Can We Fix It?
Thanks very much to Vic Galloway for looking after things all this week and Monday's theme is in no way a comment on the fact he was in charge of the studio...but we are looking for your Broken and Fixed songs. From Alexandra Burke and her malfunctioning heels, to Mr Mister and their Broken Wings and no doubt a fair dose of broken hearts - we'll try, with a bit of Hot Chocolate, to Put You Together Again or ask Coldplay to Fix You. And if all fails, it might be a job for Bob the Builder.

This shirt was the one I lent you

There was a rip inside the sleeve
Where you rolled your cigarettes
It was the place I put my heart
Now look at where you put a tear
I forgave your thoughtlessness
But not the boy who put it there.
