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 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
