Heaven Must Have Sent You Back To Me

Written by David Cicero

Intro
How are you now?

Verse 1
Take what you want and don't come back
How are you now?
You took everything and left me with nothing
And that's the way it goes

Chorus
Heaven must have sent you back to me
I guess heaven must have sent you back to me

Verse 2
You talked about engagements
But I knew it was all lies
When I noticed you hanging around with that man
I could see it in your eyes

Verse 3
If we were just good friends
You'd never release me
But now we are still lovers
But love with no guarantee

David Cicero—who goes professionally only by his surname—is an American-born but Scotland-raised singer-songwriter-keyboardist whom the Pet Shop Boys took on as a protégé in 1989. Apparently he attended a PSB concert that year, at which he managed to get a demo tape to their friend and assistant Peter Andreas. He passed it on to Chris and Neil, who liked what they heard.

Cicero proved to be the most prolific artist on the Boys' own short-lived Spaghetti Recordings label. All of his Spaghetti releases appeared during the two-year period 1991-92, although he remained signed to the label until 1996, at which time his professional relationship with PSB was amicably severed. Since then he has maintained a low profile in the music industry with little recorded output.

Aside from simply being mentors and label-owners, the Boys were directly involved in one way or another with each of the following tracks, most of which appear on his 1992 album Future Boy (the cover of which is depicted here).


Writers - Cicero
First released - 1991
Original album - Future Boy (Cicero)
Producer - David Jacob, Pet Shop Boys
Subsequent albums - (none)
Other releases - single (UK #70)

Chris and Neil provided "additional production" for this 1992 release. It's actually a remix of Cicero's debut single released the previous year with little if any direct PSB involvement (aside from being released on their label; the producer of the original track was David Jacob), but it had failed to reach the UK Top 100. The Boys beefed it up, giving it more of a "PSB sound," and upon re-release it got as high as #70 the second time around. What's more, Chris directed the video.
