Bushbabies and Bananas

© 2025 I was driving back from a sad trip to the airport. It was pouring down with icy rain and I felt as if the wind would pull my car right off the freeway. I was thinking about how good friends, such as my friend Lee, are simply irreplaceable, and make the journey on this crazy planet lighter. Link to lyrics in my profile. When it feels like I am drowning and the world is crushing down when it’s cold and dark and storming out here in tinsel town even the wind is weary and stars no longer shine down I fear I am slowly losing my mind every action each choice just feels so wrong the road stretches ahead ever cold and too long the lights they sold us flicker and die my heart is too shattered to even wonder why it is times like these when I’m adrift in the Sea of Lost when a friend’s precious smile warms winter’s icy frost and the load I am carrying seems easier to bear I don’t know I would manage without you there I’m not sure I thank you or if those words can even say how sad I would...

© 2025 Written for The Worldly One   😎😏😉 It was Summer holidays and you sent an Uber black I had been at the whiskey and I tripped into the back We sped off down the highway trying to keep a straight face but the driver sure looked relieved when he pulled up at your place You had just walked in fresh from off the sea and I laughed even harder cos you were worse for wear than me And in that moment of happy free I threw away my hard earned peace and without a thought for the chaos it wrought I blew up the locks and opened Pandora's Box The wistful witches whistle at me the magic mirror mocks I catch your eye as we dive head first into Pandora's Box How the hell did we ever think we'd be able to put it all back when we fell down so hard and got pulled right off track and the mischief unleashed that night made both of our hearts sore and the magic mirror wasn't mocking or laughing anymore oh the summer holidays should come with a warning sign to remind me to put a big fa...

© 2025 Written in 2015 when I was highly disillusioned with life on Earth. And back down I fell deep into the familiar blaze of hell, broken bride of the lizard lords who slither and slide over stolen swords, whilst all the while the Souls weep and bleed shackled in an alien creed My heart this pain! and the terror stalking the nights again, clutching hands, ice cold on my back, pulling me down into the whispering black Sanity is not a line you’re not one day crazy and the next day fine it’s a mist a maze twisting in, weaving out until you’re holding the gaze of the stranger in the mirror, utterly shell-shocked having just crossed no man’s land, only to find you’re fighting both sides of the war your finger on the trigger and cold steel at your temple Around you the busy ants scuttle In little tin boxes along snaking black lines, minds ticking over keeping busy, so as not to see or feel, drugging the pain, blotting out the horror of the real And across once teeming-with-life lands the...

Written in Mozambique in 2013 when I felt like I just couldn't take it anymore - drowning in despair - feeling the poaching crisis and canned lion hunting. © 2025 You’re in your cage waiting to die so am I oh dear god so am I There is a point the Soul reaches in the darkest of black when you look in a mirror and Despair stares back when the Evil is kissing you but you can’t push Him away so he stays oh dear god so he stays When the horror the cruelty the blood thirst send you tilting off the steep edge of Sane and you claw your way up but slip slide down again Then it’s the End because you can’t find one reason to carry on trying and the animals the forests all the flowers are dying And the grey clouds come racing to cover up the sun I put my head on my hands because the Evil has won and the laughter the happy is all dead and done oh dear god yes dear god the Evil has won Actually god I think you might be just a dream because when I open my eyes and I listen to the screams batteri...

© 2025 Written about a Man that is often in my head. #PathsNotTaken (remix) He said I was bad news to be precise – I read it twice He said such bad news mean or nice? I wasn’t sure am I the girl He’s looking for or is He just playing with no thought of staying and I’d end up bruised and heartsore Am I bad news really bad news or would I be good if I could find the right Man if I can settle down as I should Well You have to choose win or lose are You even playing the game will You stake Your claim and come play in the flame You’re gonna die all the same Oh Mr Bad News if I had half a chance I’d teach You to dance with these ghosts in my mind You may be surprised cos they’re disguised they’re more killer than kind no sugar just spice load a gun throw the dice You may think twice and rather play nice instead of calling Me Bad News! So You have to choose win or lose are You even playing the game will You take a chance in this crazy dance You’re gonna die all the same Oh Mr Bad News come...

 © 2025 Written in London, 2001 - caught up in Chaos. If only I could see through these mists to reality If only I had wings I would fly away free I retrace wandering footsteps through the haze of the past Hard to find my way now feel so cold and lost Drowning in a whirlpool of Time sucking me down Spinning out to nowhere hope I find myself out there Got to still the weeping and calm a shaking soul For only if I listen will the broken again be whole I turn to face the demons kill them one by one Dance out into the freedom and the warm light of the sun Laid the ghosts now to rest now Silenced their mournful cries Lay my aching head on the Goddess’ breast and shut my burning eyes Copyright Statement:   © 2025 Christine Jordaan.  All lyrics in my songs are my original work.

