One of Black greatest hits, back in the 80's.
I think my heart must be made of clay,
'cause everyone said it would be broken some day.
And now I've come to that fateful day,
So I sit on the floor
With my head in my hands.
And don't tell me how to make it pay,
I write a new song every day.
I just wish I was made of wood,
I might not feel pain,
Even if I should, even if I should,
If I should.
The sweetest smile that ever did
Melt the pats in the butter dish,
And if you could have believed in me,
I swear to God
I'd have made damn sure.
Our hearts were warm, and glad with wine.
I'd keep the doors locked all the time.
I just wish I was made of wood,
You might not seem glad,
Even if you should, even if you should,
If you should,
If you should,
If you should,
I think my heart must be made of clay,
'cause everyone said it would be broken some day.
Seems like I have come to that fateful day,
So I sit on the floor
With my head in my hands,
With my head in my hands.
If I should,
If I should,
If I should,
If I should...
CLAY= Cooked mud which is very breakable if you drop it (see picture)
CAUSE= (coll.) Because.
FATEFUL= The result of destiny; terrible and unavoidable.
HOW TO MAKE IT PAY= How to get some kind of benefit from it.
WOOD= The material trees are made of (see picture)
PAIN= Suffering.
MELT= If something solid melts, it becomes liquid.
PATS= Little pats of butter are little portions of butter (see picture)
DISH= Plate.
I SWEAR TO GOD= A very strong phrase announcing that what we are going to say is absolutely true (and may God punish us if we lie).
DAMN SURE= Very very sure.
GLAD= Cheerful, happy. If you are "glad with wine", you feel happy because you have drunk wine.
LOCKED= Closed using a key.
Metaphorically, if you “lock the doors” you don’t want to love anybody else (usually because you are traumatized from a past experience).
YOU MIGHT NOT SEEM GLAD= Perhaps you would look happy (MAY/MIGHT can be used to express probability).
EVEN IF= Although; but.
In this song, Black tries to express his feelings after his divorce. Sad, gloomy and beautiful song.
