??. If it Ain't Broke (Break It)

Probably the shortest song Steinman's ever written. I have a version with alternate lyrics, which were later changed because of their content (I quote from them in my AVATAR QUOTE). Fireball says it's Jim inspired by DO IT. I give it, even though I've only ever read the lyrics and never heard it, 9/10. Who has the music?

I've got it, its from the MTV film of Wuthering Heights which came out last year. One of Jims shortest songs, and not one of his best IMO, probably only gets a 6/10 from me!

the lyrics are great though!

When you say shortest Jim song, how short do you mean?

SPUD: Not JOINED FEB 17TH - the quote with "There are designated demons in the circles of hell / they'll give you words to live by and to die by as well." That was apart of the original version - which (incidentally) is a lot stronger than the one that made it. It lasts for 2 minutes and 1 second. The shortest ever Stein-song on record!

I take it you require a "song" to have music? As shortest track I know of that Jim has made is The Invocation... though no music, so not a song :)

If Light Were Dark, And Dark Were Light,
The Moon A Black Hole In The Blaze Of Night,
A Ravens Wing As Bright As Tin,
Then You My Love, Would Be Darker Than Sin.
