Afghan Whigs, The - If I Only Had A Heart Lyrics






When a man's an empty kettle
He should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presumin' that I could be kind of human
If I only had a heart
I'd be tender, I'd be gentle
And awful sentimental regarding love and art
I'd be friends with the sparrows
And the boy who shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart
Picture me a balcony
Above a voice sings low
"Wherefore art thou, Romeo?"
I hear a beat, how sweet

Just to register emotion, jealousy, devotion
And really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
And I'd lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart
A brain, a home, the nerve

    I love it because it's sad...... He didn't change the lyrics, they're pretty depressing anyway, just in the film it's disguised with happy music..... Perhaps this is closer to the spirit of it....
