I want you to know me
I want you to show me your love
even when itÆs hard to talk about the night
youæve got before, believe me
Take me in your heart, please row me
to another place, another world and show me
how nice it can be to see a new country rising
while itÆs easy here to stay but it Æs so hard to do
When you come to tell me I like you man
and I love you, I believe
when you canÆt talk and you canÆt even say
a single word I believe
When you say that your best friend is gone
so far away from here, I believe
and when I hear people talking æbout plans of
working together soon, I believe
The other night when I was talking to my friend
I said: believe me, I wasnÆt far from death when I lived in the hotel
the only thing that he could do was take me in his arms
and love me and kiss me and show me the difference between
friendship and love but there is none
It will always be the same thing when youÆre watching people
doing different things and you realize that youære on your own
the only thing that you can do is understand and make
your wish come true:
to do what you always had in your little mind
and to do what you wanna do æcause thatÆs what you have to do
I want you to know me
I want you to show me your love

B1 Would you
Previously released on None Of Them Are Green (1983)
Jo Bogaert: vocals, guitars, bass, synth, drums, percussion, piano, Linndrum, lyrics
and arrangements
IÆve been worrying all day, building up this wall
In this bloody situation, I donÆt feel good at all
Would you make me feel, some more at ease
Would you make me be a better man than I am
Would you walk with me in the woods, would you run away
Would you talk with me about things I love to talk about
Would you be one of those, who abandon me
Would you be one of those who do not care at all
I believe in you, I believe, I believe in you
And I shouldnÆt do
I believe in you, I believe, I believe in you
æCause I need to
Would you tie my hands and cut my tongue
Detain me in your memory
Would you go around and tell everybody
that IÆm not the one they once knew
Would you be one of those who abandon me again and again
Would you be one of those, one of those I forget
I believe in you, I believe, I believe in you
And I shouldnÆt do
I believe in you, I believe, I believe in you
æCause I need to

IÆm down, now she has changed herself again
And IÆm waiting for the same thing all over again
My friend she said: itÆs been so cold
IÆve been looking for fire I cannot find
My friend she said : itÆs been so cold, itÆs been so cold
You realize, IÆm calling her name
You realize
ItÆs always the same, she wants to be downhearted
Then draws her body, she fullfills it all
She drags up, itÆs so obscene
You see the years go by, roll by and roll down
Still hanging, why did I fall
ItÆs only her, itÆs only her
You realize, IÆm calling
You realize
IÆm down, now sheÆs changed herself again
And IÆm waiting for the same all over gain
My friend she said: I was blinded and I couldnÆt hear
My friend she said: itÆs been so cold, itÆs been so cold
WeÆve been fighting, weÆve been hiding ourselves
We æve been running, weÆve changing ourselves
WeÆve been running, weÆve been running
WeÆve been running, running, running, running
I canÆt break through these emotions
I canÆt live in these hours of hate
I believe everything she told here
At last I face my faith
Why should I fall, why should I fall
Why should I fall
I say things about love I donÆt believe in
I say things I donÆt believe at all
IÆll go free, IÆll go faster,
Finally I will go free
I will finally go free
