"Broken Bricks" lyrics
"Broken Bricks"
Well, have you been to the broken bricks, girl?
Snuck down through the cyclone fence
Past the caution tape and the security gate
Backwards to the break-room bench
Well, there's a little corner where you first got kissed
And felt your boyfriend's fist and made the company list
And there's a little spot where your dad ate lunch
And your brother landed his first punch, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well have you been to the broken bricks girl
Seen the barrels that they left behind?
Seen the machine that cut aluminium clean
And got tape from the caution sign
Broken tooth window panes
Just a rusty-colored rain that drives a man insane
You try to jump over water but you land in oil
Climb the ladder up a broken crane yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't go to the broken bricks girl
It's not the place that you want to be
Think about the spot your father spent his life
Demolition calls it "Building C"
Demolition calls it "Building C" now
Demolition calls it "Building C" now yeah

At the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar

Tell me it ain't nothing
That's what I wanna hear
Take the lie to the grave
That's what an old friend told me
Look what it did for him
Oh, oh
The truth hurts so bad, wouldn't you...
The Strokes - "Taken For A Fool" Sister, it feels like just yesterday
Sister, don't you forget my number
On this door?

Everybody hanging on for...
Cold War Kids - "So Tied Up" You can't cut me loose until you show me
I told you the truth about the old me
And now you use confession as the proof
Do what you have to do
Go ahead and act the fool

You want so...
