Heart To Hang Onto

Rose of Sharon
Johnny boy, he's always propping up the bar
He sees life crystallized through his jar
He says he only lives for beer
But deep in his heart is a cry of fear

Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a soul that's tailored new
Give me a heart to hang onto
A heart to hang onto

--Pete Townshend, "Heart To Hang Onto" from the album Rough Mix with Ronnie Lane
