HALLELUJAH
Words & Music: Leonard Cohen © Sony Music/ Columbia Ltd.
Piano & vocals: Robert van Oz

Well I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music do you?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not that pilgrim who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah

LOVESONG
Words & Music: The Cure © Fiction Songs Records Ltd.
Rhodes & vocals: Robert van Oz

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you

I will always love you

SUMMERTIME
Words & Music: George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
Piano & vocal: Robert van Oz

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're gonna to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

MEINE ENGEN GRENZEN
Words & Music: Eugen Eckert & Winfried Heurich © Lahn-Verlag
Church organ & vocal: Robert van Oz

Meine engen Grenzen,
meine kurze Sicht bringe ich vor dich
Wand'le sie in Weite:
Oh, erbarme dich

Meine ganze Ohnmacht,
was mich beugt und lähmt bringe ich vor dich
Wand'le sie in Stärke:
Oh, erbarme dich

Mein verlornes Zutraun,
meine Ängstlichkeit bringe ich vor dich
Wand'le sie in Wärme:
Oh, erbarme dich

Meine tiefe Sehnsucht
nach Geborgenheit bringe ich vor dich
Wand'le sie in Heimat:
Oh, erbarme dich

Oh, erbarme dich

SILENT BLUE / QUIETUDE
Words & Music: Robert van Oz

can you take me home?
the lights are on
although they're gone
you, you have come
made me fall silent

DER LEIERMANN
Words & Music: Franz Schubert & Wilhelm Müller
Piano & vocal: Robert van Oz

Drüben hinterm Dorfe
Steht ein Leiermann
Und mit starren Fingern
Dreht er was er kann.

Barfuß auf dem Eise
Wankt er hin und her
Und sein kleiner Teller
Bleibt ihm immer leer.

Keiner mag ihn hören
Keiner sieht ihn an
Und die Hunde knurren
Um den alten Mann.

Und er läßt es gehen
Alles wie es will
Dreht, und seine Leier
Steht ihm nimmer still.

Wunderlicher Alter
Soll ich mit dir geh'n?
Willst zu meinen Liedern
Deine Leier dreh'n?

HERE BEFORE
Words & Music: Vashti Bunyan © Fat Cat 2005
Synths & vocals: Robert van Oz

once I had a child
he was wilder than moonlight
he could do it all
like he'd been here before

once I had a child
she was smiling like sunshine
she could see it all
like she'd been here before

then I had a child
took his while like northern summer
and he knows it all
like he's been here before

WHO IS IT
Words & Music: Björk © 2004 Wellhart Ltd / One Little Indian Ltd.
Remixed & produced: Greg DarkJedi
Vocals & vocal recording: Robert van Oz
Background vocals: Calire

His embrace : a fortress
it fuels me and places
a skeleton of trust
right beneath us
bone by bone
stone by stone

If you ask yourself
patiently
and carefully:
who is it?

Who is it - that never lets you down?
Who is it - that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are going around
now they're handing it over
handing it over

He demands a closeness
we all have earned a lightness
carry my joy on the left
carry my pain on the right

If you ask yourself
patiently
and carefully:
who is it?

Who is it - that never lets you down?
Who is it - that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are
they're going around
now they're handing it over
handing it over

REALITY
Music production & programming: John Caza
Words & vocals: Robert van Oz

came across a small-town called Reality
with an ice-cream parlor and an elephant factory
and I really couldn't rest there 'cause I had to see
who in the world I would turn out to be

then I met a woman who lost her big, big heart
and buried it in the town's big, big boneyard
and I really couldn't give her mine 'cause I had to see
who in the world I would turn out to be

do do do do do
this world is only made up for you

a minute later I left the lovely Reality
running into Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty
and I really couldn't go with them to Jamboree
'cause suddenly I saw who I turned out to be

I'm a pilgrim, I'm a dreamer, I'm a refugee
who's still looking for the one he would turn out to be

do do do do do
this world is only made up for you

I sweep into deep, deep sleep
steeped in deep, deep sleep

SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT
Words & Music: Kurt Cobain / Nirvana © Virgin Songs Ltd.
Piano & vocals: Robert van Oz

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will (be) until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido

A denial
