Barnett, Courtney - How To Boil An Egg Lyrics






All my clothes in milk crates, I don't sleep for days
Wait until the letter's read, until my bills get paid
Ah, tell me, tell me, tell me
When's it gonna change?
Ah, tell me, tell me, tell me
When's it gonna change?

Every morning I feel more useless than before
Trying hard to see the point in anything at all
Oh, I've been trying
I've been trying really hard
Yeah, I've been trying
I've been trying really hard

Pull yourself together, pick myself apart
Nothing lasts for never, so be still my bleeding heart
Oh, I've been dreaming
Dreaming of a brand new start
Yeah, I've been dreaming
Dreaming of a brand new start

Oh, you have a great abundance of axes there to grind
Remember some people have real problems next time you whine
Oh, hang the washing
Hang the washing on the line
Yeah, hang the washing
Hang the washing on the line

Yeah, I've been trying
I've been trying really hard
Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me
When's it gonna change?

  1. s.... s....

    I can't decide what I love more, this awesomely catchy tune or this incredibly cute fish video :) <3

  2. K.... K....

    Apparently my head was buried further in the sand than I previously thought. Just hearing this Savage Artist for the first time and this Chick rocks hard. Going to marathon listen for a bit.
    : )--"

  3. T.... L....

    Exene Cervenka eat your heart out.

  4. D.... ....

    Frieda Sharko

  5. P.... D....

    Has this girl ever written a bad song?

  6. t.... t....

    "Nothing lasts forever, so be still my bleeding heart"

  7. B.... ....

    I put this in full screen mode, and it's almost like I'm there, underwater, swimming with the weirdos

  8. A.... 2....

    All my clothes in milk crates, I don't sleep for days
    Wait until the letter's red, until my bills get paid
    Ah, tell me, tell me, tell me
    When's it gonna change?
    Ah, tell me, tell me, tell me
    When's it gonna change?

    Every morning I feel more useless than before
    Trying hard to see the point in anything at all
    Oh, I've been trying
    I've been trying really hard
    Yeah, I've been trying
    I've been trying really hard

    Pull yourself together, pick myself apart
    Nothing lasts for never, so be still my bleeding heart
    Oh, I've been dreaming
    Dreaming of a brand new start
    Yeah, I've been dreaming
    Dreaming of a brand new start

    Oh, you have a great abundance of axes there to grind
    Remember some people have real problems next time you whine
    Oh, hang the washing
    Hang the washing on the line
    Yeah, hang the washing
    Hang the washing on the line
