JESUS MADE ME
(Henry Ate - Slap in the Face 1996)
Words and music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel (1995/6) Ate Publishing
Sit down place your head upon my leg
The world looks different, doesn't it?
Relax, no ones going to come in here
Since the governing body chose to disappear
So come in mind the mess, It's just my head
Haven't had time to get the cleaners in
I'm still somewhere in 94
Took bad acid, spent my evening, staring at the floor
I'm not your typical holiday romance
I'm not your average slap in the face
I'm just your ordinary, everyday
That's ordinary, everyday, never changing, just the same
Kid to blame, kid to blame
So pick up your dreams smash them against the wall
Flush 'em, f*** 'em, who gives a dam anymore
We're all heading for certain doom or say they say
Jobless occupation sure to help you find your way
I'm not your typical holiday romance
I'm not your average slap in the face
I'm just your ordinary everyday
That's ordinary everyday, never changing, just the same
Kid to blame, kid to blame.
Put down the phone don't you know that talking sucks
Its not in the saying its in the doing that things get done
Come along and play with me and reminisce about the way things used to be
Cause I'm not your typical
I'm not your average
I'm not your typical
I'm not your typical holiday romance
I'm not your average slap in the face
I'm nothing like this cause Jesus made me and I'm just a kid

(Henry Ate - Slap in the Face 1996)
Words and music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel (1995) Ate Publishing
Henry sits in the corner on bad days till quite late
So anything you can't find you left there ask henry what he ate today
Never before have I seen a smile upon a face like henry's
Such a special boy you can fall in love but he'll walk away
Back to the place he hides
Up in the big blue
Up in the big blue sky
Henry Ate his way to the moon didn't stop there
Henry he ate right through
Henry Ate his way to the moon
Come back soon
Henry I'm missing you
Henry spends most Sundays conversing with our walls
He says their views are stable never question his so his empire can never fall
Suddenly he's up on the table dancing around yelling out his philosophy
The view of the sun from the moon can't be beaten
He's off to the place he hides
Up in the big blue
Up in the big blue sky
Henry Ate his way to the moon didn't stop there
Henry he ate right through
Henry Ate his way to the moon
Come back soon
Henry I'm missing
The view of the sun from the moon can't be beaten x 4
He's off to the place he hides
Up in the big blue
Up in the big blue sky
Henry Ate his way to the moon didn't stop there
Henry he ate right through
Henry Ate his way to the moon
Come back soon
Henry I'm missing you

Lately I've been thinking what if I was wrong
And the world never meant you and I to belong
We'd have wasted so much time building castles in the sky
Only to watch them all fall down
Would it be all of our dreams so well suited to you and I
Could only be half acquired would it be worthwhile?
If I could just understand this
I might then try forgiveness
Know that I will, each time I feel
You'll be by, you'll be by, you'll be by my side
In the end, we'll still be friends
Ain't it shocking how your sympathetic world amends
And in time, you'll realise
I'm not what I seem inside
I go wild, I go wild, I go wild
For lately I've been thinking what if you were wrong
And all the things you've taken were never meant to be gone
You'd have given a gift from above so freely having given no thoughts to love
And would it be all of your dreams so better suited to someone like me
I would watch you achieve wouldn't that make me so d*** unhappy
On the level thinking back - I.
No if I could just understand this
I might then try forgiveness
Know that I will, each time I feel
You'll be by, you'll be by, you'll be by my side
In the end, we'll still be friends
Ain't it shocking how your sympathetic world amends
And in time, you'll realise

