[00:01.24] Songs Title:the gates
[00:06.06] Woman goes to heaven, it's not important when
[00:12.43] 'Cause as soon as she arrives God has to send her down again
[00:17.17] 'You've got an extra five years to clean up after men'
[00:21.35] 'I mean no disrespect God, but you better make it ten'
[00:28.21] Well if heaven's an improvement I won't mind the extra squeeze
[00:35.83] I've got a few more birds down there God, after losing bees
[00:41.26] Trying to lose their bees
[00:46.37] So don't be shocked who queue-jumps or who just calmly waits
[00:55.23] A certain type of behaviour the guest list just creates
[01:03.47] No time for lively discussion
[01:08.08] No time for televised debates
[01:13.45] The well-meaning soon become the well meant
[01:19.38] It's the hard sell or hell at the gates
[01:22.81] Alcoholic finds himself outside the pearly gates
[01:34.18] I've only got one worry God, a few outstanding slates
[01:38.61] Any tab you used to have's been passed to so called mates
[01:43.35] And after they've paid-up they're off to the land of empty crates
[01:49.03] Heaven is a glass, neither half empty nor half full
[01:56.21] So do us all a favour God and give that thing a pull
[02:02.51] Give that thing a pull
[02:06.56] So don't be shocked who queue-jumps or who just calmly waits
[02:15.30] A certain type of behaviour the guest list just creates
[02:24.26] No time for lively discussion
[02:27.81] No time for televised debates
[02:32.80] The well-meaning soon become the well meant
[02:37.72] It's the hard sell or hell at the gates
[02:40.91] the gates
[02:46.03] Model turns up hours late, he had to get it right
[02:53.26] If you're gonna look cool in heaven wear something more than white
[02:57.07] Vanity's close to arrogance, just slightly more polite
[03:01.50] Fashion show a jumble sale at a slightly different height
[03:07.05]
[03:10.18] a slightly different height
[03:10.99] So don't be shocked who queue-jumps or who just calmly waits
[03:20.16] A certain type of behaviour the guest list just creates
[03:27.28] No time for lively discussion
[03:32.27] No time for televised debates
