Broad Ripple is Burning- Margot and the Nuclear So and So's Cover

since I live 4 minutes away from Fountain Square, I always get really excited when I hear it in this song. Plus, Broad Ripple is a cool place. More importantly, Margot is amazing.

Children, Broadripple is burning,
And the girls are getting sick
Off huffing glue up in the bathroom
While your boyfriends pick up chicks.
And darling I'm lost.
I heard you whisper
That night in fountain square.
The trash filled streets
Made me wish we were headed home.
There was love inside the basement,
Where that woman used to lie
In a sleeping bag we shared
Upon the floor almost every night.
And darling I'm drunk.
Everything that I have loved is turned to stone.
So pack your bag and come back home.

And I'm wasted.
You can taste it.
Don't look at me that way.
'cause I've been hanging from a rope.
I will haunt you like a ghost.

If my woman was a fire,
She'd burn out before I wake.
And be replaced by pints of whiskey,
Cigarettes, and outer space.
If somebody moves,
Everything you thought you had
Will go to shit.
We've got a lot. Don't ever forget that.
And I wrote this on an airplane,
Where the people looked like eggs.
And when a woman that you love is gone,
She was bombing east Japan.
And don't f**king move.
Because everything you thought
You have will go to shit.
We've got a lot. Don't you dare forget that.

And I'm wasted.
You can taste it.
Don't look at me that way.
'cause I'll be hanging from a rope.
I will haunt you like a ghost.

This is so good :D I like this soooo much more than the original =D i wish u had an mp3 of it

[settleac]

I'm sure I could work out an MP3 version for you. :) I dont have time to re-record it-- would the audio from this video be cool?

[LilxBlackxLamb]

very nice, i prefer the demo version of the song to the album version, but the way you played it made me love it more...on that note Marry Me? =]

[settleac]

@LilxBlackxLamb The demo version is far superior. I like the "snorting coke" part a lot more than huffing glue-- I dunno why haha. Thats the way I always play it now.

[uhxohhxjessmika]

i like it when indiana kids cover this song :]

i feel like it has more meaning to us, since we know what they're talking about.

[settleac]

Agreed. :)

[alriley19]

you have a really nice voice =]

[mocoloco234]

@arcanepurposes I love you.

[arcanepurposes]

@uhxohhxjessmika Right, because only people from Indiana know what it feels like to lose love and get lost in an endless ocean of self-destruction, drowning in a bottle of one's own choosing. Yep, nobody else in the world can experience feelings loss so deep, or the pain of knowing it's your own fault for throwing it away. That's exclusive to people from Indiana. The rest of us can't possibly relate to it.

[YourSilenceIsDeadly]

Pretty sure you're my soulmate.

[3mmy8]

I loove this song. You did an amazing job with it. I love your voice :)

[thelostsyringe]

you have a really unique voice, i love it. <3

[AkiraMusic]

I actually didn't know Margot was from here in Indy for a while, so when I heard this song I got pretty excited.

You have a killer voice.

[Blade0047]

sounds like he did something to his voice in this

@uhxohhxjessmika
