Sing With Blondie ~Heart of Glass~

I always have tried to sing along with this song but Blondie’s sort of mumbling the words. So I finally looked up the lyrics. Now we can sing along LOL. I remember driving through the country of Champaign County Illinois when I was little with my mom or dad and this song would come on. We would be near Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul IL. That base is closed down and the whole town of Rantoul is like the ghetto. When the base closed people went and bought houses cheap and trailer courts sprang up all over the place.. seriously not a good town to live in now. I avoid it like the plague and am up in the far north Chicago Suburbs…. I grew up in Champaign (U of I) with memories of friends, corn fields and U of I campus parties.

Anyway, here is Blondie.

Heart of Glass
Blondie

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love’s gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love’s gone behind

In between
What I find is pleasing and I’m feeling fine
Love is so confusing there’s no peace of mind
If I fear I’m losing you it’s just no good
You teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love’s gone behind

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I’m the one you’re using, please don’t push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love’s true bluish light

In between
What I find is pleasing and I’m feeling fine
Love is so confusing there’s no peace of mind
If I fear I’m losing you it’s just no good
You teasing like you do
