lyrics
Broke as a joke ain't much of a
Joke, 'cause it stings like smoke in the
Eye when you bring it too close by
Want another drag/ never know why
Take me on a ghost ride/ choke my
Pride/ watch the hopes die
Smoke rise when the soul flies
But won't fly in the cold sky (that's why)
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break til it's broken down
I wear grief like a bow tie
I buried you in cheap suit
You wear worthless on both sides
And torn rags you can see through
It must be you ain't fed right
I bleed blue not the red, white
I heard truth is a lead pipe
If I don't split then my head might
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break til it's broken down
You've had me all wrong all along
Don't judge a book that ain't written yet
I must've come on too strong
Now you're standing there with frost-bitten flesh
How low can you go
I'm talking bout temperatures of snow
Ice storm and its 40 below
That's the realm of the dead man's soul
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break til its broken down
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break til it's broken down
Look me in the eye if you gonna lie
Let me down slow if you gotta go
Did you watch it die or did you walk by
Guess you don't know 'caus you're too stoned
Ever seen a man leave his own shell?
Lose his own mind in his own hell?
Dirty little secret that you don't tell
All behind the doors of a hotel
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break til it's broken down
Danger, danger
Move back 'fore my cool snap/ who's that
Stranger, stranger
Tryin' to count these vultures but I lose track
Vapors, vapors
Follow holy smoke trails better use that
Anchor, anchor
or you might drift off on a new path
Maybe that ain't so wrong
Maybe that ain't so bad
Maybe fresh winds give a new spin
Maybe worst trip you ever had
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break til its broken down
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break til its broken down
I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless. @NomadRoamsFree
Iggy Pop waxes poetic about beef jerky and gas-station living on this taut, one-off collaboration with the experimental hip-hop musician. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2019
Album of the year. In a fair and just world, they would be headlining festivals with this one. Big hooks. Vivid verses. Fingers-crossed, the instrumentals will get the vinyl treatment. Goodwill Hunter
