Breakdown

Howard Devoto, Pete Shelley

[Intro]
Ah

[Verse 1]
If I seem a little jittery, I can't restrain myself
I'm falling into fancy fragments, can't contain myself

[Hook 1]
I'm gonna breakdown, uh, I'm gonna break a-down, yes
I'm gonna breakdown, uh, I'm gonna break a-down, yes

[Verse 2]
Now I can stand austerity, but it gets a little much
When there's all these livid things that you never get to touch

[Hook 1]
I'm gonna breakdown, uh, I'm gonna break a-down, yes
I'm gonna breakdown, uh, I'm gonna break a-down, yes

[Chorus 1]
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, now I'm living on my knees
Break a-down, yes, I'm gonna break a-down, yes
I'm gonna break a-down, yes, uh-huh

[Verse 3]
Whatever makes me tick, it takes away my concentration
Sets my hands a-trembling, gives me frustration

[Hook 2]
A breakdown, uh, I'm gonna break a-down, yes
I'm gonna breakdown, uh, I'm gonna break a-down, yes

[Verse 4]
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

[Hook 3]
A breakdown, uh, I'm gonna break a-down, yes
We're gonna breakdown, uh, I'm gonna break a-down, yes

[Chorus 2]
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, uh
Living next to nothing, my nevermind remains, uh
A break a-down, yes, I'm gonna break a-down, yes
I'm gonna break a-down, yes

[Outro]
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, hoo
