Mark Knopfler - Heart Full Of Holes Lyrics

Send "Heart Full Of Holes" ringtone to your cell

You can tell me your troubles

I'll listen for free.

My regulars trust me it seems.

You can come and see Uncle

To get trought the week

Leave your pledges with me to redeem.

Some folks sell their bodies

For ten bob and go.

Politicians go pawning their souls.

Which doesn't make me

Look to bad don't you know

Me with my heart full of holes.

All my yesterdays broken

A watch with no face

All battered and old.

Bits of movement

All over the place

And a heart full of holes.

A heart full of holes.

A heart full of holes.

Brass knuckles and banjos

Are out on the town

All the knees-up

In Teddy Boy's Row.

The gold block and tackle

Tells the time upside down.

Rock n' roll - well I don't know.

Dead people's wedding gifts

Walk out of the door.

A clarinet squeals to be free.

Accordions hop

From the shelves to the floor -

Start playing their polkas to me.

There's a ringing of bells

A dunderhead's curse.

Finger are pointing at you.

And you take work in hell

And be glad it's not worse

And you get to the back of the queue.

Handcuffs and hunting knives

Clang on the bars.

Air pistols shoot out the lights.

I've a whole Wailing Wall

Of electric guitars

Could shatter the windows

Down Brick Lane tonight.

If one of us dies love

I think i'll retire

See my boys and my beautiful girl.

A Garden of Eden

No gates or barbed wire

Who knows maybe gates made of pearls.

Well if we go to heaven

And some say we don't

But if there's a reckoning day

Please God I'll see you

And maybe I won't

I've a bag packed to go either way.

Redeeming your pledge dear

I'll keep it for you.

It's not going to anywhere.

But your soul your soul

That is not what I do.

There's not a lot I can do there

I remember the officer's watch

In my hand:

'Repair it or die' I was told

It's a wonder to me -

I still don't understand

Why I ever survived to be old

With a heart full of holes.

A heart full of holes.

A heart full of holes.
