I have just been listening to some of Grant's solo Cds and they are still amazing. One of my favorite tracks would have to be "What Went Wrong" from Horsebreak Star but there are so many good songs on all of the CDs. Does anyone out there have the lyrics to this one? It would be nice to see Grant and Robert's solo lyrics on this web site and the latest Go-Betweens BYBO lyrics too.   Alfred Posted on Monday, August 09, 2004 - 11:39 pm:    I love it too. I'm always puzzled by the number of negative reviews of "Horsebreaker Star" I read on this board. It's the only solo album on which a real band, with whom he has a smidgen of chemistry, backs Grant forcefully. It's his best album.   rdo Posted on Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - 01:45 am:    This may or may not be the words What went wrong Renegades from grief trying to find a shipload of gold from the mine I said lovers living on what went wrong Spend our time on a coral reef abandoned ship when we lost our teeth I said Lovers living on what went wrong What about living in magic hour, can’t find the lock to the marble tower I said Lovers living on what went wrong You found an orphan on you step, you cut its mind on you bicep Yeah, living on what went wrong Then comes a dream beats to a chime, ?? fire engines on your mind Lovers living on what went wrong Talk about jewels torn from fools, Everyone’s trying to get through school I said lovers living on what went wrong The moneys down the race is on, Can’t find a kidney in Hong Kong I said lovers living on what went wrong What about Louis and Marie, They lost their heads at the jamboree Lovers living on what went wrong There’s JFK and LBJ got to learn to tango in the USA I said lovers living on what went wrong Live like a free child ‘til they fill you, Living next door to a serial killer Lovers living on what went wrong Living in a town with 7 hills, Can’t get to sleep I need my pills I said lovers living on what went wrong You hear someone at your door, Knock knock knock do they still want more I said lovers living on what went wrong I’m burned out on the trail Cut lose by betrayal Returned all your mail Ah what went wrong I want to know what went wrong I ought to know what went wrong I want to know what went wrong Shoot that rifle, ducks on a ledge, Know what I mean, don’t hedge your bets I said lovers living on what went wrong Pick up a phone call experience, If you’re lucky they call it genius Lovers living on what went wrong See that shape in a fog coming at you foaming like a dog I said lovers living on what went wrong I want to know what went wrong But you don’t mind, no you don’t care, If it’s going to get you it'll get you anywhere I said lovers living on what went wrong Everyone afraid everyone’s scared, No one wants their soul bared I said lovers living on what went wrong Well Mother father daughter son they all think that they’re the only ones Lovers living on what went wrong Well some rob graves, some get sick, some bang nails, ?? couldn’t give a tick Lovers living on what went wrong What about the stars, you want more, they’re just holes in heaven’s floor I said lovers living on what went wrong You saw it fall you saw it crack I’ll tell you now he ain’t coming back I said Lovers living on what went wrong Between destruction and celebration, you've got the lips you’re the pinup of the nation Lovers living on what went wrong Let’s chat about a worm, how it screws, I don’t care if you got loose I said lovers living on what went wrong Cover it up, lie in the shade, If you don’t get it right you’ll be cut by the blade I said lovers living on what went wrong You can shave you head grow a beard I’ll bet Joan of arc was never that weird I said lovers living on what went wrong You burned out on the trail, filled your wounds with hail, abandoned without bail Ah what went wrong I want to know what went wrong Tell me what went wrong I want to know what went wrong   Andrew Posted on Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - 12:28 pm:    Thanks for the words rdo.
