Oude rotten

Gisteren kregen we onze jaarlijkse

gratis graspop-compensatie in het dorp,

wild werd ik niet van de line-up

gaande van de plaatselijke Berrita tot Katastroof,

maar voor de Levellers

trotseerden we graag de kou.

Oude rotten, oud maar zeker niet versleten,

ze kunnen het  nog!

Heerlijk die mix tussen rock, folk, indie en punk!

Perfecte muziek voor als je soms niet zo goed

kan kiezen zoals ik -

deze gasten hebben het gewoon allemaal.

Door die springende violist, de headbangende dreadlocks

en de zanger met wijkende haarlijn

dansten we ons direct warm...

 

"There's one too many, two too many holes

Getting bigger in the garden wall
And the people looking in are getting busy, they're getting bad
They're trying to suss it all
They're trying to get to me, to take my liberty

Got to go go, get out of here, away-way, you don't want me here
Got to go go, get out of here, go home
Because this means nothing to me
They way we were is the way I wanna be
This means nothing to me
The way we were is the way I wanna be

They're sending in the elite, complete with guns
To advertise the way to go
Faxing through the fax to make it clear
That they're the ones who know
They're trying to get to me, to take my liberty

Got to go go, get out of here, away-way, you don't want me here
Got to go go, get out of here, go home
Because this means nothing to me
They way we were is the way I wanna be
This means nothing to me
The way we were is the way I wanna be" (The Levellers)