HEY MISTER
(Henry Ate - Slap in the Face 1996)
Words and music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel (1995) Ate Publishing
Hey mister in that skirt could you be giving me directions
I'm trying to find a place where I would be guaranteed to lose my mind
By the looks of you, you've been there a few times
And in the morning we will exchange clothes
Pretend that we're married, experience each others roles
Take what we can lie back relax, watch the sky evaporate
If I hallucinate we will call it escaping
For I think it's 'bout time I blew my mind
No I, think it's 'bout time I blew my mind
Hey
Hey mister don't you know you have got quite nice legs
Try wearing something a little more suited to your s**
Maybe a suit something with less lace
And later we will go on to my place
Cause I've been driving so d*** long
And God only knows where I thought I was going
Or coming from
Mister I'm on the run pass the gun
For I think it's 'bout time I blew my mind
No I, think it's 'bout time I blew my mind
Hey
No I
Hey mister in that skirt could you be giving me directions
I'm trying to find a place where I would be guaranteed to lose my mind
By the looks of you
Cause I've been driving so d*** long
And God only knows where I thought I was going or coming from
Mister I'm on the run
Pass the gun, pass the gun, pass the gun, pass the gun
For I think it's 'bout time I blew my mind
No I, think it's 'bout time I blew my mind

Do you think of me on sunny days
Or just when things get gloomy
And the twisted little voice inside your head says you should?
Is it better now to wake up with,
This extra s***e around you
And no one to ask you what it is you plan to do all day?
Could someone come and save me from
The things that I've been wishing for
'Cause I don't want to be in love or think about you anymore.
Do you think of me when you're doing fine
Or just when you're so wasted that,
Someone's required to tuck you into bed late at night?
Is it better in your ideal world
With no one keeping watch on you
And commenting on all the things you keep locked inside?
Could someone come and save me from
The things that I've been wishing for
'Cause I don't want to be in love or think about you anymore.
Could someone come and save me from
The things that I've been wishing for
'Cause I don't want to be in love or think about you anymore.
Do you think of me when you're not alone
So safe in someone else's arms
Pretend for just a second you were lying here with me?
Is it better being free
To realize your own reality
And play the games you wanted to not thinking of the lives you ruin?
Could someone come and save me from
The things that I've been wishing for
'Cause I don't want to be in love or think about you anymore.
Could someone come and save me from
The things that I've been wishing for
'Cause I don't want to be in love or think about you anymore.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON

Tuesday Afternoon
Draws the card and says that everything's all right
Steals the sleep right from your eyes
'Cause karma lives within it's own idea of time
Good fortune's how you live these lies
Games like these are only played on
Games like these are only played on
Games like these are only played on
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon
Draws the card and says there's trouble up ahead
Things you didn't do and all the things you did
Little girls with little thoughts and little fingers running wild
Inside you wet
Sins like these are only made on
Sins like these are only made on
Sins like these are only made on
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon
Draws the card and says that luck is on you side
Steals the breath right from your smile
It's inexplicable that they should know it all
I draw the card to show your fall
Fear like this is only made on
Fear like this is only made on
Fear like this is only made on

(Karma - One day Soon 1998)
Words and Music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel (1997/8) Ate Publishing
One day soon
You're gonna find out who you've been talking to
Your prayers for sins
Line up you can be forgiven
One day soon
I'm gonna write it all down, mail it collect to you
Walk on water
I'm not the type to jump right in.
I fall down
Quicker than I can get up again
So g-d I hope you win
One day soon
You're gonna think this life right through
Step on glass
Could you tape it so that moment lasts
One day soon
You're gonna get what's due to you
I'll make it sting
You'll find out it amounts to nothing
I fall down
Quicker than I can get up again
So g-d I hope you win
Go G-d I really hope you win
Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win (x3)
For your love, your beliefs, all of my sins
Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win
For your love, your beliefs, all of my sins
Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win
One day soon
They're gonna box you in throw dust at you
It's hard to breath
Especially when you're six feet deep
One day soon
You're gonna find out whose faith was true
Either way get ready for your judgement day
I fall down
Quicker than I can get up again
So god I hope you win
Go G-d I really hope you win
Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win (x3)
For your love, your beliefs, all of my sins
Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win
For your love, your beliefs, all of my sins
Go g-d oh g-d I really hope you win
I really hope you win, you win
Really hope you win
I really hope you win you win
I fall down
Quicker than I can get up again
I fall down
Quicker than I can get up again
I fall down
Quicker than I can get up again
So g-d I hope you win
