Broken Keys Songtext
von Ed Harcourt

Broken keys, they don′t mean much to me
If you're not around to put them back together
Ah, broken keys, maybe I′ll just let them be
Perhaps they make a better sound
When they're all stuck together

I said, "Please, please baby
Soothe these callous fingers
My soul has not surrendered
Since you burned my heart to cinders"
Let the band play on in sheer cacophony

So, won't you fix me up?
I′m a little bit stuck
I think we suffered enough
From all these maddening times
So, won′t you fix me up?
I'm a little bit stuck
Thank God you′ve got enough love
To stop us losing our minds


Broken keys, they dissonate so perfectly
I'll wash these bloody hands
That have been hammering forever

I said, "Please, please baby
Pull out all the splinters
I′m a-lyin' in the winter
Since you′ve burned my heart to cinders"
And the band play on in sheer cacophony

So, won't you fix me up?
I'm a little bit stuck
I think we suffered enough
From all these maddening times
So, won′t you fix me up?
I′m a little bit stuck
Thank God you've got enough love
To stop us losing our minds (losing our minds)

Losing our minds
Losing our minds
Losing our minds
Losing our minds
Losing our minds
Losing our minds


So, won′t you fix me up?
I'm a little bit stuck
I think we suffered enough
From all these maddening times
So, won′t you fix me up?
I'm a little bit stuck
Thank God you′ve got enough love
To stop us losing our minds, ooh
