Potato heart
David Brown and George Smith

For all the lies he pitched
For all the endless bullshit
She pressed in some lips

For every tear she cried
For all the washed-with-pants pride
She pushed in an eye

She pinned a face upon his potato heart
He had no love in his blood – just starch

She took two plastic ears
Pushed them like Sweet Corn handles
So his heart could hear

And then finally
A great big pink Durante
For pure comedy

She pinned a face upon his potato heart
He had no love in his blood – just starch

Now if he’s ever hurt
He’ll know the pain of laughter
In his King Edward

And maybe he will see
That when a broken heart bleeds
It’s love that it needs
