Anything Nice Songtext
von The Tripwires

You can′t keep anything nice around here
The dust gets in the cracks and gears
It stops the motor dead
The troubleshooter said
It won't come on again

I don′t go out early on Black Friday
I never jump the line
What do you get the man who has
Every reason to blank his mind
Banana days hold no favor
I throw the coupons out
She says even back on the day we walked in
She had her doubts on it

And you can't keep anything nice around here
The dust gets in the cracks and gears
It stops the motor dead
The troubleshooter said
It won't come on again


I′ve tried all kinds of waxes and cleaners
Those nagging stains won′t lift
Soaked and treated every inch
Well, here's where the problem is
What if

You can′t keep anything nice around here
The dust gets in the cracks and gears
It stops the motor dead
The troubleshooter said
It won't come on again

My clothes aren′t coming clean
My leaves aren't staying green
I′d like to pull up stakes
But who has the energy
It can reach the corners now
It's got it worse somehow
If I let go then I'm free
Then the tide will carry me
Then you′ll see
