If Pennies Came From Heaven... Lyrics - The Beloved

oh my darlings jean and rita 

life couldn't be much sweeter 

swinging all around you see 

what this country's made of me 

until yesterday i'd thought 

the best things in life are bought 

strange when you're led by the nose 

through restaurants in evening clothes 

through restaurants in evening clothes 

but i'm tired of these contradictions 

council roads to revolution 

waves part, on they go 

walking fast, thinking slow 

days don't pass so calmly 

invaded by salvation's army 

if this is all god's given 

well, he could keep the rest 

i said he could keep the, keep the rest 

but all these pennies 

if they came from heaven 

would this mean that all's forgiven? 

i've seen these men and all the women 

in love with everyday living 

stack furniture against the door 

landmine the kitchen floor 

opening windows, pulling strings 

the smell of napalm in the morning 

but if engels came, saved us all 

i doubt he would make housecalls 

somehow i doubt that he would make housecalls
