about

The Blades announce the release of their new single 'You've A Broken Heart'.
Written by the band's renowned songwriter Paul Cleary, the track is a melodic slow-burner featuring a plaintive muted-trumpet
intro leading to a memorable brass riff redolent of Dexy's Midnight Runners at their best.
One of Paul's best vocals to date, this ostensibly sad but ultimately uplifting number is sure to be a radio-friendly success.

lyrics

YOU'VE A BROKEN HEART

STILL THE WORLD SPINS 'ROUND

NEVER STOPPING TO ASK HOW YOU FEEL

SO YOU TRY TO CONCEAL THE COLOUR IN THE WORLD HAS TURNED TO GREY

YOU'VE A BROKEN HEART TODAY

SO YOU TOSS AND TURN

THROUGH A SLEEPLESS NIGHT

AND YOU CAN'T SEEM TO WALK OUT THE DOOR

LIFE GOES ON BUT WHAT'S IT FOR

NOW THERE'S LITTLE ELSE FOR YOU TO SAY

YOU'VE A BROKEN HEART TODAY

AND THOUGH IT'S COLD AND DARK AS CLOUDS DESCEND

SOMEDAY THE SUN WILL SHINE AGAIN

AND THROUGH THE PAIN YOUR STRENGTH WILL TAKE YOU HOME

SO DON'T GIVE UP

YOU'RE NOT ALONE

I've been a fan of 5GDTTS from over the other side of the world ever since those original EPs came out, so this release really made my week. In particular, Blue Moon is just superb. Now, another release featuring the rest of the Fanning sessions and some live tracks would really help cement their legacy. :-) Arctinurus
