Feels like Heaven #SLS

Ok look, I’m sorry. I know this doesn’t even mention angels, and frankly the lyrics are a bit disturbing. But I really wasn’t in the mood for Robbie Williams or Abba’s ‘Angel Eyes’ or Eurythmics or any of the other songs which popped into my head when I saw Helen’s prompt for this week.

So here you go: Feels Like Heaven from 1980’s one-hit wonders Fiction Factory who didn’t do much apart from this one song (according to Wikipedia, the lead singer Kevin Patterson now works in the IT Department of the University of Dundee).

Why this song? Because angels live in heaven, allegedly. And I’m still stuck in the 80s musically. And someone else can do Robbie.

Heaven is closer now today
The sound is in my ears
I can’t believe the things you say
They echo what I fear

Twisting the bones until they snap
I scream but no one knows
You say I’m familiar, cold to touch
And then you turn and go

Feels like heaven
Feels like heaven

See how we planned for saddened eyes
And tears to pave the way
I fought the fever as I knew
My hair returned to gray

Study your face and fade the frame
Too close for comfort now
We can recall the harmony
That lingered but turned sour

Feels like heaven
Feels like heaven

You wanted all I had to give
See me, I feel, see me, I live

Feels like heaven (heaven is closer, heaven is closer)
Feels like heaven (heaven is closer, heaven is closer)
Feels like heaven (heaven is closer, heaven is closer)
Feels like heaven (heaven is closer, heaven is closer)
Feels like heaven (heaven is closer, heaven is closer)
