Letra de Everything Is Broken (Live at the Jazz Cafe London 15th July 2014)
(Whoo, whoo!)Broken lines, broken strings Broken threads, broken springs Broken idols, broken heads People sleepin' 'round in broken beds Ain't no use jiving Ain't no use in joking Look around ya, everything is brokenBroken bottles and then them broken songs You got them broken dishes and only broken bones We got them broken idols and broken heads Both sleepin' 'round in broken beds Take a deep breath, do you feel like you're choking? Everything is brokenEvery time you stop and look around Something else just hit the ground, LordEvery time you leave and go off someplace Things fall to pieces right in front of your faceWe got them broken bottles and then them broken souls We got them broken switches and all them broken laws We got them broken bodies and them broken bones Broken voices singin' broken songs Take a deep breath, do you feel like you're choking? That's 'cause the air's all fucked up, and everything is brokenLord, broken Lord, Lord, Lord Every, everything is broken (Broken, ah) (Oh, Lord) So (oh, Lord)(Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!) (Whoo!) We thank you (Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo-whoo-whoo!) We thank you so much You know, I always explained that when I come to England It's very much like returning home from college I have to tell you all what has happened Because many of you know where this started And you know that lots of things have changed Since the first time you brought me over hereFor one thing, I have more real close friends And relatives than I've ever had before But it is so good to be here with you It is always good to be with you At one point, I thought this was going to be the Only place I would ever have to go But you guys stuck with me for so long Until you just insisted that everybody else take a listen And then got a few more people to help, and - So now look what it's turned intoUsed to just be me and Clyde standin' here by ourselves But I have finally signed with a British company (whoo, whoo!) Ha-ha (whoo!), I love it too I am the newest member of the Cherry Red organization (whoo!) So we're -, we're -, we're fi-filming this tonight If anybody would like to go and put on some makeup Or whatever else, whatever else you might need to do 'Cause I want you all to look gorgeous Because you're part of my familyNow, I've never said this on a recording before And I've been telling the guys that at some point This individual is gonna catch up with me and shoot me At any rate, this is the song that I recorded in 1972 It is a song that was written, oh, no, honey, we got some before that You sound like my granddaughter now "Grandma, what's a record?" But this is a song that was written by the American soul singer Mr. Joe Simon However, I sing it better
