The City Lyrics

The City lyrics

Joseph tends the garden Malan's houseOn friday evening, Mr. Malan smokes his
pipe and hands Joseph his pay packet.They discuss the roses.Mrs.Malan has a
parcel of nearly new clothes for him and his family.The Malan's children play
around the pool.Joseph's wife and child are five hundred miles in
Kwazulu.Joseph makes a cup of tea in the kitchen.He takes it out to his
concrete shed at the back of the house.He seets on his steel bed.It is the
weekend.Tonight he will get drunk in a shebeen.It will be many months until he
sees his family.It has been many months.
