Lyrics

HEARTSTRINGS


Lately I’ve been thinking
How greatly I abhor
The way you leave me listing
A day out from the shore
What used to be so simple
Simply isn’t any more
And it’s playing on the strings of my heart

This convoluted letter
Won’t tell you how I feel
I need to put it better
Then sign it and seal
I might neglect to send it
Depending on my mood
But it’s playing on the strings of my heart

CHORUS:
Lately I’ve been finding out
What loving you is all about
And frankly I can do without it

You set your expectations
A little too high
You’re way above your station
And I’m way below the line
And if that makes me the loser
Maybe that’s just fine
But it’s playing on the strings of my heart

CHORUS

Frankly I can do without this kind of love

CHORUS

Frankly I can do without this love

Trivia

When Garry first played Lyndon "Heartstrings", Lyndon immediately knew that he wanted to have a go at singing it because he really liked the song and thought he could "do something with it" . Usually the Mice sing lead vocals on their own songs but this one is an exception. Garry describes the song as being "about the uneasy feeling of becoming surplus to requirements".
