This is a song from a set of lyrics posted up by a guy called Harris Tobias. Doesn't do any music, only lyrics, so was looking for the full package on this one.
I loved the idea of the song so much that it just developed in no time at all.
Nigel came on board with drums and Mauro with his beautiful Weissenborn slide guitar.
The rest is me. Acoustic and electric guitars, bass, vocals and production.

Can You Re-cycle a Heart
by Harris Tobias

(Intro)
You told me you loved me then said you were wrong
You said that you acted in haste
Now that you’re singing a whole different song
You’re treating me like toxic waste

(Chorus)
There’s a bin for plastic and another for glass
And there’s one for brown paper bags
You can re-cycle newspapers, iron and brass
And they’ll happily bundle your rags
They’ll take your computer
They’ll take your old car
And cheerfully take them apart
But what can you do when your baby leaves you
Can you re-cycle a heart?

Can you re-cycle a heart?
Can you re-cycle a heart?
A heart isn’t something you
Toss in a dumpster you
Don’t put it out to the curb
A love’s something special
It’s deep in the flesh it’ll
Tear you apart with a word
You can’t take a man
Throw his love in the can and
Then walk away from his dream
You should treat him more gentle
More environmental
Not part of the solid waste stream

There’s a bin for plastic and another for glass...

Can you re-cycle a heart?

Can you re-cycle a heart?
A heart’s something fragile
It needs to imagine you’ll
Be someone on whom it depends
Not tossed in the compost
Like yesterday’s french toast
But someone who’s there til the end
So if my heart’s bent or
Slightly off center
That doesn’t mean throw it away
For time can’t repair
A heart that’s not there
And love simply doesn’t decay

There’s a bin for plastic and another for glass...

Folk music at its best - simple, contemporary, humorous, catchy. First rate sing-along material! :;

Really enjoyed this. You're very clearly right in the grove with these songs lately.

Thanks Oren ... I had a feeling that you would like the 'environmentally sound' principle here.
And thanks, Will.  Although I prefer to be in the groove than fooling about amongst the trees  >:D
