A woman knows
(John the Revelator/Tom Huissen)
A woman knows
When you talk to be talking
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
A woman knows
When you play out of tune
Dancing and jiving soon
A woman knows
When you’re fooling around
No time for drinks
No time to talk
A woman knows
When you walk out the door
No more sugar on the floor
You’re all set
And ready to roll
Hustle and bustle
A grin on your face
Get down with the beat
Turn up the bass
Dancing from wall to wall
A woman knows
When you hang out your coat
You’ll be long gone
In the morning cold
A woman knows
When you walk out the door
No more sugar on the floor

Dreamtime
(John the Revelator / Paul Dammers / Tom Huissen)
There is a bright morning dawning
Lost in the gloom of dust and sand
Back and face your destiny
Seek no haven in this land
Hollow below ground
Dreamtime passes many stages
Waterfalls on the rocks
Magic fingers in the air
Crow spirit became man
Take this crystal to bear
Rising up from the plains
Slumbering for countless ages
Don’t you cross the dreaming track
Cause of sadness and distress
Ignorance kills every year
Falling into a world
A world of fear
Ancient heroes roaming
Digging water, hunting prey
As it was done in dreamtime
So must it be done today
Hollow below ground
Dreamtime passes many stages

Down in the Mud
(John the Revelator -Tom Huissen)
Lord I went down to the river
To see the riverbed dried up
The sky is full of thunder
Please let me down in the mud
Well you spit on the floor baby
Rolled your eyes and turned away
The storm clouds are passing
Let me down in the mud
Lord I went for a dead end
Kept on walking till nightfall
The streets are all empty
Please let me down in the mud
After two days with my baby
Looking for a ten cent ride
All hungry and ready
Please let me down in the mud

Too many to bail, nobody goes to jail
(Tom Huissen, Frans ten Kleij, Henk Suurling)
When finance took over
Stocks rising high
Making money
Like a pie in the sky
Borrowing money
It’s not for real
Living in a bubble
That’s how you feel
Boom-Boom-Boom
Boom-Boom-Boom
Too many to bail
Nobody goes to jail
Blowing up the world
Wrecking the place
Losing savings
Without a trace
Showering money
The bankers adrift
Riding a white horse
In day and night shift
Boom-Boom-Boom
Boom-Boom-Boom
Too many to bail
Nobody goes to jail
Laundering money,
Going home at night
Cooking their books
And turn out the light
Subprime bonds
Are full of shit
Better cut short
Well it’s time to quit
Boom-Boom-Boom
Boom-Boom-Boom
Too many to bail
Nobody goes to jail
Boom-Boom-Boom
Boom-Boom-Boom
Too many to bail
Nobody goes to jail
And the government keeps writing the check
