Oh Heather Songtext
von Afternoons

Oh, Heather, could you keep it together
So the neighbors won′t call up the police?
I could feel your fingers tapping lightly
On my shoulders, hold your mouth tightly
So the screaming barely makes a sound

See, if one of us should fall
We both go down
We both go down

No, Heather, you promised me that you'd never
Throw a tantrum for no reason at all
And I whispered in your ear discreetly
One bad idea away from failing completely
And here comes that cathedral feeling

See, if one of us should fall
We both go down
We both go down
We both go down


You will defend, you will defend your pretty innocence
If they should send the marching, marching men
To destroy our hearts wearing their tight gloves
To tear our love apart
We can walk past the metal shields
Lay down our heavy heads in the filthy fields
And you can entwine your limbs with mine
Just don′t go and join the single file line
And I, I, I, I, I, I
Your pretty life has just begun

I won't let them put their hands on you

Oh, I won't let them put their hands on you

Stay with me ′cause your life is not a lie
Stay with me ′cause their life is not a life
Stay with me 'cause their life is not a life
And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life

Now we′ll defend, we'll defend your pretty innocence
If they should send the marching, marching men
To destroy our hearts
I won′t let them tear your love apart
If they should chase us down in the streets
Line us up and make us turn a cheek
I won't let them put their hands on you
Oh, I won′t let them put their hands on you


Stay with me 'cause their life is not a lie
Stay with me 'cause their life is not a life
Stay with me ′cause their life is not a life
And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life

Stay with me ′cause their life is not a lie
Stay with me 'cause their life is not a life
Stay with me ′cause their life is not a life
And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life

And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life
And their life is not a life

And their life
