about

Breakdown is a Buzzcocks song, released in 1977.

lyrics

If I seem a little jittery I can't restrain myself
I'm falling into fancy fragments - can't contain myself
Now I can stand austerity but it gets a little much
When there's all these livid things that you never get to touch
I'm gonna breakdown, yeah

Feel my brain like porridge coming out of my ears
and I was expecting reverie
I've taken leave of my senses - and I'm in arrears
my legs buckle over - I'm living on my knees

Whatever makes me tick it takes away my concentration
Sets my hands a-trembling - gives me frustration
So I hear that two is company for me it's plenty trouble
though my double thoughts are clearer now that I am seeing double
I'm gonna breakdown, yeah

Oh mom can I grow out of what's too big for me
I'll give up that ghost before it gives up me
I wander loaded as a crowd, A nowhere wolf of pain
Living next to nothing, my nevermind remains
I'm gonna breakdown, yeah
