There’s a machine inside my chest Made up of spare and busted parts The wires are loose; the circuit’s a mess It’s as if it were built in the dark There’s a machine inside my chest I pretend that it’s steel and hard as stone But a fuse will blow, and it seems as though The whole thing was made to be broken Oh, Oh, Oh Everyone’s finding their way Oh, Oh, Oh I keep making mistakes Oh, Oh, Oh I want a heart that never Aches, aches That never breaks, breaks That never aches, aches I’ve seen them before I want a heart like everyone else Oh, do they make them like that anymore? There’s a machine inside my chest Fickle and flawed for all to see And as hard as I try to know it the best There’s no knowing a mystery Oh, Oh, Oh It could be state of the art Oh, Oh, Oh It just needs someone to start it Oh, Oh, Oh I want a heart that never Aches, aches That never breaks, breaks That never aches, aches I’ve seen them before I want a heart like everyone else Oh, do they make them like that anymore?

You’re slowly sinking under piles of unwashed clothes Watching the tv glow How many times will you call her phone Hoping she’ll pick up, knowing she won’t But here I am at your front door Whenever you need me, whenever you call Wondering whether You see me at all See me at all You’re keeping em closed Open your eyes If love stood there ten feet tall Would you see me at all What if I died my hair and changed my name Hung out with the naughty girls until 3 am What would you think if I pulled a Sandra D Could you see me as any more than a friend Coz here I am at your front door Whenever you need me, whenever you call Wondering whether You see me at all See me at all You’re keeping em closed Open your eyes If love stood here ten feet tall Would you see me at all All this time, what have I got to show While I’m getting to know you better? They say love is blind I guess that I might as well resign It’s getting too hard to tell you As I fall, wondering whether….

It’s the little things about you How you’d part your hair and shine your shoes And wink at me with your baby blues You wooed me with the little things you would do It's the little things about you The way you hold my hand in your sleep Like a secret you’ll always keep Just the little things that you do There are storms on Venus and fire on mars And Saturn is circled by rings All things considered I still prefer The greatness of the little things Coz the little things grow so tall When you give them time to take it slow Til you’re counting fingers and kissing toes And only the little things count at all There are storms on Venus and fire on mars And Saturn is circled by rings All things considered I still prefer The greatness of the little things

about

Keppie Coutts Sydney, Australia

Blend the mellow tones of Norah Jones with the quirky pop of Feist and the fire of Ani DiFranco into a Chagall painting, and you get Keppie Coutts. Keppie's tunes are earthy, sophisticated, and direct - heart-squeezing, uplifting, and sometimes hilarious. ... more
