Placebo - Broken Promise lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

I've been totally re-strung

I'm in tune and I'm in love

I'm a piano that's made out of fruit

I'm the frog she chose to kiss

Perhaps not a handsome prince

There is nothing I feel I've got to prove

If I fall in love again it could be the last time

If I fall in love again will I repeat

The mistakes that I made

And then make them again like a creep

This could be the last time

This could be the last time for me

If it's happiness you crave

Won't you look at me today

I'm smiling like the cat with all the cream

There's a swagger in my walk

A grade “Aâ€Â in my report

I'm the salmon who made it back up stream

I'm a slightly chipped antique

In a market going cheap

That someday will be worth a thousand pounds

I've shed the walls of my cocoon

Normal service has resumed

There's no need to paint

A face on this clown
