Plastic Hearts - Dirty Pretty Things

You sauntered off and you said how’s tricks

You can’t mix drugs with your politics

But we took and talked and lost the plot

And after that everything seemed fine

And this just stinks of beautiful collide

We drag each others worlds down under the tide

With intoxicated hands

Cold cold hearts

And well laid plans

Are you listening

Are you listening

As the days

Like the waves

Pile up behind you

La la la la la

Keep it on

Melt my plastic heart

Help me move on

Why can’t I move on

How do we escape

The grim pails of pouring rain

Go to a foreign island or a house in Spain

Going: La la la la la la oh

Oh how I’d kill to go

So erect the girders and rivets in

Our life our buildings and medicine

Well we all make the same mistakes

Our pitfalls pull us together

Are you listening

Are you listening

As the days

Like the waves

Pile up behind me

La la la la la

Keep it on

Melt my plastic heart

Help me move on

We kicked this round my bedroom floor (la la la la)

Hate the daylight hours but you wanted more (la la la la)

But the tide

The tide has drifted away

Are you listening

Are you listening

As the days

Like the waves

Decisively pull us under

La la la la la

Keep it on

Melt my plastic heart

Help me move on

On on on

And on

And on

There’s friends for life and acquaintances

There’s romance from great distances

There’s been so many casualties

But I cannot wallow over these

I know
