Singer Huub van der Lubbe decided to call it quits after 40 years. Most iconic Dutch band ever. Not sure about their best song but this one comes close.

Itā€™s raining in the streets
Thereā€™s nobody in town
Everyone is drinking beer beer in the cafe
*And who doesnā€™t drink is driving *
And splashes my trouserā€™s legs
'Cause none of my friends took me along

Thereā€™s nobody in town

And Pauly overdose(d)
Thatā€™s seven years ago
I still canā€™t get used to the idea
It was a night like this
It was quiet on the bridge
But now I understand why he did it

Thereā€™s nobody in town
Nobody in town

Robbie has left
Because robbie he was broken
With half the force after him
Because he couldnā€™t stand (policemenā€™s) hats
And he was only looking for happiness
He went as a stoker on a freighter
And Nel is dead and Mom and Chrissy
Everyone just dies
And the rest drinks beer in the cafe

Itā€™s raining in the streets
Thereā€™s nobody in town
'Cause none of my friends took me

Thereā€™s nobody in town
Nobody in town

Nobody in town
None of my friends took me

Statement of Pride: a fire inside

Everything seems so negative
But I wonā€™t admit defeat
The world keeps coming down on me
But my heart still beats
Thereā€™s a fire inside
Can you feel it ?
