With the money from her accident She bought herself a mobile home So at least she could get some enjoyment Out of being alone No one could say that she was left up on the shelf It's you and me against the World kid she mumbled to herself
When the world falls apart some things stay in place Levi Stubbs' tears run down his face
EDIT: I always thought the lyrics were great (as well as very poignant) but I hadn't realised they had prompted an article in the Spectator (admittedly partly pay-walled).
She ran away from home in her mother's best coat She was married before she was even entitled to vote And her husband was one of those blokes The sort that only laughs at his own jokes The sort a war takes away And when there wasn't a war he left anyway
Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong Are here to make everything right that's wrong Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too Are here to make it all okay with you
One dark night he came home from the sea And put a hole in her body where no hole should be It hurt her more to see him walking out the door And though they stitched her back together they left her heart in pieces on the floor
When the world falls apart some things stay in place She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case When the world falls apart some things stay in place Levi Stubbs' tears

One of my favourite bands from the 90s and still going strong. I saw them supporting Roger Daltrey earlier this month and off to see them again in November. Always a great gig.
Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.
