I'm in love with Desdemona
She's a former East Bloc spy
she was lying in a coma
at a party in Transkei
I took her in my tractor
to a Doctor in Port St. Johns
I took her back to Durban
We were married in the sun
Her brothers could speak German
they were always on the run
Her father had connections
with bodies in the boot
and friends in government

bits of text from South African radio broadcasts:
"hello?"
"Don't press the button"
"try this as a simple experiment"
"hello?"
"I beg yours?"
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
"They've come to take the young man away"
"Don't press the button"
"hello?"
"I beg yours?"
"ah are we having problems here?"
