We Fix Everything But Broken Hearts

This is a song Becky had the idea for, and we've worked together to write it. This is the working title, but I think it'd make sense to have the name of the company in question be the title of the song. Apparently there are several machine shops and glue companies that have actually used variations on this phrase as a slogan. One was a machine shop in NYC between 1905 and 1933 named "Sanford and Son" which we pretty much couldn't use because of the TV of the same name.

lyrics

Gabe's preliminary lyrics draft 20100107

if your bathtub is leaking
if your floorboards are squeaking
if your bicycle chain's rusted through

if you dented your fender
if you chewed up your blender
bring it by we'll see what we can do

if your drive belt is slipping
if your faucet is dripping
if your muffler's tied up with some string

if your toilet is clogged up
if your skylight is fogged up
we can fix just about anything

CHORUS:
we've got the name
we've got the know-how
we've got the tools we can order the parts
we can mend any cut
we can weld that crack shut
we fix everything but
broken hearts

if the bank took your house
or the lord took your spouse
cut her down in the flow'r of her youth

that's a shame but we're sorry to say
feelings ain't our forte
here to tell you the truth

if your dog ran away
if you can't face the day
'cause you weren't hugged enough as a kid

if you're dealing with issues
we got boxes of tissues
but we don't want to quote you a bid

BRIDGE:
we can't stop up your tears
and believe me, we would if we could
we would solder and rivet and braze those ducts shut
if we thought it would do any good
