Breck Road Lover Lyrics
I, I know a girl
And she flies
Right off the handle
At the sound
Of scratching on the wall
Well it could go either way
But I don't mind at all
Cause I'll go, I'll go
And I'll go to Liverpool, Oh oh oh
Well I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And walk the streets where
She gets her name
Oh my lady
My lady clear your ears now
And open up your eyes
We're all out of sync now
And we no longer harmonise
And if lust and despair
Are two bullets in the same gun
Well we've been playing Russian roulette
For far too long
So I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
Well I'll go back to Liverpool, oh oh oh
Well I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And walk the streets where
She gets her name
Yes, often as we lie
On the altar of the morning
Well I call up to the sky
Light my way, and I promise I'll believe
I'll go
I'll go, I know I'll go to Liverpool
Well I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And walk the streets where
She gets her name
You see I, I know a girl
And she flies
Right off the handle
Always at the sound
Of scratchings on the wall
It could go either way
But I don't mind at all
Cause I'll go, no I'll go, I'll go
Well, I'll go back to Liverpool, oh oh oh
Yes I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And we walk the streets where
She gets her name
We walk the streets where
She gets her name
And she flies
Right off the handle
At the sound
Of scratching on the wall
Well it could go either way
But I don't mind at all
Cause I'll go, I'll go
And I'll go to Liverpool, Oh oh oh
Well I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And walk the streets where
She gets her name
My lady clear your ears now
And open up your eyes
We're all out of sync now
And we no longer harmonise
Are two bullets in the same gun
Well we've been playing Russian roulette
For far too long
Well I'll go back to Liverpool, oh oh oh
Well I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And walk the streets where
She gets her name
On the altar of the morning
Well I call up to the sky
Light my way, and I promise I'll believe
I'll go, I know I'll go to Liverpool
Well I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And walk the streets where
She gets her name
And she flies
Right off the handle
Always at the sound
Of scratchings on the wall
It could go either way
But I don't mind at all
Well, I'll go back to Liverpool, oh oh oh
Yes I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And we walk the streets where
She gets her name
We walk the streets where
She gets her name

And if lust and despair Are two bullets in the same gun Well we've been playing Russian roulette For far too long

i live there haha
yh pete lived when he was a kid
Pete didn't live in Liverpool. If you read his mum's book she says Pete's nan lived in Liverpool, on Breck Road. When Pete was about 12-13 he met a girl who also lived on Breck Road when he visited his nan's. You may think I'm bull-shitting but buy the book and see for yourself!
This song's about Carl being a woman.
