Lyrics

Breakdown

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If I seem a little jittery I can't restrain myself

I'm falling into fancy fragments - can't contain myself

I'm gonna breakdown - breakdown yes

Now I can stand austerity but it gets a little much

when there's all these livid things that you never get to touch

I'm gonna breakdown ...

I feel me brain like porridge coming out of me ears

and I was anticipating reverie

I've taken leave of me senses - and I'm in arrears

my legs buckle over - I'm living on my knees

I'm gonna breakdown ...

Whatever makes me tick it takes away my concentration

sets my hands a-trembling - gives me frustration

I'm gonna breakdown ...

So I hear that two is company for me it's plenty trouble

though my double thoughts are clearer now that I am seeing double

I'm gonna breakdown ...

Oh mum can I grow out of what's too big for me?

I'll give up that ghost before it gives up me

I wander loaded as a crowd - a nowhere wolf of pain

Living next to nothing - my nevermind remains

I'm gonna breakdown ...
