Hymns of her Heart I wouldn’t waste bad news on you An optimist, you can’t resist If you wept to the key of a clarinet You never let them know it And the hymns of her heart keep tearing her apart I wanted to be why you’re wonderful You wouldn’t allow for it somehow Oh eyes of green do you miss what could have been What you might have seen And the hymns of her heart keep tearing her apart Do you feel a little strange? You don’t need to change Do you feel it’s all the same? It’s happening again If you wept to the key of a clarinet You never let them know it And the hymns of her heart keep tearing her apart Do you feel a little strange? You don’t need to change Do you feel it’s all the same? It’s happening again

Don’t worry ‘bout me lovely this ain’t unique You see this happens to me every other week Does it not feel right unless it’s wrong? Does it not feel whole ‘till it’s all gone? Everyone wants a piece of what they don’t wanna keep The artificial flavours, the artificial wakeners The nights of dirty tricks and nights of dirty trips I lost myself when I, when I found you Didn’t mind being that way, ‘till I lost you too Everyone wants a piece of what they don’t wanna keep Don’t want you to think that I’m a stalker Cause that would spoil the surprise Is there method to the madness? Or just madness in my method Everyone wants a piece of what they don’t wanna keep

We met up to have a few drinks and you started rubbing my legs and saying the sweetest things, I knew it was just the alcohol talking You said that I was crazy when I told you that the voices in my head have American accents, I knew I was crazy about something before Hey miss princess goaty legs why do I always seem to get the outer fringes of the bed? You ask me these questions of thought and I don’t seem to be on the same scene, maybe if you ask me on a Monday I’d have a different opinion And I can tell that your not very happy and I ask you what’s on your mind, you say it only concerns privacy Hey miss princess goaty legs, why do I always seem to get the outer fringes of the bed? I ask you why you don’t seem to want to spend much time with me anymore; you say you’ve found other things more interesting Hey miss princess goaty legs why do I always seem to get the outer fringes of the bed? And Hey miss princess goaty legs, why do I always seem to get left with regret?

Wouldn’t believe it at first sight Friends changing at twilight The needy will get seedy in this type of romance And the look that you prepared Means the clothes are barely there It’s a pity for you sweetie no imagination to chance It’s not practical to be fashionable Is it an ideal life that you’re trying to achieve? Dance like your drowning In keeping with the trends You consume ambitious blends The night was alright if it’s easy to forget To forget about all the risk Promised to you by the chemist Still the little pill may save you from regret It’s not fashionable to be practical You’d rather sleep with your enemies than chance losing a friend Dance like your drowning
