Music & Lyrics: Jimmy Bain, Philip Lynott





The girl's a fool

She broke the rules

She hurt him hard

This time he will break down

She's lost his trust

And so she must

Know all is lost

The system has broke down

Romance has broke down



This boy is crackin' up

This boy has broken down

This boy is crackin' up

This boy has broke down...



She plays it hard

She plays it tough

But thats enough

The love is over

She's broke his heart and that is rough

But in the end he'll soon recover

The romance is over



This boy is crackin' up

This boy has broken down

This boy is crackin' up

This boy has broke down



This boy is crackin' up

This boy has broken down

This boy is crackin' up

This boy has broke down...



I've been spending my money

In the old town

It's not the same, honey

With you not around

I've been spending my time

In the old town

Sure miss you honey

When you're not around

You're not around

This... old town



Ola!



This boy is crackin' up

This boy has broken down

This boy is crackin' up

This boy has broke down

This boy is crackin' up

This boy has broken down

This boy is crackin' up

This boy has broke down
