Juluka - Gunship Ghetto lyrics

Feather Pillow Dream

Crazy boym your sister's crying

Tell me where the hell you been

Border Order Prison Warder

Mortar Bomb Daughter Scream

Gunship Ghetto -- steeleye stiletto

I'm going to where history won't reach me

To find where time stands still

I need to find some peace of mind

And if you let me in I probably will

Chorus:

Speak to the sky, there's no reply

Just the endless empty blue

While deep in the night, there is a fight

Hamba madoda! Aya hamba madoda

[March away men, the men are marching away]

Sodibana pambliyo sodibana phambili yo!

[We will meet up ahead]

Paper holder holds a soldier

Not yet born to be

But six months older, he'll be much bolder

See things he's never seen

I need freedom, just like the next one

But sometimes it doesn't do

'Cause I need you to be there

When I'm troubled

I need to see this thing through with you

Behind the barrel of a gun

Love and friendship can become

Just another point of view

The battle is won but my heart overcome

'Cause what is lost of part of you

Chorus

Hamba madoda! Aya hamba madoda

I'm just marching away -- just marching away

What do you say -- I'm just marching away

Sebehambile hambile [They have all gone, all gone]

Sebehambile hambile

Umhlaba unzima sodibana phambile yo!

[The world is a difficult place -- we shall meet up ahead]

Umhlaba unzima sodibana phambile yo
