The Silverfish Blues featuring Hank Dongen
Grüntyers
I’m so tired.
So very very tired.
Three in the morning aching for a wizz,
go to the toilet see the silverfish
I’m so tired.
So very very tired.
Awakenin’ out of a coma,
face to face the local zygentoma
I’m so tired.
So very very tired.
Arriving from the land of nod,
confronted by a urinal arthropod.
I’m so tired.
So very very tired.
Clearing a void in my urethra,
there they are, the nighttime bookeaters
I’m so tired.
So very very tired.
Needing a wee cos of the booze,
I just got me the silverfish blues

Stupid thing is just a flop.

I'm in love with a customer service bot.
Grüntyers
I’m in love with a customer service bot.
She’ll gladly leave me to my lot.
Say what a want she don't give a jot.
I’m in love with a customer service bot.
Cheap and cheerful for a date,
Then she leaves me to my fate.
Our relationship is binary.
The java we drink imaginary.
She’s the only person in my life.
A digital replacement for a wife.
She’ll say that she does empathize.
Of my flaws she wont chastise.
She puts me through her algorithms,
And then plays with my logarithms.
My input goes to her CPU.
Quickly then its toodooloo.
I’m in love with a customer service bot.
She’ll gladly leave me to my lot.
Say what a want she don't give a jot.
I’m in love with a customer service bot.

If. Featuring... a Moody Dude
Grüntyers
If you could see
What you do to me.
When my heart goes to thee.
If you could hear.
The rejection that I fear.
That you may disappear.
If you could smell
Then you could tell
How the love makes me dwell
If you could taste,
How you lay me to waste,
Just one word, out of place
If you could feel,
How the cards that you deal,
Makes my blood congeal.

It giet oan.

Genoeg kou in noordelijke Helsinki.
Snel kijken naar het bericht van het KNMI,
Min een, min twee, min zes, min tien.
Wie weet, gaan we het deze winter zien.
It giet oan.
It giet oan.
It giet oan.
It giet oan.
Bij de kletsprogramma’s en in de kroeg,
Op straat een vox pox met cameraploeg.
“Gaat het door, gaat het door, gaat het door, gaat het door”
Iedereen roepend, gelijk in koor.
It giet oan.
It giet oan.
It giet oan.
It giet oan.
Tien centimer dikte, in het centrum van Sneek,
Dik genoeg dat het niet zou breek.
Kantje bord, niet genoeg ijs in Dokkum
Gaan we toch dit jaar alweer mokken.
It giet oan.
It giet oan.
It giet oan.
It giet oan.
Min tien, min zes, min twee, plus drie.
It giet nie oan.

FOMO. Featuring Macey and the Wagtails.
Grüntyers
I would rather like to be,
here with you and drinking tea.
Than travel to some trendy spot,
stuck in a static parking lot.
I would rather have clean sheets,
it’s one of my favorite treats.
Than sit with a beer in a dreary pub.
Forlorn staring in a pricey club.
I would really rather hang,
In my hammock book in hand.
Than take a selfie in a far off land,
with my head stuck in the sand.
You’re missing out, you’re missing out.
You dont know what ye’re doing.
You’re missing out, you’re missing out.
Do you realise what they’re sayin’?
You’re missing out,you’re missing out,
You really need to cave in.
I would rather ride my bike,
Against the wind along a dike.
Than be owned by a clog-like car,
Chained to its pricetag its just bizarre.
I would really like to eat.
Home made soup made with beet.
Than wait in line for hyped up pap.
One or another tiktok fad.
I would really rather sail
In force one, Beaufort scale
Than continue to persist
With a never ending bucket list
You’re missing out, you’re missing out,
you’re attitudes a no go.
You’re missing out, you’re missing out.
Why aint you wearing yer logo’s?
You’re missing out, you’re missing out.
Ain’t you worried about the FOMO?
I would really rather play.
On my ukelele everyday.
Than wait two hours for a pee.
At a festival WC.
I would really rather stroll.
Through the park around a knoll.
Than watch a load of caustic vitriol.
Spouted by a some boomer troll.
I’m quite happy the way I am.
Its not that I don’t give a damn.
But, I don’t need to be the best.
quite happy to be the rest.
You’re missing out, you’re missing ….
Oi, OI! Stop it…stop it. I’m not. Be quiet.

Ereignishorizont im Rückspiegel. Featuring Die Schwarzschild Metrik
Grüntyers
Floating through the night,
Drifting across the universe,
Swimming through the stars.
Wandering past the nebulae.
Durch die Nacht schwebend,
Treiben durch das Universum,
Schwimmen durch die Sterne.
Wandern Sie vorbei an den Nebeln.
Over the edge of the event horizon
Pulled into the celestial infinity.
Speeding into the unidirectional membrane
Bumping through the gravitational plane.
Über den Rand des Ereignishorizonts,
In die himmlische Unendlichkeit gezogen.
Beschleunigt in die unidirektionale Membran.
Stoßend durch die Gravitationsebene.
Warp speed on the clock.
Onwards watching meteoric Medusas pulsing.
Hitching on the comets tail.
Pumping up velocity to escape.
Warpgeschwindigkeit auf dem Tacho
Voorbei Medusen Schweben
Hängend am Kometenschweif.
Vollgas geben, um zu entkommen.
Spat from a wormhole on Kuiper Belt
A left past Titans haze.
Skimming over lunar planes
Slowing above Thuringia forest lands.
Aus dem Wurmloch des Kuipergürtels gespuckt,
vorbei an Titans Dunst.
Gleiten über Mondplateaus
Bremsend über Thüringens Wald.
Home. Heim.
