LYRICS

HEART OF TEARS

I met a girl, she said her name was Mary She was a veterinary secretary She spent all day Listening to meows, barks and croaks Then spent all night Dancing for money with blokes She’s really pushy when she’s out on the pull Her poison arrow shooting Right through the bull Like Jocky Wilson and Darth Vader combined She threw a treble twenty into my mind When love appears Between the theres and heres Beneath the sniggers and sneers Scratch away the veneers She got a heart of tears Well, she was strictly of the sex persuasion 3 into 1, I second that equation She played the nurse and I the evil doctor Connected her to a machine and shocked her Helped her fulfil the wet American dream Smothered her in Mom’s apple pie And whipped cream She said she liked it but you never can tell She liked embroidery and cooking as well Love interferes After one or two beers And when the sedative clears It can ruin careers She got a heart of tears Good God! Bless my soul! I’m always crying And lying And sighing And dying I’m dead And then one day When it was bright and sunny I won the pools and got a load of money Gave her my heart With chips and peas on a plate She scoffed it all and ran away with my mate I got so mad I punched a hole in the dog I flushed my golden lame suit down the bog Got me a load of smack and Charlie and weed And then I took it all at once and OD’d Love disappears In a couple of years No souvenirs On the beaches and the piers I got a heart of… Well, you don’t always have to Judge by the book You never always have to leap when you look Don’t count the crannies When you can’t see the nook Don’t count the broth it takes to ruin the cook What are words worth When they cannot speak? What are birds worth When they don’t have a beak? Ah well, I shot myself in one foot And the other’s in the grave Think of the nines we’ll save
