Don't be square

You're a hard working woman, busy all week long
So I keep asking if you got time to spare
I need you to be around so don't be square
I'm cooking for my friends and I like you to attend
But at my dinner party there is still an empty chair
I need you to be around so don't be square
Do I ask to much of your time
Do I take more than you're willing to give
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
But in that regard you appear uncoopertaive
I like to see you always, any time of day
But any time I call you say need some air
I need you to be around so don't be square
Do I ask to much of your time
Do I take more than you're willing to give
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
But in that regard you appear uncoopertaive
Tonight we have a date but you're an hour late
If you said you be here, why are you overthere
I need you to be around so don't be square

True North

I'm lost, broke, broken and blue
A shattered compass and a leaking canteen
And I know for a fact that my journey won't be short
I got to find my true North
The way is foggy and clouded
I'm walking in circles of forgotten dreams
And there is no way to tell if I'm going back or forth
I got to find my True North
I could really use some tiny beacons
That light my way back home
My detours had their reasons
But now that trip is done
I'll find me a new compass
And a map to show the road
Find my pole star to guide me forth
Untill I have found my True North
If I'm lucky I could use your sunshine
To navigate the restless waves
Please be my lighthouse an harbour
Or I'll find a watery grave
Oh I need some tiny beacons
That light my way back home
My detours had their reasons
But now that trip is done
I'll find me a new compass
And a map to show the road
Find my pole star to guide me forth
Untill I have found my True North
I could really use some tiny beacons
That light my way back home
My detours had their reasons
But now that trip is done
I'll find me a new compass
And a map to show the road
Find my pole star to guide me forth
Untill I have found my True North

Wild Time

I cannot be the guy
To give you the hard times
that you think you need
for that, you know
I am much to sweet
So you left and called me angel
and went out looking for trouble
But if you can not find your boundaries
that trouble will be double
Go have your wild time
You're taking risks in life
Go have your wild time
you're nobody's wife
I know you want to make mistakes
and feel it when your poor heart breaks
as the guy you spent the night with
keeps out of your sight, kid
Taking your chances
How's it going my dear friend
Failing romances
Why did our love have to end
I don't know what you're looking for
and I can't stand it anymore
that the love you give to other guys
is worthless in their stupid eyes
If you look for trouble then you're sure to find it
but that's why you wanted to be free
If you look for trouble and seek happiness behind it
That's kinda silly, come find happiness with me
Am I acting foolish?
I wonder how this all will end
who are you fooling if you need me
only as a friend
I know that's wrong to say my love
So tell me I can rise above
this jealousy and ignorance
and say we'll have another chance
Go have your wild time
but be careful kitten dear
Go have your wild time
And face your every fear
But keep your head on, watch yourself
And I'll keep my heart on the shelf
and if you're finished running round
You know where true love can be found
Go have your wild time
(But keep your head on)
Go have your wild time
(But keep your head on)
Go have your wild time
(But keep your head on)

By my good mates The Mieters, this EP is good old fun Nederbiet (Dutch 60's garage rock). The 7" vinyl is strongly recommended!
