Malcolm Middleton - A New Heart Lyrics
Malcolm Middleton Lyrics
A New Heart Lyrics
Ive been asked to write a song without a swear word or a slight
At myself or another, for my mother for my bride
A song thatll shine on my kids and theirs to come
Something thatll love them and watch over when Im gone
To my ward, to my wheel-chair, to my runners-up drip
Will you push me will you pull when Im too fat to see my
Didnt I always tell you Id stay for 2000 years?
Youd better hope that science fiction doesnt have good ears
Youre rubbing on my genie hurry up and make a wish
Quenched that thirst my bag is burst watch out for all my
Flies trying to break in to my eyes like little rymes
Of hatred trying to squeeze inside all these precious lines
I see across to the hills and the bridge that wears the sun
I remember how I feel when I know youre going to come
Running up the stairway and through the front door
Cook us dinner then we burst, take pictures on the floor
Remember when I sing my songs that opposites attract
Thats why these shavings of despair come zooming to my heart
For he is gold and magnet-red and beacon and a light
I take these flies and pick them off and catalogue the night
So put it in your eyes any way that you like
I say the words and feel your heart when I lie awake at night
I know sometimes Im moody and you have to wear kid-gloves
Im trying hard to better myself Im trying to rise above
So I tried to write a song without a swear word or a slight
At myself or another at my mother at my bride
I almost got accosted by the good old negative
And even when Im screaming love Im swearing that it is
Shouldnt I just admit it that Ive lost the race to lose
Break the record in its track and stop being confused
A friend to my failures and a friend to myself
Is what Ill be when Ive fixed the roof and everything else
At myself or another, for my mother for my bride
A song thatll shine on my kids and theirs to come
Something thatll love them and watch over when Im gone
To my ward, to my wheel-chair, to my runners-up drip
Will you push me will you pull when Im too fat to see my
Didnt I always tell you Id stay for 2000 years?
Youd better hope that science fiction doesnt have good ears
Youre rubbing on my genie hurry up and make a wish
Quenched that thirst my bag is burst watch out for all my
Flies trying to break in to my eyes like little rymes
Of hatred trying to squeeze inside all these precious lines
I see across to the hills and the bridge that wears the sun
I remember how I feel when I know youre going to come
Running up the stairway and through the front door
Cook us dinner then we burst, take pictures on the floor
Remember when I sing my songs that opposites attract
Thats why these shavings of despair come zooming to my heart
For he is gold and magnet-red and beacon and a light
I take these flies and pick them off and catalogue the night
So put it in your eyes any way that you like
I say the words and feel your heart when I lie awake at night
I know sometimes Im moody and you have to wear kid-gloves
Im trying hard to better myself Im trying to rise above
So I tried to write a song without a swear word or a slight
At myself or another at my mother at my bride
I almost got accosted by the good old negative
And even when Im screaming love Im swearing that it is
Shouldnt I just admit it that Ive lost the race to lose
Break the record in its track and stop being confused
A friend to my failures and a friend to myself
Is what Ill be when Ive fixed the roof and everything else
