lyrics
It wasn’t at all like in the movies, didn’t go as singers proclaim
My bird just flew off and my friend ate all of the bread.
My beer just sat quietly in the glass, I saw from a distance how she just left, into thin air, out the door, there’s times for winning and losing.
Now, what do I know? What have I got here? These days I just spend my time growing my beard out.
It’s gone from short boxed to clean shaven and back several times,
I keep screwing up easy recipes, I live out of sync and now the air’s turning green… I walk in heavy rain and pull the garden pots out on the street.
Give me a reason, I need something to hold onto. Something to change things for the better,..
I used to be all ‘bout death or glory; then I let go and got stuck between delusions
At Beatles-age, can’t find my place, I want to be like Kenny B,
A walk in the park, my shadow’s long and slim, the bus window gives me thicker beard and smooth skin. At very reasonable fare, I got to taste a little from freedom!
I’ve nothing to say, no stories to tell; I hardly explore or experience any new things.
It’s not that I don’t want to try, I think, but I’m idly consumed
There’s a TV programme on Barcelona, I put it on but all it shows me is Suárez in HD; a bird sits outside in a tree, and my guitar’s in the corner.
Give me a reason, I need something to hold onto. I want to change things for the better,..
My bird just flew off and my friend ate all of the bread.
My beer just sat quietly in the glass, I saw from a distance how she just left, into thin air, out the door, there’s times for winning and losing.
Now, what do I know? What have I got here? These days I just spend my time growing my beard out.
It’s gone from short boxed to clean shaven and back several times,
I keep screwing up easy recipes, I live out of sync and now the air’s turning green… I walk in heavy rain and pull the garden pots out on the street.
Give me a reason, I need something to hold onto. Something to change things for the better,..
I used to be all ‘bout death or glory; then I let go and got stuck between delusions
At Beatles-age, can’t find my place, I want to be like Kenny B,
A walk in the park, my shadow’s long and slim, the bus window gives me thicker beard and smooth skin. At very reasonable fare, I got to taste a little from freedom!

about
Roy de Smet The Netherlands
Roy de Smet's music is present-day minded and written in its own right, making it a unique addition to the existing, rich songwriter tradition. As a songwriter, De Smet does not feel comfortable in safety. Hence, he prefers finding himself in a blizzard of intertextual references and exotic recipes, over riding on a midnight train between two much sung-about American cities. ... more
