lyrics

I’m not going to write, a song about us
Cos try as I might, the words get mixed up
And all of my songs, are messy breakups
So why would I write, when things are looking up?

Seems like bad luck

It’s not going to be, the same as last time
When all of our trials, end up in matched rhymes
The only time, that I write a song
When all that we had, has all gone wrong

May as well write a song

I thought that it could be, different this time
And I could write a happy song, and say what’s on my mind
Now I’m seeing roadblocks, right on up ahead
Looks like I’m going back to writing sad old songs instead

I flicked through the book, of happy endings
But I couldn’t find a single one that fit
I don’t want to be, some sad-ending guy
So that’s why I say please don’t ask me to try

It just won’t fly
Don’t ask me to try
It just won’t fly

Burnt and Broken
by Cisco Caesar

The real deal. If you like music from the golden era of sound, when music sounded like honey dripping down a unicorn’s flank and vocals flowed like milk from a Tibetan yak, you'll like them. Simon Hudson
