With the money from her accident
She bought herself a mobile home
So at least she could get some enjoyment
Out of being alone
No one could say that she was left up on the shelf
It's you and me against the world kid she mumbled to herself
Chorus:
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi stubbs' tears run down his face
She ran away from home with her mother's best coat
She was married before she was even entitled to vote
And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
The sort that war takes away
And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway
Norman whitfield and barratt strong
Are here to make everything right that's wrong
Holland and holland and lamont dozier too
Are here to make it all okay with you
One dark night he came home from the sea
And put a hole in her body where no hole should be
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
And though they stitched her back together they left her heart in pieces on the
Floor
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
She takes off the four tops tape and puts it back in it's case
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi stubbs' tears...
Billy Bragg è un cantautore, chitarrista e attivista britannico nato a Barking, Essex, nel 1957. La sua musica combina elementi folk, punk e soul con tematiche politiche e sociali nei testi, assimilabile alla tradizione della canzone di protesta. Bragg ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '80, influenzato da artisti come Woody Guthrie e Bob Dylan. Il suo stile diretto e le sue canzoni incisive hanno conquistato un pubblico ampio e lo hanno consacrato come uno dei più importanti cantautori britannici. Tra i suoi album più noti figurano "Brewing Up a Storm" (1986), "Talking with the Taxman About Poetry" (1989) e "Mermaid Avenue" (1998), realizzato in collaborazione con Wilco e Ralph Stanley, che rivisita le canzoni inedite di Woody Guthrie. Bragg è anche un attivista politico impegnato nella lotta per i diritti dei lavoratori e contro l'ingiustizia sociale. La sua musica ha sempre riflettuto la sua visione del mondo e il suo impegno civile.
