John Wesley Harding - Dark Dark Heart Lyrics
In an office two miles undergroundThey cant tell night from daySecretaries typing errors of judgementIn eternally full in-traysPhones ring in, get put on holdWell Im just waiting for my nails to dryI was coming unstuck with nothing to showYou stuck to him like felt on velcroBut now hes gone soloHes taken all the amps, smashed the bedside lampTaken all the lightbulbs and the decorative wheelclampsYou got a dark dark dark heartIts the heart of darknessNow you live in a filing cabinetYoure another painful smiling faceWhat you had doesnt even have the graceTo be forgotten without a traceIt lies, it cheats, it moans, it bleatsAlmost human in every detailIn this stinking room, no-one goes to bedTheres nothing to say that hasnt been saidIts not enough to wish you were deadYou had the last laugh but he didnt know whyHe jumped out the window, man, he thought he could flyYou got a dark dark dark heartIts the heart of darknessLook at your body well youre lying stillTheres a smile across your faceAt the funeral yesterdayYour corpse looked out of placeYou looked like death to the gathered throngBut I knew you were laughing insideSomething about your sense of humourBased on innuendo and rumourYou were the ultimate consumerI took all your things, I threw away your wedding ringsYou had a big collection, baby, now they dont look soFetchingYou got a dark dark dark heartIts the heart of darknessIts 4 am inside my mindBut its dusk out on the streetThe lamps are burning firefliesWho couldnt stand the heatI got cool bed linen, babySo the story should be completeBut somewhere in the back of behindTheres a light that makes me feel unkindThose stupid things I made you signIt aint deus ex machinaIts not some soul subpoenaIts just when things mean nothing it makes you meanerYou got a dark dark dark heartIts the heart of darkness
