Beautiful South - Hot On The Heels Of Heartbreak Lyrics
If you could pull yourself away from that messSurely if you pack a punch than you can pack a dressCause hot on the trail of self pity is wildernessLike hot on the heels of heartbreak is happinessIt’s an upward struggle just to be yourselfAnd if I climb too far I’ll end up on the shelfWhen sorry’s have been said and tears, tears have driedI’m still the easy route to easy rideIf you could just have a good word with yourselfConvince yourself you’re you and no-one elseRestore your confidence and your prideA soldier don’t need no-one by their sideIt seems as though there’s only me to blamePushover, must be my middle nameJust because he flushed love down the drainDoesn’t mean your little heart can’t be reclaimedAnd I know that what I’ve chosen’s second bestAnd if the passport was there then I’d say yesBut departure leaves a fully feathered nestThis easy bird is easily impressedThis easy bird is easily impressedYour little wings broken, nest destroyedThe love that he talked of, null and voidIf you knew you were a plaything with which they toyedNext time I choose to love I’ll take good aimMiss out on his sweet talk and his blameThen when I miss the target I can’t complainIt’s only the sure-shot actually feels the pain
