breaking down the walls of heartache

Dexys Midnight Runners

Like a madman I m up in the morning
Headin for the walls of heartache
Working everyday, bringing home a the pail of heartbreak

You look down and the walls are higher*
They are built from the tears you re cryin
Oh, I got to bring it back
I m workin til the day I m dyin (oh, yeah!)

Breakin down the walls of heartache, baby
I m a carpenter of love and affection!
Breaking down the walls of heartache, baby
Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears
And build you up a house of love

Yeah!
Breakin down the walls of heartache, baby
Shakin down the walls of heartache!
Shakin down the walls of heartache!

Brick by brick, I m tearin them down!
Yeah, lonely night, my name is given (?)
Chip-chippin at the walls of heartache
Callin out your name
Go with a pail of heartbreak
And the faces there before me
Writing on and no tomorrow?
Your letter of goodbye
Is written on the walls of the heartache
Oh yeah!

Breakin down the walls of heartache, baby
I m a carpenter of love and affection
Breakin down the walls of heartache, baby
Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears
And build you up a house of love
Yeah!

Breakin down the walls of heartache, baby. (Yeah yeah!)
Shakin down the walls of heartache!
Shakin down the walls of heartache!
Shakin down the walls of heartache!

Tearin them down
Tearin them down
Watch me baby!
I m a carpenter!
A carpenter of love!
Love and affection!
Brick by brick, tearing them down!
