lyrics

CUT YOUR HAIR

When your heart gets broken,
Cut your hair, paint it black.
When you want to start again,
Dye it red, bleach it blonde.

So when he passes you on the street
He will never know you once loved him.
So when she passes you on the street
She will never know you once loved her.

When your heart gets broken,
Iron it straight as Jo, get a permanent,
When you want to start again,
grow it long as Samson before it gets cut off.

So when he passes you on the street
He will never know you once loved him,
So when she passes you on the street
She will never know you once loved her.

When you want to start again,
cut your hair, cut your hair,
When you want to start again,
Shave it off, ‘til you’re stripped back like a baby.

Shave it off
Get rid of it all
Start a fire
Scorch the earth
With gasoline
Change the locks
Leave in a cloud of dust,

So when he passes you on the street
He will never know you once loved him...
