SS? Police? Arrest this one He’s talking mathematics and science I think he thinks he’s the new Einstein But he sounds more like a broken typewriter SS? Police? Arrest this one Her Hitler hairdo is making me nauseous Her intentions may be “virgin”-like But she took me by surprise overnight Play the records straight We have a shortness of offices SS? Police? Arrest this one Erasing the Icons from our pasts Listening to the music for the masses Peacefully mating to attuned rhythms Play the records straight We have a shortness of offices Before they were towed away I’ve arrested myself SS? Police? Arrest this one Trashed my office for the second time They will stop at nothing: it’s just business But it kills me to read their Voodoo-economics Play the records straight We have a shortness of offices Before they were towed away I’ve arrested myself

At the end of a long, long day Begins another evening I've seen a shooting star They say it comes by every Century We picked a funny name One in a very good season To me you're not much a woman I had no business Playing with you On the way to Bethlehem Labor set in an hour ago There must be a conventions in town Every inn 'round here seems to be Overbooked At the end of a long, long day Begins another evening To me you're not much a woman But you come by every Century

Old Friend 04:07
Hear this from your dear old friend Been on a trail of blood I say: "Amen" "Greed is a gift," said The Son of Sam Now hear this prayer form your dear old friend Hear this from your dear old friend Been on a trail of blood I say: "Amen" "Greed is a gift," said The Son of Sam Now hear this prayer from your dear old friend You play with my trigger Then you blame my gun Feel the wasteland of romance Begging you to give this love a chance Been on a trail of blood I say: "Amen" Did you hear that from your old friend? You play with my trigger Then you blame my gun

I went down to Arizona And I've been there forty days I met someone special out here Do you remember the day we said: there will come a morning when you will be mine One morning you will be mine I lived down in Arizona I lived there for forty days I used to live next to the milkman I used to witness his early morning parade I went down to Arizona I've been there forty days And I know one morning you will be mine

Did you finally? Lost yourself? Put all your dreams on the shelve? For all to see? Did you break down for parenthood? Find a place in your neighborhood? Aha! Made the scene in your travesty? Found Plato's philosophy? Your life for rent? Did the schoolboy just break your heart? Made the runway? In punk? E? Charts? Aha! The package in your drag was lit like another fag So all falls down? Take a zip of your new perfume? Why did it all die so soon? Aha! So bow your head to his lazy stare Got barbwire tinted hair Found out today They tried to drown you in the pool? At that boring neo-Hitler school? Aha! Did you finally? Lost yourself? Put all your dreams on the shelve? For all to see? Did you break down for parenthood? Find a place in your neighborhood? Aha!

Screw (live) 05:12
That coked out bitch Got me shaving my legs Got me shaving my chest Got me shaving my head And I love to watch When you nail her That picture of Jesus is crawling up my sleeves I say: Bring your kin when you can't handle me Another pilot down And you love to control her I love the sounds you make when you're crawling on your knees And she does cocaine When she plays the heroin The Exodus flashing like a zen-tune from her sparks I say: Bring your kin when you can't handle me And if you want me to I could hurt you You won't use that whip just to get me closer to you And if you want me to I could hurt you I won't use a whip just to get closer to you I say: Bring your kin when you can't handle me I say: Come, screw me! I say: Come!

Oui, Je Sais 04:04
Suicide must be lovely when you're seventeen And you have no friends That joy division brought me the rope around my neck This should reveal what state I'm in Baby, I got this blues for you You want to try to make me happy Baby, have I got news for you: I'll never be happy! Your sickness is my health Your brain thinks for me Your heart pumps my blood Your dick is mine, horny The honeycomb I sucked from your girlfriend The honey that I licked from her cunt You know I'd like to be around you You know I'll be this hard when I wasn't down But, baby, have I got news for you All this is 'cause of you Your cup is running over with bullshit from your mouth You think I'll be this clover When something went down south I have the blues for you in The Big Apple

Fever Flow 04:36
When will fever flow? It's only a piece of fabric But is has the power of speech She'll be there with her new boyfriend Go along, let's see what she's given up Some people surprise us Make us think different or just think Byron is a top-athlete Super-model, husband and father Small-town-man, the guy next door In touch of today with one step ahead Against the grain, unbounded On the search for new expressions, blend the music with art Mold us future and dreams The sky is the limit When will fever flow?

Cruel 04:16
Many days in strange devotion Teenage-angst has served us well Many bloods be soon discovered Conquer past-time blasphemy "Each desire is not a new one," magazines (the left wing) wrote Cradle days and bruising patches Not to leave the blame with you Well, You're cruel So cruel You're so cruel Feel the mess we shall uncover Pages turning Severed youth Everyone will be the same one Filling cages in your zoo Well, You're cruel So cruel You're so cruel Lifting steps to turn the stiff stones Minor bombings clean the wells You're shifting gears to leave me lonely I feel the griping of the noose You're cruel So cruel You're so cruel

When the bad angel kissed the taste of his sangria lips, I saw a dirty couple spread "The amber inside the piss" Stay tuned in for the magazines Style Plastic Magical dreams Lap-dancing to the stereo Three The amber of a hungry scream He said I was a love-machine He could have seen it in his dreams He said I was a love-machine He could have quit the winning team He said: "Is that what I taste your juice? The satellite motion of your fluids? Sponges reaching for the drinks?" Is this really what you think? So, when the bad angel kissed the taste of his sangria lips, I saw a dirty couple spread "The amber inside the piss" He said I was a love-machine He could have seen it in his dreams He said I was a love-machine He could have quit the winning team

