Hot On The Heels Of Heartbreak Lyrics - Beautiful South

If you could pull yourself away from that mess 

Surely if you could pack a punch then you can pack a dress 

'Cause hot on the trail of self pity is wilderness 

Like hot on the heels of heartbreak is happiness 

It's an upward struggle just to be yourself (To be yourself) 

And if I climb too far I'll end up on the shelf 

When sorry's have been said and tears, tears have dried 

I'm still the easy route to easy ride 

If you could just have a good word with yourself 

Convince yourself you're you and no-one else 

Restore your confidence and your pride 

A soldier don't need no-one by their side

It seems as though there's only me to blame (Me To Blame) 

Pushover, must be my middle name 

Just because he flushed love down the drain 

Doesn't mean your little heart can't be reclaimed 

If you could just have a good word with yourself 

Convince yourself you're you and no-one else 

Restore your confidence and your pride 

A soldier don't need no-one by their side 

And I know that what I've chosen's second best 

And if the passport was there then I'd say yes 

But departure leaves a fully feathered nest 

This easy bird is easily impressed 

This easy bird is easily impressed 

Your little wings broken, nest destroyed 

The love that he talked of, null and void 

If you knew you were a plaything with which they toyed 

Your little heart would now be the employed

Next time I choose to love I'll take good aim 

Miss out on his sweet talk and his blame 

Then when I miss the target you can't complain 

It's only the sure-shot actually feels the pain 

It's only the sure-shot actually feels the pain 

It's only the sure-shot actually feels the pain
