ONE DAY SOON Words and Music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel One day soon You’re gonna find out who you’ve been talking to Your prayers for sins Line up you can be forgiven One day soon I’m gonna write it all down, mail it collect to you Walk on water I’m not the type to jump right in. I fall down Quicker than I can get up again So g-d I hope you win One day soon You’re gonna think this life right through Step on glass Could you tape it so that moment lasts One day soon You’re gonna get what’s due to you I’ll make it sting You’ll find out it amounts to nothing I fall down Quicker than I can get up again So g-d I hope you win Go G-d I really hope you win Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win (x3) For your love, your beliefs, all of my sins Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win For your love, your beliefs, all of my sins Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win One day soon They’re gonna box you in throw dust at you It’s hard to breath Especially when you’re six feet deep One day soon You’re gonna find out whose faith was true Either way - get ready for your judgment day I fall down Quicker than I can get up again So g-d I hope you win Go G-d I really hope you win Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win (x3) For your love, your beliefs, all of my sins Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win For your love, your beliefs, all of my sins Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win I really hope you win, you win Really hope you win I really hope you win you win I fall down Quicker than I can get up again I fall down Quicker than I can get up again I fall down Quicker than I can get up again So g-d I hope you win

Dr. Pepper 04:00

DR PEPPER Words and music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel Do you think of me on sunny days Or just when things get gloomy And the twisted little voice inside your head says you should? Is it better now to wake up with, This extra space around you And no one to ask you what it is you plan to do all day? Could someone come and save me from The things that I’ve been wishing for ‘Cause I don’t want to be in love or think about you anymore. Do you think of me when you’re doing fine Or just when you’re so wasted that, Someone’s required to tuck you into bed late at night? Is it better in your ideal world With no one keeping watch on you And commenting on all the things you keep locked inside? Could someone come and save me from The things that I’ve been wishing for ‘Cause I don’t want to be in love or think about you anymore. Could someone come and save me from The things that I’ve been wishing for ‘Cause I don’t want to be in love or think about you anymore. Do you think of me when you’re not alone So safe in someone else’s arms Pretend for just a second you were lying here with me? Is it better being free To realize your own reality And play the games you wanted to not thinking of the lives you ruin? Could someone come and save me from The things that I’ve been wishing for ‘Cause I don’t want to be in love or think about you anymore. Could someone come and save me from The things that I’ve been wishing for ‘Cause I don’t want to be in love or think about you anymore.

X-Rated Fun 04:57

X-RATED FUN Words and Music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel Could you come down from there a second Or are you too tired to listen? We’ll travel the path of the self-pitying soul Who got slammed by the facts once too often. So take what you get and build your own hill Get on washing life’s dirty dishes. They say the world is what you make it Well I don’t think you smile enough to make it any good! When it’s cold in the night and you’re alone getting lonely It’s warm in the fire ‘cause the fire’s been lit. I’m not the one with all the answers – my dear. I’m sure we concluded this conversation last year. So do we have to sit here drinking tea, Discussing options endlessly And commenting on all the things I’ve done? Can’t we just have x-rated fun? Could you come down from there a second Or are you too tired to hold my hand? We’ll travel the path of the self-seeking soul Who got caught by the option of giving. So take what you get and build another hill Get on colour coding your wishes. They say the world is what you make it Well I don’t think you wish enough to make it any good! When it’s cold in the night and you’re alone getting lonely It’s warm in the fire ‘cause the fire’s been lit. I’m not the one with all the answers – my dear. I’m sure we concluded this conversation last year. So do we have to sit here drinking tea Discussing options endlessly Commenting on all the things I’ve done? Can’t we just have x-rated fun? Could you come down from there a second Or are you too tired to watch me fly? We’ll travel the path of the ignorant soul Who’s got everything to fear from thinking. So take what you get and bury it somewhere Get on with your life it’s worth living. They say the world is what you make it Well I don’t think you think enough to make it any good! When it’s cold in the night and you’re alone getting lonely It’s warm in the fire ‘cause the fire’s been lit. I’m not the one with all the answers – my dear. I’m sure we concluded this conversation last year. So do we have to sit here drinking tea Discussing options endlessly And commenting on all the things I’ve done? Can’t we just have x-rated fun?

