Expresso Café by Walter Vermeulen

WV2080/2025

Mixed media & acrylic on Steinbach paper.

"She gets the sun in the daytime

Perfume in the dusk

And she comes out in the night time

With the honeysuckle musk

Because she smells just like a rose

And she tastes just like a peach

She got me walking where the wildlife goes

I'd do anything to reach her

And she was made in heaven

Heaven's in the world

Oh she was made in heaven

Heaven's in the world

Is this just expresso love

You know I'm crazy for the girl

Just crazy for the girl

She call me just to talk

She's my lover, she's a friend of mine

She says. "Hey mister you wanna take a walk

In the wild west end sometime?"

And I get trouble with my breathing

When she says boys don't know anything

But I know what I want

Yes, I want everything

'Cause she was made in heaven

And heaven's in the world

Oh she was made in heaven

Yes, heaven's in the world

Is this just expresso love

See I'm crazy for the girl

Just crazy for the girl

Well I feel so good because I feel so good

And I feel so good because it feels so right

I was made to go with my girl

Just like a saxophone was made to go with the night

And she can raise one eyebrow

Put her hand on my hip

And I close one eye now

Sweat on her lip

Oh and I surrender to the fever

And I surrender to the will of the night

She love me so tender I got to believe her

Love? Expresso love's alright now

'Cause she was made in heaven

And heaven's in the world

Oh she was made in heaven

Yes, heaven's in the world

Is this just expresso love

Know I'm crazy for the girl

Just crazy for the girl

I don't want no sugar in it

Thank you very much

All wired up on it, all fired up on it

Expresso touch

Hey maestro, expresso now

Hey maestro, she said expresso now

It's just another one, just like the other one

It's just another one, just like the other one oh one

Hey maestro, expresso now

I said hey maestro, expresso

I need another one

(just like the other, other, other, other one...)"

"I don't want to be beautiful

I don't want to be beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful like you, beautiful like you

Good beds, bad bodies

Love the the worst of us

Drinks us like cheap champagne

Spits us up, throws us up

And I'm Evelyn he's Adam

We're the new apple eaters

We got juiced up in that garden

Worst of Sunset, east of Eden

I don't want to be beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful like you, beautiful like you.... (etc)"

Someday by Walter Vermeulen

WV2250/2025

Ecoline ink & watercolour on Steinbach paper.

"Someday she'll be here, that's a fact

Someday she'll be coming right back

Maybe I'm dreaming, I hope it's not so

But someday she's comin' back, I know

You know I'm ready to see her again

When that someday will never end

When she left with no goodbye

I was stuck with those lonely nights

You know what I mean, it's always the same

Ain't no medicine for that kind of pain

Someday comes and goes away

Bringing me a better day

Ain't no pity, ain't no shame

I hope that someday will come again

Maybe I'm dreaming, I hope it's not so

Somedays' comin', it's comin' I know

Maybe I'm dreaming, I hope it's not so

Somedays' comin', it's comin' I know...."

"There is a courtyard here in Chicago

Down by the river where no one goes

We could be married there in the courtyard

By this old Spanish priest that no one knows

And he'll say

"Nel blu, dipinto

Dipinto di blu

Felice de stare

Di stare lassu"

That means you love him

And he loves you

"Piu bel ci sono

Ci sei tu"

Kathleen, Kathleen, Kathleen

The best one in the world

Kathleen, Kathleen, Kathleen

I've always been crazy about Irish girls

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey,

Come what may

Hey, hey, hey, hey

watercolour and ink on Steinbach paper.

"Somebody's out there feeling down tonight

Somebody's hurtin' and we all know why

Sometimes all of love just isn't fair

People sometimes don't know how to care

Yeah, we've all been there

When the rain is the tears of a long forgotten love

And the wind blows like the song of a lonesome dove

There ain't no shame to feel the pain

When your all alone, when your all alone

And the tears won't dry

Til you cry...."

TIL YOU CRY is a song from Juice Newton, 1988.

WV2002/2024

"...So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road..."

Crusaders by Walter Vermeulen

2 1

The first crusader.

Godfrey of Bouillon (1060 – 1100) was Duke of Lower Lorraine from 1089 until his death and one of the leaders of the First Crusade. In November 1096, Godfrey was the first of the crusaders to arrive in Constantinople. He was also proclaimed the first king of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, but refused that title in the city where Jesus had worn a crown of thorns. Godfrey died in Caesarea, probably after being poisoned...

Coloured pencils and ink on Steinbach paper.

Pirates of the Black Moon...

