The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day

The Proclaimers, "Heaven Right Now" from Persevere (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary: I'm not now nor would I ever endorse the immoral ethic expounded in "Heaven Right Now," but however charmingly distasteful the lyrics are on this particular day the rhythm & the cadence are just to my taste.
"She's everything a married man should look for in a girl,
She's married, too, but not to you, and that's part of a the thrill,
She's the one who makes you feel alright,
Her alibi's your alibi; it's watertight.

"She's old enough to know of love and know that this is not,
But young enough to not be willin' to settle for what she's got,
She's the one who makes you feel alright,
Her alibi's your alibi; it's watertight.

"And if you get caught,
You're going to hell,
But it's heaven right now…"
