Mongrel Heart Lyrics
Is it hard to wait?
Drawn by your mongrel heart again
If they don't answer, would you want to be found out?
You duck through the wind in your old blight on the town
Love is turning you out
Sliding worry round
I try to warn its waiting game
To bring that spectre down
Would it be wrong
To clamp down on your racing heart? Love
And if they'd known, what sifted down to be found out?
It's not what you deserve
Love is turning you out
Sliding worry round
I try to warn its waiting game
To bring that spectre down
Faster than you were going to allow
Turn out the lights or say get out
If you don't answer, would you want to be found, love?
Five days on, trapped by a wave
Love is turning you out
Sliding worry round
I try to warn this waiting game
To bring that spectre down
Back from the sulking
You'll be cut down in the seedy stairway
If you don't answer, would you want to be found now?
Sapped from the bed to the window
Looking back on that time
Starting in the minds
What it is to be twenty nine
Fame sets your life down
Would it be wrong
Would it be wrong
To disappoint you now
Disappoint you now
Drawn by your mongrel heart again
If they don't answer, would you want to be found out?
You duck through the wind in your old blight on the town
Sliding worry round
I try to warn its waiting game
To bring that spectre down
To clamp down on your racing heart? Love
And if they'd known, what sifted down to be found out?
It's not what you deserve
Sliding worry round
I try to warn its waiting game
To bring that spectre down
Turn out the lights or say get out
If you don't answer, would you want to be found, love?
Five days on, trapped by a wave
Sliding worry round
I try to warn this waiting game
To bring that spectre down
You'll be cut down in the seedy stairway
If you don't answer, would you want to be found now?
Sapped from the bed to the window
Starting in the minds
What it is to be twenty nine
Fame sets your life down
Would it be wrong
To disappoint you now
Disappoint you now

this song has a really creepy vibe to it, I think it would make an amazing music video, if done correctly.
I think it may be "back from the sulking" rather than "black corn was soaking"
Well, mongrel means a cross between different things. "Is it hard to wait? Drawn by your mongrel heart again" Probably about sex. "Would it be wrong To clamp down on your racing heart, love?" The phrase "clamp down" means to become more strict. I think its about control. He wants to control her wild heart.
I may be totally off, but could this have something to do with sex? Like a girl who wants to be loved, so she sells her body in a way. The line that made me think that was
"faster than you were going to allow turn out the lights or say get out"
maybe i'm completely wrong....
Close, I don't think she is selling her body. I believe the person is desperately trying to find love, however can't find anyone that will love her back. I think that line has to do with her making the ultimatum that if someone isn't going to love her, they may as well leave because she is too fragile to commit to someone who won't commit back.
