Gillan - No Laughing In Heaven текст песни

Текст песни No Laughing In Heaven - Gillan




I used to be a sinner
Used to have my cake and eat it
They warned me of my fate
But I was quite prepared to meet it
You're going to hell
They smiled at me
And told me of the roaring fires
But I was happy living wild
And fuelling my own desires
I was a wild man
Drinking, smoking and messing around with women
Lots of women
No, not swimming
Women, women
I want to go to heaven
The place to be is right up there
I want to go to heaven
It's going to be good
So I won't despair
I decided to reform and pray
Beg mercy for my soul
I prayed in church
Threw away my bad habits
Prayed out of church
Adopted an entirely different role
I gave money to the poor
And said I was poor
But at least I'm sure
That I would go up there
Instead of down and below
To the inferno
Where the evil flames of desire
Burn higher and higher and higher
And higher and higher
I'm going to go to heaven
I paid my dues so I'm getting in
I'm going to go to heaven
It's looking good if I escape from sin
I knocked on the pearly gates
Neatly sidestepping the long queue
Waved hi to Saint Peter
Who checked my card and let me through
I smiled, threw my hands in the air
And laughed and got arrested
They said, "Hey man, you're in the wrong place
Your behaviour is a disgrace
Here we pray every hour on the hour
And read extracts from the Bible and look solemn"
What, says I, no party?
No party?
Let me out
Let me out of heaven
I got it wrong, no, I can't stay here
No laughing in heaven
Let me out, I just can't stay here
Well, I ran around in a state of shock and panic
This wasn't what I expected
Here was what looked like
A bunch of manic depressives
"Can I get a transfer?" I screamed
But no, once you're in heaven
You're here for good
The good of your soul
But that's no good to me
If you want to go to hell
You've really got to be bad
Okay, okay, I'll be bad, I'll be bad
Too late
What do you mean too late?
Too late
No
In the meantime
Oh, let me out of heaven
I got it wrong, no, I can't stay here
No laughing in heaven
Oh God, it's awful here
Go crazy in heaven
Take me out, let me go to hell
No laughing in heaven
Don't laugh, this place is hell
