I Would Have Had a Good Time 

 

I've learned to chew very well
Every minute of my time
The face you see is my diary
Years in every line
No matter what you know
You got a long way to grow
Before you catch me

My legs are getting slower
And my hands are growing weak
And some days I must think awhile
Before I speak
But don't pity me
I'm not what you think you see
Your eyes are green

I can see much better now
I can see so clearly now
If only I knew them as much as I do now
I would have had a good time
Would have had a good time

I've known wise men and I've danced with fools
I was both in my life
Life's been hard, so have I
Had my share of strife
It's not the things you do
It's what you never get round to
That makes you sad
I can see much better now
I can see so clearly now
If only I knew them as much as I do now
I would have had a good time
Would have had a good time

I've known wise men and I've danced with fools
I've been both in my time
Time is going faster nowadays
And days too soon are night
It's not the things you do
It's what you never get round to
That makes you sad

Music & Lyrics by John Kongos



Tomorrow I'll Go

We began with hands and eyes
And our lips were careless and free
And you'd never think before a kiss
And I'd never fear childish laughter
And we'd never think about thereafter
And I said "yes, tomorrow I'll go"
And we agreed

Then we talked of life and love
And reasons and destinies
And we asked each other always why
And like children, we puzzled the answers
And as children, we were always sure
And I said "yes, but tomorrow I'll go"
And we agreed

We talked of truth and the past
I believed every word
And you made me eat onions and prawns
And soon your thoughts were like mine
And my thoughts were just like yours
And still I said "yes, tomorrow I'll go
I'll go"

And we bought an old sheep dog
And it seemed like we lived around him
And he wasn't yours and he wasn't mine
So he must have been ours
You said, "how can you ever leave?"
And still I said "yes, tomorrow I'll go
I'll go"
And one day you said, "how about a baby?"
And I said, "okay
But I may want to go tomorrow"
You said, "of course" and then I knew
You said, "of course" and then I knew
That I would never go tomorrow
I'd never go, never leave
Today or tomorrow, I'd never leave
Never go, never go

Tokoloshe Man

Make your bed up high
Pray into the sky
Close the window, close the door
Make no difference if you're rich or poor

Get on your knees, scream, please
That man just love to tease
Try to run, get a gun
He just laugh, it makes it more fun

And it makes no difference if you're yellow or you're red
When that bad man say tonight is the night you are dead
And it makes no difference if you're black or you're white
When Tokoloshe say tonight is the night, it's tonight

Hard like rock, ain't got no soul
He can make the sun feel cold
Put an eclipse on the moon
Make a little cloud forty day monsoon

Don't recognize no hawk
Don't recognize no dove
Bad Tokoloshe man
He don't even recognize love

And it makes no difference if you're yellow or you're red
When that bad man say tonight is the night you are dead
And it makes no difference if you're black or you're white
When Tokoloshe say tonight is the night, it's tonight
Only thing I can say to you
You gotta be good, you gotta be true
Think about Jesus Christ
Think about Jesus Christ

And it makes no difference if you're yellow or you're red
When that bad man say tonight is the night you are dead
And it makes no difference if you're black or you're white
When Tokoloshe say tonight is the night, it's tonight

Tonight is the night, it's tonight
Tonight is the night, it's tonight
Tonight is the night, it's tonight
Tonight is the night, it's tonight

It's tonight
It's tonight
