Tumas (PNG 2006) “I don’t like your knees, I don’t like your toes, I don’t like the clothes you wear. I don’t like your shoes, I don’t like your views, and I don’t like that you don’t care. Image, my image, how do I look today. Image, my image, checking that it’s ok. I don’t like your politics, I don’t like your bike, don’t like your way of talking. And I can’t stand your plans, can’t stand your laugh, not even your way of walking.” “Now I like your knees, like your toes, like the clothes you wear. Like your shoes, share your views, so glad that you came here. Lost your politics, gave away your bike, keep right on talking. We’re using your plans, the work of our hands, you go right on talking. Cos yu tumas, (You’re too much) bel izzi izzi izzi bilong yu. (A settling peace dwells in you) Yu tumas, belizzi izzi izzi bilong yu.” Tumas (from CD PNG 2006)

Come home to yourself, me hoki tuturu mai Stop scrapping behind the bike sheds of time AAnd scraping your elbows as you do You think these clothes were meant to last (mum's words) When you know and cold Don't go there , don't you should, look back at the preacher attack Long yu ( it belongs to you so take ownership) Kia ngawari tonu ( go easy though) Long yu...long yu Get a grip on yourself , don't go closing your eyes The feel of the sun , the god in surprise Is working his garden, from outside Another weed runs for its strife But it's still dark inside (I was grieving at the firing) Kei waho my pride Much much more, the preacher's not black Chorus Fans overhead, chopping my thoughts Noschool walls, just caged supports and drifting,,,drifting smoke Uplifting prayer ascends itself. And you know tasol, yu go pas Literacy bois you were my class So close to shore, preaching the lack. Chorus
