Sparks - Screwed Up lyrics
[Sparks - Screwed Up lyrics]
In 1900 you held hands and
Felt like you'd scored
In 1910 you'd never need a horse anymore
In 1920 you could dance
In 1930 lose your pants
In 1940 you could go to war really soon
In 1950 you could just be dull and a bore
In 1960 set the world on fire
That was then, this is now
And nothing's blowin' in the wind
Screwed up, that's the problem
You're going down, down, down, down, down
Screwed up, that's your problem
You're coming unwound wound, wound, wound
You're wasting time seeking comfort
From any sight or any sound
I knew you when you weren't a bit screwed up
Now what you got is spreading around
It really doesn't matter if you
Know how to sing
The only thing that matters is
The girl that you bring
So when I saw you sitting there
Just asking for some curly hair
I knew that I was getting
Where I wanted to be
But someone must have warned you
So it's Anchors Aweigh
This Johnny's marching home again tonight
You couldn't leave quietly
You had to tell the world and loud
Screwed up, that's the problem
You're going down, down, down, down, down
Screwed up, that's your problem
You're coming unwound wound, wound, wound
You're wasting time seeking comfort
By having anyone around
I knew you when you weren't a bit screwed up
Now what you got is spreading around
I'm getting on my nerves I'm
Getting on my nerves and
Everything you're throwing at me's
Coming up a curve swing and miss
Swing and miss
Swing and miss and then you're out
Screwed up, that's the problem
You're going down, down, down, down, down
Screwed up, that's your problem
You're coming unwound wound, wound, wound
You're wasting time seeking comfort
By having anyone around
I knew you when you weren't a bit screwed up
Now what you got is spreading around
Felt like you'd scored
In 1910 you'd never need a horse anymore
In 1920 you could dance
In 1930 lose your pants
In 1940 you could go to war really soon
In 1950 you could just be dull and a bore
In 1960 set the world on fire
That was then, this is now
And nothing's blowin' in the wind
Screwed up, that's the problem
You're going down, down, down, down, down
Screwed up, that's your problem
You're coming unwound wound, wound, wound
You're wasting time seeking comfort
From any sight or any sound
I knew you when you weren't a bit screwed up
Now what you got is spreading around
It really doesn't matter if you
Know how to sing
The only thing that matters is
The girl that you bring
So when I saw you sitting there
Just asking for some curly hair
I knew that I was getting
Where I wanted to be
But someone must have warned you
So it's Anchors Aweigh
This Johnny's marching home again tonight
You couldn't leave quietly
You had to tell the world and loud
Screwed up, that's the problem
You're going down, down, down, down, down
Screwed up, that's your problem
You're coming unwound wound, wound, wound
You're wasting time seeking comfort
By having anyone around
I knew you when you weren't a bit screwed up
Now what you got is spreading around
I'm getting on my nerves I'm
Getting on my nerves and
Everything you're throwing at me's
Coming up a curve swing and miss
Swing and miss
Swing and miss and then you're out
Screwed up, that's the problem
You're going down, down, down, down, down
Screwed up, that's your problem
You're coming unwound wound, wound, wound
You're wasting time seeking comfort
By having anyone around
I knew you when you weren't a bit screwed up
Now what you got is spreading around
