SPECIAL OFFER

Sale on now, there are bargains to be got;
the second’s free, you now must buy a lot.
The price’s last week’s, tomorrow there’s a new.
Buy now, pay later, sign this IOU.

The real fun is to buy, let money fly,
give it a try.
If you want to live it high and catch the eye
you must buy, pay us dry for your hifi.
We simplify the question why and
what you should buy.

You’ll get squeezed and trampled upon
but you love it ‘cause shopping is fun.
Keep in pace with people all around
and tune in to that lovely rattling sound.

The real fun is to buy, let money fly,
give it a try.
If you want to live it high and catch the eye
you must buy, pay us dry for your hifi.
We simplify the question why and what
you should buy.

Change (demo recording 1984)
(Music: Ywis / Lyrics: Sylvia van Heck)

CHANGE

You don’t believe in what you’re doing,
your motivation has long gone.
You try to swith off when you enter
and when you’re hpome you switch back on.
You sit there passionless awaiting
the things to come, but then they don’t.
But there’s no one who makes an offer.
You must help yourself, but then you won’t.

There’s only one: that’s you.

You are incapable of action
and ‘though you are not satisfied.
you just don’t think of ever changing:
you are completely passified.
Now after years of only waiting
you must have come to understand
that you can change your situation
only youself, now make amends.

There’s only one: that’s you.
