re running out of places to hide
You ain’t going nowhere
She’s gonna take you for a bumpy ride
Your engine starts to overheat
Your meter’s in the red
She’s targeting your conscience
While you were aiming for her bed
What you see is what you get
And I can see some turbulence ahead
What you see is what you get
You’ve really got some turbulence ahead
Chorus repeat

Before The Angels Fell
A small wooden cross
The fragile and silent reminder
Of innocence lost
Now gathering dust in a room
That time has forgotten
Too many ifs
And too many questions
To any given answer
Too many why’s
And too little reason
You stumble and you fall
Feeling nothing at all
Everything looks fine in this neighbourhood
The streets are clean and life is good
There’s a school and several stores
The big bad world seems far away
In the park where all the children play
Their mimicry of wars
And who’s to tell
Which house was built
With mortar of mercy and guilt
What stone would hide the poisoned well
The day before the angels fell
In this city of steel
The skin feels like melted down iron
Where guns are for real
And love’s just a deal on the street
No one cares to remember
Too many ifs
And too many questions
To any given answer
Too many why’s
And too little reason
With your head against the wall
You’re going nowhere at all
He’s a plastic man
With a drastic plan
He’s got a wife and three kids
He’s a bore, she’s a bitch
Got a job that sucks
Selling carpets and rugs
That nobody wants to buy
Now plastic man’s
Got a fictional friend
With a fictional face
But a deadly embrace
That he’s felt before
So he locks the door
And he’s gonna cast the die
There’s no way out
There’s no way back
If the glass will show
Just a hairline crack
He’ll be watching bullets fly
But plastic man
Overplayed his hand
He’s got to raise the stakes
Or slam on the brakes
He’s got a busy mind
That’s working overtime
Between the cheater and the lie
There’s no way out
There’s no way back
He’s got to bend down low
With the killer in his eye
Love and manipulation
Are two different doors
Both will promise salvationv But in different floors
To avoid confrontation
There’s a thin line of trust
Such a weak separation
When the line’s drawn by lust
Breaking every connection
To the child he once was
When his only protection
Was a small wooden cross
Something has changed in the neighbourhood
Where the streets were clean and life was good
They’ve closed the school and stores
The big bad world has found its way
To the park, where children used to play
That now are kept indoors
The papers sell
Their tales of grief
Claiming anger and sheer disbelief
About the man they thought they knew so well
The day before the angels fell
In this city of glass
The heart’s tied to strings of desire
To memories passed
To secrets amassed in the house
That time had forgotten
But too many ifs
And too many questions
To any given answer
Too many why’s
And too little reason
For dreams beyond recall
Once and for all
Look at the father
Look at the son
If one is the other
Thy will be done
The story no one lived to tell
About the day the angels fell…

Breaking The News
Nine o’clock, a man in a chair
Just another assessment, a smile and a stare
Please understand it’s out of my hands
Could you sign there
You must have known the spiral went down
You were falling behind and your colleagues would frown
Surely you saw your failure, your flaw
You’re through in this town
One line ready for use
Not to worry, said I’m sorry
Why do I feel like I’m breaking the news
Home at last, the day has been long
Honey, you must have sensed your intentions were wrong
Focused on lust, buried the trust
It made you feel strong
Your innocence died before it was born
I had never intended our love to be torn
‘till death do us part, a pledge from the heart
To that I’d have sworn
Just one line ready for use
Not to worry, said I’m sorry
Why do I feel like I’m breaking the news
One more line ready for use
Not to worry, said I’m sorry
Why do I feel like I’m breaking the news
There’s no hurry, said I’m sorry
One line to use and there’s no excuse
I thought it was obvious
No mistake, no break, we’re past give and take
Truth unfolds before us
Just one line ready for use…
Chorus repeat

For All The Wrong Reasons
You’ve been living inside this heart of mine
As if it were your own
You wanted love, while all you needed was (just) time
And I was tired of being alone
I was a fool, and didn’t want to see
That the seed of doubt was sown
I was mistaken, and you’ve been loving me
For all the wrong reasons
Sometimes the truth is just a little hard to face
But there was nowhere I could hide
It kept creeping up on me in many ways
Then came too close to be denied
One of these days I will have set you free
But until the time is right
I’ll forget that you’ve been loving me
For all the wrong reasons
Words & music: Ton Scherpenzeel
Under The Radar
We met on neutral ground, but before I knew
Your troops would take my heart in annexation
We called it love but now I’d best compare it to
Some kind of military operation
You came and conquered, but you also made me pay
Good old Red Baron versus Enola Gay Flying
Under the radar
Can’t see you come or go
You’ve got to let me know
Sooner or later
Under the radar
Please report to flight control
Just pick up the phone and call
They said your love was known to quickly disappear
Well, you really lived up to your reputation
But even so, I never thought you’d leave me here
In such a sorry state of devastation
My screen is empty, you’re impossible to track
It’s only green with envy, but all the rest stays black
You’re flying
Under the radar
You’re flying way too low
You’ve got to let me know
Sooner or later
Under the radar
Please report to flight control
All you got to do is call
I’m looking at the runway, waiting for your plane to land
Pushing all buttons, but I know I’ve lost command
You never needed my permission to take off
Sweet reckless pilot of love
Under the radar
Can’t you see come or go (you’re really way too low)
You’ve got to let me know
Sooner or later
Under the radar
If you want to save my soul
Just pick up the phone and call
Words & music: Ton Scherpenzeel
Hard Work
The choices I have made
They dictate the life I lead
Firmly entangled
Why can’t life leave me be
This life is hard work
With every battle beaten twice
Day in, day out
Hope to defeat life, get a little more wise
Hard work,
Life is searching art work
You only have to live life
To meet the world in which we feel it’s
Hard work
Nothing’s coming up
There’s no magic in the air
Silence surrounds me
With nobody left to care
I only want tot rest
No thinking what will be
Just trust the good times
Leaving the past behind me, in the waves of the sea
Chorus repeat
Just walk through life
Don’t even think twice
Hear your heart beating clockwise
Or you’re gonna have to pay its price
Don’t be controlled by the
Hard work
Chorus repeat
