Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's always the diamond friendly

Sitting in the Laugh Hotel

The hearts filthy lesson

With her hundred miles to hell

[Verse 2]

Oh, Ramona

If there was only something between us

If there was only something between us

Other than our clothes

[Verse 3]

Something in our skies

Something in our skies

Something in our blood

Something in our skies

[Verse 4]

Paddy

Paddy

Who's been wearing Miranda's clothes?

[Verse 5]

It's the hearts filthy lesson

Heart's filthy lesson

Heart's filthy lesson

Falls upon deaf ears

(Heart's filthy lesson)

It's the hearts filthy lesson

Heart's filthy lesson

Heart's filthy lesson

Falls upon deaf ears

(Heart's filthy lesson)

Falls upon deaf ears

(Heart's filthy lesson)

(Heart's filthy lesson)

(Heart's filthy lesson)

[Verse 6]

Oh, Ramona

If there was only some kind of future

Oh, Ramona

If there was only some kind of future

And these cerulean skies

[Verse 7]

Something in our skies

Something in our skies

Something in our blood

Something in our skies

[Verse 8]

Paddy?

Paddy?

[Verse 9]

Paddy, will you carry me?

I think I've lost my way

(Heart's filthy lesson)

(Heart's filthy lesson)

I'm already five years older

I'm already in my grave

I'm already

(Heart's filthy lesson)

(Heart's filthy lesson)

[Verse 10]

I'm already

I'm already

(Heart's filthy lesson)

(Heart's filthy lesson)

[Verse 11]

Will you carry me?

Oh, Paddy

I think I've lost my way

[Verse 12]

Paddy

What a fantastic death abyss

Paddy

What a fantastic death abyss

(Heart's filthy lesson)

It's the hearts filthy lesson

Tell the others

[Verse 13]

(Heart's filthy lesson)

It's the hearts filthy lesson

(What a fantastic dance)

I'll tell ya (Heart's filthy lesson)

It's the hearts filthy lesson

Paddy

What a fantastic death (Heart's filthy lesson)

It's the hearts filthy lesson
