So long ago and far away (at some point between 1976 and 1982), Robyn Hitchcock and the Soft Boys did a cover of Elvis' "That's When Your Heartache Begins". It's pretty par for the course, except for a talkie-bit bridge Robyn throws in. I did some E-Searching to try to find a transcription online, but to no avail. So, as a little helpful hand for future generations who might try to Google it up, I transcribed it.
PS: Well, blast. Seems like I just didn't check well enough.
If you find your sweetheart,
Lying...not too far away from the arm of your very best friend.
Brother? That's...that's when your heartaches really begin.
And when every one of those tiny little dreams that you've nourished like a potted plant and kept treasured away somewhere in the hothouse of your psyche, one by one are taken out and dismantled by some clod-hoppered fiend you thought was the one you could trust and borrow things off and lend things to in turn, without you just...lending things to and him not getting anything back; well, that's really when you know things are out to mess you up, isn't it?
..Don't answer me back, anyway..
Sock it, boys! (addressed to the band)
Because... Love. Is. A. Thing.
And it's a thing you can't share, you can't pass it around; two into one doesn't go unless you're happy with meager fractions and I, for one, am not. So if you think some crawling little two-bit reptile is sneaking up into the crevasses of the one you love? Hair, follicles, bone, sinew, tissue, nostrils, the whole bloody lot?
That..is the end (continue rest of song)
