Broken Record / paypal.me/aircrashdetectives
Pre-Chorus
She scratched all my records
But she only scratched the surface
When you live by the sword
You must die by the sword
You can say it
Until you are blue in the face
Chorus
When I pray to the Lord
That’s all I can afford
As history repeats
It’s greatest defeats
Come get your reward
It’s your time to come alive
Don’t get old
Don’t get tired
Of being bored
Too many irons in the fire
I can talk to you
Over and over
Until I am blue
Like a broken record
Verse
They battered their fish
Like they battered their women
And she once was a dish
That you could feast your eyes on
As the dandelions asked me to make a wish
And the girl of my dreams said
Keep moving on
In between dodging his fists
And avoiding another miscarriage
From one of those nights
When it all seemed to be
Right
I know right!
The gin
And the tonic
Turned him into the six million dollar man
Where you could rebuild him
You just don’t understand him
He is not what you think
I can fix it
Like I fix my drinks
Ice in the glass
You can all mind your business
And kiss my ass
As all of my dreams, end up
In the kitchen sink
From the ravages of war
And a mother who swore
More
Often than the very whores
She was reluctant
To be kind to
And it’s kind of ironic
That the antibiotics
Were resistant to the strains
And an arse that was sore
From the beatings
And the penicillin
That was injected
To fight off the cold sores
From the other gentlemen
Who frequented
The very places
That were frowned upon
This circle of life
Is a little more contentious
When those who expect
Are the ones who neglect
And forget
To respect
The hands that built
This
And it’s not perfect
Never will be
That wave of a hand
Tip of a hat
A note on the back of a postcard
Goes a long way
To misguiding the next generation
Movies
It’s open to interpretation
If you look hard enough
You can see it hidden in plain sight
Trouble
In amongst the finer things
As real life
Dirties it up again
With angst
And worry
Because that’ what we do
Tension
Suspensions
Until we learn our lessons
And conform
