Thoughts and other ramblings
Not quite sure why I’m picking this song today. Maybe because I’ve been wearing the cutest dress I own and I needed a balance, who knows? Heaven Knows is my favourite The Pretty Reckless song. Honestly, it’s been a while since I listened to it, and that’s mostly because it’s not on my mp3 player, which I only just realised. Damn. When did I delete it??? Err… umm… anyway. Heaven Knows is a great song and at one point I’ve listened to it non stop.
Lyrics
If you listen close
You can hear him cry
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Sing it
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Judy’s in the front seat picking up trash
Living on the dole
Gotta make that cash
Won’t be pretty
Won’t be sweet
She’s just sittin’ here on her feet
Sing it
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Go
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Sing
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
I’ve had better days, man
I’ve seen better days
I’ve had better ways, man
I know better ways
One, two, three and four
The devil’s knocking at your door
Caught in the eye of a dead man’s lie
Start your life with your head held high
Now you’re on your knees
With your head hung low
Big man tells you where to go
Tell ’em it’s good
Tell ’em okay
Don’t do a goddamn thing they say
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
I’ve seen better ways, man
I know better ways
I’ve seen better days, man
I’ve had better days
Gina’s in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close
You can hear the crying
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
Love this song. The musical sound. Her voice. Ugh. So good.
I know, right?! It’s awesome!
I also love that in live versions the guitarist throws a little homage to Pink Floyd in the intro.
Lol, I didn’t know. That sounds cool.
Check some of them out. It’s subtle but cool.
