Lloyd Cole - The Steady Slowing Down Of The Heart Lyrics
Moonlight shines on you and meGot the sailors back from the seaYou try sleeping but all that you hear isThe steady slowing down of my heartIts not that you get lazyIts not about getting oldIts not that you get up in the morningWishing you never wokeThe car I drive is built to lastIt does not go particularly fastIm in no great hurry is that caused of the effect ofThe steady slowing down of my heartIts not that I got lazyIts not about getting oldCause theres no miracle cure for getting used to someoneAnd now jimmy spends a fortune because hes down to twice a weekHis shrink says a crisis in midlife is only natural well, well, well,Julie got a facelift you know shes only 33Jesus, may I give thanks to brigitte bardotYou try sleeping now that all that you hearIs the steady slowing down of my heartIts not that I got lazyIts not that I got oldIts just theres no miracle cure you knowTo getting used to someoneThe moonlight shines on you and meBrings the sailors back from the seaAs I lie sleeping down my sideAll that you hear isThe steady slowing down of my heartIts not that you get lazyIts not about getting oldIts not that you get up in the morning and wish you never wokeBut then julie was aroused by jimmys lack of self esteemThe shrink says when a man takes a mistress its often helpfulWell, well, well jimmy asked for heaven she was happy to abligeHis shrink said guess this was a bad year to quit smoking