Last Day 02:03
There could be danger Leaving it out here Terrence stayed in anger Nobody leaves their fears This could be our last day together This could be our last day Stealing wood-chips from the mines Clever youth brings terror And is there a way to get out of this? What could we have done it for? This could be our last night together This could be our day This could be our last night together This could be our last day When you touch it (and they're all out there) There's no way we could fail this dance There could be danger Leaving it out here Don't you stay in anger Nobody leaves their fears This could be the last day together This could be our last year This could be the last week together This could be our last day

Quite Awake 01:15
It's like honey in my mouth Your golden shower flowing down I'm shut up with wonder What we would feel like together I'm wrapped up like a gift Open up before I start to drift Just: pebble by pebble As sweet as I can feel I'm right with you I am exquisite, I am violent And I'm just so crazy I live to die in your arms I'm back outside your door And you don't touch me anymore And when I'm touching you The full weight of you Is in top of me sleeping And when you wake I'm quite awake I'm quite awake

Easter Jesus 02:29
Your message came like a shock to me "Driving and hiding underneath my skinned tree" You know what you know and you know you know it so well There's the light We leave light Shine in the middle And the Devil's made him crawl on his knees Freedom lies Untie the deepest stitch There with me Donna lies somewhere beyond the slightest grey Fallen from the undertow To travel away There's stardust all over the floor When you open your senses for more And cruelty deeper than Heaven's door Eric says Neil will be behind the terror Evermore Lines are here to stay Donna will take it away But what's another day? And what the hell can I say?

Suitcase 05:18
In the company of my moral fiber My razed Oravice will swap it Aware? But I'll survive My access was certainly not sheltered Pending a solitary date an illicit came cocking But I'll survive Even narrow eyes could see that soiled stuff festers The stuff that destroys But I'll survive Contracted intelligence could stalk it so i expire a minute to acquire it But I'll survive I reserved it in a crate Watched it howling But prepared it to dwell But I'll survive However, I never learned how I'll survive

Kissing 04:58
I reply to your smile I was lost for a while Like a child in the night Afraid of the light I'm trying hard to fight To keep you from leaving I try to walk on by but I had to reach you You were longing for something I got nothing to teach you Except my memories of flesh against the scorn Now the clouds roll on and on Our kissing makes me heading for a fall There's hazard out there And it just isn't fair You're like the folks on the hills Denied for their skills I'm trying hard to chill But your face - it remains I try to walk on by but I had to reach you You were longing for something But I got nothing to teach you Except my memories of flesh against the scorn Now the clouds roll on and on Our kissing makes me heading for a fall

Dry your tears, dry your tears with me And give it to me completely And rest assured I will fall for you So sleep a while with me Dream a while with me Let us Let us break all their rules "A Singer Must Die" That's what the poet once sang Lovely, lovely, isn't it? Little do we know Little do you know You know so little You know so little But I know I know so much Yes, I'm sure I know so much Because I know where the birds all fly And I know where the comets go And I know where the car is parked And I know why I'm afraid in the dark And I know the singer must die I said: "this singer must die" This singer has to die A singer must die This singer has to die This singer has to die To die He must die He must die

One day you'll die Then I'm all alone Nobody really likes me With my friends I don't feel quite at home Oh, God, the ache Of such a surprise Considered I'd never break Feeling like ice Hey, I'm glad you're my lover Hey, you float right above me I've drifted away Till the day you came Yeah, Jean is the one He's got it all made He goes to parties Looks good in the shade I am a nice guy I am slightly mad But I am a genius But I still feel sad These little voices They whisper in my ears They tell me I'm ugly So I check the mirror Hey, I'm glad you're my lover Hey, You float right above me I've drifted away 'Till the day you came

about

the very best of !JP...
Bio: !JP was a Dutch rock band formed in Amsterdam. Active from 1988 to 2010, their best-known members were Jean Koning, Van Weely and Sylvia Selhorst, who all went on to find success as solo artists with the exception of Van Weely, who made career in the world of sports.
Although experiencing little commercial success while together, the band is often cited by many critics as one of the most important and influential groups from the Dutch underground scene. An often-repeated statement, made by Brian Molco in a 1999 interview, is that while the !JP albums may have sold only 3,000 copies, "everyone who bought one of those copies started a band." - much like a statement once made for The Velvet Underground, a band Koning states as the main influence for their ways of recording albums.
New York City's Steven Green managed !JP and it was on of the house bands at the Zaanse squatting scene at 2B, and during experimental music-theater events. The provocative lyrics of some of the band's songs gave a nihilistic outlook to some of their music.
Founded in the late Eighties, !JP drives on folk, blues and jazz. However, ever since the early beginnings of the band, front-man Jean Koning successfully mixes these influences with avant-garde, punk and pure rock 'n' roll.
With the attraction of multi-instrumentalist Van Weely to the band, in the Nineties, !JP is known to "reinvent" itself with every album they produce. Influenced by the works of The Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits, Babatunde Olatunji and Bo Diddley records, throughout the existence of the band, they were one of the few who successfully mixed art, music, theater, literature, pop-art, fashion and energetic live-performances.
In 2003 the band was honored with a best-performance and best-music-group award, at the same time Koning was stated as a extremely gifted songwriter.
