15 Mar 1989 OH MERCY THE BEST OF BOB DYLAN THE ESSENTIAL BOB DYLAN DYLAN 2007 EVERYTHING IS BROKEN (CD single) ROCK & FOLK LE SAMPLER (CD single)

Oh Mercy session 6, The Studio, New Orleans LA - 15.mar.1989, album version Broken lines, broken strings Broken threads, broken springs Broken idols, broken heads People sleepin' in broken beds Ain't no use jivin' Ain't no use jokin' Everything is broken. Broken bottles, broken plates Broken switches, broken gates Broken dishes, broken parts Streets are filled with broken hearts Broken words never meant to be spoken Everything is broken. Seem like everytime you stop an' turn around Someone else just hit the ground. Broken cutters, broken saws Broken buckles, broken laws Broken bodies, broken bones Broken voices on broken phones Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin' Everything is broken. Everytime you leave and go off someplace Things fall to pieces in my face. Broken hands on broken plows Broken treaties, broken vows Broken pipes, broken tools People bendin' broken rules Hounddog howlin', bull frog croakin' Everything is broken.

Oh Mercy session 6, The Studio, New Orleans LA - 15.mar.1989 BS-8 version Broken nights, broken days Broken leaves on broken trees Broken treaties, broken vows Broken hands on broken ploughs. Ain't no use runnin', honey Ain't no use jokin' Nothin's workin' Everything's broken. Broken lives hangin' by a thread Broken bones in a broken bed Broken mirror, broken chair Broken roads goin' nowhere Broken words never meant to be spoken Can't help it honey Everything's broken. I sent you roses once from a heart that was truely grieved Sent you roses someone else must have received. Broken clock on a broken wall Broken voices in a broken hall Broken beginnings, broken ends Streets are filled with broken friends Take a deep breath, baby, feel like you're chokin' Tell me the truth now Everything's broken. Seen James Dean in a picture once, comin' in from the cold, Said, "Geez I hope to look that good, if I get to be that old." Broken plants on a broken floor Broken key for a broken door Broken idols, broken heroes Broken numbers adding up the zeroes Hound dogs howlin', bull frogs croakin' It ain't easy, baby Everything's broken.
