This is not comme il faut
It's no respectable affair[3]
I know I lost my head
I'm burning bridges everywhere My heart, my head, my brains
My senses don't make sense at all
The bar sign prints your name
Over and over on the wall
And I can't take it anymore
Chime little bells big bells
I try to touch a woman cactus
I see those empty streets
I'm walking 'round legs up head down
My lamp burns all the night
I've lost the map of this old town
And I can't take it anymore[1]
Chime little bells big bells
I try to touch a woman cactus I know it hurts to touch a woman
With those needles and pins[2]
This is not comme il faut
It's no respectable affair This time I leave the clock

cubism to the essence of God, showing paintings of the Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan on the front page of the paper edition.
The internet edition of Trouw features a related article on the same date (see also: Trouw - Modern art and religion do not conflict).
