Johnny Is Nie Dood Nie (feat. Koos Kombuis)

Onderkant die wind, by die spoor, by die spoor
Hang jou reuk in die lug wat na trane ruik
Onderkant die wind, by die spoor, by die spoor
Onder hierdie maan lê my fietse lyf ...
Met 'n storie op die voorblad, met 'n kietie van 'n kat, met 'n byline
Maar by nommer 22 is dit stil
By nommer 22 was die laaste pil, in die pipeline
In die pipeline
Yo, Johnny was 'n cowboy, Johnny was 'n rush-kop
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny maak 'n groot geraas
Johnny was 'n genius, Johnny was 'n fokop
Johnny, Johnny stadig nou
Johnny, Johnny klap dit flou
Johnny is nie dood nie
Johnny is nie dood nie
Johnny is nie dood nie, hy's net uit gepass
En onthou jy nog daai aande, daar in Bird straat, Bird straat
Onthou jy nog die maande, van fokol doen en kak praat
Onthou jy (), met sy vuil blou jeans
Tussen asbakkies en bottels, sal hy weird, weird sien
Weet jy tog die rede, hoekom is dit alles oor
Weet jy dalk die rede, hoekom ons jou moes verloor
Is daar hoop vir ons wat oorbly
Is daar troos vir al die tjankies
Kan ons doen wat ons wil
Is daar lig daarvoor, of is die party oor
Is daar ooit iets in die hemel
Johnny was 'n cowboy, Johnny was 'n rush-kop
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny maak 'n groot geraas
Johnny was 'n genius, Johnny was 'n fokop
Johnny, Johnny stadig nou
Johnny, Johnny klap dit flou
Johnny is nie dood nie
Johnny is nie dood nie
Johnny is nie dood nie, hy's net uit gepass
Desperaat in Dorpstraat, roekeloos in Rocky straat
Lippe op die klippe, met 'n sukkellende clutch plaat
Die bakkie het gehou, maar ons gô was uit
Toe breek ons maar 'n venster, in vermaaklikheid
Toebies op die dashboard, klippe in die pad
Bouwie op die boendoe, sit hom rat
Watter kant is Woester, en waar is die pad
Piele op die wiele al vir 16 jaar
Piele op die wiele al vir 16 jaar
Piele op die wiele al vir 16 jaar
Johnny is nie dood nie
Johnny is nie dood nie
Johnny is nie dood nie, hy's net uit gepass
Johnny is nie dood nie
Johnny is nie dood nie
Johnny is nie dood nie, hy's net uit gepass
En jare later,
Het Alex vir my jou kar se stuurwiel gebring, Johnny, dis was gebuig
Ek het die stuurwiel teen my muur
Opgehang, en al die mure rooi geverf, Johnny
Onthou jy Johnny, toe Kurt Cobain net famous geword het
Jy was die eerste dude wat my sy Nirvana cd kom bring het
Ons het dit dag en nag gejol, Johnny
Dis al wat ons aan die fokken lewe gehou het, Johnny
Dit was nie goeie tye nie, Johnny
Ek weet dit was die beste tye wat ons ooit gehad het
Dit was beter as die army, dit was beter as sondagskool, Johnny
Ons was nie rerig vry nie, Johnny
Maar ons het fokken baie geraas gemaak, en jy meer as almal, Johnny
Maar ek rus my daarin, jy's nie regtig dood nie, Johnny
Jy is hemel toe, saam met Kurt Cobain
Ons check jou almal, een van die dae, Johnny
Hou vir ons 'n bietjie wyn

Johnny Isn't Dead (feat. Koos Kombuis)

Underneath the wind, by the tracks, by the tracks
Your scent hangs in the air that smells of tears
Underneath the wind, by the tracks, by the tracks
Under this moon lies my broken body ...
With a story on the cover, with a kitten of a cat, with a byline
But at number 22 it's silent
At number 22 was the last pill, in the pipeline
In the pipeline
Yo, Johnny was a cowboy, Johnny was a rush-head
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny makes a big noise
Johnny was a genius, Johnny was a fuck-up
Johnny, Johnny slow down now
Johnny, Johnny slap it faint
Johnny isn't dead
Johnny isn't dead
Johnny isn't dead, he's just passed out
And do you still remember those nights, there in Bird street, Bird street
Do you still remember the months, of doing nothing and talking shit
Do you remember (), with his dirty blue jeans
Between ashtrays and bottles, he'll see weird, weird
Do you know the reason, why is it all over
Do you maybe know the reason, why we had to lose you
Is there hope for those of us who remain
Is there comfort for all the crybabies
Can we do what we want
Is there light ahead, or is the party over
Is there ever anything in heaven
Johnny was a cowboy, Johnny was a rush-head
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny makes a big noise
Johnny was a genius, Johnny was a fuck-up
Johnny, Johnny slow down now
Johnny, Johnny slap it faint
Johnny isn't dead
Johnny isn't dead
Johnny isn't dead, he's just passed out
Desperate in Dorp Street, reckless in Rocky Street
Lips on the rocks, with a struggling clutch plate
The bakkie held up, but our go was out
So we just broke a window, in entertainment
Toebies on the dashboard, stones in the road
Bouwie on the boendoe, put it in gear
Which way is Woester, and where is the road
Pissing on the wheels for 16 years
Pissing on the wheels for 16 years
Pissing on the wheels for 16 years
Johnny isn't dead
Johnny isn't dead
Johnny isn't dead, he's just passed out
Johnny isn't dead
Johnny isn't dead
Johnny isn't dead, he's just passed out
And years later,
Alex brought me your car's steering wheel, Johnny, it was bent
I have the steering wheel against my wall
Hung up, and painted all the walls red, Johnny
Remember Johnny, when Kurt Cobain just got famous
You were the first dude who brought me his Nirvana CD
We played it day and night, Johnny
That's all that kept us alive, Johnny
It wasn't good times, Johnny
I know it was the best times we ever had
It was better than the army, it was better than Sunday school, Johnny
We weren't really free, Johnny
But we made a fucking lot of noise, and you more than anyone, Johnny
But I rest in it, you're not really dead, Johnny
You went to heaven, with Kurt Cobain
We'll all check on you, one of these days, Johnny
Save us some wine
