about

Henry Wagons, renowned “professor of song” and Australian-Americana pioneer, offers his compelling take on a Bob Dylan treatise that perfectly sums up the wild frustration of the shattered situation we find ourselves, in the midst of a slow vaccine rollout and the languishing state of the entertainment industry. Though this song was originally written decades ago, Bob’s words remain startlingly relevant, prickly and against all odds... strangely hilarious.

lyrics

Broken lines, broken strings,
Broken threads, broken springs,
Broken idols, broken heads,
People sleeping in broken beds
Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use joking
Everything is broken

Broken bottles, broken plates,
Broken switches, broken gates,
Broken dishes, broken parts,
Streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken,
Everything is broken
Seem like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground

Broken cutters, broken saws,
Broken buckles, broken laws,
Broken bodies, broken bones,
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face

Broken hands on broken ploughs,
Broken treaties, broken vows,
Broken pipes, broken tools,
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bullfrog croaking,
Everything is broken

This album. One of only a handful that I could put on and immediately be transported. Marlon's voice conveys the beauty and misery in a way that isn't encountered often - and impossible to duplicate. Most excellent. iamgbow
