Affairs of the Heart was a single with Lake singing differently than his usual style. Affairs of the Heart is pleasant and has a catchy melody.
Better Days being a great rocking song that I heard live before this studio version. It is worth grabbing this especially for collectors, and especially with the attractive picture sleeve, as one of the last decent singles of the great ELP.


Affairs of the Heart was another single released from ELP’s ill-fated Black Moon reunion album of 1992. Unlike the title track (the other single released), this song is clearly in Greg Lake’s park. It’s basically a nicely done ballad sounding very similar to other AOR bands in the early 1990s (Asia or Saga, for example). The B-side Better Days is slightly better.

Affairs of the heart    (video)

    D – G   – D – G

             D                                                   G

  1. She looked at me across the room, emerging from a silk cocoon,

       D                                               G

    alone beneath Venetian chandeliers.

         D                                                       G

    Against the moon her body rocks, her eyes were cunning like a fox,

             D                                           G

    the wings of passion fly on all frontiers.

     A                                                 G

From this fire there’s no returning, no escape, your heart is burning,

 A                                                G

love becomes a lethal weapon, no one is too smart,

                             D   – G                             D       – G

in affairs of the heart,       in affairs of the heart.

        D                                                 G

  1. Now upon the bridge she waits, dreaming of our tangled fates,

            D                                                   G

    her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade.

       D                                         G

    Fell just like a falling star, a victim of this coup d’etat,

         D                                                  G

    I could not see behind this masquerade.

     A                                                 G

From this fire there’s no returning, no escape, your heart is burning,

 A                                                      G

love becomes a lethal weapon, be careful where you start

                            D      – G                             D      – G

in affairs of the heart,         in affairs of the heart,

                           Dm      – C

in affairs of the heart.

    F                           G                   F       – C

+       Sometimes I think I’ll never learn,

F                             G                F      – C

     were all those promises in vain ?

F                             G               A     – F – G

    Do the wings of fire still remain ?             – – –

+  D – G    – D – G

     D                                             G

  1. All is fair in love and war, the tender draw, theshorteststraw,

            D                                                  G

    like autumn leaves they vanish in the air.

          D                                                  G

    Is this the time we say goodbye ? I call her room, there’s no reply,

         D                                                G

    tonight we end this fleeting love affair.

    A                                                  G

From this fire there’s no returning, no escape, your heart is burning,

 A                                                   G

love becomes a lethal weapon, sharper than a dart

                            D     – G                             D     – G

in affairs of the heart,        in affairs of the heart,

                            D     – G – D – G

in affairs of the heart.

                            D     – G – D – G

In affairs of the heart ….

(orig. = capo 2nd)    (Emerson, Lake & Palmer)


She looked at me across the room
Emerging from a silk cocoon
Alone beneath Venetian chandeliers
Against the moon her body rocks
Her eyes were cunning like a fox
The wings of passion fly on all frontiers
From this fire theres no returning
No escape your heart is burning
Love becomes a lethal weapon
No one is too smart
In affairs of the heart
Now upon the bridge she waits
Dreaming of our tangled fates
Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade
I fell just like a falling star
A victim of this coup d’etat
I could not see behind this masquerade
Be careful where you start
In affairs of the heart
Sometimes I think I’ll never learn
Were all those promises in vain
Do the wings of fire still remain
All is fair in love and war
The tender draw the shortest straw
Like autumn leaves they vanish in the air
Is this the time we say goodbye
I call her room theres no reply
Tonight we end this fleeting love affair
From this fire theres no returning
No escape your heart is burning
Love becomes a lethal weapon
Sharper than a dart
In affairs of the heart
