lyrics

Verse 1
Oh Mr Painter, would you paint my portrait?
Ain't got no money, would you do it for the love of it?
Oh Mr Painter, you must be living the dream,
Making pretty picture for the world to see

Oh Miss Teacher, would you learn my children?
They need to read and write, would you do it just for the fun?
Oh Miss Teacher you must be living the dream,
It must be easy just show them on the screen

Pre-Chorus 1
So if you want quality,
Why do you expect it all for free?
A favour is a mighty thing to ask
Of someone you don't know yeah

Chorus 1
And we're bending backwards
We're bending backwards
We're bending backwards
We're bending backwards
Why you wanna break me?

Verse 2
Oh Mr Builder, would you build me a house?
We need somewhere to live big enough for all of us,
Oh Mr Builder you must be living the dream,
Knowing that your day is done when your hands are clean

Oh Shopkeeper would you feed my family?
It's your responsibility when we all get hungry
Oh Shopkeeper are you living the dream?
Doing what you love without a day between

Pre-Chorus 2
But if you want quality,
Why do you expect it all for free?
A favour is a mighty thing to ask
Of someone you don't know yeah

Chorus 2
And we're bending backwards
We're bending backwards
We're bending backwards
We're bending backwards
Why you wanna break me?

Middle 8
Cos we're used up, bending to breaking point
Sho nuff, can't share the cup til it's filled up
I don't know why you don't value the beat of my heart
Cos we're used up, bending to breaking point
Sho nuff, can't share the cup til it's filled up
I don't know why you don't value the beat of my heart

Chorus 3
We're bending backwards (bending backwards)
We're bending backwards (bending backwards)
We're bending backwards (bending backwards)
We're bending backwards
Why you wanna break me?

about

April Blue image

April Blue England, UK

April Blue's songs of life, lust and loneliness spring from a bed of brooding electronic soundscapes. Frontman Ozz LP's soulful vocals drive the music, guided by the sultry grooves of the band, who masterfully walk the line between laid back sleaze and gritty Rock. Their original sound has earned them recognition as 'Best Pop Artist' at the NMG awards and backing from BBC Introducing. ... more
