The "Musiekfabriek" CD Lyrics

Why do you build me up buttercup baby just to let me down
And mess me around and then worst of all
You never call baby when you say you will
But I love you still, I need you,
More than anything darling,
You know that I have from the start
So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart

I need you more than everyone darling
You know that I have from the start so build me up
Buttercup and don't break my heart
So build me up buttercup don't break my heart

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her loved one look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her then she starts
Looking for things that'll break his heart

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

All I want to do when I wake up in the morning
Is to see your eyes,
Rosanna Rosanna
Never thought that a girl like you
could ever care for me, Rosanna
All I want to do in the middle of the evening
Is hold you tight,
Rosanna Rosanna
I didn't know you would look for more
than I could ever be

Not quite a year since she went away,
Rosanna yeah
Now she's gone and I have to say

Meet you all the way
Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way
Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way
Rosanna yeah,
Meet you all the way
Rosanna yeah, Rosanna yeah, Rosanna yeah

O ek wil huistoe gaan na mama toe
Die rivier is vol my trane rol
'n bokkie wat vanaand by my wil lê
sy kan maar lê ek is 'n loslappie.

O ek wil huistoe gaan na mama toe
Die rivier is vol my trane rol
'n bokkie wat vanaand by my wil lê
sy kan maar lê ek is 'n loslappie.

Ek wens ek het die vlerke soos 'n arend
Dan vlieg ek maar vir ewig oor die see
Dan vlieg ek na die arms van my moeder
En daar sal ek bly tot die dood

O ek wil huistoe gaan na mama toe
Die rivier is vol my trane rol
'n bokkie wat vanaand by my wil lê
sy kan maar lê ek is 'n loslappie.

Talk to me tell me your name
You blow me off like it's all the same
You lit a fuse and now I'm tickin' away
Like a bomb
Yeah baby

Well if lady luck gets on my side
were gonna rock this town alive
I'll let her rough me up till she knocks me out
'cause she walks like she talks and she talks like she walks
she bangs she bangs
O baby when she moves she moves
I go crazy 'cause she looks like a flower
but she stings like a bee
like every girl in history

She bangs she bangs
wasted by the way she moves she moves
No one ever looks so fine
She reminds me that a woman's got a thing on her mind

Hard soos kameeldoring hout ja hard is ons land
en droog o so droog sy riviere

Die son het die klippe en die klippe gebrand
in veld en in bos skuil die diere

As iemand nou aan jou sou vra
wat bind my aan die gewes
dan kan ek net sê ja
my hart kies Suidwes

O ek onthou na baie jare
al het die tyd ver aangestap
en ek verlang na vroeë dae
net ek en jy daar in die Vreemde
Daar was 'n glimlag in jou oë
en daar was liefde in my hart
jou donker oë het my laat glo
in ons geluk daar in die vreemde

Ek hoor die lied van die kitare
diep in die somersnag weerklink
en signoritas Dans 'n laaste Spaanse dans
dans op die maat van kastannette

Ek hoor die lied van die ki kitare
diep in die somersnag weerklink
en signoritas
Dans 'n laaste Spaanse dans
dans op die maat van kastannette

Ek hou van jou Ek's lief
vir jou ek kan nie sonder jou bestaan nie

Ek sien jou in my drome
maar nou is als verlore
ek sal my lewe gee 'n oomblik net ons twee

Ek hou van jou
ek's mal oor jou
ek kan nie lewe in 'n wêreld sonder jou

Aai sakukula sakukula
Natee phata phata
Aai sakukula sakukula
Natee phata phata

A aeeo baba baba
A aeeo baba baba
A aeeo baba baba
A aeeo baba baba

When I am down and oh my soul's so weary
When troubles come And my heart burdened be

Then I am still and wait here in the silence
untill you come and sit a while with me

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains.
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas.

I am strong when I am on your shoulders.
You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas.

I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be.

Ek soek jou in my wynglas
Ek soek jou in my dop
Jy loop hier rond in my kop
Ek soek jou bietjie hier
Ek soek jou bietjie daar
Maar waar is jy my Bok?

Staan net 'n bietjie stil
Ek wil jou vra
Staan net 'n bietjie stil
Hoe gaan dit met jou ma?

Ek soek jou in my burger
Ek soek jou in my bun
Jy maak my knieë lam
Ek lief jou in die more
Ek lief jou in die aand
Maar waar was jy gist'raand?

Staan net 'n bietjie stil
Ek wil jou vra
Staan net 'n bietjie stil
Hoe gaan dit met jou ma?
Hoe gaan dit met jou ma?
Hoe gaan dit met jou ma?

