In an office two miles underground   They can't tell night from day   Secretaries typing errors of judgement   In eternally full in-trays   Phones ring in, get put on hold   Well I'm just waiting for my nails to dry   I was coming unstuck with nothing to show   You stuck to him like felt on velcro   But now he's gone solo   He's taken all the amps, smashed the bedside lamp   Taken all the lightbulbs and the decorative wheelclamps   You got a dark dark dark heart   It's the heart of darkness      Now you live in a filing cabinet   You're another painful smiling face   What you had doesn't even have the grace   To be forgotten without a trace   It lies, it cheats, it moans, it bleats   Almost human in every detail   In this stinking room, no-one goes to bed   There's nothing to say that hasn't been said   It's not enough to wish you were dead   You had the last laugh but he didn't know why   He jumped out the window, man, he thought he could fly   You got a dark dark dark heart   It's the heart of darkness      Look at your body well you're lying still   There's a smile across your face   At the funeral yesterday   Your corpse looked out of place   You looked like death to the gathered throng   But I knew you were laughing inside   Something about your sense of humour   Based on innuendo and rumour   You were the ultimate consumer   I took all your things, I threw away your wedding rings   You had a big collection, baby, now they don't look so   Fetching   You got a dark dark dark heart   It's the heart of darkness      It's 4 am inside my mind   But it's dusk out on the street   The lamps are burning fireflies   Who couldn't stand the heat   I got cool bed linen, baby   So the story should be complete   But somewhere in the back of behind   There's a light that makes me feel unkind   Those stupid things I made you sign   It ain't deus ex machina   It's not some soul subpoena   It's just when things mean nothing it makes you meaner   You got a dark dark dark heart   It's the heart of darkness
