![]() Trouble Is... (1997) [ larger cover art ] |
Yeah,
Broken lives, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs,
Broken idols, broken heads,
People sleeping, in broken beds.
Ain't no use jivin'
Ain't no use jokin'
Yeah, everything is broken.
Broken bottles, broken legs,
Broken switches, broken gates,
Broken dishes, broken parts,
The streets are filled, with broken hearts.
Broken words, never meant to be spoken,
Ohh - everything is broken.
It seems like every time I stop and - turn around
Something else has just - hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws,
Broken buckles, broken laws,
Broken bodies, broken bones,
Broken voices, on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
Hey everything is broken.
(Instrumental Bridge}
Yeah every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces, in my face
Broken hands, on broken ploughs,
Broken treaties, and broken vows,
Broken pipes, broken tools,
People bending, broken rules.
Hound dog howlin', bull frog croakin'
Hey everything is broken.
Everything is broken.
Everything is broken.
Everything is broken.
Whoh-oh… oh yeah… oh…
Yeah everything is broken.

| faramir (Austin, TX) | Posted: Aug 09, 2002 - 12:44 Great to hear some blues on here! Living in Austin, I've definitely become used to hearing electric blues. Only problem is, the Austin radios don't play non-Austin blues, like Shepherd and Lang. Thanks Bill! ![]() |

| SuperWeh (Delft) | Posted: Apr 19, 2002 - 01:31 KWS is usually accused of being a SRV clone and I can see why. But I don't really care as long as he makes music that sounds good. I like some KWS every now and then. I enjoy this version of "broken". |

| Johray63 (Meppel) | Posted: Mar 08, 2002 - 10:15 Still such a young guy! The future of blues(rock) music, is pretty much guarenteed, with someone like him. A bit 'Dylanesque', this song. |
