Lyrics
Took you two years to win my heart
And two words to break it
The love you ignited, you firefighted
And roared bellowing into the rainy night
They say heartbreak is good for the skin
But all that it’s helped is my drinking
Picking fights with myself and my friends
And my friends threatening to do me in
Took you two years to win my heart
And two words to break it
More surprising than two years of lying
Is how people let you get away with it
Those Saturday sleep-ins with no distractions
Summer sun and songbirds
Once kept afloat on a Venetian boat
Now blotted out by those two words
Mighty Leon, wind the tape, and be sure of one thing
Every song from a heart this mangled
Will be draped in strings, strings, strings
