Kelly, Paul - Just About To Break Lyrics






Handle me with care
I'm the answer to your prayer
I, come from the great nowhere
Step back! Give me some air
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

I've been dreaming some
I'm a sleeping time bomb
When I wake it won't take long
I'll hit from here to kingdom come
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

They're gonna want to analyse me
Canonise and demonise me
Buy the rights and serialise me
Moralise and sermonise against me
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

I'm gonna rock your head
Start a burning in your bed
I'm making gold from lead
Multiplying fish and bread
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

My philosophy's eclectic
Things round here are gonna get hectic
There's no defence 'cause I got no tactics
I sing the body electric
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

The thunderstorm is just above
Every heart one day must cry enough
I'm heaven sent to spill my stuff
My heart, my heart is full of love
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

I'm just about to break

    @Tank Half Full Americana I know right!! Its just crazy i never caught a big enough wind of him sooner in my life. I swear some part of me knows i caught something but its one of those times in my lives where certain things flashed by. He has some major skills and worked with and worked for writing for some of the best from what read of him after i found him.

  5. L.... J....

    Love your music Paul. You span your lyrics and vibes across the space of time and place. Man, I wish the US would have paid you more heed when I was growing up. I was cheated of your genius when it would have been even more ingrained in my heart and mind. But Im glad I found your music. Thank you for sharing it with the world
