Oxford
Verse 1: I’m looking for a place I can call my own
I’m looking for a somewhere I belong
Look the bus is leaving
I don’t know: The road might be long
With my green suitcase, my teddy and me
Verse 2: So tell me does this road lead to London town?
Is it true that they can never stop the rain?
A million different houses
I don’t know: to me they all look the same
With my A to Z, my tube guide and me
Verse 3: I’m lost and I don’t know where I wanna go
This London is a world within a world
I’ve got a two-zone ticket
I don’t know: can green hair be fun?
Look a nose earring and nails painted blue
Verse 4: Left London for a place I can call my own
I love the funny faces on the walls
Oxford tube is leaving
Yes I know: the roads not to long
For a real doughnut, A walk in the sun
It’s a place I know: Oxford my home!

Look Out for the Man

Look out for the man
Verse 1:Look out for the man with the blue blue eyes
Look out for the man with the bedroom eyes
He makes you believe all his cunning lies
And he might just want to keep you warm tonight
Verse 2: An I say no no, honey no
Take your hat and your coat I don’t wanna know
The passions alive and resistance low
You will change my life and the you’ll leave me cold
Chorus: And this is my only life
Maybe my one last chance
I had some fun and joy and laughs
And now it s just me
Verse 3: It’s hallo and goodbye
Exactly what I knew
This mystery man he made sure I’d loose
All in a kiss I could not refuse
One naked offbeat week forever changed my life
Coda: And now it’s just me
It’s just me
Oooh it’s just me

Jessie
Verse 1: She brought the spring with bluebells and brooks
Rivers of love and birds that sing so brightly
I lost my man: and I’m sad to say I loved him
But I’m glad he found someone like you
Chorus: Jessie his heart was never mine
You were there long before I came
Jessie his love would never die
Jessie now it’s just me
Verse 2: Sweet honey lips with dark shiny hair
Smiling her charm: she’s twenty-one and lovely
In Stellenbosch no man could quite resist you
I’m the ugly one: you had it all
Chorus: Jessie his heart was never mine
You were there long before I came
Jessie his love would never die
Jessie now it’s just me
Verse 3: A floral dress a touch of perfume
A blossom in bloom: She’s a vision of the morning
I know my man: he tried so hard to love me
But no heart can lie: it’s only you…
Chorus: Jessie his heart was never mine
You were there long before I came
Jessie his love would never die
Jessie now it’s just me
Coda: OO I could never be the woman you are
Jessie now it’s just me
Jessie now it’s just me
Jessie now it’s just me

Sweet Sweet

Sweet sweet
Sweet sweet and ever so gently
Sweet sweet and ever so gentle and ever so gentle you are
And where do you come from love
And can I follow you there?
Can I follow you there?
I don’t wanna feel more loneliness
My whole life was filled with emptiness
Hollow footsteps passing by my door
I don’t know them but I wish I did
Oh how many times a heart can die
Without the comfort of another soul
It leaves you broken,
Broken as you see me
So many voices, voices without names
But I don’t know them
‘cause I know their eyes will bring the pain
And I have a heart, I can feel the pain
I know what they say
I know what they say
They turn my world they turn it upside down
But I am human I am man

Happiness Found Me
02:25

Happiness
Recitative: Home is not a place, it’s not people
It’s the you inside, the warmth you set aflutter
Verse 1: I thought a New World would make me happy
But it only brought new faces, new mountains, more rain
I thought an old friend would make me happy
So I’d bring her along and we’re off to see the world
Bridge: But isn’t there more to life than this
Could there be simple things we miss?
Cause if you know who you are
Happiness can’t be far
Chorus: Happiness found me before I saw the world
Happiness found me before the money
Happiness found me after all my friends have gone
It was the smile that reached across the room
It was the eyes that touched my soul
Cause if you know who you are
Happiness can’t be far oh no no
Verse 2: I thought more money
Would make me happy
But it only brought more tension, more worries more pain
I thought a new love would make me happy
So he took what I had and left without a word
Bridge: But isn’t there more to life than this
Could there be simple things we miss?
Cause if you know who you are
Happiness can’t be far
Chorus: Happiness found me before I saw the world
Happiness found me before the money
Happiness found me after all my friends have gone
It was the smile that reached across the room
It was the eyes that touched my soul
Cause if you know who you are
Happiness can’t be far oh no no

