Courtney Barnett "Heavy Heart"
Thanks so much for having us here. This is a real honor, obviously.
Cheers
And...it's super cool. So...I thought I'd do this, a cover of a song that I've hardly ever done.
Cheers and applause
But it's a risk I'm willing to take. For you guys.

Cheers and applause
Okay. So... So, it's a song by an Australian band called You Am I. It's called "Heavy Heart." It's my favorite song, so I hope you like it.
Intro plays
Been watching so much TV I'm thinner than I should be I'm like a waterlogged ball no one wants to kick around anymore An all-day morning hairdo That no comb can get through It's all granola and beer And a calling card and a silk-cut souvenir I miss you like sleep There's nothing romantic about the hours I keep And it's the morning when it starts I don't look so smart Now I got a heavy heart Talk a lot about football Girls we kissed in grade four I piss off my friends I'm digging a hole, just staring at the floor Every T-shirt's got a wine stain I'm lovin' cigarettes again I know every tune about guys and girls And hurts and hearts and moons I miss you like sleep There's nothing romantic about the hours I keep And it's the morning when it starts I don't look so good Now I've got a heavy heart
Scattered cheers
It's just a low-rent-paying, palpitating puff inside my shirt But there's a way it's sitting so hard God, it hurts O-h-h-h Oooooooh Been watching so much TV I'm thinner than I should be I'm like a waterlogged ball no one wants to kick around anymore I miss you like sleep There's nothing romantic about the hours I keep And it's the morning when it starts O-h-h-h My heavy heart
Song ends, cheers and applause
