Song #11

Performer: Karen Zoid (South Africa)
Title: Aeroplane Jane

Biography

Karen Zoid is a Pop-Rock singer, guitarist and songwriter who comes from Johannesburg, South Africa. Born in 1978, she began her career as a street performer attracting lice, flies, food leftovers and apparently some awareness in the South African musical scene, eventually becoming an award-winning national figure. So far, she has released 3 albums, with songs in English as well as her native Afrikaans. All 3 albums achieved a Gold Record status (25,000 sales). Her songs are notable for their unique lyrics, which, at least according to some sources, are "regarded as poetry and taught in universities". Her culturally-mixed band helped established her cross-culture popularity, and she even performed in the inauguration of president Mbeki. She has enjoyed little success outside South Africa as yet, but The Others are intent on changing that.
In an interview with her sponsor Karen said that "life on the streets taught me to take care of myself and see the beauty in things that other people might overlook like orange peels and the last few drops in a Coke can. But seriously, I shit you not, I really want your board folk to vote for my song, and make me and Sith Efrika proud"

Lyrics:


We said goodbye I boarded at Gate nine
You phoned again while I stood there in the line
She gave me a hand and showed me to my seat
Alas woe was me no place for my feet

Quietly I go insane on this lonely aeroplane
Everybody looks the same on a lonely aeroplane
And the strange man next to me don't say 'scuze me when he sneeze
Someone come and save me please I think that he just cut the cheese
You're a million miles away and I miss you so today
Quietly I go insane coz I am lonely Aeroplane Jane

Aeroplane Jane
Aeroplane Jane's gone insane

As I loose sense of reality
You are still my only memory
As I loose a
As I loose a sensa of a of reality
As I loose a
As I loose a sensa of a

Coz I'm about to go insane on this lonely aeroplane
Everybody looks the same on a lonely aeroplane
And the in-flight magazines advertise washing machines
All your clothing stays pristine when you wash with a machine
You're a million miles away and I miss you so today
Quietly I go insane coz I am lonely Aeroplane Jane

Aeroplane Jane
Aeroplane Jane's gone insane

Serve the coffee and they serve the tea
Strange man don't say thank you don't say please

K-ke-ke-ke-keep goin'
Buh-bup-beep-beep-beep Boeing

You're a million miles away and I miss you so today
Quietly I go insane on this lonely aeroplane
