Maggie's Flock Lyrics
"battle Somg"

The day that I died was a terrible day
'Cos I lived my hole life in a unholy way
The rules of the Lord I did never obey
I was sure I would not go to heaven

But the big pearly gates they were opened up wide
There was no-one around so I just stepped inside
The place was all cloudy and terribly white
Who'd have thought I would make it to heaven

There were beautiful women with harps and with bells
The music was pleasant and so were the smells
But begad, there was not much of anything else
So I looked for some action in heaven

I went searching for Phil who had died in his cell
And Madame Lafleur from the Brothel Hotel
They were probably having an orgy in hell
'Cos they sure weren't up here in heaven

There was nothing to do here but sit and rejoice
No sex and no drinking no betting no noise
I wouldn't have stayed if I had any choice
I was bored beyond death here in heaven

But then out of the clouds the old man did appear
He said to me son do you like it down here
I said NO! I would kill for a bucket of beer
Are you sure that this really is heaven?

He laughed at me "Laddy, you've got it all wrong
Did you think that in hell there'd be drinking and song?
You'll stay here for as long as eternity's long
Did you really think you'd go to heaven?"

now I'm bored beyond death here in hell
now I'm bored beyond death here in hell
now I'm bored beyond death here in hell
now I'm bored beyond death here in hell
now I'm bored beyond death here in hell
now I'm bored beyond death here in,
HELL!
