sometime in the early days of the month, i said this title to myself in response to some messages that were littered with emoji.
filling in the lyrics for the title wasn't overly inspired, but i really wanted to sing the chorus.
there was a proposed alternate version where the
*** = AWM
but i just don't have the time or gumption right now.
there must be a heart character that works instead of ***, but whatever i had on my lyric sheet didn't survive the import over here.
childhood days and memories
feel like fairy tales
lives ago on the playground
pulling on the ponytails
ever since those days
never changed my ways
surreal sticky sweet
falling in love with each new face
down every unknown street
london, prague, amsterdam
whirling around the world
another wild night ~ another love song
about another nameless girl
mama said, easy on the f***ing hearts, child
easy on the f***ing hearts
someday it’s gonna come back to you
make ya wonder wherefore thou art
(she said), easy on the f***ing hearts, child
easy on the f***ing hearts
yeah, you’re having fun, but when the dealing’s done
make ya gonna have to play your cards... child
so much love ~ not much time
fake it when you’ve nothing to give
spillin’ it like johnny appleseed
pretty little life to live
talkin that talk and falkin that falk
walkin it all over the place
it’s been thoroughly discussed ~ ain’t nobody gonna trust
the pretty words comin outta your face
mama said, easy on the f***ing hearts, babe
easy on the f***ing hearts
you be throwing it around all over the place
like you bought it at the supermart
(she said), easy on the f***ing hearts, babe
easy on the f***ing hearts
if everybody gets your big ol’ valentine
ain’t nobody gonna tell ‘em apart, babe
spinning that big old world gets faster
everybody so afraid of the freeze
time after time ~ it seems divine
all the cardiomyopathies
too many women ~ too much wine
forgive me for my weary tone
lord, if you hear all my sad little songs
you’ll leave the poor hearts alone
i’m a-say, easy on the f***ing hearts, lord
easy on the f***ing hearts
someday it’s gonna come back to us
make us wonder wherefore thou art
i’m sayin’, easy on the f***ing hearts, lord
easy on the f***ing hearts
yeah, we’ve had our fun, but when the dealing’s done
make us gonna have to play our cards... lord

great rant! my only bone to pick would be the melody, which could use some contrast between verses and chorus.
otherwise great hook/concept and wonderfully developed lyrically :)

Raw rock. Great chorus. I can see why you wanted to sing it.

Topical title but very good lyric! Love the chorus!

Clever lyrics and great melody and vocals.
Really catchy and that chorus is gold

Best chorus in the universe

The guitar and vocals match so well. And so fitting for valentine's day. :-)