Ek ken 'n ou ou liedjie
Van lewens wel en weë
Van lang vergange skepe
In die kelders van die see

Die woorde is vergete
En tog die deuntjie draal
Soos vaag bekende grepies in
'n baie ou verhaal
Van swerwers sonder rigting
van soekers wat nooit vind
En eindelik was almal daar
Net kinders van die wind

Ou ryperd ons loop die pad tesame
Ou ryperd so deur die lewensbane
Wanneer jou rydag oor is
Gaan jou lyf lekker rus
Jy ou ryperd van my

Jippie jippie jip
Jippe jippe jip
My perd
daar is voer en rus en jy doen jou bes my perd

Dra my oor die rivier se brug
Dra my op jou lekker ou rug
Ouy ryperd van my

Just got home from Illinois
Lock the front door oh boy
Got to set down take a rest on the porch
Magination sets in pretty soon I'm singin'
Door door door lookin' out my back door

Giant doin' cart wheels
A statue wearing high heels
at all the happy creatures dancing on and on
Dinosaur victrola listenin' to Buck Owen
Doot doot doot lookin' out my back door

Tambourines and elefants are playin' in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon
doot doo doo doo
Wonderous app'rition provided by magician
Doot doot doot lookin' out my back door

Left a good job in the city
Workin for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin
Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river

Well I guess it would be nice
if I could touch your body
I know not evry body
has got a body like you
But I've gotto think twice
before I give my heart away
and I know all the games you play
because I play them too

Oh but I need some time off
from that emotion
time to pick my heart up off the floor
But when that love comes down
without devotion
well it takes a strong man babe
but I'm showing you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
'cause I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith faith faith

Daar's 'n land aan suiderkant kom deel in sy verhale
uit die ooste weste noorde suide toegebring
Dis 'n land met milde hand wat uitreik telkemale
om die hoop van more te besing

Dis 'n land van kleure en klank
dis 'n land van oorvloed en dank
dis 'n land waar almal na strewe
Dis 'n land sonder horison en
dis 'n land wat weet hy kan
ook 'n blyplek neerlê vir my

Dis 'n land van kleure en klank
dis 'n land van oorvloed en dank
dis 'n land waar almal na strewe
Dis 'n land sonder horison en
dis 'n land wat weet hy kan
ook 'n blyplek neerlê vir my
ook 'n blyplek neerlê vir my

Ek soek nou al vir jare lank na haar
met 'n honger hart wat net nie wil bedaar nie
sy't my wakker wêreld skoon deurmekaar gemaak
dan droom ek ook nog elke aand van haar.

Hierdie is 'n liedjie net vir jou droomvrou
en ek sing dit, ja ek sing dit net vir jou
En ek hoop as jy dit hoor sal jy onthou droomvrou
dat ek jare lank gesoek het net na jou.

Hoor hoe brom die wind om ons huis vanaand
hoor hoe brom die wind om ons huis
Varkies in die bone ons bou trippe trappe trone
hoor hoe brom die wind om ons huis

En ek kan rock in my taal
ek maak amok in my taal
en ek kan spog in my taal
ja ek kan rock in my taal
ek is so bly in my taal
ek kan verlei deur my taal
en ek kan vry in my taal
ja ek kan rock in my taal

We´ll get some overhead lifters and some four barrel quads oh yeah
(Keep talking whoa keep talking)
a fuel injection cutoff and chrome plated rods oh yeah
(I'll get the money I'll kill to get the money)
with a four speed on the floor
they'll be waiting at the door
you know that ain't no shit
we'll be getting lots of tit in Grease Lightning

(go go go go go go go go go go go)

Go grease lightning you're burning up the Quater mile

Go grease lightning you're coastng through the heat lap trail

I got on the phone and called the girls said
meet me down at curly pearls for a
ney nah neh nah
in my high heeled shoes and fancy fads i
ran down the stairs halled me a cab going
ney nah neh nah nah neh nah
ney nah neh nah nah neh nah

When I pushed the door i saw eleanor and
mary lou swinging on the floor going
ney nah neh nah
sue came in in a silk sarong she
walzed across as they played that song going
ney nah neh nah nah neh nah
ney nah neh nah nah neh nah
ney nah neh nah nah neh nah

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Dream a little dream of me

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
Then maybe at the closing of your day;
You will sit and watch the moonrise over Claddagh,
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay,

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream,
The women in the meadows making hay;
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin,
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play,
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin,
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

I am what I am
I don't want praise I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am
I am what I am

As die nag sy baadtjie toe knoop oor die veld
En die diere riem sy blink tot teen die skerpieon laat lê
As die tweeling en die kreef kot tel jons oor Beaufort-Wes
En die maan sy beker skink oor Graaf Reinett, ruik jy Kat bosen kambroo as dit reën in die Klein Karoo
My hantam wind my op tel kind vanaand

Ruik jy katbos en kambroo as dit reën in die klein karoo
My hantam wind my op tel kind vanaand
Kind vanaand

Daars 'n plek wat ek van weet
Sonder sorge sonder pyn sonder leed
Die pad daar heen is ongekaart
Die reis daar heen is sonder vaart
En daar is rus plek langs die pad.

