LOST SONGS, Vol. 1: BERLIN

LIONS OF BERLIN

Flight of the Conchords - Think About it

A quick cowpunk story-song about a northerner who keeps hearing Southerners say “Bless your heart.” At first, he thinks it’s kindness — until he learns it’s really a backhanded burn. By the end, he’s tossing the phrase back with a grin in the Publix parking lot. Fast, funny, and pure Southern sarcasm set to twangy punk.

LYRICS
(c)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[Verse 1]
I came down south from a northern town,
With my hair too long and my windows down.
Asked a man at church what he thought of my car,
He smiled real sweet and said, “Bless your heart.”

[Chorus]
Bless your heart, bless your soul,
That’s how they say, “Boy, you don’t know.”
Sounds like kindness, sweet as pie,
But it’s just a southern way to say “nice try.”

[Verse 2]
Told ‘em up north I was workin’ freelance,
They laughed and said, “Son, you don’t stand a chance.”
Spoke my mind on politics, thought I was smart,
They patted my back and said, “Bless your heart.”

[Chorus]
Bless your heart, bless your soul,
That’s how they say, “Boy, you don’t know.”
Sounds like kindness, sweet as pie,
But it’s just a southern way to say “nice try.”

[Bridge]
Finally a local took me aside,
Said, “It ain’t what you think, it’s southern disguise.
It’s sugar on poison, a velvet dart,
When they don’t like you, they say, ‘Bless your heart.’”

[Verse 3]
Next day at Publix, in the parkin’ lot,
Some guy cut me off, near lost my spot.
I smiled real wide, gave a slow head start,
Rolled down my window: “Hey—bless your heart!”

[Final Chorus / Outro]
Bless your heart, bless your soul,
Now I’m talkin’ like I been told.
Sweet as honey, sharp as a dart,
Sing it with me now — bless your heart!

Bless Your Heart
