"No, you can't pretend that everything's alright,
When, all you know falls apart.
Blue Sun will rise and shine and burn its light,
You might lose this fight...."

Madness
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1978
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fuse is set and checked once more
Then left beside a back street door
And in the cold grey light
Someone sees a shadow run through the night and out of sight
They hide inside a smoke filled room
To hear at last the blast of doom
And so the deed is done
They listen to the final countdown begun, three, two, one
Madness, it's a kind of madness
That turns good men bad
And we're helpless caught up in the madness
Of a world gone mad
The roar of fire rings out on high
And flames light up the black night sky
A child screams out in fear
A hopeless cry for help but no one is near enough to hear
As walls collapse and timbers flare
The smell of death hangs in the air
When help at last arrives
They try to fight the flame but nothing survives of all those lives
And it's madness, every time a victim dies
There is madness, burning in a blind man's eyes
And it's madness, hidden in the hate and pain
There is madness, burning in a wild man's brain
And it's madness, every time the bullets start
There is madness, burning in a poor man's heart
And it's madness, something that we can't control
There is madness, burning in a madman's soul
Madness

"Well, there was no reason to believe she'd always be there
But if you don't put faith in what you believe in
It's getting you nowhere
'Cos it hurts, you never let go
Don't look down, just look up
Cos she's always there to behind you, just to remind you
Two hearts, believing in just one mind
You know we're two hearts believing in just one mind
'Cos there's no easy way to, to understand it
There's so much of my life in her, and it's like I'm blinded
And it teaches you to never let go
There's so much love you'll never know
She can reach you no matter how far
Wherever you are
Two hearts, believing in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know we're two hearts believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time
She knows (she knows)
There'll always be a special place in my heart for her
She knows, she knows, she knows
Yeah, she knows (she knows)
No matter how far apart we are
She knows, I'm always right there beside her
We're two hearts, believing in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know we're two hearts believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time
You know we're two hearts believing in just one mind
Together forever, til the end of time
Two hearts two hearts, believing in just one mind
Beating together til the end of time...."

"Rainy day people always seem to know when it's time to call
Rainy day people don't talk, they just listen till they've heard it all
Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell 'ya they've been down like you
Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two
If you get lonely, all you really need is that rainy day love
Rainy day people all know there's no sorrow they can't rise above
Rainy day lovers don't love any others, that would not be kind
Rainy day people all know how it hangs on a piece of mind
Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you, they've been down there too
Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two.
Rainy day people always seem to know when you're feeling blue
High stepping strutters who land in the gutters sometimes need one too
Take it or leave it, or try to believe it
If you've been down too long
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside they just pass it on
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside they just pass it on..."

"You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of Wonder bread, and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the Bible didn't mention us
And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful, and came into my bed
Oh, I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the morning light, the morning light
And he kissed me 'til the morning light
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of Wonder bread, and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once...."

Eager workers turning the pages
Dirty fingers touch your life
All you pretty maids
With all your charms on view
Farm the wasteground in your head now
Your sisters can't get through
Oh hey, hey, Citizen Jane
What will your sisters say
Oh they'll say ain't it a shame
After comin' such a long, long way
Citizen Jane
Now they're trading skin
And the cause is pushed away
Greedy piggies live on Fleet Street
Dealing meat out every day
Oh hey, hey, Citizen Jane

Oh they'll say ain't it a shame
After comin' such a long, long way

"When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Summer's thunder time of year
The sound of music in my ears
Distant bells
New mown grass smells so sweet
By the river holding hands
Roll me up and lay me down
And if you see
Don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me
Sing to me..."

Late December, back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night
Oh, what a night
You know, I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night
(Oh, what a night)
Hypnotizing, mesmerizin' me
She was everything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night
And I felt a rush
Like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinning my head around
And takin' my body under
(Oh, what a night)
Oh, I got a funny feeling
When she walked in the room
And my, as I recall
It ended much too soon
(Oh, what a night)
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night...."

Belgian fries are just like any other type of deep-fried potato, but one of the secrets is that they are fried twice. This, and what they are fried in, is what makes all the difference to making good fries.
"Remember Belgium and the Brussels Museum
Where we piled on the front steps like stray cavaliers
Our code of living meant little to others
The few francs we saved bought some cheap souvenirs
But the red lights where the catfights make it just like Belgium
See us face down on the floor of another cheap barroom
Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of your spare change
And your sweet madam makes it seem just like Belgium
Just like a hustler when they look attractive
It's nothing more than a slap on the back
The price tag of being just a little bit different
The first rule to learn is to keep your own distance..."

"Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
When I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
That rode us all the way in to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin', honey, if it ain't free, no no
Yeah, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me
Well feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
Hey feelin' good was good enough for me, mhm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee;;;3

They follow the guide
They look around
They dream of a rodeo prince
Two girls in the desert
They walk on the path
They look around
They dream of a rodeo prince on a white horse
They search in their bags
They point to the mountains
They shake their hair
They talk to an old cowboy
Two girls in Arizona
Carried by waves of wind and sand
The burning of the sun
The hands stop
The night brings strange hours
The day brings new wisdom
This blanket is so heavy
A page turns..."