Indian Giver 03:40

INDIAN GIVER Words and Music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel Say, my love Do you still sit and think of me When things are dark behind the curtain you have drawn? Is it quiet in your backstage world The lights that burn through me For all the words I’ve given were meant as gifts to you from me. Did I do wrong Would you have done the same to me? Can’t take them back The words are sung and gone Say my love will this take you long? For if I can’t deliver Would you still call me the Indian giver When all your saints are falling down? So say my love. Say, my love Do you still sit and pray for me For all the deeds that I have done to bring you pain? And is it safe to say forever left us long before I gave My words to those who now believe I give and take so freely Did I do wrong? Would you have done the same to me? Can’t take them back The words are sung and gone So say my love will this take you long? For if I can’t deliver Would you still call me the Indian giver When all your saints are falling down? When all your saints are falling down So say, my love.

DELORISE’ POINT Words and Music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel I believe in doing whatever you find pleasing If you’re able to do it well It’s not in the action it’s just in the catching That makes things go so wrong See there’s love and there’s fucking Names and no asking There’s hotels and then there’s my backyard Why’d you have to do it Why’d you have to shame me Forgiving you is gonna be hard For making deals with the devil in the dark You know, you’re gonna get caught For making deals with the devil in the dark You know you’re gonna, you know you’re gonna, you know you’re gonna You two-timing bastard Don’t you know Heaven ain’t gonna save you if hells got your soul Two-timing bastard Don’t you know Heaven ain’t gonna save you if hells got your soul I believe in showing kindness without your lowness If you’re able to kiss and not tell It’s not in the action it’s in the location That’s making me pissed as hell See there’s low and there’s sinking Stupid and thinking There’s the car and then there’s my back yard Why’d you have to do it Why’d you have to shame me In the middle of my green lawn. For making deals with the devil in the dark You know you’re gonna, you know you’re gonna, you know you’re gonna You two-timing bastard Don’t you know Heaven ain’t gonna save you if hells got your soul Two-timing bastard Don’t you know Heaven ain’t gonna save you if hells got your soul I believe in keeping promises to keep till I die Put your wings on boy and fly It’s not in the action it’s just in whose watching That’s burning through my pride There’s discreet and there’s showing stupid and knowing There’s her place and my backyard Why’d you have to do it Why’d you have to shame me Who do you think you are For making deals with the devil in the dark You know, you’re gonna get caught For making deals with the devil in the dark You know you’re gonna, you know you’re gonna, you know you’re gonna You two-timing bastard Don’t you know Heaven ain’t gonna save you if hells got your soul Two-timing bastard Don’t you know Heaven ain’t gonna save you if hells, no hell, no hell You two-timing bastard Don’t you know Heaven ain’t gonna save you if hells got your soul Two-timing bastard Don’t you know Heaven ain’t gonna save you if hells got your soul

DAYS LIKE THESE Words and Music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel On days like these The funniest of thoughts race through my head The things you say in passing Now you claim you never meant My problem lies in they’re the thoughts I really wish to hear You make me sad you know Or just a fool I sometimes fear On days like these I often seem to fall On days like these I don’t seem to care at all So I can fly, I can wait But I don’t give a shit either way On days like these On days like these I find there’s nothing else to do But think of questions left unanswered I’m searching for in you Life’s mysteries lie in laughing In crying helplessly to prove I finally found my reasons For hanging out with you On days like these I often seem to fall On days like these I don’t seem to care at all So I can fly, I can wait You can go, you can stay I can fly, I can wait But I don’t give a shit either way On days like these I wonder why I leave my bed at all To engage in conversations With the shadows on these walls I stumble through my star sign Though it never reads of me Could someone get my future right Tell me who I’m meant to be On days like these I find I never get things right I’m crawling to the right ideas But they run away in fright I’m bored so I call all my friends They’ve better things to do Than talk to someone famous Who doesn’t want to see this through On days like these I often seem to fall On days like these I don’t seem to care at all So can fly, I can wait, But I don’t give a shit either way. On days like these

TUESDAY AFTERNOON Words and Music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel Tuesday Afternoon Draws the card and says that everything’s all right Steals the sleep right from your eyes ‘Cause karma lives within its own idea of time Good fortune’s how you live these lies Games like these are only played on Games like these are only played on Games like these are only played on Tuesday afternoon Tuesday afternoon Draws the card and says there’s trouble up ahead Things you didn’t do and all the things you did Little girls with little thoughts and little fingers running wild Inside you wet Sins like these are only made on Sins like these are only made on Sins like these are only made on Tuesday afternoon Tuesday afternoon Draws the card and says that luck is on your side Steals the breath right from your smile It’s inexplicable that they should know it all I draw the card to show your fall Fear like this is only made on Fear like this is only made on Fear like this is only made on Tuesday afternoon Tuesday afternoon Tuesday afternoon Tuesday afternoon

