about

Break It Off is about being powerless to somebody’s charms. When a relationship is terribly bad for you, but the infatuation is overwhelming. When you’re not receiving enough in return, there is a desperation that the person will have a miraculous epiphany and realise they’re actually madly in love. There is an inability to let go of that hope, to the extent where the only option is to be dumped ruthlessly! Break It Off is all of that,
soundtracked by luscious, melodramatic, Rufus Wainwright & ABBA esque camp musicality. And of course, a whimsical middle 8 mention of my celebrity dream husband to whom all men are compared (Benedict Cumberbatch).

lyrics

After another weekend of aunt agony
I’m out in disguise
Feigning sparkle and shameless self-certainty
I knit the wool for my eyes

Long nights I’ve laid awake
Penning stories and songs for the sake
One day you’ll come apart
With a full change of heart

Break it off, break it off
Oh our sunset won’t dawn
Pull the pin and be gone
Break it off, break it off
I know I’ll never have the heart to leave you

If I’d known, If I’d known, if I’d known

Do me a favour and hide all the sweets away
I’ve got no control
Haven’t you heard there’s no time to go roots ‘n’ all
I’ll renew, be reborn

Don’t say another word
Or I’ll swear to myself that I’ve heard
One day you’ll come apart
With a full change of heart

Break it off, break it off
Oh our sunset won’t dawn
Pull the pin and be gone
Break it off, break it off
I know I’ll never have the heart to leave you

If I’d known, If I’d known, if I’d known

And when I face the facts
We’re a bit of a mess
Not the pick of the best
And you’re not a patch on Benedict Cumberbatch

Break it off, break it off, break it off
If I’d known, If I’d known, if I’d known
