THE DONKEY AND THE CARROT - DANDRUFF!!
This was a drawing first, now it's just confusing. Lyrics by Tuppus


A man is walking backwards through a storm.
He's got a white stick in his hands.
He sees about a million things flying through the air, and where they land.
He can only see what he has passed before, but he would really like to see some more.
So he wildly waves his stick behind him, into the storm's downpour.

There's a carrot and the donkey is not too far away.
Why don't you come and get it? Get it?
You're halfways.

He's analyzing history, while trying to see the future with his blind man's stick.
And just when he thinks he's getting somewhere, he feels the sudden blow of a falling brick.

So the donkey comes to a sudden stop because he sees the carrot before him has gone.
You see; when the donkey has got the carrot, that donkey sees no sense in moving on.

Jan became the best producer and sound engineer Groningen ever had, but his illness got the better of him and he took his life in 2002. We all still miss him. ... more
