Lloyd Cole - Morning Is Broken lyrics

You used to be mean You used to be cruel But you were laughing then And it was no accident Where did the mean man go Is he chasing his shadow Is he unhappy to report That the gentleman he found is a terrible bore You know it all You've got all the answers But if that's the case What's with the long face It's very easy to be brave With your good foot in the grave It's very easy to be cold When there's no one in the world you want to know It's very easy to be suave When you're on your guard Like you always are The sun goes down and now the shadows arise And morning is broken as you mourn your life You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors You face up the mirror, mister pimp or who*e Is it hard to let go At the foot of the rainbow Just to be informed That the chase was your reward Here have a crock of gold Keep it for when you're old Like a week on tuesday Hey wise man say It's very easy to be brave With your good foot in the grave It's very easy to be cold When there's nowhere in the world you want to go It's very easy to be suave When you're on your guard Like you always are The sun goes down and now the shadows arise And morning is broken as you mourn your life You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors You face up the mirror, mister pimp or who*e The sun goes down and now the shadows arise And morning is broken as you mourn your life You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors The morning is broken, mister pimp or who*e Put me in the ground Put me in the ground Come on put me in the ground The morning is broken (the morning is broken as you mourn your life) Come on put me in the ground (the sun goes down and now the shadows arise) Come on come on put me in the ground (the morning is broken as you mourn your life) The morning is broken The sun goes down and now the shadows arise And morning is broken as you mourn your life
