I Broke Up (SJ) Lyrics

It was not posed
It messed me up
It was her recording herself whisper
"What is it worth to me"
Thinking one thought
The advice to be okay
Break into children's hospital crying out

"Don't fuck with me, don't fuck with me!"

And I broke up
Without a note
And I broke up
Behind your house
And I broke up

It's a mess
Go go go go away from here
Food color poured out over her shorts mixed with
I will make a gate you cannot pass
Taped to their loin cloth
A sign that says "WHY US!?"
Flip yourself off but say "erase it"
When someone sees you

This is the worst vacation ever!
I am going to cut open your forehead
with a roofing shingle!

And I broke up
Without a note
And I broke up
Behind your house
And I broke up.

this song makes me feel like i'm in a mental institution.. i can't tell if i love it or hate it.

what's interesting about this song is that the worlds don't really make sense themselves, but together and with the music you get this urgent vibe of breaking down. the guy is defeated, crumpling, it's a cry for help.

I think it's "I'll make a gate you cannont pass," not cake.

Kick ass song though

I think it's cake :) and "Penguins in a dress" as opposed to engines are a mess. But I hear what I want to... Discovered these guys...who knows exactly where, but they have provided satiation in the "insane-gothic experimental death-ballad" category of my record collection. God bless inaudible background sreaming.

you're my hero, yeff.

my favorite of the three xiu xiu songs i could find on kazaa (the others being poe poe and hives hives), though I don't like it as much as sad pony guerrila girl or the cover of tracy chapman's fast car.

I've listened to this song atleast twice a day in the last week.

I'm am absolutely in love with the song. One of Xiu Xiu's best. It's pretty self explanatory, it's obviously about a complete mental breakdown.

love this song. i especially dig the line...

"Food color poured out over her shorts mixed with I will make a gate you cannot pass "

the acoustic/live version on the new cd "Life and Live" is really awesome and reopened my mind to this song.

this song is one of my favourite xiu xiu songs.

it displays a fine ability to express oneself verbally.

how promising is that.
