"Very Heaven" lyrics
"Very Heaven"
Oh, very heaven
To be young and in your arms
In the days of falling walls
Very heaven
Very heaven
Still all together
Before Doc slept with Jem and ran away
Hope that doesn't weigh on Jem
Back then
Everybody had a gob on 'em
17 says take me to your leader
17 is anti-gravity, oh
17 says help me find my people
The ones I'll always need and never see, oh
Xena Cortina and her chattering, skint Athenians
Licking stamps
In the dress-up box
Trying everything on
Trying everything on
Jesus Abyssinia
Never trust crushed anything
Just too old
To be holding court
Trying everything on
17 says feed me, feed the meter
17 is don't you say a word, boy
Took aside by cellar party teacher
No one knew but everybody heard, boy
17 drops every golden baton
17 is parking nose-to-nose, oh
Smoking, splitting hairs and smashing atoms
Chosen by the bunch of souls you chose
Very heaven

Gomez - "78 Stone Wobble" I was always told that you have to have the balls to break down
Now I'm older I'm not too sure
I was always told that you had to have the high to low down
An expert told me back in the war
Open...
Stereophonics - "Local Boy In The Photograph" There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It's that time of year again, I can taste the air
The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
And the train runs late for the first time...
R.E.M. - "Nightswimming" Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago,
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
Every street light reveals a picture in reverse
Still it's so...
Guillemots - "Redwings" This is where we fall from the trees
This is where the sky covers up
Daft killers of joy, you made a man out of me
And this is where the glass leaves the lens
Splintering a chemistry of friends...