"Oh, the Devil is rising with the moon

He cries and my blood runs cold

Oh no, never was the darkness so black

No light and nowhere to go

My spirit is crying for a love

So tired of being alone

I remember he came here to steal

And you are his stealer of souls

I see a black moon rising

And it's calling out my name

Oh, it's calling my name

I've been blinded, lost and confused

Darkness will call me no more

Ah, Heaven is no friend of mine

No God ever knocked on my door...."

BLACK MOON - Black Sabbath, 1987.

WV2151/2025

Watercolour & coloured pencils on Steinbach paper.

"I'm growing tired of this big city lights

Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights

In all my dreams I'm roaming once more

Back to my home on the old river shore

I am sad and weary far away from home

Miss the Mississippi and you

Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam

Miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming the wide world over

Always alone and blue, so blue

Nothing seems to cheer me

Under heaven's dome

Miss the Mississippi and you

Memories are bringing

Happy days of your

Miss the Mississippi and you

Mockingbirds are singing

'Round the cabin door

Miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming the wide world over

Always alone and blue, so blue

Longing for my homeland

Muddy water shore

Miss the Mississippi and you

Yo-de-lee-ooo-lei, yo-de-lee-ooo-lei

Mississippi and you..."

MISS THE MISSISSIPPI AND YOU - Crystal Gayle, 1979.

WV2205/2025

Coloured pencils on Steinbach paper.

"I wanna live

With a cinnamon girl

I could be happy

The rest of my life

With a cinnamon girl

A dreamer of pictures

I run in the night

You see us together

Chasing the moonlight

My cinnamon girl

Ten silver saxes

A bass with a bow

The drummer relaxes

And waits between shows

For his cinnamon girl

A dreamer of pictures

I run in the night

You see us together

Chasing the moonlight

My cinnamon girl

Pa send me money now

I'm gonna make it somehow

I need another chance

You see your baby loves to dance

Yeah...yeah...yeah..."

Paint by numbers by Walter Vermeulen

WV2175/2025

Coloured pencils Faber-Castell and ecoline ink on Steinbach paper.

"When all the help in the world won't get you by

When all the friends that you lean on let you down,

You'll wonder why

I see you there with your painting box

And your oils and brushes and your artist's smocks

What'll you do if the Muse gets lost

When I'm gone?

You painted me in the way you said you knew

I don't believe that I saw myself

In anything you drew

I say you never quite caught it right

You say you see me in a different light

What'll you do with your black and white

When I'm gone

You paint by numbers

I never noticed it before

You paint by numbers

It's just a closing of an open door

When you're looking round

You won't see me no more

You paint by numbers

Staying here in this room just makes me pale

I never really could fit into your geometric scale

I see you measure my profile up

And you mix your paints in a broken cup

What'll you do if the brush gets stuck

When I'm gone

You paint by numbers

I never noticed it before

You paint by numbers

It's just a closing of an open door

When you're looking round

You won't see me no more

You paint by numbers...."

Everlasting Jeannie by Walter Vermeulen

WV1980/2024

One of my 'favourite' EJ songs anyway....

"Oh little Jeannie, you got so much love, little Jeannie

And you take it where it strikes and give it to the likes of me

Oh little Jeannie, she got so much love, little Jeannie

So I see you when I can, you make me all a man can be

And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover

Oh there were others who would treat you cruel

And oh little Jeannie, you were always someone's fool

Little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie

Though you've grown beyond your years, you still retain the fears of youth

Oh little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie

But you're burning it up so fast, searching for some lasting truth

And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover

Oh there were others who would treat you cruel

But oh Jeannie, I will always be your fool

And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover

Oh there were others, and I've known quite a few

But oh oh Jeannie, I'm still in love with you

Stepped into my life from a bad dream

Making the life that I had seem suddenly shiny and new

Oh Jeannie I'm so in love with you

Stepped into my life from a bad dream...."

When your back's against the wall

And darling then I'll just pretend

Right from the start

You never left me on my own oh you gypsy heart...."

Famous Blue Raincoat

Music & lyrics by Leonard Cohen 1971

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's four in the morning, the end of December

I'm writing you now just to see if you're better

New York is cold, but I like where I'm living

There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.

I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert

You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you gave it to her

That night that you planned to go clear

Did you ever go clear?

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older

Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder

You'd been to the station to meet every train

And you came home without Lili Marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life

And when she came back she was nobody's wife.

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth

One more thin gypsy thief

Well I see Jane's awake --

She sends her regards.

And what can I tell you my brother, my killer

What can I possibly say?

I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you

I'm glad you stood in my way.

