Breaking bad news Never was anything you could use There was just too much time for worry Memory fades Into deeper shades of grey Everything's fine, you barely notice now Mandy Breakdown Bruises and scars In shapes of the stars, good stories in bars Good for a laugh if you let her Yellow and brown One lifts you up and one brings you down I can't say which is better Mandy Breakdown Squirrels at play They've come to take the nuts away I wouldn't worry if I was you Sick and diseased Crouching down on your knees It's all so old that it feels so new Mandy Breakdown Hidden from view Everyone lowers their voice around you All the attention you so rightly earned When will it end? Where do we send the bends that mend All of your friends are so concerned Mandy Breakdown
