Break down, break down
Gotta spread upendo around

Brothers and sisters feel fine
It's the time of your lives

No sound, no sound
Let this feeling you've found
Let this feeling you've found
But just stay down

So stay down
And sometimes you'll feel
And it's me they're looking for
And it's me
I will never survive
But we'll be around some more

Come on, my nyota is fading
And I swerve out of control
If i, if I'd only waited
I'd not be stuck here in this hole
Come here my nyota is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I've got to get out of this hole
But time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing wewe down and all around
It's no cause for concern
Come on, oh my nyota is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I'm dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath
And time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing wewe down
And all around, no
It's no cause for concern
Stuck on the end of this ball and chain
And I'm on my way back down again
Stood on a bridge, tied to the noose
Sick to the stomach
wewe can say what wewe mean
But it won't change a thing
I'm sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge, tied to a noose
wewe came along and wewe cut me loose
wewe came along and wewe cut me loose
wewe came along and wewe cut me loose.
And I swerve out of control
If i, if I'd only waited
I'd not be stuck here in this hole
Come here my nyota is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I've got to get out of this hole
But time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing wewe down and all around
It's no cause for concern
Come on, oh my nyota is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I'm dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath
And time is on your side

I'm sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge, tied to a noose
wewe came along and wewe cut me loose
wewe came along and wewe cut me loose
wewe came along and wewe cut me loose.
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
kwa a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If wewe upendo me
Won't wewe let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog
Became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the kuvuka, msalaba was held aloft
Bury me in honor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze
If wewe upendo me
Won't wewe let me know?
I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow
Far below
So if wewe upendo me
Why'd wewe let me go?
I took my upendo down to violet hill
There we sat in the snow
All that time
She was silent still
So if wewe upendo me
Won't wewe let me know?
If wewe upendo me
Won't wewe let me know?

Sunlight opened up my eyes
To see for the first time it opened them up
And tonight rivers will run dry
Not for the first time rivers will run
Hundreds of years in the future
There could be computers looking for life on Earth
Don't fight for the wrong side
Say what wewe feel like
Say how wewe feel
wewe go backwards but then wewe go forwards again
wewe go backwards but then wewe go
Created then drilled and invaded
If somebody made it someone will mess it up
And wewe are not wrong to
Ask who does this belong to
It belongs to all of us
wewe go backwards but then wewe go forwards again
wewe go backwards but then wewe go forwards
wewe go backwards but then wewe go forwards again
wewe go backwards but then wewe go forwards

They were sitting
They were sitting on the strawberry Swing
Every moment was so precious
They were sitting
They were talking under strawberry Swing
Everybody was for fighting
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing
Cold, cold water bring me 'round
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Cold, cold water what ya say?
When it's such…
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
I remember
We were walking up to strawberry Swing
I can't wait until the morning
Wouldn't wanna change a thing
People moving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don't wewe wanna just curve away?
When it's such…
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
Ahhh...
Now the sky could be blue
I don't mind
Without wewe it's a waste of time
Could be blue
I don’t mind
Without wewe it’s a waste of time
Could be blue,
Could be gray
Without wewe I’m just miles away
Could be blue
I don’t mind
Without wewe it’s a waste of time
