| With the money from her accident
|
| She bought herself a mobile home
|
| So at least she could get some enjoyment
|
| Out of being alone
|
| No one could say that she was left up on the shelf
|
| It’s you and me against the World kid, she mumbled to herself
|
| When the World falls apart some things stay in place
|
| Levi Stubbs' tears run down his face
|
| She ran away from home in her mother’s best coat
|
| She was married before she was even entitled to vote
|
| And her husband is one of those blokes
|
| The sort who only laughes at his own jokes
|
| The sort a war takes away
|
| And when there wasn’t a war, he left anyway
|
| When the World falls apart some things stay in place
|
| Levi Stubbs' tears run down his face
|
| Norman Whitfild and Barratt Strong
|
| Are here to make right everything that’s wrong
|
| Holland and Holland and Lamont Dosier too
|
| Are here to make it all okay with you
|
| One dark night he came home from the sea
|
| And put a hole in her body where no hole should be It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
|
| And though they stitched her back together
|
| They left her heart in pieces on the floor
|
| When the World falls apart some things stay in place
|
| She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case
|
| When the World falls apart some things stay in place
|
| Levi Stubbs' tears… |
