Artist/Band: Robyn Hitchcock
Lyrics for Song: Earthly Paradise
Lyrics for Album: Perspex Island [1991]



So long my earthly paradise

So long to you

So long my earthly paradise

So long to you



They say you've been poisoned

They say you've closed down

But I saw a light 'neath your door

There's so many rumours on this side of town

Who knows what that one is for



So long my earthly paradise

Glass-topped hotel

I dreamed you on rails of mercury

Drove you to hell



There's pigs in the bedroom and pigs in the hall

They're chewing away at the wax

And a misshapen god in the deckchair outside

Where Josephine used to relax



My earthly cloud-capped mountain home

My angel of the sea

There's nowhere else that I could roam

That means that much to me



So long my earthly paradise

Stranger's hand

Tear the gold off your pinnacles

Understand

The bastards that destroy our lives

Are sometimes just ourselves

But mostly they're invisible

I hope they fry in hell

I hope you fry in hell



So long, my earthly paradise
