The Gates |
| Woman goes to heaven, it’s not important when |
| 'Cause as soon as she arrives God has to send her down again |
| 'You've got an extra five years to clean up after men' |
| 'I mean no disrespect God, but you better make it ten' |
| Well if heaven’s an improvement I won’t mind the extra squeeze |
| I’ve got a few more birds down there God, after losing bees |
| Trying to lose their bees |
| So don’t be shocked who queue-jumps or who just calmly waits |
| A certain type of behaviour the guest list just creates |
| No time for lively discussion |
| No time for televised debates |
| The well-meaning soon become the well meant |
| It’s the hard sell or hell at the gates |
| Alcoholic finds himself outside the pearly gates |
| I’ve only got one worry God, a few outstanding slates |
| Any tab you used to have’s been passed to so called mates |
| And after they’ve paid-up they’re off to the land of empty crates |
| Heaven is a glass, neither half empty nor half full |
| So do us all a favour God and give that thing a pull |
| Give that thing a pull |
| So don’t be shocked who queue-jumps or who just calmly waits |
| A certain type of behaviour the guest list just creates |
| No time for lively discussion |
| No time for televised debates |
| The well-meaning soon become the well meant |
| It’s the hard sell or hell at the gates |
| Model turns up hours late, he had to get it right |
| If you’re gonna look cool in heaven wear something more than white |
| Vanity’s close to arrogance, just slightly more polite |
| Fashion show a jumble sale at a slightly different height |
| So don’t be shocked who queue-jumps or who just calmly waits |
| A certain type of behaviour the guest list just creates |
| No time for lively discussion |
| No time for televised debates |
| The well-meaning soon become the well meant |
| It’s the hard sell or hell at the gates |
