The Steady Slowing Down Of The Heart - Lyrics by Lloyd Cole


Lyrics

Moonlight shines on you and me
Got the sailors back from the sea
You try sleeping but all that you hear is
The steady slowing down of my heart
It's not that you get lazy
It's not about getting old
It's not that you get up in the morning
Wishing you never woke
The car i drive is built to last
It does not go particularly fast
I'm in no great hurry is that caused of the effect of
The steady slowing down of my heart
It's not that i got lazy
It's not about getting old
Cause there's no miracle cure for getting used to someone
And now jimmy spends a fortune because he's down to twice a week
His shrink says a crisis in midlife is only natural well, well, well,
Julie got a facelift you know she's only 33
Jesus, may i give thanks to brigitte bardot
You try sleeping now that all that you hear
Is the steady slowing down of my heart
It's not that i got lazy
It's not that i got old
It's just there's no miracle cure you know
To getting used to someone
The moonlight shines on you and me
Brings the sailors back from the sea
As i lie sleeping down my side
All that you hear is
The steady slowing down of my heart
It's not that you get lazy
It's not about getting old
It's not that you get up in the morning and wish you never woke
But then julie was aroused by jimmy's lack of self esteem
The shrink says when a man takes a mistress it's often helpful
Well, well, well jimmy asked for heaven she was happy to ablige
His shrink said guess this was a bad year to quit smoking
