How Can You Tune Me Nooit When I Tune You It's Cool
Harmonizing Shadows: Love, Laughter, and the Blues
Lyrics
There's always time for you, I'm always merry
Expressing availability and joy, always ready for the other person.
Bottoms up my bokkie
Toasting or celebrating with a term of endearment.
Here's to the moon
A celebratory gesture, possibly toasting to a romantic setting.
I let you blow me into orbit
Alluding to being captivated or influenced by the partner.
With your favours
Referring to receiving special treatment or kindness from the partner.
So tell me how can you tune me
Questioning how the partner can be indifferent when reciprocation is positive.
Nooit when I tune you, it's cool
Expressing acceptance when reciprocation is positive but confusion when it's not.
I never dream about the way you could have been
Not dwelling on unfulfilled expectations about the partner.
True romance and a party, well, take me away
Desiring a mix of true love and a lively social life.
Come jive with me in the nightclubs, I'll pay for both of us
Offering to cover expenses for a night out in nightclubs.
Tell me how can you tune me
Repeating the question, emphasizing confusion about the partner's response.
It's bad when I tune you, it's okay
Accepting the partner's indifference when reciprocation is negative.
I trap down the street with a bag in my hand
Describing a carefree stroll with intoxication and music.
High on Big Jacks and beer and a tune up here and one or two rand
Mentioning being in a euphoric state due to substances and music.
Whistling a tune I composed on my own
Whistling a self-composed tune, expressing creativity.
Tell me how can you tune me
Repeating the confusion about the partner's response, seeking clarification.
It's blind when I tune you, it's grand
Accepting the partner's indifference as grand or impressive.
I'll keep on falling in love with the shadows again and again and again
Repeating a cycle of falling in love with illusions or unattainable entities.
And polish my boots with the beer that I spill on my shoes
Using spilled beer to polish boots, metaphorically making the best of mistakes.
And strum away my sorrows in six string weekends
Coping with sorrows through musical expression on weekends.
Tell me how can you tune me
Reiterating confusion about the partner's response, exploring the emotional impact.
You scheme it's the greens when I tune you it's the blues
Attributing positive motives to oneself and blues to the partner's response.
Tell me how can you tune me
Repeating the initial confusion, emphasizing the coolness of one's response.
Nooit when I tune you, it's cool
Accepting the partner's indifference as cool when reciprocation is negative.