If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me

Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes

I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you gave it to her

That night that you planned to go clear --

Sincerely, L. Cohen

Why do you sleep so still

I'll wake you tomorrow

And you will be my fill, yes you will be my fill

My Lady D'Arbanville

Why does it grieve me so

But your heart seems so silent

Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low

My Lady D'Arbanville

Why do you sleep so still

I'll wake you tomorrow

And you will be my fill, yes you will be my fill

My Lady D'Arbanville

You look so cold tonight

Your legs feel like winter

Your skin has turned to white, your skin has turned to white

My Lady D'Arbanville

Why do you sleep so still

I'll wake you tomorrow

And you will be my fill, yes you will be my fill

My Lady D'Arbanville

Why do you grieve me so

But your heart seems so silent

Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low

I love you my lady

Though in your grave you lie

I'll always be with you

Gouache and ink on $teinbach paper

"She threw back that shiny hair

Like the mane on a Delta Queen

Gonna spend my last dime on a telephone call

'Cause she's the wildest thing I've ever seen

She was just plain 'mister' once

Got herself fixed up real good

Just a little boy lost in the land of the free

A wiggle and a walk away from womanhood

Now they call her the cat

And that's a stone fact

They took a little of this

She got a little of that

Now Billy got a kitty, he got something to scratch

So they call her, yeah they call her the cat

She just does that double act

She got Babs and Joan down pat

She got hips like Mick, she's a Rolling Stone

Never seen a woman shake like that

She was just plain 'mister' once

Got herself fixed up real good

Just a little boy lost in the land of the free

A wiggle and a walk away from womanhood

She's so fine that the water line

Don't separate hot and cold

She got stitched up bitchy by an old M.D.

Now she's headed out to Hollywood or so I'm told

And that's a stone fact

They took a little of this

She got a little of that

Now Billy got a kitty, he got something to scratch

So they call her, yeah they call her the cat..."

"I woke up long after dawn

Twenty years had come and gone

I know when it changed for me

A day in June, you came to me

I've seen through someone else's eyes

With nothin' on the other side

Every motel, every town

Pieces scattered all around

Promises that I can't be

Someone's heart that I can't keep

Days so long, I couldn't speak

Roads so rocky, I can't sleep

I've seen things so beautiful

All around this broken world

That pale in comparison to you

Caroline, I'm on my way back home to you

Can't imagine what I'm goin' through

Without you by my side

It's been a long long time

Oh won't you say a prayer for me

I hope you will remember me

You're always on my mind..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Billie Jean

Music & lyrics by Michael Jackson 1982

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, and she caused a scene

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

And mother always told me be careful of who you love

And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But Jason's not my son

She says I am the one, but Jason's not my son

For forty days and forty nights

The law was on her side

But who can stand when she's in demand

Her schemes and plans

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

So take my strong advice,

Just remember to always think twice

(Don't think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced 'till three

Then she looked at me

Then showed a photo, my baby cried

His eyes looked like mine

Go on dance on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

She came and stood right by me

Then the smell of sweet perfume

This happened much too soon

She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover

"I'm moving out of Tombstone, yeah with the sun behind my back

I'm tired of people talking of things that I lack

Ever since a week ago, the day he passed away

I've been taking too much notice of the things they had to say

....

Now they all been saying that it's good to see me gone

And saying what a shame she was

But I don't care 'cause now I'm free of those small nagging few

The people who want me to live inside my old man's shoes..."

".....

Na-na-na-na

Go, well I don't want no sugar in it

No, thank you very, very, very much

Wired up on it, all fired up on it

Expresso touch, woo-hoo

Na-na, na

Hey maestro, expresso now

Hey maestro, she said "Expresso now"

It's just another one, just like the other one

It's just another one, just like the other other one

Woah, hey maestro, expresso now

I say, hey maestro, expresso

I need another one… "

TANGLED UP IN BLUE

Music & lyrics by Bob Dylan

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Early one morning the sun was shining

I was laying in bed

Wond'ring if she'd changed it all

If her hair was still red

Her folks they said our lives together

Sure was gonna be rough

They never did like Mama's homemade dress

Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough

And I was standing on the side of the road

Rain falling on my shoes

Heading out for the East Coast

Lord knows I've paid some dues getting through

Tangled up in blue.

She was married when we first met

Soon to be divorced

I helped her out of a jam I guess

But I used a little too much force

We drove that car as far as we could

Abandoned it out West

Split it up on a dark sad night

Both agreeing it was best

She turned around to look at me

As I was walking away

I heard her say over my shoulder

"We'll meet again someday on the avenue"

Tangled up in blue.

