Like a Broken Record - Lloyd Cole

Not that I had that much dignity left anyway

Nor could I feign great surprise when she finally walked away

Yesterday’s lover will fall for another

And I won’t stand in her way

But we already sang that song

And she’s already gone, gone, gone

And you’re starting to sound like a broken record

By the time we were done driving across Texas

I was feeling kind of small

See, we’d stopped for some food when she picked up the dude from the rodeo

Ahoy California!

We’re coming to join ya

To pump that gasoline

But we already sang that song

And she’s already long, long, gone

And we’re starting to sound like a broken record

Broken promises

Broken dreams

Broken marriages

Broken rings

Somewhere along the line I left the straight

For the arc of least resistance

And I’m starting to sound like a broken record

Third verse the same as the first verse the same on

The arc of least resistance

Yes, I’ve started to sound like a broken record

Not that I had that much dignity left anyway
