lyrics

At the Fish Hoek table, she cut the bread thin

Blue enamel cup, and the sugar tin

She looked at your shoes by the door in a row

Then she shook her head slow, like she already know

She asked where you came from, and who knows your name

Checked your clean collar like a small-town game

I held my breath near the kettle’s steam

Then she tapped the spoon and ended the dream

Gogo says no

Gogo says no

Gogo says no

Gogo says no

At the green taxi rank, you waited by the stand

Holding one brown packet in your left hand

She saw you from the window, with the lace on your cuff

Then she sighed at the gate, like your face said enough

Gogo says no

Gogo says no

Gogo says no

Gogo says no

She keeps your name under old calendar ink

Beside the cracked dish where the tea leaves sink

If you smile too wide, she reads it as play

So she folds her arms and sends you away

Gogo says no

Gogo says no

Gogo says no

Gogo says no
