Letra

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, won't mind the extra squeeze
I've got a few more birds down there 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 well meant
It's the hard sell or hell at the gates, 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...
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
At a slightly different height...
Written by: Dave Rotheray, Paul Heaton
