Aussie Swing

lyrics

Shoddy Heart

Where’d he go?!
To every longitude and latitude
What’d he do?!
He smashed it up, he went looking for scrubbers
A young Aussie bloke addicted to the road

Through every dirty mattress and the bed bug bites
And the sound of the construction he would sleep so tight
And all the lonely planets and the sentimental things
He never got too attached because he knew it would sting

He delivered a shoddy heart to her
Praying that she wouldn’t shoot the messenger.

It was a sport for him it was a love for her
He broke every communication barrier
Through her Spanish dialect she was a perfect little thing
But he knew if he tried to love her, the sooner it’d sting

Through every little hostel he was paid in full
And all the duty-free stands in the terminal
Went back to the outback and never clung to a thing
The sooner you hold onto something, the sooner it stings
