Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken? Lyrics - Lloyd Cole

Looking like a born again 

Living like a heretic 

Listening to arthur lee records 

Making all your friends feel so guilty 

About their cynicism 

And the rest of their generation 

Not even the government are gonna stop you now 

But are you ready to be heartbroken? 

Are you ready to be heartbroken? 

Pumped up full of vitamins 

On account of all the seriousness 

You say you're so happy now 

You can hardly stand 

Lean over on the bookcase 

If you really want to get straight 

Read norman mailer 

Or get a new tailor 

Are you ready to be heartbroken? 

Are you ready to be heartbroken? 

Are you ready to bleed? 

What would it take 

What would it take to wipe that smile off of your face? 

Are you ready to be, are you ready to bleed? 

Are you ready to be heartbroken? 

Are you ready to bleed? (heartbroken) 

Well you better get ready now baby 

Are you ready to bleed? , ready to bleed?
