Lyrics to A Little Piece Of Heaven
The streets are pebble-dashed mirrors, know them like the back of my hand
Back then when they made a great sound
The noises of joy and then, the shrieks and sobs of children at war
The freedom never gave up and if you had the face of a street angel
You could have your first cigarette and drink and kiss in peace
And all of these things that I was so hasty to do
I'd rather have skipped it and not have to tend to the stinging
Tend to the bite to my mind, time after time
Bandaged back up and prepared for a fight
I don't wanna spoil it
And be resentful, but I have had to make a few changes
Day to day to day
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
When I was younger on Saturday night
We'd go to town, we'd go to my grandmother's house
In front of a blazing hot fire, she'd cut into pieces the Magnum we'd brought
Giving me some, my sister some, all that you need is a piece of heaven
I know that I've been frozen
But I've had some time to thaw out
And not everything's worthy of my woes
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
Better put your best self forward
Look at all of the days ahead
And I better start here right now
Days of grace are coming
What did I do to deserve this?
Time to prove, time to move away from old narratives
What did I do to deserve this?
Time to prove, time to move away from old narratives
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
Back then when they made a great sound
The noises of joy and then, the shrieks and sobs of children at war
The freedom never gave up and if you had the face of a street angel
You could have your first cigarette and drink and kiss in peace
And all of these things that I was so hasty to do
I'd rather have skipped it and not have to tend to the stinging
Tend to the bite to my mind, time after time
Bandaged back up and prepared for a fight
I don't wanna spoil it
And be resentful, but I have had to make a few changes
Day to day to day
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
When I was younger on Saturday night
We'd go to town, we'd go to my grandmother's house
In front of a blazing hot fire, she'd cut into pieces the Magnum we'd brought
Giving me some, my sister some, all that you need is a piece of heaven
I know that I've been frozen
But I've had some time to thaw out
And not everything's worthy of my woes
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
Better put your best self forward
Look at all of the days ahead
And I better start here right now
Days of grace are coming
What did I do to deserve this?
Time to prove, time to move away from old narratives
What did I do to deserve this?
Time to prove, time to move away from old narratives
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
And there's no question, I've learnt my lesson
All that you need is a little piece of heaven