© 2025 Written in Mozambique in 2007 when I was absolutely shattered - emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Death beckons gently tantalizing me with promises of Peace Don’t tease! I say go away but still He smiles and I smile and all the while I want to go but know I must stay Are you sure? He whispers you can sleep this side no need to run no need to hide just sleep deep You lie!

 © 2025 Written in London, 2001 Thought I was so clever left the feelings for the fools after I decided I wasn’t playing by the rules now my heart is sadly crying while my soul tells me its dying and I’ve lost the numbing comfort of my walls Lied it didn’t happen instead of looking at the truth while angry voices screaming stole the sunlight out of youth now I’m drowning in confusion between what’s real and what’s illusion so I creep a little deeper into the world of magic truth S’pose it doesn’t help when I pop another pill all around is spinning and I need something to stand still was a little rebel but now I’ve lost the cause if anyone is listening, won’t you please push pause So that was the voice in my head thought I was going mad but its the source of the Sad when songs die unheard stood on it crushed it down and all around came crashing down and the devil knows why I can hear it now but its singing inside and my eyes open wide I stand on the rooftop and scream aloud.

© 2025 Written in London in 2001 - a time of pure mayhem. Haunted faded eyes pleading, stare at me seductive lies faltering in the harsh reality angry kisses graze my skin acid’s loving trail of red whispers of heaven murmurs of sin gods of chaos dance in my head I wander off a little further into this illusion of reason losing myself entranced believing I see a door have to go wonder what’s through there? the way is dark my skin is cold voices in the dank air hands are touching me I feel his breath he whispers in my ear all around me screaming inside me I smell the sour fear Stumbling blindly in the darkness gone is sense and sight just as I am drowning I come out into the light here is beauty and joy and I breathe deep of the golden air rainbows wrap around me I embrace them and lose myself there I go dancing merrily further on until the way back is lost and gone do I really care? do I want to go back? and watch the colours fade into black? No! I love it here still I turn away from ...

© 2025 Written in London, 2001. Why do I love it so much ‘cos it brightens the colors and softens life’s touch dancing through days others hear rain but it’s the free spirit calling me out yet again I follow it freely with no thought to why through hazy golden valleys to peaks in blue skies but inside I’m still searching I think maybe I am lost summer is passing and I feel the cold bite of frost Is the magic fading or am I seeing the real I’ve been out here so long I don’t know how to feel But then I hear the music beat pounding through my veins and I give myself up totally in love with Life again so I carry on boldly and squash the doubts and fears but if I love it all so much why are my cheeks wet with tears?

© 2025 A cloudless sky, a lonely star where are you tonight? I hear a whisper from afar but it’s just the wind in the lonesome night   A world of dreams, a promise wept long I lay and in the darkness slept and the lonely star in the sky above I wondered again – where was my love?   My sadness grew and I stumbled on all hope of life was dead and gone the moon so pale in her silver gown and still the lonely star shone down   The wind was cold my heart turned to ice Death was in my veins tears stung my frozen cheeks as I knelt in the grey rains the lonely star was fading away I had to go, I had to follow I lost myself in the weeping grey   I hear a whisper from afar where are you tonight? but it’s just the wind in the lonesome night.  Drakensberg, 1996 Copyright Statement:  © 2025.  All lyrics in my songs are the original work of Christine Jordaan.

 © 2025 The bruise on my wrist has faded The hurt in my heart has gone I’ve come so far, yes baby I’ve made it But why then am I struggling to carry on? Why am I always out chasing storms Turning away from sunny, blue skies Maybe burning in the flames, Playing his endless games Got me addicted to the fire And now I’m simply lost trying to catch the lightning I was searching for the Sun’s Light Just trying to find my way home But I know now that you’re in the thunder Yes, I can hear you in the Storm I can feel you in the wind pulling at me Trying to tell me I can fly And I know that you’re sent the rain To wash away my tears when I have cried You’re a thought form of the drifting clouds, Dreaming shadows, and soft mists But I am frozen icicles Born of my fears and doubts And the bruises on my wrists I was searching for the Sun’s Light Trying to get dry and warm But the strange thing Quite amazing I have fallen in love with the storm.

© 2025 I'm out here in the desert it must be over 90 degrees, but there’s ice freezing in my veins and I'm crying on my knees They say that Times a healer well, he's left me far behind and I'm on this lonesome road through the valley of death with a vampire sucking dry my mind Sun slipping into sinking sand shadows slinking out to play I feel the touch of their icy hands telling me to stay Night drops down, in her velvet gown, and I see him standing on the dune I'm dancing again with the devil somehow but this time an Angel writes the tune. They say that Times a healer well, he's left me far behind and I'm on this lonesome road through the valley of death with a vampire sucking dry my mind and I'm dancing again with the devil somehow but this time an Angel writes the tune.

