Guest,TC - you're absolutely correct! I've just listened again and it's quite clear; I may have better audio than I did 13 years ago.

Not my usual interest, but Mudcat is a (generally) helpful place and Chron Gen not so easy for non-native speakers. After transcribing 3 Chron Gen tracks for Steve78 I was starting to quite like them!

I think that last line, cause it's the only thing that makes sense, is...
"I have to drown these sorrows just to ease this guilty brain"

Steve

This one's a bit harder than the last two! I've listened to three versions on youtube and this is the best I can get.

hearts on line 6 I think is OK, but I'm not certain. trem I'm not sure about; the pronounciation seems to be drem but if it is I don't know the term. It could be drum but it doesn't sound like it, so I've taken it as an Americanized pronounciation of trem.

Hope it's enough for you anyway.

BREAKDOWN


I sing this song and the morning light
Comes burning through and it's all bright.
Come round in bed with a throbbing head
And nothing seems to go quite right.

Forgetting mind and hearts? are blind to reason or delight.
And I can't seem to come to terms to face the brand new day

  I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down, down, down, down
  I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down, down, down, down
  I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down, down, down, down


Voices sound like they're too loud, it's up too fierce and great.
A vicious slash, my temper lost, controlling starts too late.
I have killed a friend of mine, my conscience starts to pain.
I have to trem? these solos just to ease this guilty brain.

  I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down, down, down, down
  I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down, down, down, down
  I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down, down, down, down

  I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down, down, down, down
  I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down, down, down, down
  I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down, down, down, down
