De Zee Roept is a CD/photobook package by Meindert Talma (music) and Tryntsje Nauta (photography). Kelderkoorts and Je Denkt Dat Het Komt are also autobiographical novels, parts 1 and 2 of Talma's autobiographical memoirs ('Nederlandse Onbekendste Popster', or 'The Netherlands' Least Known Pop Star') with the two albums as musical companions. Balsturig is accompanied by a booklet of articles by Talma himself and illustrations by Edd.

I would really love to know what the lyrics to this are. Heard it on zeilsteen and have been mesmerized by it.
Meindert Talma
Look, look quickly, there comes out of the blue,
the City Gnome on his racing bike.
With his hands in the stirrup, he pulls a brisk sprint.
He has a red beard, but looks like a child.
From his walkman sounds beep beep
modern synthesizer music.
He cycles through the city at lightning speed.
No one ever had a proper conversation with him.
Beep beep beep beep synthesizer music
is good for the soul of the City Gnome.
He is completely unfamiliar with how plants and animals live.
No one ever told him about this.
He has shoe size thirty four
with enough room for the toes.
His house is big enough for a woman with long legs.
But such women don’t want anything to do with him.
The City Gnome laughs about it.
He enjoys himself with riding hard and
beep beep beep beep synthesizer music
is good for the soul of the City Gnome.
After a few hours of cycling through the city
the City Gnome has had enough.
He cycles to his house. Makes a nice stew
and quickly grabs his laptop after dinner.
A big smile on his face
because via www.amazon.com
he orders all kinds of obscure synthesizer records
from Japan and the United States.
Beep beep beep beep synthesizer music
is good for the soul of the City Gnome.
