Heartbreaking World Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Holland) 

The saddest thing I've ever seen 

Was a starving face on my TV screen 

The desperate face that I saw 

Had my disbelief hanging from my jaw 

Our harvest could be shared around 

Instead it's buried in the ground 

The saddest thing I've ever seen 

Was a football fan dying for his team 

The toughest thing I have ever known 

Was a soldier boy who never made it home 

It's fiction live before our eyes 

It leaves me cold and my heart cries

The greatest thing I've ever seen 

Was a newborn child looking up at me 

The greatest sound I've ever heard 

Was a baby's cry in this wicked world 

The innocence of that cry 

Leaves me cold and my heart cries

It's a heartbreaking world if you want it to be 

It's a heartbreaking world if you want it to be 

It's a heartbreaking world if you want it to be 

And you're the one that breaks it for me
