　　Take The Heartland-Glen Hansard

　　I'm gonna hide my heart behind the peacock's fan,

　　And keep my friends close real yeah this is how it's gonna go

　　I'm gonna find my knife and run it through those stitches,

　　Throw my friends down in the ditches before even

　　they know what I've come here for.

　　I set myself by the words by the voice that I heard.
