Coal Black Heart - Ed Harcourt

There’s a scarecrow in the field

But it don’t scare those crows away

I’m so happy on my own at home

I listen to the static of my record player

Sometimes you have to have a break

Feed the ducks out on the lake

All I want to do is make you smile

But I’m not that funny and I can’t seem to stay awake

Coal black heart that is as lifeless as a statue in the Royal Academy of Art

I saw your face in the mirror

Memories of a bygone era

Coal black heart that is as lifeless as a statue in the Royal Academy of Art

I saw your face in the mirror

Memories of a bygone era

I was as blue as the Caspian Sea

Hanging out in my vicinity

Got a feeling this will end, so soon

You’re moving to the San Francisco scene

Crimson heart that’s as lifeless as a statue in the Royal Academy of Art

I need to know that you’re happy

I need to know that you’re happy

Crimson heart that is beating in my ear and I don’t know where to start

I need to know that you’re happy

I need to know that you’re happy

Oooh (x8)
