Some of your dreams will die
Those that were worth a fight
They will burn
like old love does
Like old love letters do
Are we to let love go?
let love know
It's always not so good for us
I ran up all my tab on us
Some of you sacrificing
So much that I'm denying
Are we to let love go?
let love know
And then you meet the ones
The ones that were meant to be
Are we dead yet?
Ke zama go itebatsa (Trying to forget)

In me a little warrior
Goes forth & stalls
Dreaming of all that's glorious
It was a bit too loud
I missed my calling
Tsotsi kgale o wa (Hustler you’ve been falling)
So you cry a little more...
Warrior things is
Things are looking down
In me a little warrior
Goes forth & stalls
Dreaming of all that's glorious
It was a bitter love
I missed my calling

Things will fall apart
As will the continents of my heart
And far and very far
We tripped and flipped
the day we met here
Just like tripped
on why is it you came here
The next step is
demanding and numbing
Left standing here:
I’m dreaming of nowhere
So vaya le nna... (Go with me)

Confided

Even though you confided
Every shape
Every sign
You should know you will find it
You can go I won’t mind
With all your force
between your lines
Stay the course
Stay behind
Even though you confided
With every shame
With every smile
You erase
You define them
Even though you decided
You alone

You chose to see god in the clouds
I seek him amongst folk
And now you want to cry when i say
I never found him
I never found her
I never found them
But I’m surrounded
Today I walked a colony of ants
To its nest to get some rest
And now you want to cry when i say
I never fed them
I never saw them
I never harmed them
But I’m surrounded
A ke tsamayeng
(Let me go)
Le a nthiba: le a ntshira
( you are blocking me)
A ke tsamayeng
Love is wondering which heavens we go to

Tse ke di batlang di fete(My wants may pass me)
Tse Ke di tshabang di mpitse (My fears may call me)
Don’t go hunting anymore
The god of those that don’t get
Has your back and has my back
Leave our hearts
hanging on his door
Don’t go running along the shore
Be the first to know what it’s for
Diving down in shallow ends
Leaves your heart wanting more
I live alone
You live alone
We live alone to stay afloat
Resilient
You didn’t save my life this morning
You helped to kill the one before this
Resilient

The sky's opened up a bit
These eyes never been as close to this infinite
Where my eyes rest their feet
I eat from there
Blue is my eyes truth
I move towards a new move
Limited was my love for you
Limiting
I was limited

Throw It All Away

So who do I tell now?
how my heart took a stroll around
And found the sweetest man aboard
A flight scheduled for a life abroad
Who do I tell now?
Enjoy it
Tuck in under the armpit of it
I spend my mornings
Forgetting about you
I get to bed I’m wasted
On what I barely tasted
Day jobs have got me
for days
(make a little cash so I can blow it all on you)
I’m willing to wait for you
to slip and say it first
say it first man...
Say it faster
than the days that became a week
became our last week
days love has got me
For days
(making so much love I could throw it all away)

Someone will know
And love you a decade before
Before anyone
or even you know
Before any war
God or evil you know
They loved you before.
Peo se e fitlhilwe(You hid a seed)
Mmung wa me(In my soil)
E o tsela re e fitile(We’ve passed that road)
Morago fa le
Ga re tsofale (Back there where we don’t age)
Ga re tsofale (We don’t age)
Ga re tsoma (When we hunt)

In front of you
The front of me
I turned and tossed the day’s light
out your eyes/life
We turned, we tossed the day’s light
Dangerous Mind
Your smile was bought
With two pints of beer
Two minds that fear
Each other’s highs
And maybe you will tell the truth
Of how lonely it’s been here for you

Thaba South Africa

supported by 12 fans who also own “Eyes Rest Their Feet”
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
