Beaten and Broken Lyrics by Mekons

Original Sin

1986

[Verse 1]
Somebody woke me this morning
I didn't know where I was
The person I spent the night with
Just looked at me and sighed
[Chorus]
I caught a train to Sheffield
But in my mind I was already in hell
I betrayed a friend
Beaten and broken to the end
[Verse 2]
Me, I just rolled over and died
Thinking about the things that I've done
Where you know they don't need to be repeated
'Cos I lived there in a haze of disgust
[Chorus]
I caught a train to Shеffield
But in my mind I was already in hell
I bеtrayed a friend
Beaten and broken to the end
[Verse 3]
Time goes so slowly
And the days they go so fast
I'd love to pass out on your shoulder
'Cos we're deep in a pocket of love
[Chorus]
I caught a train to Sheffield
But in my mind I was already in hell
I betrayed a friend
Beaten and broken to the end
Outro:
He was okay yesterday
Then bingo
Doc, I called you just as soon as I seen.....
