Suburban Hum 06:22
Suburban Hum Jennifer Ferguson Whats that high pitched humming on a Sunday afternoon While she's lying there waiting this feeling of doom there is Singing in the gardens, and singing in the leaves Hot. hot earth, too hot Impatient for the breeze   Theres a smell of rotting peaches hanging thick on the ground And the pink bodied children making shrieking sounds And she's lying on the leaves, waiting to be numbed By the smothering lull of suburbia hum   She'll keep her rocks in her pockets and mud in her eyes To stop her mind contracting in these terrible signs What a sentence to futility, what a terrible crime That thunders through her gardens and trembles to the sky   Oh, I still care about the future and I still worry about the past I'm still caught with this desire   And the little black girls playing in the street Bullet flies past falls over her feet Gathered by her brothers come get off the street For the times are still .hungry for the stench of meat   And the politicians new speak professional lies Dog eats dog, political trials While the world goes hungry, begs on its knees The tinkle of silver under jacaranda trees Purple blossoms fall around me Purple blossoms falling   And boetie's border of the mind is civil war county If he doesn't blow his head away he'll go hunting For the commies in the back yard in his wife's bed Stealing his car, selling sweets on Styrdom square Bang bang I still care about the future and I still worry about the past I'm still caught with this desire For a fine time   But sadness offers madness in the turning of the times And the scales of justice fall from the suffering of mankind We're caught in a web of bureaucracy, labyrinth of waste A thousand rattling in shopping trolleys Hey, Onward wounded soldiers marching from the wars The cross and the sickle and the hammer, going on before But we still making love, we still making war It's not for us to even try to choose anymore And I watch from a distance where I learn in the fields of children How to make, how to view   Some times I don't know just where to shake my hands White girl white, sunshine land All I know is where I dream to be back in my Ermelo childhood garden Sitting in my old oak tree When the world grew all around me When the world grew around me   I still care about the future and I still worry about the past I'm still caught with this desire for a fine time   I still care about the future and I still worry about the past I'm still caught with this desire For a fine time That is essentially Righteous and fine And born to last forever Forever
