Earth to Heaven (Alex Etchart original)

Alex Etchart live and acoustic at the wonderful TABARNAK Acoustic night (http://www.myspace.com/tabarnakuk) at the Victoria pub in Mornington Crescent.

Lyrics:

Is there such a place called 'heaven'?
And if so what the hell would you do...
Sittin' up there a-bobbin' like a lemon
Watching fluffy clouds float through!?

You'd be bored of fun, bored of time
You'd be so god-damned bored of endless pleasure
That you'd just want to whine!

So I'll stick to a place called Earth
Where every now and then people cry
There's love, laughter, death and birth
But you can make it if you try...

Now, is there such a hole called 'hell'?
And if so what on earth have you done...
To end up under Satan's spell
Unforgiven by anyone!?

You'll be burned to bits, burnt to a crisp
You'll be so damn well done that when judgement comes
You'll have missed out on all the fun!

So I'll stick to a place called 'Earth'...

Well I guess what I'm trying to say
Is there ain't no such place
There's no way on earth to tell right from wrong
To tell an altar from a bomb

So I'll just say hello to my neighbour
Do to others as I'd have done... to me
Treat everyone as my brother and sister
Have some faith in humanity.
