How does that sound, it's a stretch I know but its what I like about this song, it could have another interpretations.

When I refer to the 'Gods' I'm thinking of her parents. They were pretty shocked when they saw what she had done so she blamed the tatooist for the all the stars and said she only wanted three.
They believed her story, but she eventually owned up that she did actually ask for all of the stars, so effectively the Gods were fooled but they are now wise to events....

But I do like your line but it doesn't really sum things up for me? This wizard isn't a fool - he only done what he was asked to do - I can't see your way of thinking, please explain...

Rock on!

This is great and thanks to Ken I now understand the story behind it. I'm thinking of changing 'wizard' to 'jester' I would leave it as ‘wizard' if it was mine, when I first read it I didn't know the underlying story, and felt that the errant wizard versus God conflict was great, I think changing it to jester will dilute that. Which brings me to the only line that I feel is a little weak: The Gods were fooled now they are wise Generally speaking I would have thought that the Gods are always wise but can be mislead by their deceiving staff , so to speak, which is why I think you should leave the Wizard there.
Maybe something like : A tear rolls down the face like heaven
But no one listens to her cries
She begged the wizard for a face like heaven
And Wizards are fools to the wise
A tear rolls down the face like heaven Its kind of like a summary statement at the end

Cheers

This guy? Calling him a jester . . . is too kind.

Your girl can always cut back to one star for only $38.99 until the money comes through for the laser removal of the other stars. :wink: http://www.halloweencostumes.com/full-starchild-mask.html

Good start :D It reads well. I like the story....a tragedy for sure....but not being UK, I don't have a clue to the reference. :?:

The closest I could come up as far as who your writing about is someone undergoing a botched up plastic surgery. :?

I tried to investigate a bit, but I don't think I got the right girl:

It looks like you took some liberties with keeping the same point of view, but you've mentioned before that's a low priority.

Thanks for sharing.

Ok, everyone in the UK might be able to remember the background to this story, those around the rest of the world will have to do their homework....No clues, a bit of artistic licence has been used.....

I'm really pleased with this song. I've even got some chords for it...shock, horror :shock:

Face Like Heaven

(D)Give me a face that (G)looks like (Cadd9)heaven
(D)So I can be around the (Cadd9)stars
(D)Give me a face that (G)looks like (Cadd9)heaven
(D)I want to be at one with (G)Mars(Cadd9)

I'll give you a face that looks like heaven
The wizards work began to flow
I'll give you a face that looks like heaven
The magic needle made her glow

(F)And when she woke up from her (A)dream she gazed upon a heavenly (G)scene(A)
(F)It's what she wanted here on (A)earth a face of stars.... for what it's (G)worth(A)

The Gods weren't pleased with her face like heaven
How could he play this trick on me
She damned the wizard for the face like heaven
His curse is there for all to see

I can break the spell of your face like heaven
Make a wish and the stars will die
But you can't hide from your face like heaven
The stars leave patches in the sky

The wizard done what he was asked she wished for this celestial mask
Can't you see it in her eyes there are not stars but there are lies...

A tear rolls down the face like heaven
But no one listens to her cries
She begged the wizard for a face like heaven
The Gods were fooled now they are wise

A tear rolls down the face like heaven

Thanks for reading.

Rock on!
