#36

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Yeah, yeah I scream...

With you on my mind so heavy and so hard

I don't know quite everything

You make me think of a better thing...

Better things to fill my day with

But they don't mean to go

Please don't be too bad with me, God

Please don't be too good...

Let some women's light, women's light

Chain my hands with me singing...

Hani Hani, come and dance for me

Whoa, whoa, sooner there

Hani Hani, come and dance for me

Only the brave

Hani Hani, come and dance for me

(feeling the night)

Hani Hani, come and dance for me

Lead me back home to life

You made Heaven turn to dirt

And dirt turn to dance on

Heaven come my way

Baby surely do

Maybe some moonlight

Maybe some, baby surely do

Maybe some moonlight

Say this say this...

Hani Hani, come and dance for me

Underneath the moonlight

Hani Hani come and dance for me

Hani Hani, come and dance for me

Come on, come on go

Hani Hani, come and dance for me

Give it back, give it back....

Oh man, I can't talk

A man was tall and once tore a piece of freedom for us all

When, then, you least expect it

Man can cut from of his own heart

For us all, that man

Don't believe it, oh yeah....

God, two men slice and dice each other up in his place

They don't believe it...

Well leave it

Leave it lying, leave it lying, leave it lying

Got me singing

Hani Hani, come and dance for me

( NOTE: "#36" is a song dedicated to the memory of South

African anti-apartheid leader Chris Hani who was killed in hisefforts to

free South Africa. The main refrain of "Hani, Hani come and dancewith me"

was changed to "Honey, honey come and dance with me" because Davefelt that

the song was too upbeat to have such a sad message of death.Consequently,

Dave also dropped the original lyrics about Hani's murder for amore upbeat

mix of scats, moans, and lines about love and happiness. With therelease of

"Everyday," "#36" has morphed into the title track, and the bandstill weaves

"#36" into "Everyday" when performing the song in concert.)
