Heaven to Hell Songtext

von Tiger Lillies

Worum geht es in dem Song?

In dem Songtext "Heaven to Hell" von "Tiger Lillies" geht es um die Erwartungen an den Himmel und die Enttäuschung, die ...

I thought I'd be happy in heaven
I thought it would be swell
I thought I'd be happy in heaven
In fact I'm as unhappy as hell

The harps, they all bore me
St. Peter's jokes are a farce
The angels look down their noses
Because I'm from a different class

St. Mathews discovered religion
He converts people every day
Whenever he gets near me
I tell him to go away

St. Christopher, I've been rude to him
I told him what he could do with his staff
I told him where he could stick it
And he didn't laugh

Only old Mary is good'un
Yeah, she's a good sort
She's generous with everyone
She's a good sport

And God, he's a miserable bastard
He's always making up rules
I'm terribly disillusioned
I think he's a silly old fool

Jesus, he plays the guitar
He sings like Joni Mitchell
I thought I'd be happy in heaven
But in fact I'm unhappy as hell
