about

This song is an oldie. Initially recorded by Rank Amateurs, the 80s-era songwriting/recording project featuring auteur Andrew Bergey and yours truly. This tune has always stuck with me, mainly because it was one of the few instances where I had the music (an instrumental with a different title) and later Mr. Bergey came up with lyrics. A great little power-popper.

You can find the original Rank Amateurs version here, along with more ancient artifacts:

And Mr. Bergey is quite the musical adventurer himself - check out his latest collection, available as a free download. "I Can Take A Hint" - outsider rock rules!

lyrics

BREAKING AND ENTERING by A. Bergey/K.Dennis

She's got a crime in mind
She won't let on
She's got a plan in hand
When I am gone
Breaking and entering
My heart is on her string

She can't help it, it's her habit
When I'm not there, she will grab it
I'm elsewhere and absent-minded
Leave my heart where she could find it
She will take it, it's a steal
She has found out where I feel

She's got a scheme from dreams
A second try
There's a part on my heart
Where she can pry
Breaking and entering
My heart is on her string
