Hammering Heart Lyrics by Del Amitri

Hammering Heart Lyrics

    I suppose love lives in a dustbin behind the garden wall
    You have to grovel on the ground and be pretty disgusting
    To find it at all
    And i suppose that it grows on you
    Standing there with no clothes on,
    And i suppose because there's beautiful girls in this town
    I'll stay here till i've chosen one.
    I suppose life's like a hunt, really: the hounds have fun
    Until the fox gets bagged
    And not one girl in this town will ever fall in love with me:
    They'll get dragged.

    Her heart speaks to me; says the room the room the room
    Beneath her dress, and i suppose that it beats for me
    Like a hammering moon pulling tides through her chest
    Suppose she says that she owes me
    All that she owns and all that she is
    It seems to me i suppose that her heart's not enough
    And her love is a swizz.

    So suppose love lives in a mansion
    How the hell do i get over the wall?
    And if my rope's not stretched the right tension
    I won't cross this grand canyon at all.
    And i suppose that it grows like a tumor, spreads like a rumor
    Like the grass grows and inch every day
    And i suppose that before i even know it, the tide will start flowing
    And the drum beneath my jacket will say:

    You know you need her everyday
    She is the moon and she showed me her face
    She is the house and she opened the gates
