"Speel-speel" deur James Rothman

James Rothmann 2012-11-09 Die spel van lewe is soos skaak
mens gaan altyd 'n skuif moet maak
Al kan jy nie, al sukkel jy
Jy sal altyd ? plek in die son kry

"The Face" by Laura Kate Meads

Laura Kate Meads 2012-11-09 Where is the face that I had loved?
Frozen in time for a split-second
Where is the face that I had loved?
I’ll think of you for just a minute

"Unchanged Love" by Petri van der Walt

Petri van der Walt 2012-11-09 If life was a playlist
I’d repeat that moment forever
The first time I saw you
I knew that love would last forever

"Untied and United" by Wouter Pienaar

Wouter Pienaar 2012-11-09 Her sorrow has darkened the night
“Help me!” is all that she cries
Ignorance fooled you to believe the lie
She’s drowning in spite

"Upside the Head" by Josh Prinsloo

Josh Prinsloo 2012-11-09 How you manage to make it out alive
reminds me of the time when I derived
so much meaning from the words you said
It always beats me upside the head
Upside the head

"Black and White" by Martin Ferreira

Martin Ferreira 2012-11-09 Your empty threats are all but verbal
Disgusting all that’s liberal
Too many observers have been caught in the crossfire
Your guns are no longer for hire

"Dirt" by Martin Ferreira

Martin Ferreira 2012-11-09 You’re so amazing, but I don't know where you’ve been
Have no clue what’s crawling under your skin
From the outside you look squeaky clean
But there's things that just don't want to be seen

"Eyes of the Predator" by Martin Ferreira

Martin Ferreira 2012-11-09 The hunters are on the prowl
while we want to peacefully exist
And the games they play are foul
Their tricks are hard to resist

"Fast Asleep" by Martin Ferreira

Martin Ferreira 2012-11-09 Waiting all night for a connection
but it has come to mind beyond perception
Perhaps it’s time to stop living this dream

"Good at breaking hearts" by Alex Simanga

Alex Simanga 2012-11-09 The feelings I’m having for you, I can't control
I love you so much, I will die for you
But all the time, you aren't always with me
Please tell me why ‘cause, I 'm hurting deeply

"Good times, Bad times" by Ian Marais

Ian Marais 2012-11-09 Where do all the good folks hide?
Is there still a sense of pride?
If we care about the poor
it makes it easy, that’s for sure

"Here's My Love" by Wesley Conradie

Wesley Conradie 2012-11-09 Your eyes, when they look in mine
I can't help but hide and feel a little shy
It's like you can see straight through me
and everywhere my heart has been
You left me defenseless and caught me off guard
You're so relentless and you're coming for my heart

"Life's situation" by Andrea Coetzee

ACAbreu 2012-11-09 I fell in love with you
right from the start
I knew there would come a time
that you would break my heart

"Love Undefined" by Angelique Hattingh

Angelique Hattingh 2012-11-09 I remember the day we met as if it were yesterday
You made me feel comfortable right from the start
As time passed I began to trust you more
letting you into my heart knowing
I could be myself completely
and that you would never hurt me

"New Years Resolution" by Martin Ferreira

Martin Ferreira 2012-11-09 Another year gone by
in a blink of an eye
It’s time to jot down
some of my famous lies

"Nightingales" by Martin Ferreira

Martin Ferreira 2012-11-09 I hear a perfect melody
that delights my energy
And when memory comes to me
it’s taken the best of me

"Red Light" by Archie Smith

Archie Smith 2012-11-09 There was a red light
on the corner of the street
Made me turn in another direction
She was standing, in the doorway
red lips and legs up to heaven
And I thought, for a while
That smile was mine

"Spinning" by Adam Jerrett

Adam Jerrett 2012-11-09 Oh, I know we're not sure what we know
Oh, I know the world's still spinning though

"Waging War" by Wesley Conradie

Wesley Conradie 2012-11-09 We're fighting for our lives under mushroom clouds
Time to muster up the soldiers inside and stand our ground
We're fighting to survive, not with guns or knives
but the hope we have left inside

"Waiting for Gabriel" by Anglique Hattingh

Angelique Hattingh 2012-11-09 The day outside in the real world is sunny, warm and cheerful
People are going about their daily business
seemingly content with their lot
