Your Heart Out
The Fall · Other Songs - The Fall
A time of great depression
Fade out of reason
Bad times in season
Don't shut your heart out
Don't cry your eyes out
Don't shut your heart out
No, no, no, heart out
Don't cry for me, Mexico
Or Savage Pencil, I'm nearly healthy
And they try to take my eyes out
Friends try to work my soul out
And I don't sing, I just shout
Heavy clout, heart out
Now, here's a joke
To cheer you up
Old times, no surgeon
Just magicians and dungeons
There they take
With a sharp knife, it wasn't fake
They had no anesthetic
That joke's pathetic
Just look at me
Too much speed
But very plain
You're lucky, friend
You've got one to take out
You know what I'm talkin' about?
I don't sing, I just shout
All on one note
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Look at me, I just ding
Heart is out, out, it's out
