about

In which we meet God, decadent aristocrat, absentee
slum Landlord/Lady and Grade-A scoundrel

lyrics

Canvassing the blighted, unwashed and benighted
How d’you do? Delighted
(Time I wasn’t there)
All skiving, playing hooky, from barroom back to bookie
Let’s have a little looky,
Ooh, nothing to declare

Where angels mend and mind me
Devil gets behind me
You know where to find me
Up the lonely stairs

My lord the chinless wonder and Lady Muck the younger
Shall never want, nor hunger
Nor work an honest day
So pile me with the dead wood
For services to the common good, a peerage or a
knighthood
And send me on my way

Where angels mend and mind me
Devil gets behind me
You know where to find me
Oh so lonely,

Did you say an honest job?
God help me,
You and someone else’s mob?
Don’t make me laugh

Lalalalalala!

Lalalalalala!

So angels mend and mind me
Devil get behind me
You know where to find me
Oh so lonely
Wherever I wander, tears I never squander
Come on up from under
And up the lonely stairs
Oooh, come on up from under
And up the lonely stairs
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Oooh, come on up from under
And up the lonely stairs
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Oooh, come on up from under
Up the lonely stairs
Up the lonely stairs
