Songtexte Home and Broken Hearted (Live) - Cold Chisel

Song called "Home and Broken Hearted"

Hiked up from Sydney in the week before Christmas
It was 38 degrees in the shade
I bought a second-hand Morris for a cheap two-twenty
And drove it down to Adelaide
She boiled for an hour 20 miles out of Euston
I thought that heat would never end
I knew I'd be home for Christmas with my Sandy
And a few extra dollars to spend

Home and broken-hearted
I've been pasted to the telephone
And Boxing Day break was wasted sitting here on my own
The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this afternoon
On the radio it's New Year's Eve
What a low-down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave

Drove it to the buyer just as fast as I could go
I was talking to his teenage son
I sure hope it lasted for the poor little bastard
Least until he'd had some fun
Caught a taxi home with great anticipation
Thinkin' all you got to do is try
And there's a note propped up against the dressing table mirror
"Jimmy, it's over, goodbye!"

I'm home and broken-hearted
I've been pasted to the telephone
And Boxing Day break was wasted sitting here on my own
The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this afternoon
On the radio it's New Year's Eve
What a low-down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave
Yeah, don't leave me baby, ow!

Went to a party, tried to drink myself happy
Steaks were washed away in the rain
Finished up in bed with an old acquaintance
She'll never be my friend again
And everyone was asking me where's the little woman
Drove home before the rain could stop
And I've been sitting for days reading pre-Christmas papers
With my heels on the table-top

I'm home and broken-hearted
Well, I've been pasted to the telephone
Boxing Day break was wasted sitting here on my own
The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this afternoon
On the radio it's New Year's Eve
What a low-down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave
Yeah, well, don't leave me baby

Thank you
Okay, yeah
In case you didn't know it, the show is starting to get into the latter stages
So we think it's about time we brought in some more rock'n'roll
Here's a fairly new one, we've done it once, last week
And I, ah, just remembered the words then, so we'll see how we go tonight
