ian mcnabb - great dreams of heaven lyrics
got failing light and aching bones, got beds in
subways, paper homes
got clear blue skies and rainy days, got sailors
sailing, sailing
got mighty ships to cross the sea, got plenty of room
for you and me
got babies being born hiv, got programmes failing,
failing
chorus 1
liberty and freedom all the things that men require
children singing, church bells ringing, objects of
desire
football teams and crazy scenes from 1967
and we got great dreams of heaven!
verse 2
got tv shows from satellite, got company on winter
night
excess of pills of pure delight, got flags all waving
got sandy beaches everywhere, fuel injected cars to get
us there
got pension plans and healthcare, got daylight saving
chorus 2
decency and honesty, the things that folk depend on
introduction, a dirty joke, and then a song to end
countries die, when rockets fly, and cities have been
levelled
and we got great dreams of heaven
verse 3
got ways of living, left and right, fast talking chat
shows, sponsored fight
got kids who’ll steal for just a hit, politicians
talking, talking
got idols selling fizzy drink, got reckless stealing
everything
so what going on it’s hard to think, soap stars are
singing, singing
chorus 3
verdant scenes and ways and means to understand our
being
holocaust, catastrophe and beauty we are seeing
harder times of holy wine and bread that is unleavened
and we got great dreams of heaven
chorus 4
crazy leaders, self -ssured who sit atop their nations
banners headed “peace and freedom! justice and
d-mnation!”
cold wind blowing, embers glowing, god knows where
we’re heading
and we got great dreams of heaven
