It Certainly Appears Broken, Minerva

David Marcouillier

The title just popped into my head unannounced one day and I had to try to work from that. About a girl with a broken radio and the repairman who would do anything to find her a new one and win her love…

It certainly appears broken, Minerva:

Well it certainly appears that this is broken, Minerva,
I hate to break the bad news to you
but it doesn’t look good.
And in my professional opinion
you’re going to need yourself
a new radio.

But I’ve got the time and nothing else to do
than to scour the pawnshops for you
all day and all night long.
And if I could find that perfect radio
then maybe you could be my baby, oh.
We’d dance to every song.

But for now it certainly appears that this one’s broken, Minerva,
I hate to be the one to break it to you, honey,
but this does not look good.
And it’s my professional opinion
That you’d better find yourself
A new radio.

But I’ve got the time and nothing else to do
Than to scour every pawnshops for you, honey,
all day and all night long.
And if I could find that magic radio
then maybe you could be my baby, oh.
We’d dance to every song.

But for now, this one certainly appears to be broken, Minerva…