En hier sal jy vind dat jy steed deur die oê van 'n kind
Die lewens spel speel granate van onskuld kan deel
Om weer vir 'n oomblik die kennis van kwaad te ontken
Om weer te kan glo wat jy het is 'n gawe van bo
'n gawe van bo

Ek wens ek was die skaduwee wat aan jou voete rus
Daar sou ek droomloos sluimer te vreden gerus

As drome tog net naaste by
'n dagbreek by 'n mens kon bly
want die lewe bly herinner wat jy kry is dikwels minder
maar sê nou bly 'n lekker sê want alles wat 'n mens wil hê
kry jy daarmee em soms meer ja dikwels ook 'n bietjie seer

Sien jou weer op 'n straat hoek eendag weer
Sien jou weer, maar tot dat dit gebeur
onthou my, ja onthou as die een wat jou altyd sal lief hê

Sien jou weer langs 'n in Parys
Sien jou weer maar tot ons paadjies kruis
onthou my, ja onthou as die een wat jou altyd sal lief hê

Wie's ons om te bepaal
Wiet gewen wiet gefaal wie kan tog
Wie kan tog sê waar die antwoord dan lê

Die Panorama was 'n drive in waar 'n mens nog kon hoor
Hoe die shadows en die Venture 'n cherry kon bekoor
Daar was cokes in die kafee 'n masjien vir popcorn ook
Daar was 'n jukebox en 'n pouse waar jy Lucky's kon rook
Ja 'n drie en sestig Plymouth met white walls en vinne
'n kalm chev gear box vynal seats binne daar's 'n knop
op die stuur-wiel nes die knop in jou broek

As sy bobbysox dra is sy net wat jy soek
In die drie en sestig Plymouth met sy whitewalls en vinne
Word 'n seun gou 'n man

Ja 'n drie en sestig Plymouth met white walls en vinne
'n kalm chev gear box vynal seats binne daar's 'n knop
op die stuur-wiel nes die knop in jou broek
As sy bobbysox dra is sy net wat jy soek
In die drie en sestig Plymouth met sy whitewalls en vinne
Word 'n seun gou 'n man

Lets get loud, lets get loud
Turn the music up lets do it
Come on people,
Lets get loud, lets get loud
Turn the music up to hear that sound
Lets get loud
Lets get loud
Ain't nobody got to tell you what you got to do If you want to live your life
Live it all the way and don't you waste it
Every feeling every beat
Can be so very sweet you got to taste it

You got to do it,
You got to do it your way
You got to prove it
You got to mean what you say

You got to do it,
You got to do it your way
You got to prove it
You got to mean what you say

Lets get loud, lets get loud
Turn the music up to hear that sound
Lets get loud, lets get loud
Ain't nobody got to tell you
What you got to do

Lookin out on the morning train
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Oh it made me feel so tired

Before the day I met you
Love was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind

'Cause you made me feel
you made me feel
You made me feel like a natural woman
You made me feel, you made me feel
You made me feel like a natural woman

You made me feel, you made me feel
You made me feel like a natural woman

I'll make it alone
When love is gone
Still you made your mark
Here in my heart

One day I'll fly away leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me
When will love be through with me

Does he love me I wanna know
How can I tell if he loves me so

Is it in his eyes
Oh no you'll be deceived
Is it in his sighs
Oh no you'll make believe
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh yeah
Or is it in his face
Oh no it's just his charms
in his warm embrace
Oh no that's just his arms
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Oh oh oh hug him
And squeeze him tight
Find out what you wanna know
If it's love if it really is
It's in his kiss
about the way he acts
oh no it's not the way
And you're not listening to all I say
And if you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Its in his kiss

Desmond has his barrow in the market place
Molly is a singer in the band
Desmond says Molly "Girl I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand
Obladi ab-la-da life goes on la how love goes on
Obladi ab-la-da life goes on bra la how the love goes on

Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweller's store
Buys a twenty carrat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing

Obladi ab-la-da life goes on la how love goes on
Obladi ab-la-da life goes on bra la how the love goes on

La la life goes
La la life goes
La la how their life goes on

Dis na soveel jare
En sy vra na my
Kyk ek kam my hare
En ek vat die trein na Margate
Trein na Margate toe

Na soveel jare
Staan ek nog hier
En ek tel die karre
Maar sy kom nie na my toe
Nie na my toe nie

Die bloubul eet nie van die vloer af nie
Die bloubul weet nie van verloor af nie
Die bloubul sukkel nie sy roer af nie
Nou vra jy my vir wie ek skree

Ek skree nie WP nie ek bly 'n bul
Ek skree nie OP nie ek bly 'n bul
Ek skree nie Vrystaat nie ek bly 'n bul
Laat staan die Sharks en die Leeus en die hele blerrie spul

Die bloubul eet nie van die vloer af nie
Die bloubul weet nie van verloor af nie
Die bloubul sukkel nie sy roer af nie
Nou vra jy my vir wie ek skree

Marconi plays the mambo
