“Just Like Heaven” is a Fossils track, released in 1991 by Dinosaur Jr..
The Cure leader Robert Smith has already confessed that his favorite cover of “Just Like Heaven” was made by the American band Dinosaur Jr., which sped up and added distortion, but without taking away the charm of the original song. The Cure released “Just Like Heaven” on their seventh album, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987). Dinosaur Jr. released the cover in 1989 as a single in the UK. In 1991, it was included in the Fossils compilation.
Lyrics
'Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream,' she said
'The one that makes me laugh,' she said
And threw her arms around my head
'Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you...'
Spinning on that dizzy air
I kissed her face and kissed her hair
And dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
'Why are you so far away?' she said
'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you,
That I'm in love with you?'
Soft and only
Lost and lonely
Strange as angels
Sitting in the deepest oceans
Sitting in the water, you're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
I found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
