We Smash Plates Songtext
von Absentee

With the first plate you dropped was your dignity
Then the second was hope
Well, I hope I′m wrong
And the third plate you dropped was just show
Then the fourth was thrown
From your throne

And so I ask you what can I do
To make you stop
And I bite my lip and wonder how you made
Such a meal out of washing up
'Cause I didn′t want to take you home
But you wouldn't have gone alone


Well, the first time I broke was just charity
And the second was close
Well, close enough
And the third plate I smashed made you laugh at last
For that I'll break the cast

And so I ask you kindly
To take a seat
While I′m sweeping broken china
From around your feet
Well, I′m like a miner bringing riches
From the coal
And with or without knowing there will always be more
'Cause I didn′t want to take you home
But you wouldn't have gone alone

That first night we spent fixing broken things
Was gluing our hands
Together again
And that first night stands as a rope that fell
For cleaning up
After itself


′Cause I didn't want to take you home
But you wouldn′t have gone alone
