Something Got Broke

SOMETHING GOT BROKE
Something inside me got broke somehow
It’s gonna be bitch to mend
Something inside me got broke and now
I'm gonna crash and burn again
I can’t help myself it’s just this thing I do
If you stand too close I swear you're sure to
end up going down too
Something got broke
Something got broke
Everyone around me gets hurt somehow
It always goes down the same
Everyone around me gets burned and now
It's all gonna happen again
I'll be flying high next thing I know
I'm in a nose-dive
I'm spinning out of control
CHORUS:
Round and round
Keep coming back for more
I’ll tear you down
Like I did so many time before
Something got broke
Something got broke
Everything I make gets bent somehow
You don't want me hanging round here
It never comes out like I meant somehow
It was always gonna end in tears
Can’t stop myself this happens every time
Call me a Jonah you should
Try and learn to read the signs
CHORUS
I can’t help myself it’s just this thing I do
If you stand too close I swear you're sure to
end up going down too
CHORUS x2

Big House

BIG HOUSE
I know there’s something going on up at the big house
Although it’s purely speculation I’ll allow
Some new guy we don’t know
Bought the place six weeks ago
No-one saw him moving in but he’s there now
He ain’t connected the electric at the big house
Although he’s been there for at least a week or more
But every single night
You can plainly see a light
Burning in the window on the second floor
And how much plastic sheeting does one man need?
What’s he gonna do with all that bleach?
So said Maggie’s Pa after he showed up at the store
To stock up on supplies one night last week
There's strange noises always coming from the big house
Hammering and drilling ev'ry night
And Jesus, what the hell
Is that goddamn dreadful smell?
Something at the Big House just ain’t right
INSTRUMENTAL
There’s been a lot of digging at the Big House
There’s mounds of earth all piled up round the yard
I’m not the only one round here
Who thinks it’s just plain weird
That it only seems to happen after dark
He's blacked out all the windows in the big house
Why do you suppose he would do that?
Is there stuff he's got inside
he fells he needs to hide?
i swear it just ain't normal that's a fact
What on earth's he gonna do with all that timber?
And those eight by four foot sheets of polished steel?
And forty pounds of nails, even if they were on sale
Seems like conspicuous consumption if you’re asking me
Yes there's something going on up at the big house
And though I ain't the sort to easily take fright
Since this new guy came along
It all seems somehow wrong
Something at the big house just ain't right
Something at the big house just ain't right

I WILL STAND
I will stand
I will not run
I see it through
Until it’s done
Though I may stumble
I will not fall
I will stand firm
I will stand tall
I may falter
I will not break
You put me down
Make no mistake
I’ll come right back
Three times as strong
I’ll take the pain
Just bring it on
While I have breath I will not waver
Come what may I’ll stick around
And if you will stand beside me
Side by side we’ll hold our ground
We will stand
We will endure
Whatever trouble
Life has in store
Together
Come rain or shine
We will stand fast
We’ll walk the line
While I live I will hold steady
As long as I can stand with you
United we’ll last forever
Come what may we’ll make through
We will stand
We will endure
Whatever trouble
Life has in store
Together
Come rain or shine
We will stand fast
We’ll walk the line
We will stand
We will not run
We’ll see it through
Until it’s done
Though we may stumble
We will not fall
We will stand firm
We will stand tall

I’VE INTERACTED WITH BRUCE LACEY’S HEAD
You can talk about the weather
You can talk about your health
You can talk about your brain scan
And brag about your wealth
You can bore me with your haemorrhoids
And pictures of your kids
You can go on about your holiday
And all the things you did
Don’t assume I’ll be amazed
When it’s all been done and said
‘Cos I’ve interacted with Bruce Lacey’s Head
I’ve seen his Jelly Woman
And his landing on the moon
I’ve heard him singing Sleepy Valley
And other madcap tunes
I’ve watched him dancing ‘round and chanting
In the middle of the night
Wearing not a stitch of clothing
And his willy painted white
You may think that what you’ve done
Will knock the public dead
But I’ve interacted with Bruce Lacey’s head
So understand my situation
If I’m not all that impressed
By your tales of heavy drinking
And your stylish mode of dress
I’m afraid I will be yawning
As your story is unfurled
‘Cos I’ve seen Rosabosom
Win Alternative Miss World
You might have had more sex than Motley Crue
More drugs than Mick and Keith
The things you’ve done to your chinchilla
May be strange beyond belief
But if your tale underwhelms me
Try not to get cross
I’ve seen the weirdest of the weird
Done by the all-time weirdness boss
When you’ve seen his womaniser
There’s no more to be said
‘Cos I’ve interacted, yes I’ve interacted
Yes I’ve interacted with Bruce Lacey’s head

