Heart Of The Matter |
| No one can hold a light to your misery |
| You’re the number one |
| Being hard done |
| Hard done by |
| You’ll get by with your smile |
| Wicked smile and laughing at the misfortune of others |
| You gotta get your kicks |
| Kicking the pricks |
| Laughing as they pick up sticks |
| And old ladies walks on by |
| Trip up as they glide |
| With all the battering it’s taken |
| I’m surprised it’s still ticking |
| Yeah with all the battering it’s taken |
| I’m surprised it’s still ticking |
| Let’s get straight to the heart of the matter |
| So glum, it’s all on a platter |
| So what’s the matter, what’s the matter today? |
| I am no stranger to the coals |
| I carry them in my soul |
| They scorch my flesh and leave great holes |
| In the meaning of my life |
| But I get by, I get by |
| Just as crooked little smile |
| You’ll get by, you’ll get by |
| You’ll get by |
| With all the battering it’s taken |
| Well, I’m surprised that it’s still ticking |
| Yeah, with all the battering it has taken |
| I’m surprised it’s still ticking |
| Let’s get straight to the heart of the matter |
| So glum, it’s all on a platter |
| So what’s the matter, what’s the matter today? |
| Oh let’s get straight to the heart of the matter |
| Why so glum it’s all on the platter |
| What’s the matter tell me what’s the matter today? |
| So hold a light to my misery |
| But don’t send it up in flames |
| It’s only I who’d take the blame |
| But try me anyway |
| And you’ll get by you’ll get by |
| With your wicked little smile |
| You’ll get by, you’ll get by with your wicked little |
| Ohhhh |
| With the battering it’s taken |
| I’m surprised that it’s still ticking |
| Yeah with all the battering it’s taken |
| I’m surprised it’s still ticking |
| Let’s get straight to the heart of the matter |
| Oh why so glum, it’s all on a platter |
| Oh what’s the matter, what’s the matter today? |
| Let’s get straight to the heart of the matter |
| Why so glum, it’s all on a platter |
| Oh what’s the matter it’s the glory hallelujah day |
| Straight to the heart of the matter |
| Why so glum, it’s all on a platter |
| Oh what’s the matter, what’s the matter today? |
| Let’s get straight! |
