Song information
This is the latest Kaverley production! As usual Ken Lee arranged, produced this wonderful backing (I'm actually a bad and lazy musician ... preferring to compose and write). By the way, yesterday was Ken's 84th birthday. And tomorrow's my 84th too! Hope you like this one!

Lyrics
Broken Strings
© Stanley Loh February 17, 2026
Verse 1 Instrumental Am    D/ Am    D    Am
Verse 1
I saw a clear outline, my name in faded hills,
I saw the lofty mountains standing still,
In the brilliant snow, my fears, they do not show,
Something mysterious about to blow!
Now the holes in my shoes
The rocks cutting through,
Oh my guitar case so empty like my belly…
Chorus
My broken strings do not trust,
Stage doors are slamming shut…
Bridge
Oh Give me cold beer!
Give me cassava chips!
Blood shows on my fingertips …
Tonight my belly’s ‘bout to burst,
My throat is parched with thirst!
Instrumental Am    D/ Am    D    Am
Verse 2
Killing time, chasing fame, dark is my mood,
Right now I know cold beer tastes good,
This life of music ain’t no good livelihood,
Oh lord it takes so long to get on my page,
Cause the rows of empty chairs,
My mind wears the tears,
Oh my guitar case so empty like my belly…
Chorus
My broken strings do not trust,
Stage doors are slamming shut…
Outro
Oh my broken strings do not trust,
Stage doors are slamming shut…
