Cole, Lloyd - Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken? Lyrics






Looking like a born again
Living like a heretic
Listening to Arthur Lee records
Making all your friends feel so guilty
About their cynicism
And the rest of their generation
Not even the government are going to stop you now

But are you ready to be heartbroken?
Are you ready to be heartbroken?

Pumped up full of vitamins
On account of all the seriousness
You say you're so happy now
You can hardly stand
Lean over on the bookcase
If you really want to get straight
Read Norman Mailer
Or get a new tailor

Are you ready to be heartbroken?
Are you ready to be heartbroken?
Are you ready to bleed?

What would it take
What would it take to wipe that smile off of your face?
Are you ready to be...
Are you ready to bleed?

    Lloyd coles songs really bring me back in time. It really captures a certain time and feelings related to that time in history. British music always has that power, its really magical and along with the music great voices with great spiritual essence.

    Looking like a born again
    Living like a heretic
    Listening to arthur lee records
    Making all your friends feel so guilty
    About their cynicism
    And the rest of their generation
    Not even the government are gonna stop you now
    But are you ready to be heartbroken?
    Are you ready to be heartbroken?

    Pumped up full of vitamins
    On account of all the seriousness
    You say you're so happy now
    You can hardly stand

    Are you ready to be heartbroken?
    Are you ready to be heartbroken?
    Are you ready to bleed?

    What would it take
    What would it take to wipe that smile off of your face?
    Are you ready to be, are you ready to bleed?

    Are you ready to be heartbroken?
    Are you ready to bleed? (heartbroken)
    Well you better get ready now baby
