Lloyd Cole and the Commotions

 

Looking like a Born Again, living like a heretic

Listening to Arthur Lee records

Making all your friends feel so guilty about their cynicism

And the rest of their generation

Not even the government are gonna stop you now

But are you ready to be heartbroken?

Are you ready to be heartbroken?

Pumped up full of vitamins

On account of all the seriousness

You say you're so happy now

You can hardly stand

Lean over on the bookcase

If you really wanna get straight

Read Norman Mailer

Or get a new tailor

Are you ready to be heartbroken?

Are you ready to be heartbroken?

Are you ready to bleed?

What would it take, what would it take to wipe

That smile off of your face?

Are you ready to be?

Are you ready to bleed?

Are you ready to be heartbroken?

Are you ready to be heartbroken?

Well, you better get ready now, baby

Ready to bleed

(Ready to bleed)

Ready to bleed
