Heavy Heart

Today's post takes it's name from the You Am I tune Heavy Heart... I'm pretty sure that they lyrics are about missing a partner when you're working night/pub shifts vs normal working hours of your partner, or perhaps after dragging yourself home yet again from another soulless night drinking over losing the love of your life?

Alas for me it's a theme song to describe how and when the depression hits me hardest, scrabbling to cling to happier memories of other times. I'm maudlin and melancholy. Enjoy the song, it's not as bad as I make it out to be.

Anyway here are the lyrics.
You Am I - Heavy Heart.

Been watching so much TV
I'm thinner than I should be
I'm like a waterlogged ball
That no-one wants to kick around anymore
An all day morning hair-do
That no comb can get through
It's all granola and beer
A calling card and a silk cut souvenir
I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning when it starts
I don't look so sharp
Now I got a heavy heart

I talk a lot about football
And girls I kissed in Grade 4
I piss off my friends
And digging a hole just staring at the floor
Now every t-shirt's got a wine stain
I'm loving cigarettes again
I know every tune about guys and girls
and hurts and hearts and moans

I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning when it starts
I don't look so good
Now I got a heavy heart

It's just a low rent paying, palpitating pulp under my shirt
But there's a weight that's sitting
Oh God it hurts
Oh God it hurts

Been watching so much TV
I'm thinner than I should be
I'm like a waterlogged ball
That no-one wants to kick around anymore

I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning when it starts
Oh my heavy heart
