Joey don't do it


She rises for work early each day
Shes tough and shes straight and her words never ricochet
The wounds that you gave her she wears like a bouquet
Its crazy, joey, how she loves you come what may
And though you have gone she defends you like a lion
She says youre just going through some kind of phase
Strange talk of deserts, hong kong and red wine
Of kissing the moon in some beat up old plane

Chorus
Joe-joe-joey dont do it
Dont walk out into the night
Mus ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
(dont fly off the handle, take it easy)
Joe-joe-joey dont do it
Love can give you wings to fly
Mus ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
(dont fly off the handle, take it easy)
Joe-joe-joey dont do it
Awuthulanje

She loves the dreamers, but not the schemers
She loves the contradictions, but not the lies
She says every home ever built was built on tears
And shes not scared of crying but she is of wasted years
So shell wait like a ship anchored beyond the harbour
And if there is no place to dock shell head for the sea
And I dont know if you know but theres nothing much harder
Than facing a part of yourself which you know might have been

Chorus
Joe-joe-joey dont do it
Dont walk out into the night
Mus ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
(dont fly off the handle, take it easy)
Joe-joe-joey dont do it
Itll be different in the morning light
Mus ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
(dont fly off the handle, take it easy)
Joe-joe-joey dont do it
Awuthulanje

Just look around
Do you know where youre going
Such a sad seed I see you sowing
There is nothing to be found in the wind thats blowing
Just an empty sound, joey dont do it

Chorus
Joe-joe-joey dont do it
Dont walk out into the night
Mus ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
(dont fly off the handle, take it easy)
Joe-joe-joey dont do it
Love can give you wings to fly
Mus ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
(dont fly off the handle, take it easy)
Joe-joe-joey dont do it
Awuthula-nje

Biografia

Savuka, occasionally referred to as Johnny Clegg and Savuka, was a multi-racial South African band formed in 1986 by Johnny Clegg after the disbanding of Juluka. Savuka's music blended traditional Zulu musical influences with Celtic music and rock music that had a cross-racial appeal in South Africa. Their lyrics were often bilingual in English and Zulu and they wrote several politically charged songs, particularly related to apartheid. Some better-known Savuka songs include "Asimbonanga", and "Third World Child", from their 1987 album Third World Child. Band percussionist Dudu Zulu was killed in 1992; their song "The Crossing" was a tribute to him.
