Intro

     

Verse 1

Love sees love's happiness
but happiness can't see that love is sad 
That love is sad 
sadness is hanging there
to show love somewhere something needs a change 
they need a change 

Chorus

They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane 
to take the house he built for her apart
to make it break it's gonna take
a metal ball hung from a chain
they'll need a crane, they'll need a crane 
to pick the broken ruins up again
to mend her heart, to help him start
to see a world apart from pain

Verse 2

Lad's gal is all he has
gal's gladness hangs upon the love of lad, 
the love of lad 
some things gal says to lad
aren't meant as bad but cause a little pain 
they cause him pain 

Chorus

They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane 
to take the house he built for her apart
to make it break it's gonna take
a metal ball hung from a chain
they'll need a crane, they'll need a crane 
to pick the broken ruins up again
to mend her heart, to help him start
to see a world apart from pain

Bridge

Don't call me at work again, oh no, the boss still hates me
I'm just tired and I don't love you anymore and there's a restaurant
we should check out where the other nightmare people like to go
I mean nice people, baby, wait, I didn't mean to say nightmare

Verse 3

Lad looks at other gals
gal thinks Jim Beam is handsomer than lad, 
he isn't bad 
call off the wedding band
nobody wants to hear that one again 
play that again 

Chorus

They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane 
to take the house he built for her apart
to make it break it's gonna take
a metal ball hung from a chain
they'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
to pick the broken ruins up again
to mend her heart, to help him start
to see a world apart from pain
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
