Heart Full Of Holes Lyrics - Kill To Get Crimson - Mark Knopfler

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 through the week 

leave your pledges with me to redeem 

Some folk sell their bodies 

for ten bob a go 

Politicians go pawning their souls 

Which doesn't make me 

look too 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 the movement 

all over the place 

and a heart full of holes 

A heart full of holes 

A heart full of holes

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Brass knuckles and banjos 

are out on the town 

at the knees-up 

in Teddy Boys' 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 the door 

A clarinet squeals to be free 

Accordions hop 

from the shelves to the floor - 

start playing their polkas to me 

Photos 

There's a ringing of bells 

a dunderhead's curse 

Fingers 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 girls 

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 go 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
