Van Morrison - Broken Record Lyrics






Baby, stall the gate for me
Take me, lift me out of my misery
Lift my spirit up, and set me free

When things are driving me insane
Let me hear that same rhythm ring
Over and over and over
And over and over and over and over again

Take it to the break
Don't make any mistake
For goodness sake
Have to stay awake

Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record

Take it to the break
Make no mistake
Stay awake
Whatever it takes

Broken record, broken record, broken record...

    Sir Van, you make this ole Kentucky boy smile again. At 67 years, I’ve been with you through many of life’s ups and downs, and all I can say is “Thank You” from the bottom of my heart. Keep on keeping on, not to sound too corny, but you have been with me through many of life’s challenges, and I thank you brother! Lets hope that we can do this for many more years! If you’re ever in Western Kentucky (1.5 hours from Louisville) let me know on your website and we’ll burn some good ole Kentucky bluegrass. Again, thank you!

    Oh! This is Morrison's Heathrow Shuffle.. shuffled with new lyrics and a new break. Van's been doing this in different ways since 1975, I think.

    Will er uns jetzt Heathrow Shuffle als neue Nummer verkaufen ? Langsam wiederholt er sich....

    The song's called 'Broken Record', so he duly uses a recycled riff. This record's a return to jazz forms, so to me he's saying "here's a familiar 'head' (from H.S. - from the jazz record with Georgie Fame) to kick things off and to show my intention on this album".

    He frequently 'recycles' lyrical ideas and musical phrases, and often specifically references his existing songs. See Celtic Swing, Celtic New Year, Caledonian Swing, etc., the Going Down To ... series of tunes, Meet Me In That Indian Summer (2002) followed by Celtic New Year's "I want to see you in that Indian summer" lyric (2005), to take just a few examples. I see this as self-referential, reflective writing and I would simply call it honest. (I just realised Start All Over Again from this new record is quite reminiscent of the groove of Close Enough For Jazz as well! I suppose it's in the eye of the beholder what is 'lazy retreading' and what is 'inspired self-reference'.)

    The last thing I would say is that he's trying to hawk old ideas without people noticing: rather, I'd like to think he would appreciate people getting the cross references and listening intently to his output, especially in his more recent work, and that he's putting these things in for the careful listener and to amuse or entertain himself. I personally think his latest run of records is glorious and a return to the creativity of the early 2000s albums (Down The Road, Magic Time, etc.) after the Duets album and redo of Astral Weeks, etc., but to each their own.

  15. L.... I....