"Did I see you down
In a young girl's town
With your mother in so much pain?
I was almost there
At the top of the stairs
With her screaming in the rain
Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man
Did I see you walking with the boys?
Though it was not hand-in-hand
And was some black face in a lonely place
When you could understand?
Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man
Will I see you give more than I can take?
Will I only harvest some?
As the days fly past
Will we lose our grasp
Or fuse it in the sun?
Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man..."

Waffles are eaten a lot at fairs in Belgium, especially the Liège waffles. These are eaten warm.
Popular in tearooms are the Brussels waffles, with a generous dollop of whipped cream, or with jam or sugar (possibly with butter). It is customary to drink a hot drink with them, especially chocolate milk or coffee. There are also softer waffles, which can be eaten warm or cold.

IF THERE'S A GOD IN HEAVEN (WHAT'S HE WAITING FOR)
“Torn from their families
Mothers go hungry
To feed their children
But children go hungry
There's so many big men
They're out making millions
When poverty's profits
Just blame the children
If there's a God in heaven
What's he waiting for
If He can't hear the children
Then he must see the war
But it seems to me
That he leads his lambs
To the slaughter house
And not the promised land
Dying for causes
They don't understand
We've been taking their futures
Right out of their hands
They need the handouts
To hold back the tears
There's so much crying
But so few that hear
If there's a God in heaven
Well, what's he waiting for
If there's a God in heaven
What's he waiting for? for..."

Oh Venezuela, salted sea is all I've ever had
Sailing from Caracas up to Trinidad
Oh, Venezuela been on a shrimp boat for too long
Trolling shark through waters from the surf to sun

Mama cooks fresh fish on a driftwood fire
Oh, he's early rise when the sky lights Barcelona

"How can you say life's getting you down
Get yourself out go along with the crowd
You're all dressed-up got nowhere to go
You feel left out 'cause nobody showed
Listen babe
When you think you're the only one
Who can't find love in this world
Tell yourself there's another one
Who's waiting for you, somewhere
Somebody special is thinking of you
Somebody special is dreaming of you
Somebody special is longing for you
Somebody special, special
Magazine dreams are easy stuff
But heaven knows they ain't good enough
Picture yourself from reel to reel
And get your hands on that driving wheel
And you know what
When it's hard to satisfy
A simple simple fantasy
Somebody somewhere is on your side
Waiting for you, crying
Maybe your heart's tormenting you
Why should it have any reason to
Wipe off that negativity
Put on some positivity
And when you think you're the only one
Who can't find love in this world
Tell yourself there's another one
Who's waiting for you, somewhere..."

And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
She made leaving me look easy
I wish she'd made it look a little harder
I took her out of Texas
When she was just a girl
But old Tennessee and me
Couldn't take Texas out of her
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
If I could move Texas east
Then she'd be here with me
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
If Dallas was in Tennessee
By now she's leaving Memphis
And everything we had behind her
Lord I hope the gold band on her hand
Will serve as a reminder
That true love is a treasure
That's very seldom found
But you can't stay together if there's no common ground
Oh how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
If I could move Texas east

And though he never tried to make her
She often thought it would be nice
Oh, and now she's heading out to California

But she's feeling like a woman tonight
And she left a little letter
Said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye. Goodbye
She tried for years to be a good wife
It never quite got off the ground
And all those stories of the good life
Convinced her not to hang around

But she sure knows what she's leaving behind
And she left a little letter
Said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada

She knows it would be worse to stay
He wouldn't understand the reasons
That make a woman run away

And she left a little letter
Said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada

Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time

I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh, when I'm old and wise....."

"She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then..."

Coloured pencil faber-castell and mixed media on Steinbach paper.
"I've pulled down my lace and the chintz
Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius?
I'll send your love to Zeus
Oh, by the time you read this, I'll be well in touch
You and me on the bobbing knee
Didn't we cry at that old mythology he'd read?
I will come home again, but not until
The sun and the moon meet on yon hill
I'm giving it all in a moment or two
I'm giving it all in a moment for you
I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it, giving it
This kicking here inside makes me leave you behind
No more under the quilt to keep you warm
Your sister, I was born
You must lose me like an arrow shot into the killer storm
I've pulled down my lace and the chintz
Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius?
I'll send your love to Zeus
Oh, by the time you read this..."
THE KICK INSIDE - Kate Bush, 1978.

INDIAN SUNSET again (and again).
"... I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child
I can't stay to see you die along with my tribe's pride
I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons
Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run..."
INDIAN SUNSET - Music & lyrics Elton John & Bernie Taupin, 1971.
