Breakdown (Live at Lesser Free Trade Hall, Manchester, ENG—July 21st, 1978)

[Intro]
*encore* 1, 2, 3, 4

[Verse 1]
If I seem a little jittery, I can't restrain myself
I'm falling into fancy fragments, can't contain myself

[Hook 1]
I'm gonna breakdown, gonna breakdown, yes
I'm gonna breakdown, gonna breakdown, yes

[Verse 2]
Now I can stand austerity, but it gets a little much
When there's all these livid things that you never get to touch

[Hook 2]
It gives me a breakdown, gonna breakdown, yes
I'm gonna breakdown, gonna breakdown, yes

[Chorus 1]
Feel my brain like porridge, coming out of me ears
And I was anticipating reverie
I've taken leave of me senses, and I'm in arrears
My legs buckle over, now I'm living on my knees
Breakdown, yes, gonna breakdown, yes
Gonna breakdown, yes, uh-huh

[Verse 3]
Whatever makes me tick, it takes away my concentration
Sets my hands trembling, gives me frustration

[Hook 3]
I'm gonna breakdown, gonna breakdown, yes
I'm gonna breakdown, I'm gonna breakdown, yes

[Verse 4]
So I hear that two is company, for me, it's plenty trouble
Though my double thoughts are clearer now that I am seeing double

[Hook 4]
Breakdown, gonna breakdown, yes
I'm gonna breakdown, I wanna breakdown, yes

[Chorus 2]
Oh mum, can I grow out of what's a little big for me?
I'm gonna give up that ghost before it gives up me
I wander loaded as a crowd, a nowhere wolf of pain, uh
Living next to nothing, my nevermind remains
Breakdown, yes, gonna breakdown, yes
Gonna breakdown, yes

[Outro]
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
*encore* (What do I get? O-o-oh, what do I get?)
We're doing a show here
Alright, now there's a lot of people sitting up though
Might as well have a bit over here
C'mon, get them down here, c'mon
C'mon, you lazy bastards, get down
A lot of people at the back, you're not safe, come further forwards
Plenty of room, unless you don't dance
Your mom's [?] can't see ya, or maybe she'll be in bed by now
This is "What Do I Get?", you know the words
