Trivia
According to Sean Beavan Manson initially wanted Putting Holes in Happiness to be the first single though the record company decided that Heart-Shaped Glasses was a more natural choice due to it's radio friendly nature. It is likely that Manson's choice will see release as the second single later in 2007.
Manson wrote Heart-Shaped Glasses after 19-year old girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood came to his house wearing heart-shaped glasses like Sue Lyon in the Stanley Kubrick version of Lolita.
Lyrics
She reminds me of
The one in school
When I was cutting
She was dressed in white
And I couldn't take my eyes off her
But that's not what I took off that night
And she will never cover up
What we did
With a dress
No
She said
"Kiss me, it will heal but it won't forget"
And I don't mind you
Keeping me
On pins and needles
If I could stick to you
And you could
Stick me too
Don't break, don’t break
My heart
And I won't break your
Heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
You should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
Making me low
She reminds of the one I knew
That cut up the negatives
Of my life
I couldn’t to take my hands off her
She wouldn't let me be
Anywhere but inside
And I don't mind you
Keeping me
On pins and needles
If I could stick to you
And you could
Stick me too
Just
Don't break, don’t break
My heart
And I won't break your
Heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
You should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
Making me low
And she will never cover up
What we did
With a dress
No
She said
"Kiss me, it will heal but it won't forget"
And I don't mind you
Keeping me
On pins and needles
If I could stick to you
And you could
Stick me too
Don't break, don’t break
My heart
And I won't break your
Heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
You should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
Making me low
