Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians - "Heaven"

[Boojumish]

Quite possibly my favourite Robyn song of all time. Which is saying a great deal..

[AdeBamforth]

"You've got faults to walk, antelopes

Sun to call the eye on you

Pastel curtains drawing open

Fingers, hairs and follicules

Memories and antidotes

Single walls that crawl towards her

Use your arms, and use your heaven

And then walk for your arms"

I'm glad the commercial stations didn't choose him to be famous, because they would have run his songs into the ground the way they have with all 'popular' artists over the past 50 years.

Yep it's a crime this is not a bigger part of the worlds soundtrack it is soooo goood !!

[bachelorettelisa]

Fuckin' Genius he is...

[ziffels]

When God listens to Pop/Rock on sattelite radio and HE needs a tight smart poppy melodic hook fix (and Nick Lowe isn't available), HE calles up some Robyn. So there.

Robyn > Nick. But that's just me.

[Junk281056]

@ziffels you are so right The hand of god is most certainly involved in this work of genius !!

[Quickstoptim]

Such a great song. The lick is CLASSIC rock 'n' roll. The lyric is as rich as dark choclate.

I like very much Robyn Hitchcock.

Heaven, Cathedral, and 52 stations are my favorite songs!
