Foreigner parody lyrics
Tear You Up
For use with Break It Up
(What does the markup on these lyrics mean?)
Made everyone your prisoners
You locked us-all away
Can't remember, what’s the crime
For which you make us pay?
(You) don’t want to face life
Feel you’ve been betrayed
I want you tell me
Where your love went astray
And made you take out your innards
Why did you take your heart away
Let’s get it straight
‘Cause it's a big mistake
Ye better think about it
I’m never going to tear me up
Why did ye have to tear you up?
Never ever will I tear me up oh no
That’s only gonna break it up, you-blight
You play a song about it
On the keys be - low
A paint - ing that reflects your love
From the times of old
I won’t listen
Pipe organ’s not to my tastes
And something is missing
And now you just can’t play
Why can’t you play more than five-notes?
Why can’t you play? Give it an - other way
Let’s get it straight
This is a big mistake
We better think about it
I’m never going to tear me up
Why did ye have to tear you up?
Never ever will I tear me up
Ooh no, that’s only gonna break it up you-blight
So no one tear you up, tear you up
You ought-to hear me say that’ll break it up, break it up
I’m never going to tear me up
Oh Davy, why did ye break it up you-blight?
Break it up you-blight, break it up you-blight
And I ask everyone
What’s wrong with ye?
You will make me go blind
I know she tried to give ye everything
But I still cannot see
Any more than that your love slipped away
I’m telling you, telling too late
Don’t tear you up, tear you up
Taking a bloody knife will break it up, break it up
Davy, why’d ye break it up
Behind the scenes
I wrote this while first writing my web pages in November 2019, making it the first parody that I did not write with pencil and paper for my in-person audience.
