Peter Godwin - Images of Heaven
Copyright 1982; used without permission
This page is my response to the fact that the somewhat obscure 1982 "new-wave" song Images of Heaven does not have a transcription of its lyrics anywhere on the web. I feel that what this song says is important; hence this web page.These lyrics were obtained by listening to the song and typing down the lyrics. The recording quality of the copy I listened to is poor so there are undoubtably many errors in this transcription.
Many people have emailed me the correct lyrics; the reason I am not correcting the lyrics here is because people who wish to have the real lyrics can purchase the CD here, which includes excellent linear notes and the real lyrics.
Nothing is Sacred
Video gold my love
Nothing is wasted
on someone like you
Somebody killed me
And tore out my heart my love
Somebody killed me
Because of you
And there's nothing I can do
The media made you
There's nothing I can do
'cause you don't exist
you don't exist
Just images of heaven
that take me to hell
Images of heaven
Of something to sell
Images of heaven
Images of heaven
Something posessed me
An image of you my love
Video visions
That play on my mind
Nobody blessed me
with power to reach my love
When you're an illusion
You can still be divine
And nobody belives
In this new religion
Yeah nobody belives
'cause nobody sees
nobody sees
Images of heaven
Take me to hell
Images of heaven
of something to sell
Images of heaven
Images of heaven
Images of heaven
Images of heaven
And there's nothing I can do
The camera made you
There's nothing I can do
'cause you don't exist
You don't exist
Just images of heaven
that take me to hell
Images of heaven
Of something to sell
Images of heaven
Images of heaven
