year: 1982
written by: Andy Partridge
length: 4 minutes 21 seconds

Heaven is Paved

Heaven is paved with broken glass
Since your hammer struck my heart
This world, a hell of trees and grass
All is wrong like north gone south
There's a bad taste in my mouth

Everything was stars
'Til you had a notion to leave
Beauty marks turn scars
Bet you had a laugh up your sleeve

Congratulations love love love love
You made a fool of me and physics

Heaven is paved with broken glass
Since your hammer struck my heart
This world, a hell of trees and grass
All is wrong like north gone south
There's a bad taste in my mouth

Everything was gold
'Til you thought you were above me
Soldier turns to rogue
Pretty turns to pretty ugly

Congratulations love love love love
You made a fool of me and physics

And I'm feeling cheated
And I'm feeling used
And what's even worse is
You just look amused

Heaven is paved with broken glass
Since your hammer struck my heart
This world, a hell of trees and grass
Since your hammer struck my heart

Heaven is paved with broken glass

Standard junk goes here. I'm in no way officially related to XTC or anything remotely connected to them. I'm just a fan - like you, assuming you're a fan too... But anything that's not © someone/something to do with XTC is © 2001-2002 by me (Jen Maher-Bontrager) and I reserve all rights to that stuff. If you want to reuse something that's mine, please ask me first.
