A 3/4 time, guitar driven waltz that puns along with an Andalusian cadence on the ambiguity of heart-trouble: literal heart-trouble and metaphoric trouble in love.

Lyrics

Heart Trouble

Pulse is racing
Body’s shaking
My poor heart is beating like the clappers right now

Perspiration
Palpitations
Beads of sweat collect on my brow

Oh, my baby!
She’s not
One for confrontation
Difficult situations
Just make her feel sad
Complications are bad
At the first sign of trouble
She is gone, gone, gone

Shortness of breath
Tightness in chest
Feel my heart fail
Of loneliness

Baby’s gone away and
I am on my own again

Feeling feeble
Pins and needles
Palpitations
Medications
Heart trouble since she left

Shallow breathing
Lungs are bleeding
I feel them fill-up with fluid and phlegm

Temperature’s rising
Lord almighty!
My poor heart’s beats like a steam engine!

Oh, my baby!
She’s not
One for loyalty
She’s a fair-weather friend
She scarpers, absconds
When life gets gnarly
Like a good time Charlie
She’s gone, gone, gone

Shortness of breath
Tightness in chest
Feel my heart fail
Of loneliness

Baby’s gone away and
I am on my own again

Feeling feeble
Pins and needles
Palpitations
Medications
Heart trouble since she left

Yes, I take you
You’re my bride
I’m your groom
To have and to hold
From this day on
For better, for worse
In riches, or poor
In sickness and in health

Shortness of breath
Tightness in chest
Feel my heart fail
Of loneliness

Baby’s gone away and
I am on my own again

Feeling feeble
Pins and needles
Palpitations
Medications
Heart trouble since she left

Heart trouble
Double trouble
Ache of the heart

And

Heart trouble
Double trouble,
Ache of the heart
And heart ache
