| In an office two miles underground
|
| They can’t tell night from day
|
| Secretaries typing errors of judgement
|
| In eternally full in-trays
|
| Phones ring in, get put on hold
|
| Well I’m just waiting for my nails to dry
|
| I was coming unstuck with nothing to show
|
| You stuck to him like felt on velcro
|
| But now he’s gone solo
|
| He’s taken all the amps, smashed the bedside lamp
|
| Taken all the lightbulbs and the decorative wheelclamps
|
| You got a dark dark dark heart
|
| It’s the heart of darkness
|
| Now you live in a filing cabinet
|
| You’re another painful smiling face
|
| What you had doesn’t even have the grace
|
| To be forgotten without a trace
|
| It lies, it cheats, it moans, it bleats
|
| Almost human in every detail
|
| In this stinking room, no-one goes to bed
|
| There’s nothing to say that hasn’t been said
|
| It’s not enough to wish you were dead
|
| You had the last laugh but he didn’t know why
|
| He jumped out the window, man, he thought he could fly
|
| You got a dark dark dark heart
|
| It’s the heart of darkness
|
| Look at your body well you’re lying still
|
| There’s a smile across your face
|
| At the funeral yesterday
|
| Your corpse looked out of place
|
| You looked like death to the gathered throng
|
| But I knew you were laughing inside
|
| Something about your sense of humour
|
| Based on innuendo and rumour
|
| You were the ultimate consumer
|
| I took all your things, I threw away your wedding rings
|
| You had a big collection, baby, now they don’t look so Fetching
|
| You got a dark dark dark heart
|
| It’s the heart of darkness
|
| It’s 4 am inside my mind
|
| But it’s dusk out on the street
|
| The lamps are burning fireflies
|
| Who couldn’t stand the heat
|
| I got cool bed linen, baby
|
| So the story should be complete
|
| But somewhere in the back of behind
|
| There’s a light that makes me feel unkind
|
| Those stupid things I made you sign
|
| It ain’t deus ex machina
|
| It’s not some soul subpoena
|
| It’s just when things mean nothing it makes you meaner
|
| You got a dark dark dark heart
|
| It’s the heart of darkness |
