Kersie in die Windjie- Toegewy aan Winnie (matches) Mandela
Goodbye gravy train
Wish I+d never known you at all
Nelson+s keeping it quiet
But I+ve lost my benz and all.
Maybe I was greedy
But I thought I couldn+t lose
It all seemed so easy
Thought it cleary was a race.
And it seems to me I must live my life growing mealies like before
No more big expensive dinners, back to squatting on the floor
And if only I+d got out or quit while I was miles ahead
I+d still be eating caviar, instead of wishing I was dead.
I really loved my car
My house, 100 bodygaurds
The mobile telephone
Cape wines beneath the stars
but now it has all gone
And life is such a drag
Derek and Ruda have forgotten me
And no pic in Sunday mag.
And it seems to me I must live my life in the bundoo op die plaas
Dreaming of Sandton mansions and feeling like an arse
If only I+d got out or quit when I was miles ahead
The banks would not be calling to say I+m in the red.
Goodbye gravy train
Hauw, I+m in pain
My heel shoes were not made
For chasing combies in the rain
Voetsak gravy train
Wish I+d never palyed the game
But now I pay the bitter price
For finding nobody else to blame.
And it seems to me I must live my life eating phuttu like before
No more chauffeur driven limo, no more knocking off at four
If only I+d got out or quit when I was miles ahead
I still might have a candle to light my way to bed
I still might have a candle to light my way to bed
My legend burnt out long before
I even found a candle.
