David Roe: The Music

Broken Mirrors

(David Roe)

Seven come eleven, the gambler cries
7 Samurai watch him as he rolls the dice
7 Brides for 7 Brothers
7 magnificent men
Seven sisters sipping seven and sevens playing 7 string mandolins

Seven deadly virtues
Seven pleasant sins
Seven Years War; War’s a bitch; And no one ever wins
Took a Seventh Inning stretch
To scratch a 7 year itch
I sailed the 7 seas trying to get rich

Seven swans a swimming over the 7th wave
The 7th son of the 7th son simply would not be saved
7 steps to heaven right to the 7 colored rainbow wall
7 days to make the world
7 nights to watch it fall

Strip the 7th seal from the old papyrus scroll
Turn off the 7 second delay, cause I am on a roll
7 generations; 7 Up and 7 down
7 senses when I was born
There’s one less than that now

7 angels dance on the head of a pin
7 Indian standing
We started out with 10
7 wonders 7 stages
7 continentals drift
Now I’m working the 7-11 on the graveyard shift

Not even hope springs eternal at the Seven Springs
7 o’clock news comes on 7 nights a week
There is no 7th heaven Not one more chance at bliss
Seven weddings 7 funerals all come down to this


7 wedding bells ringing Each is a mistake
Like Rodney and Roseanne trying to cure a 7 year ache
Seven come eleven I heard the gambler shout
The clerk at the seven eleven is afraid to come out
