The reversed piano sample was taken from the middle of my little piano instrumental, which I plan to transcribe and put up here soon.
Lyrics
Give me your pennies, I'll keep them here right in my heart.
None of my customers have been disappointed so far.
All of the ventricles have grown exponentially large
From all of these things I am carrying round in my heart.
In my heart.
In my heart.
Back off gentlemen, make your way back to to the bar.
Come strolling in like you think I don't know who you are.
Abandon your gallantry. Just leave me your fee at the door.
Cos the price on my head is too high and yet more for my heart.
For my heart.
For my heart.
Give me your pennies, I'll keep them right here in my heart.
Call up the hospital. Tell them I'll send a reward.
My chest is so heavy I'm finding it harder to walk
From all of these people I'm dragging around in my heart.
In my heart.
In my heart.
Quotes
"When I wrote this, conceptually I was feeling like a bit of a whore. This was a live piece: I wrote it with this image in my mind of me standing under a spotlight, looking out into a venue, playing my set and basically saying "I'm telling you my secrets, I'm telling you who I am. Now pay me". It's an odd concept. I'd also just found myself having a relaxed lunch with a woman I'd believed was evil for a very long time. I thought "You've got to let go of the people who have hurt you. OK, be mad about what they did, but let them go". It's a song that's saying "I don't need to be saved"."