I had a job in the great north woods

Working as a cook for a spell

But I never did like it all that much

And one day the axe just fell

So I drifted down to New Orleans

Where I happened to be employed

Working for a while on a fishing boat

Right outside of Delacroix

But all the while I was alone

The past was close behind

I seen a lot of women

But she never escaped my mind and I just grew

Tangled up in blue.

She was working in a topless place

And I stopped in for a beer

I just kept looking at her side of her face

In the spotlight so clear

And later on as the crowd thinned out

I's just about to do the same

She was standing there in back of my chair

Said, "Zimmy, don't I know your name?"

I muttered something underneath my breath

She studied the lines on my face

I must admit I felt a little uneasy

When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe

Tangled up in blue.

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe

"I thought you'd never say hello" she said

"You look like the silent type"

Then she opened up a book of poems

And handed it to me

Written by an Italian poet

From the thirteenth century

And every one of them words rang true

And glowed like burning coal

Pouring off of every page

Like it was written in my soul from me to you

Tangled up in blue

I lived with them on Montague Street

In a basement down the stairs

There was music in the cafes at night

And revolution in the air

Then he started into dealing with slaves

And something inside of him died

She had to sell everything she owned

And froze up inside

And when finally the bottom fell out

I became withdrawn

The only thing I knew how to do

Was to keep on keeping on like a bird that flew

Tangled up in blue.

So now I'm going back again

I got to get her somehow

All the people we used to know

They're an illusion to me now

Some are mathematicians

Some are carpenter's wives

Don't know how it all got started

I don't what they're doing with their lives

But me I'm still on the road

Heading for another joint

We always did feel the same

We just saw it from a different point of view

Tangled up in Blue.

Mountain Woman by Walter Vermeulen

WV2012/2025

Watercolor on Steinbach paper

"... There's a child and a woman

Praying for an end to the mystery

Hoping for a word in a letter

Fair wind-blown from across the sea

To where the mountain men are kings

And the sound of the piper counts for everything.

There's a house on the hillside

Where the drifting sands are born

Lay down and let the slow tide wash me

Back to the land where I came from

Where the mountain men are kings

And the sound of the piper counts for everything

Where the real mountain men are kings

And the sound of the piper counts for everything..."

MOUNTAIN MEN - Jethro Tull, 1987.

Tangled lives, lonely wives by Walter Vermeulen

WV1950/2024

"On a bench, on the beach

Just before the sun had gone

I tried to reach you

Plain faced and falling fast

You looked so vacant like an empty shell

Whose life had passed upon the ocean

...

Crazy water

Takes my fishing boat on Monday morning

Dangerous dreaming

If we all believe in the things you believe you're seeing

Oh we'd never drop our nets in the crazy water, crazy water

Tangled lives, lonely wives

Shoreline widows pray

For the souls of missing whalers

Endless nights on an endless sea

Where nothing lives between us

Just the breakers on the ocean

Separating you and me

Separating you and me..."

"Miss you babe

She's everywhere I go

She's everything I know

And now I think she's finally

Touched my soul

She's heaven here on earth

Much more than I deserve

And I don't wanna ever let her go

I'm getting used to all her ways

Everything she says

Her smiles, her frowns

Her ups and all her downs

She's every move that I make

She's every breath I take

She's got a hold on me

That I don't wanna break

I mean my girl bring her home to me

My girl can't wait for you to see

My girl means everything to me

My girl my girl

My friends keep coming 'round

Saying come out on the town

What's wrong, you ain't the guy

We used to know

And I tell them I say

Without her by my side

I'm only half alive

I love her so bad

And I don't care if it shows

I mean my girl

Bring her home to me

My girl, means everything to me

My girl, can't wait for you to see

My girl, my girl, my girl

At last my heart has found a home

This time I know where I belong

I mean my girl

Bring her home to me

My girl, can't wait for you to see..."

Slave

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1972

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a river running sweat right through our land

Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand

And I've taken just as much as I can stand

Oh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can

Most nights I have to watch my woman cry

Every day I watch the colonel smile

His painted ladies riding in from town

I swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore house to the ground

Slave, slave

To fight the violence we must be brave

Hold on strong to the love God gave

Slave

There's a rumour of a war that's yet to come

That may free our families and our sons

It may lay green lands to barren wastes

The price of release is a bitter blow to face

Sailing to CHI by Walter Vermeulen

WV2007/2024

"Well, it's not far down to paradise

At least it's not for me

And if the wind is right, you can sail away

And find tranquility

Oh, the canvas can do miracles

Just you wait and see

Believe me

It's not far to never never land

No reason to pretend

And if the wind is right, you can find the joy

Of innocence again

Oh, the canvas can do miracles

Just you wait and see

Believe me

Sailing

Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be

Just a dream and the wind to carry me

Soon, I will be free..."
