about

In which a disgruntled corpse, dissatisfied with what could be viewed as the somewhat laissez-faire attitude to afterlife governance, challenges the angels to a punch-up.

lyrics

Let us not speak of sin
Let us not speak of sin
I know not where to end,
know not where to begin
Be we blessed or begrudged,
may all judges be judged

Bloody angels on high,
are you too drunk to fly?
Bloody angels, hey come out tonight!

Who is here without sin?
Who is here without sin?
Where there’s no getting out,
and no getting back in
Do we lie where we fall?
I’m returning your call

Bloody angels on high,
are you too drunk to fly?
Bloody angels, hey come out!
Is it clouds where you lurk?
Are you too proud to work?
Bloody angels, hey come out tonight!

Heaven ignores me,
eternity bores me
we’re damned from afar,
and I can’t find the bar

Bloody angels on high,
are you too drunk to fly?
Bloody angels, hey come out!
Do you lounge in the sky?
Much too proud to reply?
Bloody angels hey come out tonight!
Bloody angels hey come out tonight!
