Spare Parts - Live at Stockholm Stadium, Stockholm, Sweden - 7/3/1988

This is a song about a woman trying to understand a value
Of wrong individual existence, put away your past
And find something new and beutiful in her life now

Bobby said he'd pull out but Bobby stayed in
Janey had a baby, it wasn't any sin

Spare parts and broken hearts
Keep the dirty world turning around and around

Well, Booby said he'd pull out, Bobby stayed in
Janey had a baby, wasn't any sin
They were set to marry on a summer day
Bobby got scared and he ran away

Jane moved in with here ma out on Shawnee Lake
She sighed, "Ma, sometimes my whole life feels like one big mistake"
She settled in in a back room, time passed on
Later that winter a son came along

Spare parts and broken hearts
Keep the world turning around, around

Now, Janey walked that baby 'cross the floor night after night
She was young girl and she missed the party life
Meanwhile in South Texas in a dirty oil patch
Bobby heard 'bout his son being born, swore he ain't ever going back

Spare parts and broken hearts
Keep the world turning around, run around

Janey heard about a woman over in Calverton
Put her baby in the river, let the river roll on
She looked at her boy in that crib where he lay
Got down on her knees, cried 'til she prayed

Mist was on the water, low run the tide
Janey held her son down at the riverside
Waist deep in the river how bright the sun shone
She lifted him in her arms and carried him home

As he lay sleeping in her bed she took a look around at everything
Went to a drawer in her bureau, got out her old engagement ring
Took out her wedding dress tied that ring up in its sash
Went straight down to the pawn shop for some good cold cash

(Spare parts) And broken hearts
Keep the dirty world turning around, around
(Spare parts) Spare parts and broken hearts
(Keep the world turning) World turning around, around, around
