Heaven Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

Bar illuminations shiver 

Shadows on the street 

The Cypriot sailors 

Find the world back at their feet 

Endless days of tobacco nights by the radio 

I wonder if they'll ever go to heaven 

The beer mats are wading 

In a table of froth 

The bar girl is serving 

With a check drying cloth 

She'll bend over backwards even though she's knackered 

I wonder if there'll have her up in heaven

Like the sailors I walk home, it's six a.m. 

Heaven's round the corner in a comfortable bed 

And I love her. 

The officers and seamen 

Elbow places at the bar 

Words that tempt the goddess 

Don't leave beats upon the heart 

But she'll service his pleasure 

And never know the treasure 

That his wife keeps forever up in heaven

The first light of the morning 

Proves too much for the street 

No one sees each other 

Just their presence there to meet 

Your chin takes to stubble at the sight of a funnel 

And the gangplank is no trouble up to heaven
