Squeeze — Heaven

[Verse 1] Bar illuminations shiver Shadows on the street The Cypriot sailors Find the world back at their feet [Chorus 1] Endless days of tobacco nights by the radio I wonder if they'll ever go to heaven Heaven [Verse 2] The beer mats are wading In a table of froth The bar girl is serving With a checked drying cloth [Chorus 2] She'll bend over backwards Even though she's knackered I wonder if there'll have her up in heaven Heaven [Bridge] Like the sailors I walk home, it's 6:00 a.m Heaven's 'round the corner in a comfortable bed And I love her [Verse 3] The officers and seamen Elbow places at the bar Words that tempt the goddess Don't leave beats upon the heart [Chorus 3] But she'll service his pleasure And never know the treasure That his wife keeps forever up in heaven Heaven [Verse 4] The first light of the morning Proves too much for the streets No one sees each other Just their presence there to meet [Chorus 2] Your chin takes to stubble At the sight of a funnel And the gangplank is no trouble up to heaven Heaven [Bridge] Like the sailors I walk home, it's 6:00 a.m Heaven's 'round the corner in a comfortable bed And I love her
