Where was your heart (when you needed it most)


You're time wasting again
Biting your nails like you were sixteen
Putting up your little walls
When emotion's around
Leave your little heart
In the lost and found
Your friends would die laughing
If they saw you this way
Even though they cry the same tears every day
Where was your heart
When you needed it most?
Hand in hand with your innocence
Gave up the ghost

But it doesn't do to tell
You're at your best
When you're living hell
Just put on your hard face
You know you do that so well
Thank god you wore
Your waterproof make up today
And who gives a damn about him anyway?
To him you're a body
And to hell with the mind
But you get the same stick from his type all the time
Just a couple of drinks
And they've got you tonight
And you know the sad thing
Is that they're often right

Where was your heart
When you needed it most?
Hand in hand with your innocence
Gave up the ghost

They take hold of your heart
And they spit it right out
Make a show of their conquest
When their friends are about
Your ego deflated
You gave up the fight
And became the good time had by all every night

And where was your heart
When you needed it most?
Hand in hand with your innocence
Gave up the ghost

No comfort of beds
Or the softness of sheets
Just the back of a car
Sprawled across the back seats
And he'll just not give up
And he's messed up your head
A dish in the disco
But a pig in the bed

So you build up a false love affair anyway
Photocopy soap opera stories all day
Where it all ends up fine
And it all ends in church
And the girl looks like you
And she never really gets hurt

And where was your heart
When you needed it most?
Hand in hand with your innocence
Gave up the ghost

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 

The lyrics WHERE WAS YOUR HEART (WHEN YOU NEEDED IT MOST) of SOFT CELL is also present in the album This last night in sodom (1984)

Biography

Soft Cell is an English synthpop duo that rose to prominence in the early 1980s. The group consists of vocalist Marc Almond and David Ball, responsible for synthesizers. Their international fame is due to the global success of 1981 with a reworked version of Gloria Jones' "Tainted Love". While this song was Soft Cell's only Top 40 hit in the United States, the duo achieved ten top forty hits in the UK charts, including "Bedsitter", "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye", "Torch" and "What!". They also released four albums that charted within the top twenty in the UK between 1981 and 1984. Other notable hits by the duo include "Where The Heart Is", "Numbers", "Down In The Subway", "Soul Inside" and "The Night". Soft Cell disbanded in 1984, but reunited in the early 2000s for tours and released a new album in 2002.
