Breakin' 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!