You Little Genius

YOU LITTLE GENIUS.
CHORUS
You little genius
You make it look so easy on bother or fuss
You got it all worked out before it’s even begun
There’s no doubt about it you’re the brilliant one (oh yeah!)
And you leave me in the dust
You little genius.
vs1. I need to tell you what’s on my mind
Let’s get it straight from the start now I speak as I find.
You got me right where you want me and now that I’m here
I can see how you did it its all coming clear.
Your strategy was masterful I’m awestruck and amazed,
You won the game before I new that a game was being played.
RPT CHORUS.
Vs2.Wherever I run to wherever I hide
You’ve been there first and you’ve published a travel guide.
I never really had a hope in hell
And that’s fine by me ‘cos you do it so well.
You fixed it all so beautifully, you’ve covered every base.
What a well laid plan and executed with such style and grace.
RPT CHORUS.
Vs.3I fall to my knees in admiration because you’re beyond compare
You’ve really done the job on this one all the rest of us are nowhere.
INSTRUMENTAL.
Vs.4 You fixed it all so beautifully, you’ve covered every base.
What a well laid plan and executed with such style and grace.

Flesh of the Hog

FLESH OF THE HOG
You can keep your fried chicken and your rib-eye steak
Don’t ya gimme no greens that’s a big mistake
Spicy grilled vegetables and crawfish pie
Ain’t the kind of vittles’ gonna catch my eye
I know what it takes to make my taste buds rock
I wanna feast on the flesh of the hog
Prawn stuffed flatfish red beans and rice
You tell me it’s good but it don’t roll my dice
Some people eat salad: I don’t mean to be rude
I was surprised to discover that this counts as food
I know what it takes to make my taste buds rock
I wanna feast on the flesh of the hog
fried chops, tenderloin, what can I say?
slow roast pulled pork blows me away
Barbequed ribs hot chilli dogs
I wanna feast on the flesh of the hog
Crisp fried bacon, ham on the bone
Jerk pork belly I can’t leave it alone
Wild boar, hog roast, toad in the hole
It’s a taste sensation eat it hot or cold
I know what it takes to make my taste buds rock
I wanna feast on the flesh of the hog
fried chops, tenderloin, what can I say?
slow roast pulled pork blows me away
Barbequed ribs hot chilli dogs
I wanna feast on the flesh of the hog
Black pudding, pork rinds boudin, charcute
I’m a hog for the pigmeat, ain’t it the truth
Stuffed Porcetta, gammon and eggs
It don’t have to cost you an arm and a leg
I know what it takes to make my taste buds rock
I wanna feast on the flesh of the hog

Healer
05:23
|

YOU’RE THE HEALER
I was in a state I was down and out
I was all used up and there ain’t no doubt
I was all messed up with no place to go
I was busted, battered, broken and blue
All out of luck couldn’t see a way through
My self-respect was at an all-time low
Then you did your thing
You came and took me under your wing
You fixed me up you put me straight
Now I’m stepping right up to the plate
CHORUS
Na na na-na-na na You’re the healer
Na na na-na-na na come to make it right
Na na na-na-na na I want to thank you
Na na na-na-na na You brought me back to life
Way off course, drifting onto the rocks
I was over extended I was under the cosh
Lost at sea and I was sinking fast
I was off the reservation I was on the way down
With no hope or expectation of turning it around
In the great race of life I was coming in last
Then you came along
You showed me how I’d got it all wrong
You picked me up you brought me back
You put me on the right track
CHORUS
You’re the real deal you’re the main event
You never give less than a hundred per cent
I was hurting, you took away the pain
I was going under you threw me line
You said stick with me it’ll turn out fine
You picked up the pieces and put them together again
You’re the healer, you’re the fixer
You’re the treatment, you’re the cure
You’re the mover, trouble-shooter
You’re the shelter, from the storm
Then you did your thing
You came and took me under your wing
You fixed me up you put me straight
Now I’m stepping right up to the plate
CHORUS