How long can your love wait?
Tell me how long can your love wait?
A lifetime is a long time
Can your love wait?
There’s a dream in me
I have to follow through
There’s a road ahead
I don’t know where it leads me
But don’t keep your distance
I need you to call
Over and over again
I read your letters again
I remember, do you remember
The times that we were close enough
The times that we were warm enough
Touch and feel the rhythm of love
Tell me how long can your love wait?
A lifetime is a long time
Can your love wait?
There’s a dream in me
I have to follow through
There’s a road ahead
I don’t know where it leads me
But don’t keep your distance
I need you to call
Over and over again
I read your letters again
I remember, do you remember
The times that we were close enough
The times that we were warm enough
Touch and feel the rhythm of love

This life is not a highway
Tell me why do I still need your love
Why do I still need your strength?
I must I will get over you
You forgot about me Long ago
Your silence is killing al my love
I must I will get over you
Oh I’m not the same I changed a lot
I’m not the woman you knew
Oh I miss you tonight
Wish I could take away all the tears I cried for you
But I guess you knew: everything would change
Oh this life is not a highway
The road always turns
May not know where you re
It takes you to places so far
You never knew you had to go
Thought I had the world
But I lost the world with you
I never knew it’d be o hard to let you go
If I knew the pain you’d bring would not have traveled this far, this far

I knew her name before her face
Bly dink aan jou as ek my kan kry
Vind my hart se voete oppad na jou
sien jou saam met haar
ek sien haar wen
O die lewe is so kort
Ek gun jou jou geluk
Is jy gelukkig?
Hierdie Zombie bestaan karring maar net aan
En aan
Dit voel vir my of iemand ‘n stukkie
‘n stukkie van my uitsny
Don’t tell me somebody’s crying
For that somebody’s me
I’ve done my share of crying
Now give me a chance to live again
You say I’m making a scene and I’ve not said a word
You’re kissing me and I’ve not said a word
And what’s the use of crying when it’s over and done with
And life, life just goes on
I loose the feeling oh I stumble and fall
Over memories of you
And when I see you with her wonder if you
ever loved meat all
I knew her name before her face
And there must be a bigger wheel turning, turning
Ruling our lives
Playing with hearts that never learn
Feeling again how love can burn
And then it leaves you cold alone
I know her name before her face

Stoot die blêddie bus
Vers 1: Van Kaapstad na Johannesburg in 19 solid ure
Dis Valies wat die bus bestuur en weet hul ooit waar’s Belville?
Ja ek’s laat vir my lift en laat vir my werk en ons stop aanmekaar
Ja ek’s laat vir my lift en laat vir my werk en ons stop aanmekaar
Brug :Want die bus is op vakansie
Ja die bus is op vakansie
Maar min geslaap en styf gesit
Want die bus is op vakansie
Koor:As hy nie wil ry nie trek hom
As hy nie wil loop nie dra hom
En as dit nie wil werk nie
Stoot die blêddie bus
Vers 2: Dat my tyd en jou tyd nou so gemors moet word
Dit gaan verstand te bowe: my senuwees is gaar
Ons poer-poer hier en die bus breek daar en ons stop aanmekaar
Ons poer-poer hier en die bus breek daar en ons stop aanmekaar
Brug : Want die bus is op vakansie
Ja die bus is op vakansie
Maar min geslaap en styf gesit
Want die bus is op vakansie
Koor: As hy nie wil ry nie trek hom
As hy nie wil loop nie dra hom
En as dit nie wil werk nie
Stoot die blêddie bus

Liefde Van Later

Liefde van later (J.Brel/L.Nijgh)
As liefde zoveel jaare kan duren ,
Dan moet’t ecgt wel liefde zijn.
Ondaks de vele kille uren,
De domme fouten en de pijn
Heel deze kamer om ons heen ,
Waar ons bed steeds heeft gestaan
Draagt sporen van een fel verleden,
De wilde hartstocht lijk nu heen ,
De zoete rasernij vergaan,
De wapens waar we toen mee streden
Koor: Ik hou van jou
Met heel m’n hart en ziel hou ik van jou
langs zon en maan
tot aan het ochtendblauw
Ik nog steed van jou
Jij kent nu al m’n slimme streken
Ik ken allang jouw heksenspel
Ik hoef niet meer om jou te smeken
Jij kent m’n zwakke plekken wel
Soms liet ek jou te lang alleen,
Misschien is wat je deed verkeerd
Maar ik had ook weleens vriendinnen
We waren jong en niet van steen,
Zo hebben we tocht geleerd
Je kunt altyd opnieuw beginnen
Koor
Were hebben zoveel jaar gestreden
tegen elkaar en met elkaar
Maar rustig leven en tevreden
is voor de liefde een gevaar
Jij huilt allang niet meer zo snel
Ik laat me niet zo vlug meer gaan
We houden onze woorden binnen
Maar al beheersen we’t spel,
Een ding blijft toch altijd bestaan
De zoete orlog van’t minnen.
Koor:…Voorgoed van jou…
Altijd van jou…
