[Refrain: Roland Orzabal & Nicky Holland]
I dream of heaven
I dream of
I dream of heaven
[Verse 1: Bitti Strauchn]
High time we made a stand
And shook up the views of the common man
And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast
D.J.'s the man we love the most
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracy?
As the headline says you’re free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues
[Interlude: Biti Strauchn]
One of these days they’re gonna call it the blues
[Bridge: Biti Strauchn]
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean?
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean?
[Verse 2: Biti Strauchn]
I spy tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention
Food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels?
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of a government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
[Refrain: Roland Orzabal & Nicky Holland]
I dream of heaven
I dream of
I dream of
I dream of heaven
[Interlude]
[Outro: Biti Strauchn]
High time we made a stand
Kick out the style, bring back the jam
Bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
I dream of heaven
I dream of
I dream of heaven
[Verse 1: Bitti Strauchn]
High time we made a stand
And shook up the views of the common man
And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast
D.J.'s the man we love the most
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracy?
As the headline says you’re free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues
[Interlude: Biti Strauchn]
One of these days they’re gonna call it the blues
[Bridge: Biti Strauchn]
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean?
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean?

And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
And bring back the jam