I’M TEMPTED TO STAY Words and Music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel Closed in the corner You’re drifting away Vicious are your reasons Blood as cold as ice runs through your veins I’m tempted to stay. So proud in your thoughts You know You’re not the only one who was a slave I’m tempted to stay. There goes the night slowly by You know it digs so deep, digs so deep, digs so deep, it digs so deep There goes the night slowly by You know it digs to deep, digs to deep, digs to deep, it digs, it digs it digs. So close in your touch Can’t you see No can’t you see I’ve had too much And heaven holds a place for those who love Sick to my stomach with your touch - away I’m tempted to stay. There goes the night slowly by You know it digs so deep, digs so deep, digs so deep, it digs so deep There goes the night slowly by You know it digs to deep, digs to deep, digs to deep, it digs, it digs it digs. So proud in your thoughts You know You’re not the only one who was a slave I’m tempted to stay. There goes the night slowly by You know it digs so deep, digs so deep, digs so deep, it digs so deep There goes the night slowly by The ruins within you Dig so deep, digs so deep, digs so deep, it digs so deep There goes the night slowly by You know it digs so deep, digs to deep, digs so deep, it digs so deep There goes the night slowly by You know it digs so deep, digs to deep, digs so deep, it digs, it digs, it digs So deep, digs so deep, digs so deep, it digs, it digs, it digs.

SECONDS COUNT Words and Music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel You are the first mistake Of many, I would like to make And hell, I’d do it all again for you. I’d count myself lucky For all the things you’ve done for me If love’s enough - I’m truly saved And I’d do it all Do it all Do it all again. My turn’s just up ahead I couldn’t leave it there Could you shout it out You could make You could make You could make the seconds count You could make You could make You could make the seconds count. I’m still the one you saved For all the world I wouldn’t change And hell I’d do it all again for you. Each word you say my way I keep safe for rainy days If love’s enough - I’m truly saved And I’d do it all Do it all Do it all again. My turn’s just up ahead I couldn’t leave it there Could you shout it out You could make You could make You could make the seconds count You could make You could make You could make the seconds count. Snapshots of smiles I’ve kept The first of kisses inside my head And hell I’d do it all again for you. I’d share you with the world But you’d be stolen that’s for sure If love’s enough - I’m truly saved And I’d do it all Do it all Do it all again. My turn’s just up ahead I couldn’t leave it there Could you shout it out You could make You could make You could make the seconds count You could make You could make You could make the seconds count.

ALL THE SAME (CRAZY) Words and Music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel Time sit by me Let’s discuss what you have done This place beside me Emptiness I hadn’t banked on All the same I think I might’ve gone too far Isn’t that the answer Isn’t that who you are Love come hold me Please put right what time has changed For all you taught me I did everything your way All the same I think I might’ve fallen in too deep Could you stop me drowning And put me back on my feet Quite uneasy Now that everything is gone If it doesn’t kill me It could only make me strong All the same I think I might’ve pushed too hard I forgot to mention I think I forgot it all. Duly noted I’m okay Crazy found me And stretched my gaze Duly noted I’m okay Crazy found me And stretched my gaze It’s all the same I find it All the same I find it All the same All the same I think I might’ve missed insane Isn’t that the saddest part I couldn’t get crazy to stay. Duly noted I’m okay Crazy found me And stretched my gaze Duly noted I’m okay Crazy found me And stretched my gaze All the same I find it All insane I like it All the same I find it All insane All the same It’s all insane Time sit by me Let’s discuss what you have done This place beside me Emptiness I hadn’t banked on All the same It’s all the same I couldn’t get crazy to stay.

PACHELBEL Words and Music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel We lie awake beneath the stars Talk of dreams, life’s ironies thus far And in your arms, we’re close enough to kiss It doesn’t happen no It never will, I guess But I can hope, I can think of you at times Thought it best to let you know You’ve crept into my mind It’s too late to say goodbye It’s too early yet to think you can’t be mine It’s too late to say goodbye It’s too early yet to think you can’t be mine So we’ll talk every now and then About our day today Never saying the things we’d both called to say I think I smile a little differently When you’re close by You make it hard for me to push All my fears aside It’s too late to say goodbye It’s too early yet to think you can’t be mine It’s too late to say goodbye It’s too early yet to think you can’t be mine So what’s love you ask? And I think it over And all my delusions collapse So you can stay, drive me crazy in vain There is pleasure to be found In this sort of pain It’s too late to say goodbye It’s too early yet to think you can’t be mine It’s too late. So what’s love you ask And I think it over And all my delusions collapse so you can stay, drive me crazy in vain There is pleasure to be found In this sort of pain.
