About Broken Bones

"Broken Bones" is the debut song by Canadian eurodance group Love Inc.. It was released in November 1997 as the first single from the album Love Inc. and as a cut on the Club Cutz 3 compilation released by RCA Records in the United States. The lyrics deal with a person who, despite being a victim of prejudice from others, succeeds in making their dreams come true. The lyrics also speculate that the prejudice is that of society toward drug dealers or that a person is taking drugs because of bias towards them. Despite reaching the top spot on Canada's RPM Dance Chart and peaking at No. 6 on the Canadian Singles Chart in March 1998, it got as far as only No. 23 on the RPM Top Singles chart—Canada's official chart at the time. However, the song's video helped the act win a Best Video and Best Dance Video award at the 1998 MuchMusic Video Awards. and the song itself would give the act a Juno Award for Best Dance Recording in 1999. Outside Canada, the song reached No. 52 on Australia's ARIA Singles Chart in July 1999 and No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart in May 2003.

Let me tell you darling I've been high most of my life, 
And a dream is just a wish that a heart makes, 
I used to sell ya, sell ya, sell ya only things you could find in a drugstore. 
People used to tell me, tell me, tell me, just what kind of high they were looking for. 
Take a ride on a purple airplane, 
Honey I don't know when I'll be back again.

Cause I got broken bones, 
Not from the sticks and stones but from the names that you call me. 
I got broken bones, 
Not from the sticks and stones but from the names that you call me. 

Hey you got the picture do you know what I mean, 
I'm the fire baby and you're the gasoline. 
You like my characteristics, you like my stones, 
Call me all the names you say and break my bones. 

Well let me tell you I've been high most of my life, 
And a dream is just a wish that a heart makes, 
I used to sell ya, sell ya, sell ya only things you could find in a drugstore. 
People used to tell me, tell me, tell me, just what kind of high they were looking for. 
Take a ride on a purple airplane, 
Honey I don't know when I'll be back again.

Cause I got broken bones, 
Not from the sticks and stones but from the names that you call me. 
I got broken bones 
Not from the sticks and stones but from the names that you call me. 

Hey you got the picture do you know what I mean, 
I'm the fire baby and you're the gasoline. 
You like my characteristics, you like my stones, 
Call me all the names and say break my bones. 

Take a ride on a purple airplane, 
Honey I don't know when I'll be back again. 

Let me tell you darling I've been high most of my life, 
And a dream is just a wish that a heart makes, 
I used to sell ya, sell ya, sell ya all the things you could find in a drugstore. 
People used to tell me, tell me, tell me, just what kind of high they were looking for. 
Take a ride on a purple airplane, 
Honey I don't know when I'll be back again.
