Big Wreck - Come What May Lyrics






Break off a little piece of happiness
No body gets hurt more or less
Whatever it takes to get you through
The night is gonna have to do

Under the weight of daily bread
You'd rather wake to cake instead
Would you believe a photograph
Was all it took and all that's left
Of missing pieces

I throw myself in the river
I need to wash my head and float away
'Cause I know that I'll be delivered
Everything cast adrift
Come what may

I'm fed up with the pace of saving face
I'm squeezing what I can't replace
Fiddled with the fire 'til I got burned
With all I've lost you'd think I'd learned
By missing pieces

I throw myself in the river
I need to wash my head and float away
'Cause I know that I'll be delivered
Everything cast adrift
Come what may

I throw myself in the river
I need to wash my head and float away
'Cause I know that I'll be delivered
Everything cast adrift
Come what may

I gotta throw myself in the river
I need to wash my head and float away
Because they told me that I'll be delivered
Everything cast adrift
Come what may

  4. G.... Z....

    Ian reminds of Chris Cornell or Robert Downey Jr.

  5. A.... ....

    I enjoyed Big Wreck's music in the 90's, and kind of lost track of them after that. Recently rediscovered them and all the great music they have made since then. What an amazing band, highly underrated. Hoping they come to New England the next time they tour.

  6. T.... M....

    Love the drummers snare!

  7. G.... P....

    how in the fuck can 7 people unlike this song????

    G.... P....

    ... and why aren't 700,000 liking it. There are some totally whacked groups out there with massive followings, and yet, Big Wreck, one of the best around, is a hidden gem.

  8. P.... G....

    These guys are playing a FREE concert in peterborough Ontario Wednesday July 18 2018 7pm. Peterborough Musicfest

  9. S.... R....

    Always break out into air symbols with this song !!!

  17. D.... B....

    Great Job guys!

  18. B.... ....

    This has to be my favourite Big Wreck song. So catchy, so unique.

  19. p.... ....

    Big Wreck is a must for any music lover. This band needs the recognition they deserve. Have a listen to ANYof their music...Ian and the band are soo strong and musically inclined, it's rediculous!!

  20. M.... P....

    I tought that i heard the voice of Chris Cornell...

  21. M.... P....

    Grande sound...ricorda però a un mix tra Police e Soundgarden...

  22. l.... ....

    Why is this not part of the set? I understand that there are only so many that you can play but this deserves to be one of them.

  23. D.... ....

    So who's channel is this? Big Wreck's or a fan's? Just wondering who I would be responding to? Btw I went to the London gig on October 9 and was surprised at the tunes he played off the new album and the crowd response to it was dull. It was like I was the only one singing along. Ian's voice should dominate the music! So tell your sound guy's to turn it up.I Bought a rock shirt!as always! Ghosts is a awesome album! Good job guy's!

    D.... ....

    This is Big Wreck's official channel

    D.... ....

    Come talk about it! The band visits.

  24. D.... M....

    Aw yiss. 9th Chords...

  25. Z.... Z....

    Albatross as an album I didn't like. ILMO however was just...amazing. Im either or about the self titled song "Ghosts", but this seems alright. Ian is great

    Z.... Z....

    i only liked 1 song after 1 playthrough on the new album. and it was barely. but after 4-10 playthroughs, i love 6 songs. hey mama, friends, come what may, war baby, my life. and the ghosts guitar solo made me cry.

  26. G.... J....

    The new album is way to pop rock sounding. All made for radio songs like Thornley was.

    G.... J....

    You must be kidding, aren't you?

    G.... J....

    if it was for radio, 8 out of 13 songs would not be over 5 minutes... it was made with total disregard for radio. Unfortunate actually... they are a top 10 rock band in my books. I love every Thornley and Big Wreak Album.... they deserve much more commercial success - they are not promoted well.

    G.... J....

    Hardly.
    There's great musicianship, not ghost players, NO autotune, and great songs.
    All the sings you do NOT find on radio nowadays.

    G.... J....

    You got to be kidding me... I've only found a few of these songs on the radio; rock stations, and they are definitely not pop rock...

    G.... J....

    must suck being so wrong about something.

  27. K.... ....

    2:04,  the best vocal harmonies I have ever heard on a big wreck recording.  What a band.  I will see you anytime you come to Vancouver.  Love everything you guys do, and love all that you have done! 

  28. B.... B....

    Another great rockin track off a brilliant album "Ghosts".See them live and you will be begging for more!

  29. e.... b....

    vocal vocal vocal!!! , great track Ian!!
