Heaven is a Secret
Spandau Ballet · Ultra Selection [2005]
you could be the boy in the film
Heaven is a secret.
Where are the "West-Side" boys?
Fighting on the scaffold of love
Scripted pleasures made forever
Easier said then done together
Heaven is a secret
it's a passion
it's a long way over there
far from her arms tonight.
Here is her model home
listen to the call of the wild
Heaven is a secret
facts are awful shame
the shadow of a doubtful affair
scripted pleasures made forever
easier said than done together
Act One's the same as you read in the book
could this be the thing that they shout about?
No more in distress, now it's rushed through the door
and you can't believe that the secret's out
scripted pleasures made forever
easier said than done together.
Heaven is a secret
it's a passion
it's a long way over there
far from her arms tonight.
Heaven is a Secret
Spandau Ballet emerged as a defining force in the New Romantic movement, blending art-rock sensibilities with polished pop production. "Heaven is a Secret" appears on the 2005 compilation Ultra Selection, showcasing the band's enduring melodic craftsmanship. The track reflects the group's signature style, characterized by soaring vocals and sophisticated arrangements that distinguish them from their contemporaries. While the band achieved significant commercial success during the 1980s with hits like "Gold" and "True," this recording highlights their continued ability to craft emotive, atmospheric music. The song serves as a reminder of the band's rich discography, which spans decades of evolution while maintaining a core identity rooted in British pop and rock traditions. It stands as a testament to their lasting influence on the genre.
