lyrics

Circle Song

It’s a long way to heaven and a short road to hell
I have to walk this road my own damn self
Cats are screeching and the dogs they yelp
And everybody’s asking for a little help
I’ve got a rusty old compass and my eye on the clock
The circle always comes back to that self-same spot

It’s a lifetime for heaven and just a second for flames
Some people born with wings others born with rusty chains
Draw a line back from Llandwe right back to Triomf
You’ve got to go through District Six, you go through Blikkiesdorp
The days go by, the struggle’s just the same
The same tattoo beating in my brain
The sun goes round, some day it’s going to stop
Till then the circle always goes around the self-same spot

He was a kid in the 50s when the parties were banned
He was there in ’94 with his book in his hand
He cried ‘bout Marikana when he heard the news
It’s a brand-new day with the same old blues
If you follow the money, it goes to the top
The circle always comes back to that self-same spot
