Another i suspect wasnt a huge hit around the rest of the world, although I could be wrong. Huge hit here in the UK with 16 weeks on the chart.
I've actualy seen Feargal in recent years, he drink in a pub in Muswell Hill, London. Doesnt have the floppy hair look anymore...
A GOOD HEART - 16/11/1985 2 weeks at #1
I hear a lot of stories I suppose they could be true All about love And what it can do to you High is the risk of striking out The risk of getting hurt And still, I have so much to learn
I know, 'cause I think about it all the time I know that real love is quite a vice
And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart) True love, the lasting kind A good heart these days is hard to find So please be gentle with this heart of mine
My expectations may be high I blame it on my youth Soon enough I learned the painful truth I'll face it like a fighter Then boast of how I've grown Anything is better than being alone
Well I know, 'cause I learn a little every day I know, 'cause I listen when the experts say
That a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart) True love, the lasting kind A good heart these days is hard to find (ooh) So please be gentle with this heart of mine, yeah
Hey
As I reflect on all my childhood dreams My ideas of love weren't as foolish as they seemed If I don't start looking now, I'll be left behind And a good heart these days, it's hard to find
I know, it's a dream I'm willing to defend I know it will all be worth it in the end
And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart) True love, the lasting kind A good heart these days is hard to find So please be gentle with this heart of mine
And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart) True love, the lasting kind (Ooh) a good heart these days is hard to find So please be gentle with this heart With this heart of mine
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh, a good heart) (Ah, hey hey, a good heart) (Oh oh oh oh oh oh, a good heart) (Ah-ha ah-ha ah-ha, a good heart) (Oh oh oh, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up)

Yes, its got a good tune and some great lyrics.
If anyone wants to go look for Mr Sharkey, if your in London or when your in London. I have seen him a number of times in a pub about five minutes walk from East Finchley tube station, left out of the tube and its the pub on the corner by the traffic lights!! ;o)

I remember a good heart getting some air and video play in Canada back in the day. Funny, but i was flabergasted when I found out in the 90's, that Feargal was actually the singer of Irishpop-punk band the Undertones. If someone talks to him again in a pub, ask him why he didn't want to get involved in the most recent Undertones reunion.

Where do we buy Mr Sharkey's music these days? I fear that the transition to CD's left fergal and many others like him in limbo. xoxox
