1. An English indiepop group (active from 1989 to 1996).
2. An Australian indie avant-garde band fronted by Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence-Geldof, daughter of INXS member, Michael Hutchence.
3. A French power metal band (active from 1994 to present).
1. Heavenly were a 1990s indiepop band formed in Oxford, England in 1989. Amelia Fletcher (vocals), Mathew Fletcher (drums; Amelia's brother), Peter Momtchiloff (guitar) and Robert Pursey (bass) had all been members of Talulah Gosh, a key band of the c86 scene which preceded the indiepop movement, formed in 1986.
Heavenly debuted with the 7" single I Fell In Love Last Night, followed by another 7", Our Love Is Heavenly, both released in 1990 on Sarah Records. Heavenly Vs. Satan, the group's debut album, came out in 1991. They went on to release three more albums: Le Jardin de Heavenly, The Decline and Fall of Heavenly, and Operation Heavenly.
Shortly before the release of their final album in 1996, Mathew Fletcher, the band's drummer and Amelia's brother, committed suicide. The remaining members announced that the band name Heavenly was to be retired. The other members regrouped with a new drummer as Marine Research, a moniker under which they released a single album, 1999's Sounds From The Gulf Stream. The band's core members reformed in 2002 as Tender Trap.
A collection of their singles was released in 2020 under the title "A Bout De Heavenly." Reviewing in Pitchfork, Quinn Moreland noted "Heavenly released four studio albums, but a recent singles collection, A Bout De Heavenly, makes the case that some of their most magical work existed in smaller formats."
2. Heavenly is an Australian avant-garde, experimental band consisting of members Tiger Lily Hutchence-Geldof, Nicholas Allbrook, India Rose, Scarlett Stevens, and Jacob Diamond. The band released their first EP titled Tragic Tiger’s Sad Meltdown in March 2020 on Bandcamp.
3. Heavenly, a power metal/neo-classical metal band from Paris, France, were formed in 1994 by vocalist Benjamin Sotto and drummer Max Pilo. They were originally a cover band and played under the name of 'Satan's Lawyer' before evolving into a fully-fledged Helloween-influenced power metal outfit.
In 2000, Heavenly released their debut album 'Coming From the Sky.' Although it was largely shunned by the media, the album proved a hit with metal fans and its success helped Heavenly land an appearance at the French Hard Rock Festival.
Heavenly released their second album Sign of the Winner in 2001, and received positive feedback from both fans and media alike. After appearing at Wacken (the world's biggest metal festival) in 2002, Heavenly set to work recording their third album, 'Dust to Dust,' which was eventually released in early 2004, further solidifying their status as one of France's premier power metal bands.
P.U.N.K. Girl
Heavenly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they Don't see
The way she is with me
P is for the painful way she makes me feel some days
U is for Utopia, the other times with her
N is for the new wave dreams she had back in her teens
K is for the kid in her, my PUNK girl
She is honest and kind but in a way that people see
She has thousands of dreams but what they are I'll never know
I hope I figure in them though
I don't care if they can't see
Just how great that girl can be
But I wish, she'd find a way
To act well, for just one day
I don't mind if they can't see
Just how much she means to me
I still know what I will say
If that girl comes my way
She is hardened to hurt her softness hidden from the world
But almost ready to unfurl
She tries so hard to change but something always happens to
Persuade her its to hard to do

Line by Line Meaning
People say she's bad
People judge her without knowing her
But they Don't see
But they don't see how she is when she is with me
The way she is with me
She is different with me
P is for the painful way she makes me feel some day
P stands for how she sometimes hurts me
You is for Utopia, the other times with her
U stands for the perfect times we have together
N is for the new wave dreams she had back in her teens
N stands for her dreams and aspirations from her teenage years
K is for the kid in her, my PUNK girl
K stands for the childlike spirit in her that makes me love her as my punk girl
She is honest and kind but in a way that people see
She is honest and kind, but people interpret it as being mean and deceitful
As telling lies and being mean
People see her honesty and kindness as the opposite
She has thousands of dreams but what they are I'll never know
She has numerous aspirations and dreams that I might not even be aware of
I hope I figure in them though
But I hope that I am at least a part of them
I don't care if they can't see
I don't mind if other people can't see how great she is
Just how great that girl can be
They don't realize how amazing she can be
But I wish, she'd find a way
But I hope that she can find a way
To act well, for just one day
To be her true self for even just one day
I don't mind if they can't see
I don't care if others can't see how much she means to me
Just how much she means to me
They don't understand how much she means to me
I still know what I will say
But I know what to say
If that girl comes my way
If she comes back to me
She is hardened to hurt her softness hidden from the world
She has built up a tough exterior to protect herself, but her vulnerability is hidden from the world
But almost ready to unfurl
But she is close to letting her true self shine through
She tries so hard to change but something always happens to
She makes efforts to change, but something always prevents her
Persuade her its too hard to do
She is persuaded that it is too difficult to change
