heaven Knows
There are times when I’m lying in my bed
how I bellow and cry from this stupid get
and my eyes are like windshields on a rainy day
almost rubbed-out, swelling as I keep on
Digging my face in these cold hands of mine
Heaven knows how embittered I am
[chorus]
Cause this angel has flown away from me
leaving me in drunken misery
i should have clipped her wings
and made her mine for all eternity
now this angel has flown away from me
thought I had the strength to set her free
i did what I did because I love her so
will she ever find her way back home to me, ahh
[interlude]
I’m so tired, I feel like catching forty-winks
being up all night in this elbow-room that puts me in a trance
where hopes and dreams come true
now, my lips are burning and my eyes are hurting
from these fumes I make, still I light another cigarette
just to pass my time, oh, heaven knows how embittered I am
[chorus]
Cause this angel has flown away from me
leaving me in drunken misery
i should have clipped her wings
and made her mine for all eternity
now this angel has flown away from me
thought I had the strength to set her free
i did what I did because I love her so
will she ever find her way back home to me, ahh

Artist Info
Orange and Lemons
Clementine Castro and Mcoy Fundales met in high school in the mid 90's. They found out through participating in school programs and events that they share a common passion for music. Mcoy introduced Clementine to the music of The Beatles and since then jammed songs from the legendary group and at the same time developed their song writing partnership. The duo formed groups with friends from their province of Bulacan and went through several names such as The Voiz, Sweet Silence, Irony, The Cranes, Mushroom and eventually settling down with the monicker Orange and Lemons. The name was suggested by their former drummer. The group got the name because it sounded playful, fresh and catchy to them. It was years after they used the name that they found out that there is actually a British nursery rhyme and an XTC album called "Oranges and Lemons". Clementine discovered the music of The Smiths in college and introduced it to Mcoy. It was the music of The Beatles and The Smiths combined that created a huge impact on the duo's song writing and playing style.
