about

The lead single from the album: The Broken Road Back Home.
(Radio Edit)

lyrics

So it looks as if the game is up
Find another way to fill your cup
We try to talk but it keeps breaking up
How many lifetimes will it take
How many hearts are bound to break
As we make the same mistakes again

Oh but it’s a broken road
Here beneath the fairytales we’re told
Just give me something that I can hold onto
Far above the rocks and clay
Hidden in the cracks of everyday
Tell me love will find its way on through
‘Cos when it’s gone
It’s just a broken road we’re on

Another blank upon the camera roll
Another truth-free TV show
Another billion pounds won’t save your soul

Well now’s the time we’ve got to get this right
It’s touch and go but I think we might
If we fumble for the light they stole

When there’s a mountain standing in the way
And you can’t believe a single word they say
We’ve got to stand for truth and justice anyway

Hey but it’s a broken road
Here beneath the fairytales we’re told
Just give me one thing that I can hold onto
Far above the rocks and clay
Hidden in the cracks of everyday
Tell me love will find its way on through
‘Cos when it’s gone
It’s just a broken road we’re on
