As We Speak
Music by Ono Idiot
Words by Bart Hedebouw
There it is again
it creeps up on me
He slowly puts himself up
in his worn-out seat
The engine sputters
it's a nasty cough
You can never get used to that sound
he heaves his head
eyes speak of pain
at last he mutters some words
It is in the details surrounding you
they predict how this will end
put your hands in the ground
and you will find out
there 's more down there
that wants to come out
He takes out a map and he points somewhere
I lean over, I hear "you take me there"
Arms around me I lift him out of the car
He than slowly stumbles away from me
at the bank he stops and turns around
and speaks as loud as he can
you can only get to know it
by getting it all wrong
there' s always more
behind the things you 're looking at
do not come to nothing
make something of yourself
and then he slowly drifts away
I can only get to know it
by getting it all wrong
I put my hands in the ground
and I will find out

No Mercy in Kindness
Music by Ono Idiot
Words by Bart Hedebouw & Gerrit Degeest
Oh my sweet country
You know it’s a lie
Sweet things like sugar
Always pass me by
I hope that those sirens
Keep far, far away
I know that I’m in trouble
It’s you, I can’t stay
The door just won’t close
Piled up my goods in front
When they come and take me
I guess it won’t hold
A jacket full of guild
I’m my own refugee
Sweet things like sugar
Just won’t happen to me
I’m an awfully good sinner
But I never meant to be
Well I had to put her down
And move to number three
When the building blocks they rise
6 feet under won’t suffice
Well sweet things like sugar
Will never happen to me

Tiny Feelings
Music by Ono Idiot
Words by Bart Hedebouw
Should stop painting it black
but the shades hide the colour
She talked me into this
without saying a word
And who's keeping the score
now my troops are on the move
know your suits and your numbers
end with the ace of hearts
I made her feel needed
said she's a picture of grace
it was a ransom scene
(now) that I know
Come on we drive out
let your hair hang down
let's get up that hill
and howl to the moon
Chorus:
It can be so ordinary
to this little adversary
it will take a quaternary
to get her into the sanctuary of fools
I have promised you to
become a man of value
now I'll get my due
sometime later
And that is quite alright and
you know that it is
not to feel sorry
for the things that you do
Chorus

White Light
Music by Ono Idiot
Words by Bart Hedebouw
You thought that it meant forever
‘till the door slammed in your face
(You’re) banging the wheel and breathing fast
Driving out of this crazy town
Standing deep in a cold and blue ocean
Wondering where it all went wrong
Why didn’t you steal it to get it all for free
All the talking would have kept you strong
But it’s all right, it’s okay
It’s all right, it’s okay
You let your doubt float away on the water
Put all that makes you tick into the bag
No one will ever know what really happened
‘till you’re long, long gone
It’s all right, it’s okay
It’s all right, it’s okay
From the flowers in your hand
To the whispered promise in her ear
To that shimmering white light
She will always, always forgive you
