Elton John - Durban Deep Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinAvailable on the album sleeping with the pastI wont see you `till christmasI breathe coal dust, I get blistersBut the foreman he dont worryHe say work boy theres no hurryDont that big red sunLook a lot like fireWhen you come out of the groundAfter forty eight hoursGoing down down down down downGoing down in durban deepGoing down down down down downTheres no mercy in my sleepI just hear that drill and hammerI feel the killing heatGoing two miles down to the heartOf durban deepI was born on amen cornerI pound rock face, I get lonelyBut my family they go hungrySill the boss man he call us lazyDont the old blue heavenLook a lot like your eyesWhen youre blinded by the brightnessOf the transvaal sky
