Subject: Lyrics for "Show Me Heaven" by Jimmy Nail

There's a moment in the morning,
when the birds refuse to sing,
when the wind blows in it's cargo,
and the eyes begin to sting,
and you can't see these elysian fields,
though the bodies on the ground,
so you grope the dead for souvenirs
that are lying all around
Lay your head down on my pillow and show me heaven
Lay your head down on my pillow and show me heaven

I killed a little boy today,
I put a bayonet in his breast,
they said I was a hero,
and pinned a medal on my chest,
but I will not kill another,
for now I know it to be wrong,
that young man had a mother,
and for her I must be strong,
So lift your skirt a little higher and show me heaven,
Lift your skirt a little higher and show me heaven.

In the morning they'll be waiting,
and before the day is done,
I will make my peace with Jesus,
I will walk towards the sun,
and they'll take me to the bloody war
where the ones before me fell,
and I'll go to meet old friends,
yes my enemies as well,
So put your sweet lips against my body and show me heaven
Put your sweet lips against my body and show me heaven

show me heaven
show me heaven
show me heaven
