(One, two, three) Why are you hangin' on! So tight
To the rope that I'm hangin' from. Off this island?
This was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
Carefully timed it. So let me go! And dive into the waves below

(One, two, three) Why are you hangin' on! So tight
To the rope that I'm hangin' from. Off this island?
This was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
Carefully timed it. So let me go! And dive into the waves below
[Pre-Chorus]
Who tends the orchards?
Who fixes up the gables?
Emotional torture
From the head of your high table
Who fetches the water
From the rocky mountain spring?
And walk back down again
To feel your words and their sharp sting?
And I'm gettin' fuckin' tired
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour
[Post-Chorus]
(You make me do too much labour)
[Verse 2]
Apologies from my tongue
Never yours
Busy lapping from a flowing cup
And stabbing with your fork
I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man)
And weaponise
The false incompetence
It's dominance under guise
[Pre-Chorus]
If we had a daughter
I'd watch and could not save her
The emotional torture
From the head of your high table
She'd do what you taught her
She'd meet the same cruel fate
So now I've gotta run
So I can undo this mistake
At least I've gotta try
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour
[Bridge]
All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin nurse, and a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
It's not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour
All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, and a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
It's not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting (All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid)
If our love died, would that be the worst thing? (Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, and a servant)
For somebody I thought was my saviour (Just an appendage, live to attend him)
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour (So that he never lifts a finger)
The callous skin on my hands is crackin' (Twenty-four-seven baby machine)
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? (So he can live out his picket fence dreams)
And the silence haunts our bed chamber (It's not an act of love if you make her)
You make me do too much labour
(Inye, zimbini, zithathu) kutheni ungubani ungubani! Qinile
Kwintambo endiyinxibileyo 'ivela. Ngaphandle kwesi siqithi?
Esi yayisisicwangciso sokubaleka (esi yayisisicwangciso sokupheka)
Imbi ngengcembe. Ke ndiyeke! Kwaye ungene emazalweni apha ngezantsi
[I-pre-chorus]
Ngubani otyhalela iigadi?
Ngubani olungisa iiglasi?
Ukuhlukunyezwa kweemvakalelo
Ukusuka kwintloko yetafile yakho ephezulu
Othabatha amanzi
Kwi-rocky ntanto intaba?
Kwaye uhambe kwakhona
Ukuva amazwi akho kunye nokubetha kwabo?
Kwaye ndingqengqeleka 'i-fuckin' idiniwe
[Chorus]
I-capillaillees emehlweni am iyavutha
Ukuba uthando lwethu lwafe, ngaba leyo yeyona nto imbi kakhulu?
Umntu endicinga ukuba nguMsindisi wam
Uqinisekile ukuba ndenze umsebenzi oninzi
Ulusu olunethi
Ukuba uthando lwethu luphela, ngaba oko kuya kuba yinto embi?
Kwaye ukuthula kuyayikhathaza igumbi lethu lokulala
Undenza ndisebenze kakhulu
[I-chorus]]
(Undenza ndisebenze kakhulu)
[Indinyana 2]
Ndicela uxolo kulwimi lwam
Soze yakho
I-hleyela ivela kwikomityi yokuhamba
Kwaye ihlwili nge-fork yakho
Ndiyazi ukuba uyindoda elumkileyo (ndiyazi ukuba uyindoda elumkileyo)
Kunye nesixhobo
Ukungakwazi Ubuxoki
I-DOPERODS iphantsi kwezogonyo
[I-pre-chorus]
Ukuba besinentombi
Ndingabukela kwaye andinakuyigcina
Ukuhlukunyezwa kweemvakalelo
Ukusuka kwintloko yetafile yakho ephezulu
Uyakwenza oko umfundileyo
Uhlangabezana nelixa elizayo
Ke ngoku kufuneka ndibaleke
Ke ndingakwazi ukulungisa le mpazamo
Ubuncinci kufuneka uzame
[Chorus]
I-capillaillees emehlweni am iyavutha
Ukuba uthando lwethu lwafe, ngaba leyo yeyona nto imbi kakhulu?
Umntu endicinga ukuba nguMsindisi wam
Uqinisekile ukuba ndenze umsebenzi oninzi
Ulusu olunethi
Ukuba uthando lwethu luphela, ngaba oko kuya kuba yinto embi?
Kwaye ukuthula kuyayikhathaza igumbi lethu lokulala
Undenza ndisebenze kakhulu
[Ibhulorho]
Yonke imihla, yonke imihla: Unyango, umama, intombazana
I-nymph, emva koko intombi enyulu, kunye nesicaka
Isibongozo nje, hlala ukuze ubekho naye
Ukuze angaze aphakamise umnwe
Umatshini wamashumi amabini anesine onesixhenxe
Ke unokuphila ngaphandle kocingo locingo
Asiyonto yothando ukuba uyamenza
Undenza ndisebenze kakhulu
Yonke imihla, yonke imihla: Unyango, umama, intombazana
I-nymph, emva koko intombi, umongikazi, kunye nesicaka
Isibongozo nje, hlala ukuze ubekho naye
Ukuze angaze aphakamise umnwe
Umatshini wamashumi amabini anesine onesixhenxe
Ke unokuphila ngaphandle kocingo locingo
Asiyonto yothando ukuba uyamenza
Undenza ndisebenze kakhulu
[Chorus]
I-capillaillees emehlweni am iyavutheka (imini yonke, yonke imihla: Unyango, umama, intombazana)
Ukuba uthando lwethu lwafe, ngaba leyo yeyona nto imbi kakhulu? (Nymph, emva koko intombi, umongikazi, kunye nesicaka)
Umntu endicinga ukuba nguMsindisi wam (nje i-ansoger, phila ukubakho kuye)
Uqinisekile ukuba ndenze ukuba ndenze umsebenzi oninzi (ukuze angaze aphakamise umnwe)
Ulusu olunomsindo kwizandla zam luyi-crackin '(amashumi amabini anesine abantwana)
Ukuba uthando lwethu luphela, ngaba oko kuya kuba yinto embi? (Ke unokuphila ngaphandle kocingo locingo lwayo)
Kwaye ukuthula kuyayihlutha igumbi lethu lokulala (ayisiyo isenzo sothando ukuba uyamenza)
Undenza ndisebenze kakhulu
