lyrics

not tonight, josephine
i’m tired from the battles in my head, josephine
can’t we just go quitely to bed, josephine
joesphine, josephine, josephine

i’ve had enough, josephine,
of tryin’ to be the man you want from me, josephine
frightened of what i‘d truly be, josephine,
josephine, josephine, josephine

let me just go elsewhere
close my eyes and disappear tonight
waiting ‘till a voice says “it’s alright”
but for tonight; just for one night,
not your voice, sweet josephine

i’m on your side, josephine
there’s no-one’s side on which i’d rather be, josephine
just understand this, and bear with me, josephine,
josephine, josephine, josephine

you’re on my mind, josephine
but the head doesn’t understand the heart, josephine
tryin’ to explain, but where to even start, josephine
josephine, josephine, josephine

let me just go elsewhere
close my eyes and disappear tonight
waiting ‘till a voice says “it’s alright”
but for tonight; just for one night,
not your voice, sweet josephine

not tonight, josephine
i trust your promises way too much, josephine
your soothing words and your tender touch
is just too much, josephine, josephine, josephine

Kabaal klankbaan Pretoria, South Africa

Kabaal klankbaan is Gauteng-based musician Floris Groenewald’s folk-rock music project. “It’s not a stage name,” says Floris, “but a band, of which I’m the only permanent member.” They play acoustic, alternative folk-rock, which varies from indie-pop songs, folky dystopian love songs, bluesy rock & roll, to songs about robots and video games. ... more