 © 2025 Dreaming of tomorrow You're a ghost just a shadow a story of who you might want to be hidden in the middle I can feel that you're trouble but there’s no place baby I'd rather be and then its sinking time for this crazy little heart of mine I'm so far under I can’t see the mess that I'm drowning in I'm sinking and I need to learn how to swim I tell myself to run but there’s no place I can hide I open up my head and he's waiting there inside Looking in the mirror my eyes are driving me insane trying to find an exit from this twisted little game Think I'm crying out for Jesus but I'm calling out your name and its sinking time every dream, every wasted prayer dragging me down to the dark and the devils waiting there Its chaos in my head all is spinning round and round the price is way too high for this reason I have found colors fading fast from this vampire in my mind and its sinking time, lost my way far underground too late to turn this story ...

  © 2025 You chose to follow your heart and take the road less travelled choosing between your God at the time and chasing freedom did you know back then that you were losing Eden? Now that the glitter is fading and it’s all slowly slipping away when you’re sitting in the empty, praying at the end of the day can you say it was worth it those mad movie moments like you were walking on air flying so close to the Sun after your restless yearnings you didn't realise the night had come or see your wings burning Looking back I can honestly say although I collected many bruises along my winding way all I wanted was freedom and I guess I knew what I was choosing, but, yes, the mad movie moments like I was walking on air flying so close to the Sun after my restless yearnings I didn't realise the night had come or see my wings burning yes, the mad movie moments were worth losing Eden.

© 2025  He's a man on the run with a motive and a gun when he saw her, he was lost and he stopped to watch her dance She's just a Doll not quite whole Light and Shadow with a Soul and their spinning worlds collided just by chance He told her she was pretty and he would give her the whole city He would fight and start a war she was worth dying for He would kill to set them free for a love that could not be but her heart was made of steel and this love it was not real She's just a Doll not quite whole With a dream song That he stole He could not bear to say goodbye or see his love die in her eyes he let go and watched her fly and mourned her fading cries. She's just a Doll Not quite whole He’s a man Who lost control he could not bear to let her go he mourned her fading cries And her eyes would haunt him 'til the day that he died.

© 2025 You gave me a charm for my bracelet one Sunday afternoon we were lying in bed laughing with rain drumming on the roof you said every year you would add one for our love that would grow but the bracelet snapped last night and that tiny charm fell to the floor all alone Baby I should have collected one for each broken promise instead or maybe drew a cross in red ink on the wall by my bed like prisoners do in jail when they’re locked in the dark to mark the nights I spent weeping since you burnt down my heart The tiny charm was a gold ship for all the trips we would take I would have sunk it that day if I’d known my heart would just break and the journey I’d go on would be one way to hell and leave me sitting crying on the floor where our tiny ship fell I think I will fix my gold bracelet and set sail alone pick myself off the floor and just try and get home and of course, yes, it's raining like that Sunday so long ago but this time I’m not laughing – I’ve been where Angels fea...

© 2025 If my heart were a glass house you could read the writing on the wall of the times I've loved before the crazy road I travelled on stupid things that I have done breaking rules and crossing lines battles fought and Kingdoms won Paid the asking price for Love left a river of tears along the path when my heart was all cried out and I had forgotten how to laugh thought I'd pick it up on the way back home but I'm lost now in the Storm and my dreams are home alone Ghosts of lovers past Sing of the highs that didn’t last and glitter that faded way too fast once the die was cast echoes of what may have been and sunsets yet unseen Oh you cruel, cruel voices! I followed where you led and I ended up in bed with a demon god instead breaking up my head stabbing at my Soul until I was just a broken Doll falling down on the streets of tinsel town Why cant you leave me alone out here on the ocean drifting in darkness waiting for the Moon to shine down Why don't you stay on your...

© 2025 I would give up my rings and sparkly things trade it all in for my Angel Wings We could fly away free just you and me away from all the sorrow that Knowing brings Or maybe I would go back to where it all went wrong when the Sun turned black and I’d write a different song I could go back to play where I first lost my way before I tore off my own Angel Wings Oh what would I give to forget and forgive to simply live and let live with my Angel Wings just spread them out wide sing my Song and then fly far, far away on my Angel Wings To skip this dark winter straight into Spring I could do all of this with my Angel Wings But these grinning little gremlins sinning wee demons ensnared me down here with their poisonous stings a Songbird in a cage trapped for an Age dreaming so sadly of my Angel Wings.

© 2025 Poison Eyes I swear I met Medusa She had an evil look upon her don’t you dare to peep you mere mortal that serpent-haired women’s poison eyes are a portal straight into hell Oh cover her gaze its said her glare will kill you although if you dare to dice with death perhaps her stare will thrill you   Would you choose her or use her seduce her or lose her Medusa and her Poison Eyes she can turn you to stone with just a look ask her last lover, that’s all that it took Oh Medusa your power can uncover a liar could I borrow your stare just for an hour wouldn’t it be fun to watch these creeps run slip-sliding in haste out of the gate Oh Poison eyes seeing right through me She can teach me, She can lead me if she can reach me she can free me oh poison eyes I will take the dare of the serpent stare I will walk through that portal I will risk all to have it all Oh poison eyes!
