lyrics

And you breathe it in
Then you breathe it out
You're in the big smoke
You can taste it in the air you choke
Can you feel it running through your veins
Constricting flows
While your body is taking all the strain

And feel so weatry
Coz theres something about this town
So weary
And I dont know why
Everyday I feel so good
Why everyday I feel so ill
Why everyday I feel so good
Everyday I feel

Everyday I feel so good
Why everyday I feel so ill
Why everyday I feel so good
Everyday I feel

SO you wake up early with the bell
Devils at your front door
And you've only got your soul to sell
And you work so hard to get your pay
Its the same old thing in the city
Dont you know there's no escape

And I feel so weary
coz theres something about this town
Open my front door and look around
The schitzophrenic bi-polar bear are I
And I realy dont know why

Everyday I feel so ill
Why everyday I feel so good
Why everyday I feel so ill
Everyday I feel

Everyday I feel so ill
Why everyday I feel so good
Why everyday I feel so ill
Everyday I feel

about

Skabengas Johannesburg, South Africa

A stomping groovy mishmash of gypsy jazz, African and roots music. Melodic, infectious and just plain strange tinged with hell-bent manic energy. Hot on the heels, steamy swing and swagger!
