Beloved - If Pennies Came From Heaven... lyrics

rate me

Oh my darlings jean and rita<br />

Life couldn't be much sweeter<br />

Swinging all around you see<br />

What this country's made of me<br />

Until yesterday i'd thought<br />

The best things in life are bought<br />

Strange when you're led by the nose<br />

Through restaurants in evening clothes<br />

Through restaurants in evening clothes<br />

<br />

But i'm tired of these contradictions<br />

Council roads to revolution<br />

Waves part, on they go<br />

Walking fast, thinking slow<br />

Days don't pass so calmly<br />

Invaded by salvation's army<br />

If this is all god's given<br />

Well, he could keep the rest<br />

I said he could keep the, keep the rest<br />

<br />

But all these pennies <br />

If they came from heaven<br />

Would this mean that all's forgiven?<br />

<br />

I've seen these men and all the women<br />

In love with everyday living<br />

Stack furniture against the door<br />

Landmine the kitchen floor<br />

Opening windows, pulling strings<br />

The smell of napalm in the morning<br />

But if engels came, saved us all<br />

I doubt he would make housecalls<br />

Somehow i doubt that he would make housecalls<br />

<br />

But if all these pennies<br />

If they came from heaven<br />

Could karl marx have been mistaken?
