Boxer Rebellion, The - Broken Glass Lyrics






Unconscious in waves
Short sighted when you wake up
Given over to thieves
Deserted when you wont agree
Withered down to your shell
A brave face for your last farewell
And whatever you say
Subscribed to too much way too late

And I break apart
Broken Glass
Through my heart
We’ll toast
Convenient lies
When everyone
is occupied

You’re animated at ease
Anything for those you try to please
And I’m wearing thin
From what I cannot keep in

And I break apart
Broken Glass
Through my heart
We’ll toast
Convenient lies
When everyone
is occupied

You make up more than I can tell
Even someone that I know so well
Branding everything a cheap come down
The marked offender that fucks around
I get the message, the buckled knees
The voice of reason that I concede
The candidate in a losing race
Forced to blackmail to save some face
But I know

And I break apart
Broken Glass
Through my heart
We’ll toast
Convenient lies
An everyone
is occupied

    I literally stopped in my tracks when I first took notice of this song .. Such a beautiful beautiful song.. It's such a pleasure to know The Boxer Rebellion..

    C.... d....

    I love when a song does that :) Spitting Fire did that for me and then Diamonds just blew me away (as did the rest of their tracks - haven't found one I don't like yet)

  26. d.... ....

    They never cease to amaze me...every single song. Music is life :-)

  27. i.... ....

    No need to insult other bands to say this band is good. Good music is good music.

  28. J.... C....

    Why do you insult them by comparing them to Oasis, they are vastly superior to Oasis and as for Coldplay.....

  29. D.... D....

    Really a bunch of nice guys. There sound live is amazing.

  30. C.... V....

    I'm hopping to do the same when I see 'em this month at a bar in Guadalajara, Mexico :D!

    a beautiful song

  35. A.... ....

    @Blew612 Gash comment.

  36. D.... D....

    Had a couple driks with the lads after a show in LA. Best bunch of guys and wish them much success! They have a life long fan.

  37. A.... S....

    idk if this song is supposed to be sad, but it makes me happy lol :)


    the boxer rebillion is a mixture of oasis,radiohead,phoenix,editors and Coldplay :)

  38. T.... G....

    I've loved this band ever since hearing 'Spitting Fire', from a later album (and having seen them live @ The Fleece in Bristol) but how rare is it to hear earlier 'back-cat' material from a band that turns out to be as infectious and captivating as the more recent stuff you're used to hearing? These guys are the solution.

  39. I.... S....

    @KTlaxer045 try Rooney, maybe they would be ur type :)...every period has its excellent band and style of music, we can't force it., art form is suppsoed to be altered and developed as time goes by.

  40. I.... S....

    omg..I feel coldplay here..gosh...anyone feels me!!!! I love this band...not becoz I feel other bands in them...all becuz they're really awed!!

  41. M.... ....

    yes but it doesnt change the fact that they are good. too commercialized though..

  42. k.... ....

    I love this band' but what happened to REAL rock like AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, Kiss, Tom Petty, The Who, and so on. Most Rock bands are alternative rock. I miss the the Rock music that was about rocking out, partying, loud, and uplifting music that was just about around things like the song "sympathy for the Devil" or "Thunder Struck". The new kids of this generation are growing up to rap and teaching kids very bad things. We need to bring back the real rock of the 60's 70's 80's and 90's.

  43. L.... G....

    pleaseeee i seriously would like to know the exact lyrics of this song!! it's just amazing

  44. D.... W....

    No matter how much you may like this band, you won't know how good they really are until you see them live.

  45. K.... ....

    @Blew612 a copy

  46. K.... L....

    Tocan muy muy bien...
    Los conocí, bueno los ví x primera vez en la pelicula Amor a Distancia, y me encanto como tocaron en la peli...

  47. F.... ....

    spot on my friend!! spot on.

  48. F.... A....

    I think is more like Coldplay crashing with The Killers... then boom! This great band comes with really good and fresh music.

  49. b.... ....

    These guys are awesome!

  50. W.... ....

    new favorite band to love :)

  51. G.... ....

    They just finished a concert here in Toronto, Canada and they destroyed!!!...ahh, the sweet sounds of "The Boxer Rebellion" are still shaking my whole body (and soul)!!!...Muchas Gracias, Muchachos!!!

  52. a.... ....

    What more can I say, but........good video!

  53. i.... ....

    itunes doesnt have every single band you may have to use other means

  54. K.... M....

    Saw them in Newcastle loved them would defintely go agen awesome band I love them nd the music is awesome.

  55. C.... ....

    Top notch. Will get a ticket for Glasgow now and look forward to it big time.

  56. F.... C....
