When a heart is broken, it still goes on pumping.

Llevo estos últimos días escuchando sin parar una canción. Se llama "He'd be a diamond" y originalmente es de The Bevis Frond, pero la versión que me trae de cabeza desde hace un tiempo es la de mis adorados Teenage Fanclub. Qué voces, qué manera de cantar... Se me escapa la lagrimina cada vez que la oigo, no lo puedo evitar!

When the tape runs out,

the music keeps playing

When the walls come down,

it's still hard to cross the line

When his love is gone,

he says he still needs her

And he wants to let you know,

that if he had his chance again

He'd be a diamond

When you dab your eyes,

your tears keep on falling

When you blow your nose,

it still gets blocked up and runs

And though you feel like shit,

he says you look beautiful

And he swears by all the saints,

that if he had his chance again

He'd be a diamond

Is he lying to get what he wants

Or does he mean it this time

Is he running low on affection

And beer and dope , and an ironing board

And an unpaid analyst who shags

When you turn your back,

you still see what's behind you

When you start afresh,

you still think of days gone by

When a heart is broken,

it still goes on pumping

And he told me just last night,

that if he had his chance again

He'd be a diamond.
