The Mekons — "Heaven And Back" (1989)
She had been misplaced by the government;
Our old friends are under attack.
They've crossed over the border,
But I have been to heaven and back—
Now, they're all in prison or dead.
I'm looking up at the mountain:
I have been to heaven and back—
Like a thread around the world.
Living and laughing, my head's going 'round;
I am a curious boy—
Others go out searching for cracks.
Ooh!: handcuffed to history,
I have been to heaven and back—
She had been misplaced by the government;
Our old friends are under attack.
They've crossed over the border,
But I have been to heaven and back—
I've been to heaven and back!
Right in front of my eyes!
Things have a habit of happening to me;
It's no surprise!
Some of the people, they stayed behind.Now, they're all in prison or dead.
I'm looking up at the mountain:
I have been to heaven and back—
I've been to heaven and back!
[. . .]
Ooooh, animal radar,Like a thread around the world.
Living and laughing, my head's going 'round;
I am a curious boy—
I am a curious boy!
[instr.]
Some people write little verses;Others go out searching for cracks.
Ooh!: handcuffed to history,
I have been to heaven and back—
I've been to heaven and back!
