Broken Keys Lyrics by Ed Harcourt

El Magnifico

2024

[Verse 1: Ed Harcourt]
Broken keys
They don't mean much to me
If you're not around
To put them back together

Ah, broken keys
Maybe I'll just let them be
Perhaps they make a better sound
When they're all stuck together

[Pre-Chorus: Ed Harcourt]
I said, "Please, please, baby
Soothe these callous fingers
My soul has not surrendered
Since you burned my heart to cinders"
Let the band play on in sheer cacophony

[Chorus: Ed Harcourt & Greg Dulli]
So won't you fix mе up?
I'm a little bit stuck
I think we sufferеd enough
From all these maddening times
So won't you fix me up?
I'm a little bit stuck
Thank God you've got enough love
To stop us losing our minds

[Verse 2: Greg Dulli]
Broken keys
They dissonate so perfectly
I'll wash these bloody hands
That have been hammering forever

[Pre-Chorus: Greg Dulli]
I said, "Please, please, baby
Pull out all the splinters
I'm a-lyin' in the winter
Since you've burned my heart to cinders"
And the band play on in sheer cacophony

[Chorus: Ed Harcourt & Greg Dulli]
So won't you fix me up?
I'm a little bit stuck
I think we suffered enough
From all these maddening times
So won't you fix me up?
I'm a little bit stuck
Thank God you've got enough love
To stop us losing our minds

[Bridge: Ed Harcourt, Greg Dulli]
Losing our minds
Losing our minds
Losing our minds
Losing our minds
Losing our minds
Losing our minds

[Chorus: Ed Harcourt & Greg Dulli]
So won't you fix me up?
I'm a little bit stuck
I think we suffered enough
From all these maddening times
So won't you fix me up?
I'm a little bit stuck
Thank God you've got enough love
To stop us losing our minds
