About Heaven

"Heaven Knows" is a song by Squeeze, released as the third single from their eleventh album, Ridiculous. The single version differs significantly from the original album mix, as most of Chris Difford's vocals have been erased and replaced by new vocals from Glenn Tilbrook. The single reached number 27 in the UK Singles Chart. Three versions of the single were released, each with a different set of live B-sides. The live tracks are the same as those found on the Live at the Royal Albert Hall CD released in 1997. A third mix of "Heaven Knows" was featured prominently in the 1995 film Hackers and was never released. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

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
