This was inspired by the song "Beyond the grave" by Barclay James Harvest. It contains quotes from the story "Het oog in de driehoek" (the eye in the triangle) from the collection "Been onder het zand" (Leg under the sand) by Cees Simhoffe.

It was created by Herco de Boer, Hans de Bruin, Peter Melchiors en Hans van der Pas.

Stan Ridgway: Back in flesh, from the album "The Index Masters"

Someone smashed my alarm
It's got me on the edge
You know it's so sharp
(Aaaaaaaa...)
And you know I won't go
You know I won't go
I don't wanna go
(He won't go)
The corporation's boiling over
Everybody's taking over

Chorus:
And I'm back in flesh
Back in flesh
Back in flesh
Back in flesh
Back in flesh

You better sign your time card now
They don't care about you anyhow
Sign in, your minimum cut
You're late again, your salary's cut!

Someone smashed my alarm
It's got me on the edge
You know it's so sharp
(Aaaaaaaa...)
And you know I won't go
You know I won't go
I don't wanna go
(He won't go)
The corporation's boiling over
Everybody's taking over

Chorus repeat

I won't go
(He won't go.)
I don't wanna go
(You must go!)
Is it time to go?
(The orders are in!)
Well, I'd rather go bowling!
(The lanes are closed!)
Maybe a little tennis?
(Your racket's got a hole.)
How about some baseball?
(Field's rained out.)
Maybe a little fishing?
(The fish are on vacation.)
Well, how about some golfing?
(The greens are overgrown.)
Well, what about some swimming?
(I don't think so!)
Well, what about this... and that
(No, no, no, no, no!)
Well, you can't tell me what to do!
Well, you can't tell me what to do!
(Hey, fuck you!)

Classix Nouveaux: "Run Away"

So you thought you'd lost me - buried and forgotten
Wriggle round inside, you won't escape from this one
So you think you know me, it's all coming back no
Well you should, you made me, memories flood back now
I am a faded memory
You'll never get away from me

You can never run away
Away from me
You can never run away
I'm gonna catch you see
You can never run away
From me

Well they said your past would catch up with you one day
Never thought that it would happen to you this way
Never gonna leave you, I've come to remind you
Of the things you've don you thought you'd left behind you
I am a faded memory
You'll never get away from me

You can never run away... etc

Telex: "Haven't we met somewhere before". From the album "Sex (Birds and Trees)" (1981) link here

(Ron and Russell Mael / Michel Moers, Thanks to Åke Liljan Liljekvist)

Haven't we met somewhere before ?
Haven't we met somewhere before ?

In 42 you had a flat and asked for help
I got a pump, an'got your name, I fixed the thing
You offered to pay me, but I refused
We settled for a dinner - or am I confused
One, two, three times, yeah i'm gonna ask:
"aren't we married" ?

In 52 we had Sue, she loved us
All you're friends thought she looked more like you
I'd give her candy - I spoiled her
Her teeth will fall out is what you'd say
One, two, three times, yeah I'm gonna ask:
"aren't we married" ?

Dont you remember ?
I think I do
Don't you remember ?
I'm sure I do
You don't know me ? Aint seen me before ?
Or was that you in a film I saw ?

I guess my facts all wrong
There never was you, there never was Sue
Wait, you say, you now think you've knowned me from the past
But now I'm really convinced, I don't know you !
And if I were asked, I'd have to tell you dear
"no, we're not married" ?

I don't remember
You've mistaken
I can't remember
You're mistaken
I don't know you, aint seen you before
Or was that me in a film you saw ?

Dramatis: "Oh 2025" from "For Future Reference"

I know a time called then When we were only men And to be alive Just meant you hadn't died
Time can't erase
Heartbeats
Out of phase
And your empty eyes
Don't seem to want to realise
Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men
And in the automat
!!! [sound effect]
And that was that
We didn't mess with time
Knock things out of line
Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men
And in the dreamless night
I pulse
Out of sight
Am I the only man
No part of any plan
Before the age of clean
Before the power screen
Before the maser beam
Before my world was only me
Oh we were young and free
You can't alter me
So now you keep me here
Is this law
Or is it fear
Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men
LEAD VOCALS - RRussell

Klaatu: "Mr Manson"

He looks at the girls with his evil eye
Makes them wish they were someplace else
He'll twist their thoughts
With his pretty words
Make them extensions of himself
He's the reincarnation of Hitler
The daughter of the devil, all right
Tell me won't you Mister Manson
Do you sleep at night?

Well he'd like to melt your mind
With hydrochloric acid in a little pill
He'll take a thing called love
And make you hate it
And claim to cure your ills
He took the madness of a generation
And made them madder still
Tell me won't you Mister Leary
Keep your little pills

He'll fill you with his empty statements
Directed to a fool
Then he'll ignore his own unending speeches
And bend the golden rule
In the name of God, he'll tell you
But is he better than all the rest
Let me tell you Mister Preacher
Jesus has been and left

Let me tell you Mister Manson
Jesus has been and left
