Golden Earring - The Switch Lyrics






So when all things come to an end
Deadly switches all close at hand
Make your dreams and duties mingle
Laws and morals are finally bend
Holy switch, will you defend

Switching all the time
Switching ain't no crime
Gotta change the climate
Gotta raise my rate
You see a boy in motion
Is never much too late

Switching's easy
Oh it's essential and you know
When you flick it
You can start a new episode

Warm love can costume hatred
And the truth could be a lie
Yes a man can switch to a lady
Of indiscrete last goodbyes
And a blade can switch behind you
When you expect shells from the sky
Oh you go when it's your time

Switching down the line
Switching ain't no crime
Gotta change the climate
Gotta raise my rate
You see a boy in motion
Is never much too late

Switching's easy
Oh it's essential and you know
When you flick it
You can start a new episode

Switching's easy
Oh it's essential and you know
When you flick it
You can start a new episode

Switching's easy
Oh it's essential and you know
When you flick it

  3. A.... G....

    My favorite Golden Earring album. I played it about 200 times when it came out and bought it. I grew up near The Hague. I saw them once playing with .38 Special In Honolulu. I still play it loudly in my car. You should start your GE collection with this. The Dutch Rolling Stones! All tracks are perfect.

  4. N.... v....

    DO NOT SWITCH

  5. E.... F....

    I started listening to golden earring when I was stationed in germany, I discovered german albums were a lot better than American albums because they were thicker, I loved the album moontan and another group wishbone ash. I saw uriah heep in a school gyymnasium. It was a crazy time.

  6. A.... P....

    Entire album Classic rock. 1975 vintage.... thanks. Now I'm going to light up....ya.

  7. D.... B....

    I have had a knife pulled on me twice. No cuts, just the presentation of the blade. You see it, and you're not the same. It's like a switch.

  8. p.... v....

    Thank you so much G-E , 'm proud !

  9. S.... E....

    The best live band I ever heard.

  10. R.... ....

    I had everything Golden Earring from Moontan up. I even had Something Heavy Going Down Live on cassette and CD.

    R.... ....

    Their early stuff is good too. Im talking late 60s and up. From "the golden Earring" and up.

  11. L.... M....

    This is so good

  12. h.... m....

    2 thumbs down realy?!?!

    h.... m....

    I bet they influenced a lot of bands around them at that time

  13. h.... m....

    why were they not bigger in the U.S. oh I remember fans are stupid

    h.... m....

    heavy music fans ain’t stupid. Radio politics are.

    h.... m....

    Yeah! Just like you are!

  14. j.... j....

    If I had to say I have a favorite band, it would be without a doubt Golden Earring

  15. w.... l....

    mooi echte haagse beat net als de haagse puch klasse

  16. R.... S....

    great album .used to listen many years back love album cover .drunk a lot of vodka and played this one

    R.... S....

    Good o'l days..."

  17. M.... v....

    When I grew up in Holland in the 70's & 80's GE was not considered a really cool band, sort of low-brow. Now, in retrospect, I think they have done some really weird stuff. Great back-catalogue to browse. Do check out the live clip of N.E.W.S., about ten years after The Switch.....

  18. T.... W....

    Another bargain in the bin at TG & Y bardstown

  19. J.... L....

    golden erring was and still is one of the most underated bands of all time, simply awesome what they were putting out

  20. M.... ....

    Man don't get me started on radio in the U.S. They play better American music in Europe on the radio.

    M.... ....

    Damn capitalist radio

  21. E.... H....

    FOCUS!!! Whoa, I haven't thought of them in 35 years. Thanks for the reminder!

  22. E.... L....

    look for the dutch band FOCUS also great stuff there or TRACE to name a few! good luck on your search, if you hunt diligently you are bound to unearth some treasures!

  23. E.... L....

    because the radio today is geared for CRAP mainly unless its an oldies station in which ncase they still dont play stuff like this so you have you tube as your asylum!

  24. G.... C....

    awesome i love this album why don't they ever play this on the radio?

  25. B.... U....

    great guitar work, including the rhythm guitar
