This song has been calling me recently. This is one of the better live performances I’ve found of it. Also, it has a great key change.
You’ve got to pick up the pieces
C’mon, sort your trash
You better pull yourself back together
Maybe you’ve got too much cashBetter call, call the law
When you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah
You’re a politician
Don’t become one of Hitler’s childrenBonzo goes to Bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the piecesMy brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
Ooh yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
And I need something to slow me downShouldn’t wish you happiness
Wish her the very best
Fifty thousand dollar dress
Shaking hands with your highnessSee through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain
But you do it anyway
Who am I, am I to sayBonzo goes to Bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the piecesMy brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
Ooh yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
And I need something to slow me downIf there’s one thing that makes me sick
It’s when someone tries to hide behind politics
I wish that time could go by fast
Somehow they manage to make it lastOoh yeah, yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
Ooh yeah, yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
And I need something to slow me downOoh yeah, yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
And I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down
