Just About to Break

Paul Kelly

Handle me with care
I'm the answer to your prayer
I, come from the great nowhere
Step back! Give me some air
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

I've been dreaming some
I'm a sleeping time bomb
When I wake it won't take long
I'll hit from here to kingdom come
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

They're gonna want to analyse me
Canonise and demonise me
Buy the rights and serialise me
Moralise and sermonise against me
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

I'm gonna rock your head
Start a burning in your bed
I'm making gold from lead
Multiplying fish and bread
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

My philosophy's eclectic
Things round here are gonna get hectic
There's no defence 'cause I got no tactics
I sing the body electric
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

The thunderstorm is just above
Every heart one day must cry enough
I'm heaven sent to spill my stuff
My heart, my heart is full of love
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

I'm just about to break
