Lyrics
Heard in the scene
Lyrics: © Heleen van den Hombergh. Music: K.Boschman,E. de Zeeuw, H. van den Hombergh
On Friday nights I went to town
and saw the northern jet-set
They played their scores upside down
Something I didn't get yet:
those "new blues"
The avant-garde men I met
they worked me into cold sweat
I kept on dreaming I would step right
on the stage and sing that theme!
But then I went to bed instead
though I could not forget that
It's this this club that lingers on my mind
high heels and red wine
Midnight hours with wanted boys
Each chorus tension rose
and froze with the last drink:
a rainy going home
Me in white blouse
looking too cool to touch
while pretty men tapped their feet on
freaky themes
Found out all about jazz and that
it never left again
Whirling, whirling, the whole place
as a stage in the play of my mind
years and years…..
-solos-
Me in white blouse
Looking too cool to touch
While pretty men tapped their feet on
freaky themes
Found out all about jazz and that
it never left again
Obsessed by a keyboard player
who saw through me, and made me small
Why am I hurt, why am I hurt?
Only want to be seen, seen, heard in the
scene!
Whirling, the whole place as a stage
in the play of my mind
years and years….
On Friday nights I went to town
And saw the northern jet-set
They played their scores
Upside down
Something I didn't get yet
Those new blues
The avant garde men I met
They worked me into cold sweat
Whatever happens I will realize
They drove me mad!
