Turn & Forget

I trusted them!
The air was so warm
The night was so cool and then the wine dropped
Then we chose to run away
I never thought I’d go astray
Believe me now!
My friends say to me
We run down the path to get away, quickly
A different side of the city
A little dark and gritty
I say to them!
It’s getting so late
They comfort me with their sweet songs
I don’t know how I’ve come this far
The clouds eclipse the stars
We are your friends!
There’s no need to fear
We’ll come back with you now to your place
They say we could not be apart
For it would break their hearts
Now I see clear
My lesson’s learned
Don’t trust what you get
If it seems too good to be true
Turn and forget
Our time is short
Don’t waste your breath
On raising sunsets
There’s nothing left to comfort you
Just pain and regret
We found our way!
Back to my room
My friends all stand and loom around me
Then they joke and laugh
Let’s take a photograph
The hours pass!
My eyes are so weak
My head hits the bed no turning back
I say they should stay with me
No one to disagree
Then there was hush!
My head filled with fuzz
The room was a womb, I threw my cares away
I could not stay awake
Sleep was my mistake
Now I see clear
My lesson’s learned
Don’t trust what you get
If it seems too good to be true
Turn and forget
Our time is short
Don’t waste your breath
On raising sunsets
There’s nothing left to comfort you
Just pain and regret
The morning glow!
The sun hit the wall
My eyes search the room my senses dull
Have they gone to a cafe
How long have they been away
Where are my things?!
My wallet, my phone
The watch that my uncle gave to me
I didn’t see deceit
Now my journey’s bittersweet
Now I see clear
My lesson’s learned
Don’t trust what you get
If it seems too good to be true
Turn and forget
Our time is short
Don’t waste your breath
On raising sunsets
There’s nothing left to comfort you
Just pain and regret
Now I see clear
My lesson’s learned
Don’t trust what you get
If it seems too good to be true
Turn and forget
They left me here
With nothing but
Passport and ticket
Now onto Nigeria
To seek employment
Yeah, I know… look, I didn’t know… it’s just
Look, I thought they were really cool… can you?
OK, can you just call the bank, please? OK, thank you

Ajebutter! Go out and work all day
Ajebutter! It’s the working man’s way
Ajebutter! In the concrete jungle
Ajebutter! Africa’s Hollywood struggle
Ajebutter! There’s no holiday
Ajebutter! No time to laugh and play
Ajebutter! Caught up here all day
Ajebutter!
Get up every morning
Hostel I must clean
Go up in the evening
Wash the sheets on thirteen
In the daily grind and push
You have no power here
In the daily grind and push
You have no power here
In the daily grind and push
You have no power here, la la la la
Got no money so far
Boss he sleeps all day, all night
Guests don’t clean up nothing, no way
Why’s my money delayed?
I have to clean the toilet
I have to mop the floor
I have to fix the table
I have to serve the food
Sweep the floor
Make the coffee
Take the money
I take my food
I eat my lunch
Fix the sink
Clean the desk
I eat my dinner
I work for free
Work for nothing
They laugh at me
They laugh at me!
They say I’m slow
They say I’m lazy
They say I’m spoiled
They say I’m
Ajebutter! Money’s all gone
Ajebutter! It’s the working man’s way
Ajebutter! In the concrete jungle
Ajebutter! Africa’s Hollywood struggle
Ajebutter! There’s no holiday
Ajebutter! No time to laugh and play
Ajebutter! Caught up here all day
Ajebutter!
Ugh, sweating and working and working all day
Postman should have been here by now
It’s been weeks, and I still haven’t gotten my card
Thought I’d be on a sunny beach by now
Just waiting and waiting, no money, just waiting
Ajebutter!
Ajebutter! It’s the working man’s way
Ajebutter! In the concrete jungle
Ajebutter! Africa’s Hollywood struggle
Ajebutter! There’s no holiday
Ajebutter! No time to laugh and play
Ajebutter! Caught up here all day
Ajebutter! Ahh!

I am the Man

Welcome to amazing Madagascar!
Jungles, beaches, diving and more!
Madagascar is a dream for outdoor lovers
And half the fun is getting to all these far out locations!
I am the man, I can do anything
Nothing now can stand in my way
I am the man, I can do anything
I roam the world, now seizing my day
I am the man, I can do anything
My card’s arrived, now I’ve got cash
I am the man, I can do anything
Cross the river, I know we won’t crash
Here we stand again
A raging river needs crossing
You think you know better?!
A leaping lemur’s grin
The heart of a crocodile is beating
You think you know better?!
It’s a deadly sin
To bite off more while you’re still eating
You think you know better?!
Boat driver won’t go in
White waters storming, life’s too fleeting
You think you know better?!
I am the man, I can do anything
Nothing now can stand in my way
I am the man, I can do anything
I roam the world, now seizing my day
I am the man, I can do anything
Nothing now can stand in my way
I am the man, I can do anything
I roam the world, now seizing my day
No way! You think I ain’t seen this before?
No way! Had rattlesnakes outside my door
No way! Rode rivers that can bite and roar
No way! Just cross, it ain’t that far to shore
Here we stand again
A raging river needs crossing
You think you know better?!
A leaping lemur’s grin
The heart of a crocodile is beating
You think you know better?!
It’s a deadly sin
To bite off more while you’re still eating
You think you know better?!
Boat driver won’t go in
White waters storming, life’s too fleeting
You think you know better?!
OK! We set out for the distant shore
OK! I’ll pay you double, maybe more
OK! Slappin’ against the river’s roar
OK! Waves crashing, boat can’t take no more
In the roaring silence
Floating helplessly
Kissed by drops of water
As the boat recedes
All my life it flashes
Back in slow motion
And I know who I am
You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything
Waters too rough, get smacked broadside
You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything
You sputter ashore, soaking wet pride
You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything
Strong swimmers can still sink and die
You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything
You know no one leaves this world alive
You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything
Waters too rough, get smacked broadside
You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything
You sputter ashore, soaking wet pride
You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything
Strong swimmers can still sink and die
You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything
You know no one leaves this world alive
Ugh, hey! I’m tring to eat here! Can you put your seat up?!
