Tell Tale heart

 Oh you have a telltale heart

Yes you have a telltale heart

I can hear it beat in the dark

Oh your tell tale heart


Bring me down to the old canal

Where the dockers work

And farmers pull the plough

Show me life in the here and now

Listen to your tell-tale heart


Show me up on the face of the moon

Let me see you in the reflection of a spoon

It is all about the cruel art

Of your tell-tale heart


The deception has gone

In old Babylon, the stone that spoke its part

Well the blood was dripping from the Stone of Scone

And it bled like your tell tale heart


The war rages on

And your thoughts may belong

To the lover and his arrow dart

Or is he the assassin with weapons of passion

That kill your tell tale heart

When the sheep bleat

You must discover your art

Yes to have a tell tale heart
