lyrics

I tore my life on a barbed wire fence
I stitched it up with some commonsense
Now I’m looking at life through a broken
lens, my friend
I’ve tumbled down stairs
I’ve broke some bones
I spent a lot of time in an armchair throne
But this mess is mine, and it’s mine I own

Break my heart, bless my soul
I’m packing my bags, ain’t paying this loan
I guess I ain’t lucky
Guess I’m still blue
But I ain’t taking this shit from the likes of you

Oh Minimum Wage University
I’m stacking those shelves till I could not see
What’s robbing my life of its urgency
Been a cold calling monkey in a battery hen cage
I’ve spent my life on a retail stage
But this mess is mine, and it’s mine I’ve made

Break my heart, bless my soul
I'm packing my bags, ain’t paying this loan
I guess I ain’t lucky
Guess I’m still blue
But I ain’t taking this shit from the likes of you

Well let the clouds roll in
Let the rain fall down
Let the dam burst open
Let the whole town drown
Let the coffins crack open
And the bones spill out

Tell mamma and papa
‘Don’t you worry ’bout me’
Some things in life weren’t meant to be
Some things in life weren’t meant for me

Break my heart, bless my soul
I'm packing my bags, ain’t paying this loan
I guess I ain’t lucky
Guess I’m still blue
But I ain’t taking this shit from the likes of you

The Wedded Bliss is a labour of love for Randall Blair, Matt Nightingale and Lachlan Coventry.

They are a band that that will have you tapping your toes, singing along to their catchy country swing tunes.
