Clean Heart — Sade

clean heart clean and sharp clean dream bad start

he loved his brother and his sister luke and tony called him mister they made him feel much more like a man he loved his daddy though he never told him and how he loved his mother he loved he loved her like an italian

little janet said you look so fine so fine something in his smile made them feel like strangers and then he straightened his belt with a lover's touch and he said i'm gonna bring home the things that are out of your clutch

seemed like the hottest night in summer a heat that makes you feel like dying

somewhere in the next block there was a baby crying

finger on the trigger for the years to come

and as the moon slid up over the restless streets sirens mocking and people stop to see their greedy eyes don't realise he's someone's son finger on the trigger for the years to come

finger on the trigger for the years to come
