dark dark heart þarký sözü

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
