Breakdown (BBC - Friday Rock Show 1.8.80) Songtext
von Girlschool

we all come in from the cold
we come down from the wire
an everybody warms themselves
to a different fire
when sometimes we get burned
you′d think sometime we'd learn
the one you love is the one
that should take you higher
you ain′t got no one
you better go back out and find her
just like children hidin' in a closet
can't tell what′s goin′ on outside
sometimes we're so far off the beaten track
we′ll get taken for a ride
by a parlor trick or some words of wit
a hidden hand up a sleeve
to think that the one you love
could hurt you now
is a little hard to believe
but everybody darlin' sometimes


bites the hand that feeds
when i look around
everybody always brings me down
well is it them or me well i just can′t see
but there ain't no peace to be found
but if someone really cared,
well they′d take the time to spare
a moment to try to understand
another one's despair
remember in this game we call life that no one
said it's fair
breakdown
let me hear it now
breakdown
let me hear it now
yeah
breakdown
let me hear it now
breakdown
let me hear it now
get down with yo′ bad self
alright
i′ve come to know the clod
i think of it as home
when there ain't enough of me to go around
i′d rather be left alone
but if i call you out of habit i'm out of love and
i gotta have it
would you give it to me if i fit your needs
like when we both knew we had it
but now the damage′s done
and we're back out on the run
funny how ev′rything was roses
when we held on to the guns
just because you're winnin'
don′t mean you′re the lucky ones
breakdown
let me hear it now
breakdown
yeah
breakdown
breakdown
let me hear it now
"there goes the challenger being chased
by the blue blue meanies on wheels
the vicious traffic squad cars are after
our lone driver
the last american hero
the-the electric sintar
the demi-god,
the super driver of the golden west!
two nasty nazi cars are close behind
the beautiful lone driver
the police cars are getting closer-closer...
closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile,
yeah baby!
they about to strike him, they gonna get him,
smash! rape!
the last beautiful free soul on this planet
but... it is written if the evil spirit arms
the tiger with claws
brahman provided wings for the dove
thus spake the super guru"
"did you hear that"
