In Heaven (Lady In The Radiator Song) Lyrics
In heaven, everything is fine (x3)
You've got your good thing, and I've got mine
In heaven, everything is fine (x3)
You've got a good, good thing, and you've got mine, all mine
In heaven, everything is fine
In heaven
In heaven, everything is fine
You've got a good, good thing, and you've got mine, all mine
In heaven, everything is fine
the version found on "live at the bbc" is the best i've heard, it's a must hear, whether your a pixies fan or a fan of the movie eraserhead. a hair raising experience!:-o
I always thought this song was about nihilism and unfairness of the world. The speaker starts out pretending that everything is just peachy---you have your good thing and he has his. He should be content and happy, but he can't be. Someone else will always have his "good thing" even in the most perfect scenario. "Heaven" is a final destination, so if unfairness exists there it will never be corrected. By the end of the song his fake happy face erupts into rage at the truth & injustice of it all.
Could be referring to the end of a relationship, too. Like he's trying to play it cool after being dumped, but in reality the ex will have her good thing PLUS his.
I love this song because it succinctly drives home the general unfairness of life we have to accept. I heard it before I ever knew about Eraserhead, so this has been my take from long ago.
think it has to do with this movie here imdb.com/title/tt0074486/ eraserhead by david lynch
actually i'm sure of it
this song is definitely from Eraserhead. Frank Black is into Lynch' movies. And this song is a total riot!!
i made the connection after watching eraserhead, and i gotta say frank black does a really strange cover of the lady in the radiators song, good though
Yeah it's a cover from Eraserhead. I prefer the reunion one with Kim singing in Coachella
This song is siiiiiiiick. Nobody can scream like him. No doubt it's Eraserhead. Pretty straight forward.
