The Hearts Filthy Lesson (Live at the Phoenix Festival, Long Marston, 20th July, 1997) Lyrics

Here’s an golden oldie from the Outside album. It’s called Hearts filthy lesson

There's always the diamond friendly, sitting in the Laugh motel. The heart's filthy lesson, with her hundred miles to hell

Oh, Ramona, if there was only something between us. If there was only something between us, other than our clothes

Something in our skies. Something in our skies
Something in our blood. Something in our skies
Oh Paddy. Paddy? Paddy? Who's been wearing Miranda's clothes?

It's the heart's filthy lesson. Heart's filthy lesson
Heart's filthy lesson. Falls upon deaf ears
(Heart's filthy lesson)
It's the heart's filthy lesson. Heart's filthy lesson
Heart's filthy lesson. Falls upon deaf ears. Falls upon deaf ears

(Heart's filthy lesson. Fall upon deaf ears.) (Heart's filthy lesson. Heart's filthy lesson.)

Oh Ramona, if there was only some kind of future
Oh Ramona, If there was only some kind of future
And these cerulean skies

Something in our skies. Something in our skies
Something in our blood. Something in our skies

Paddy. Paddy? Paddy will you carry me, I think I've lost my way. (Heart's filthy lesson, heart's filthy lesson.)
I'm already five years older, I'm already in my grave. I'm already (heart's filthy lesson, heart's filthy lesson.)
I'm already. I'm already (heart's filthy lesson, heart's filthy lesson) Will you carry me?

Oh Paddy, I think I've lost my way. Paddy, what a fantastic death abyss. Paddy, what a fantastic death abyss (heart's filthy lesson)

It's the heart's filthy lesson (Paddy) Tell the others. (Heart's filthy lesson) It's the heart's filthy lesson (Paddy). What a fantastic death abyss
Tell the others (heart's filthy lesson). It's the heart's filthy lesson

Oh Ramona can you hear me? Oh Ramona…
