My Heart Is Pinned To Your Sleeve

from Moon Country by The High Dials

/

lyrics

You wonder why they stare

It’s the gruesome thing you wear
It’s the part of me you took

And now it’s part of your look

It’s an awful thing that you and I have done

I pinned it like a flower, not knowing you would run

But it’s too late to change things now
My heart, my heart is pinned to your sleeve

Whatever you wish or believe

All the boys you’re meeting, they can hear it beating

My heart, my heart is pinned to your sleeve

It’s a thing I can never retrieve

I can still see the seams where I stitched up my dreams
Now all my passion is so much fashion

You will wear it out tonight

It will shine its secret light

All that heartache, is that all it makes?

A tattered ribbon on your arm

A badge of broken beauty

Take it, please
My heart is pinned to your sleeve

The High Dials are an indie pop band from Montreal.
While their melodic sensibility, harmonies and jangling guitars owe an obvious debt to the 60s and power pop groups, they also draw upon shoegaze, new wave and folk sounds to create rich and varied albums.
