Squeeze - Another Nail For My Heart lyrics

She made a call to a sympathetic friend

And made arrangements

The door was closed, there was a note

I couldn't be bothered

Maybe I'll choke, no more engagements

With "where-have-you-beens?"

And far away frowns

Trying to be good by not being 'round

And here in the bar

The piano man's found

Another nail for my heart

That stupid old bug

That kills only love

I want to be good

Is that not enough?

So play me the song

That makes it so tough

Another nail for my heart

Then play me the song

That makes it so tough

Another nail for my heart

I had excuses, those little boy lies

That she computed by watching my eyes

And told me firmly

She couldn't stand it, I'm bad on her heart

She dropped her make-up and I found the bar

Now it concerns me

I've had a bad time

Now love is resigned

I've been such a fool

I've loved and goodbyed

So here in the bar

The piano man's found

Another nail for my heart

And here in the bar

The piano man's found

Another nail for my heart
