Heart Full of Soul
The Yardbirds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sick at heart and lonely
Deep in dark despair
Thinking one thought only
"Where is she, tell me where?"

And if she says to you
She don't love me
Just give her my message
Tell her of my plea

And I know
Well, if she had me back again
Oh, I would never make her sad
I've got a heart full of soul

And I know
If she had me back again
Oh, I would never make her sad
I've got a heart full of soul

She's been gone such a long time
Longer than I can bear
But if she says she wants me
Tell her that I'll be there

And if she says to you
She don't love me
Just give her my message
Tell her of my plea

And I know
Well, if she had me back again
Oh, I would never make her sad
I've got a heart full of soul

No smoke – no gouts of fire – no descending from the ceiling on wires – just great music.

@tunnelportterror

Yeh but they're lip synching and miming , not really performing

@cajjono2848

@grmgt

There are talented musicians that use pyrotechnics and there are talented ones that don't*, those things aren't mutually exclusive lol

@hendrikdebruin4012

@@tunnelportterror Well at some stage they did perform. Today nobody performs it is all computers and sound generators. The humans are only there as an afterthought. And if you are female to be the biggest tart you dare to be.
