Lyrics
Plastic Hearts
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You sauntered off and you said how's tricks
You can't mix drugs with your politics
So we took and talked and lost the plot
And after that everything seemed fine
And as it stings and beautiful collide
We watch each others worlds ride under the tide
With intoxicating hands
Cold cold hearts
And well laid plans
Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind you
La la la la la
You keep it all
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
I'm moving on
How do you escape
The great pails of pouring rain
Go to an island or a house in Spain oh
La la la la la la oh
Oh how we'd kill to go
Erect the gutters and move us in
Life or buildings and medicines
We all make the same mistakes
Our pitfalls pull us together
Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind you
La la la la la
They keep it all
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
Ohh
Kick this round our bedroom floor
Hate the daylight hours which you wont ignore
But the tide, the tide has drifted away
La la la la la
You keep it all
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
La la la la la
Keep it on
Friends for life and acquaintances
Romance and great distances
There's been so many casualties
But I cannot run out over these
Oh no
