Makkik binne makkik binne om een lieke te beginne
over de dinges die kik mij ammaal herinner
uit de goeien ouwen tijd van rekenen en vlijt?
Een leven zonder zorgen, ambitie of spijt.
Heelder dagen gaan sjotten, voor den donkere thuis.
Alleen maar wa ravotten en 't school, daar kwam niks van in huis.
Drei keer durven was doen.
Maskes plagen, liefde vragen.
En al wa ge zegt da waarde zelf, me a broek in den helft.

Het was zo simpel ammaal, zo simpel ammaal.
Zo simpel as ik vraag het aan.

Kvraagetaan.

Er was nog gene gsm, nog gene vtm.
En niemand dieje hannibal of murdock wilde zen.
Rons honeymoon, Carolientje, Merlina met de parafix en voerdes was er niks.
We mochten niks, maar dejen alles.
Urbanus was nen held.
Ons pa diejen oj nog haar en we telden al ons geld veur de kermis.
Showen in de boksauto's, out-run in plaats van onze commodore.
Er waren geen CD's, geen mp3's, alleen maar wa cassetjes.
En buurman wat doet u nu voor ons allereerste tetjes?

Het was zo simpel ammaal, zo simpel ammaal.
Zo simpel as ik vraagetaan.

Kvraagetaan.

Derde couplet potteke potteke potteke vet.
De g’ed al honderd was men eerste brevet.
’t Songfestival, jeuj later naar bed.
The reflex fl-fl-fl-flex op ons tennisracket.
Ja jonges we zagen het groot.
We wieren ammel profvoetballer of piloot.
En haten was nog geen nationale sport,
alleen misschient die koteletten op ons bord.
Bivakpotsen, sponsen broekskes, karbonaaien,
die knielappen die z’ aan ons broekskes wilden naaien.
Betsaksaai bettemakemaai.
Ik stop ermee wa is men schaai?

Het was zo simpel ammaal, zo simpel ammaal.
Zo simpel as ik vraag het aan.

Kvraagetaan.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
