Nail It Back Together Lyrics

Singing Loins Nail It Back Together

Nail it back together
To keep out the weather.
Cos it got broke again,
This old heart again.

But I've got a big old box
Down in the cellar,
Where I keep all my stuff
For patching it up.
I've got rivets and rags,
I've got hooks and cement,
I've got leather and glue
And a rusty old screw.

Pull on a clean white shirt,
Drag myself back to work,
Looking good as new.
No-one will know.
It doesn't show,
Does it?

Hammer it back together
To keep out the weather.
I got careless again,
With this old heart again.

But I've got a big old box
Down in the cellar,
Where I keep all my stuff
For bodging it up.
I've got canvas and tar,
I've got cat gut and wire.
Mud, sticks & stones
And some needles of bone.

Pull on a clean white shirt,
Drag myself back to work,
Looking good as new.
No-one will know.
It doesn't show,
Does it?
I got screwed up newspaper
for packing the holes,
Polystyrene & sandbags
& lead that I stole.

Pull on a big warm coat,
Drag myself down the road.
Smiling at you.
No-one will ever know.
It doesn't show,
Does it?
