During the real estate boom

During the real estate boom
Everyone becomes a real estate agent
No wonder
There are 13000 real estate agents
8000 police
and 3000 soldiers in our country
I went to my favourite sandwich shop in Manukau
The boss wished to sell me his listing
But I only wanted a sandwich!
I went to Papatoetoe to get a fresh chicken
The boss wished to sell me her listing
But I only want a fresh chicken
I ring up my best friend in Howick hoping for a good chat
He also wish to sell me his listing
But I only want a good chat!
Some say a good man should able to buy his own castle
Gimme a break!
I'm not yet a good man!

King of Manukau

Follow Whitford Road up, down
along the river, the hillside,
and taking all the gentle curves.
Drive my new 6 litre, V12 Beemer along Te Irirangi Road.
Travelling to Botany Downs
and Manukau City without speeding.
When rain falls like swords from the sky,
I got my beloved by my side.
I cherish what God has given me - this golden time.
My goal is to fight for my beautiful dream of a better tomorrow!

I can hear the robust sound of the engine wherever I go.
After climbing the hills,
I stop and brace against the strong wind.
My hands are holding the revolution of the stars and the moon.
Wishing Manukau peace and prosperity.
I really want to live a 100 years more.
Long live the King!

The Manukau Harbour

Baby hold me tight
when you see me smile
At the far end of the earth
Who is in my head?

That pair of seabirds
That high tide
That voyage should be beautiful
but doomed
You can't be sure
the weather is going to be fine
When the rain falls
you cannot ignore the signal

No time to miss
Your scent
Your heart
Who is hugging you now?

As time goes by
Who know how much I miss you
I pray at this side of the harbour
but who can hear?
