Absynthe Minded Live@ TV-show 'Vila Vanthilt' on 11 Aug. 2009 , Hasselt - Belgium,
Lyrics:
My verses stand gawping a bit
I never get used to this
They lived here long enough
Enough!
I send them out of the house
I dont wanna wait
Until their toes are cold
Enough!
I wanna hear the humming of the sun
Or that of my heart,
Hardening
Enough!
They dont screw classically
They babble commonly
And bluster nobly
Enough! Enough!
In winter their lips leap
In spring they lie flat at the first warmth
They ruin my summer
And in autumn its girls and a broken heart
For another twelve lines on this sheet
Ill hold my hand over their head
And then Ill kick them out
Enough!
Go and pester elsewhere, one-cent rhymes
Find somebody who cares
Enough!
Go now on your high feet
This is where the graves laugh
When they see their guests
Enough!
One corpse on top of the other
Go now and stagger to her
Whom I do not know
Enough! Enough!
In winter their lips leap
In spring they lie flat at the first warmth
They ruin my summer
And in autumn its girls and a broken heart

Wow, I actually prefer this to the studio version.
Drums played with the brushes sound smoother and fit the song better.
Absolutely love it :)

! As is generally known, this song's lyrics is based on a poem by Hugo Claus. But in contrary to what Bert Ostyn repeatedly claims in several interviews, he did not translate it himself. In reality he took John Irons work, who translated a series of Claus' poems to English in 2005, and just minorly adapted it.
For the curious: You can find the original translation on Poetry Internation web easily through google. The similarities will be obvious.

Hm die openingsriff (die later als motief terug door de song opduikt) ken ik! Hetzelfde als gekend uit 'Crazy on you' van Heart (1977). Plagiaat?

De tekst is gebaseerd op een gedicht van Hugo Claus (op Nederlands initiatief werden 12 gedichten van Claus in een song gegoten) , de gitaarriff gelijkt op die van Bob Dylan's Hurricane Carter. Maar tegenwoordig kun je dat bij 95% van de nieuwe songs zeggen, iedereen laat zich inspireren door eerder uitgebrachte songs.
