Morning Is Broken Lyrics - Lloyd Cole

You used to be mean 

You used to be cruel 

But you were laughing then 

And it was no accident 

Where did the mean man go 

Is he chasing his shadow 

Is he unhappy to report 

That the gentleman he found is a terrible bore 

You know it all 

You've got all the answers 

But if that's the case 

What's with the long face 

It's very easy to be brave 

With your good foot in the grave 

It's very easy to be cold 

When there's no one in the world you want to know 

It's very easy to be suave 

When you're on your guard 

Like you always are 

The sun goes down and now the shadows arise 

And morning is broken as you mourn your life 

You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors 

You face up the mirror, mister pimp or whore 

Is it hard to let go 

At the foot of the rainbow 

Just to be informed 

That the chase was your reward 

Here have a crock of gold 

Keep it for when you're old 

Like a week on Tuesday 

Hey wise man say 

It's very easy to be brave 

With your good foot in the grave 

It's very easy to be cold 

When there's nowhere in the world you want to go 

It's very easy to be suave 

When you're on your guard 

Like you always are 

The sun goes down and now the shadows arise 

And morning is broken as you mourn your life 

You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors 

You face up the mirror, mister pimp or whore 

The sun goes down and now the shadows arise 

And morning is broken as you mourn your life 

You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors 

The morning is broken, mister pimp or whore 

Put me in the ground 

Put me in the ground 

Come on put me in the ground 

The morning is broken 

(The morning is broken as you mourn your life) 

Come on put me in the ground 

(The sun goes down and now the shadows arise) 

Come on come on put me in the ground 

(The morning is broken as you mourn your life) 

The morning is broken 

The sun goes down and now the shadows arise 

And morning is broken as you mourn your life
