lyrics

HEAVEN OR HELL (OR HIGHGATE)

Standing in the graveyard in the sight of our dear Lord,
As the ritual the good Reverend intones.
Feeling very little, except rather cold and bored,
In this place of beauty and bones.

I'm drunk, but not drunk enough the sermon to believe,
And typically, it's just started to rain.
I'm pondering a mystery as I pretend to grieve,
A simple question that's haunting my brain...

Where do atheists go when they die?
To Heaven, or Hell, or Highgate?
Do they soar up to the angels on high?
Or sink down into Hell, to be tortured and cry?
Or simply expire, like a tired may-fly,
In Heaven, or Hell, or Highgate?

Are there atheists hedging their bets
On their fate once they've been clapped in hard-board?
Do we fade out like dropped cigarettes?
Or will I be full of surprising regrets?
And will I have finally settled my debts,
Or will I be buried in cardboard?

At three grand a plot I can't lie here to rot,
When one day I meet my doom,
Though it's still much cheaper than where I am living,
And frankly, has twice as much room.

That's London for you.

When my sun finally sets in the West,
Beyond Heaven, and Hell, and Highgate.
There'll be no sin left to be confessed,
And I won't be around to be lauded and blessed.
I know – when I go – I'll be glad of the rest,
So my question to you, is 'why wait?'

Screw Heaven, and Hell...
I'll take Highgate.
