co-sign

the xtended parts 1,2 and 3 version truly is the bizness !

I love it. Don't know what it is about it but very few people could pull a song like that off.

I remember Joe Strummer from the Clash saying that he tried to do a song mixing I Wish U heaven and Strawbwerry Fields Forever. It's got that kinda quality to it.

i love it ...

That's why I loved Joe. He understood good art. He's my other musical hero.

R.I.P. JOE STRUMMER

Absolutely adore this song, especially when it was done live during the '88 Lovesexy Tour which then became the parts 1 2 and 3 single. If you can get a hold of it it's a must or watch it on the Lovesexy Tour Vid.

Heaven ... oh yeah ... Heaven...Sugar Baby (ok I have to go and pull the CD right now and play it NOW!!)

I Wish U Heaven (Part 1,2 & 3)

Doubts of our conviction follow where we go
And when the world's compassion ceases, still I know
4 your every touch I thank U so much
4 your every kiss I...
I wish U love
I wish U heaven

If I see 11, U can say it's 7
Still I wish U heaven
I wish U love
I wish U heaven

Excellent
This is excellent
Cool (Cool)
This is so cool (This is so cool)
Tell me who in this house know about sweet heaven (We do!)
Fishtail! I said, "Really?" (Really)
If U know about love, say - "Yeah" (Yeah!)
I wish U heaven
If U wanna go 2 heaven, say ?"Oh yeah" (Oh yeah!)
If anybody in the house wanna sing
Here's a chance 2 do your thing
Everybody, everybody get ready, y'all ?sing!

Heaven, yeah! (Heaven, yeah!)
Heaven, sugar baby! (Heaven, sugar baby!)
Heaven, yeah! (Heaven, yeah!)

Hold my hand, I'm strong with U
Whell U're a quality band, I adore all of U
The way we love is what brought us 2gether
Dreams of above, the water's much wetter
When the world's compassion ceases 2 exist
My band won't leave me still I get a kiss
The heavens above, the heavens above
Everybody sing 4 the heavens above

Heaven, yeah! (Heaven, yeah!)
Heaven, sugar baby! (Heaven, sugar baby!)
Heaven, oh yes! (Heaven, oh yes!)
Heaven, sugar baby! (Heaven, sugar baby!)
Check it out

(Yes Lord, I love it, I love it, yeah)

If we wanted 2, we could slam all comers, slam all comers
Sheila? (Yeah)
Have the choir hit a long note
Heaven) Yeah
Say hello 2 my little friend, the Blue Angel
(Oh my God, look at that guitar)
That's right

On the 1 y'all
Heaven, yeah! (Heaven, yeah!)

Take this beat, I don't mind
I got plenty others and they so fine
I said take this beat, I don't mind
I got plenty others and they so fine

Take my coffee, but don't U touch my cream
Make me holler, make me scream
Sister ugly, that's the truth
She's at peace in the back yard , asleep on the roof
Take this beat, U know U need it
I give U a white dove, why'nt U feed it?
(I wish U heaven)
I gave U sweet love, U put it in the corner
Gave U candy, U say U don't want it
Take this beat, I don't mind (Lord)
I got plenty others and they so fine
Take this beat take this beat

Teal-blue overcoat on my back
'67 T-Bird, heart attack
I got peace-sign sneakers, pleated slacks
Don't fuck with me, I'll slap yo' ass!

Take this beat, I don't mind
I got plenty others and they so fine
Take this beat, I don't mind
I got plenty others and they so fine
They so fine They so fine, so fine
I don't mind
(Oh Lord)

Gil..Gilbert, get the keys
U gonna have 2 drive, I can't (Oh Lord)
Let's get outta of here

I wish U heaven


Says absolutely everything in this song - this is his message to all those that just didn'y or still don't get Lovesexy. His message to all those that still play the Black album.

"Take my coffee, but don't U touch my cream." So simple, coffee with no cream is Black.
"Take this beat, I know you need it" - some people just can't help themselves.
"But still I wish you heaven" - the power to forgive.

I had better stop now as I could go on forever about this song and all it encompasses.

Tune!

take my hand AND ILL STROLL WITH U,NEOPOLITAN MEN,I ADORE ALL OF U!!!
