Written last century and eventually recorded with Wes as we loved playing it so much live. Fun lyrics

lyrics

The flowers, you can keep them, there's hundreds in the park
The secrets that I told you, I was lying from the start

The poetry I wrote you, I got it from a book
The good times that we had, I put it down to luck

But there's something that you've got, and it's something that I lack
Oh oh oh oh, can I have my heart back? (rpt)

I gave her Cadbury's Roses, wooed her on her beer
Declared that I'd die for her, she said 'what a good idea'

But there's something that you've got, and it's something that I lack
Oh oh oh oh, can I have my heart back? (rpt)

Anything that's left, consider it a gift
It's no value left to me, you know it really won't be missed
But there's something quite peculiar, my body just won't start
Rummage throuhg the wreckage and can you find my heart?

The chocolates, well you ate them, they were six months out of date
That gold and silver pendant, just tin and copper plate
