I didn’t know the gun was loaded
When I put it to my head.
But now I’ve gone and pulled the trigger
I’m glad inside. Now I’ve up and died.
I’m glad I’m dead.
I always knew you didn’t love me.
You married just to give the kids a name.
For what they’re worth I don’t know why you bothered.
They’re all freaks arrested every week.
They’re all insane.
All the money I left you
You’ll have you spend on funeral dues.
You’ll have to pawn the kids and the new car.
Either that or starve you’ll have to chose.
I knocked on the gates of heaven.
And wouldn’t it just be my luck
To pick the week the lord’s on holiday.
I banged the door. Screamed out "what’s the score"?
Out for a duck.
When at last the gates did open.
Peter asked what was my greatest sin.
I told him of my life in England.
Three bastards and a wife
Who wished I weren’t alive.
He let me in.
All the money I left you
You’ll have you spend on funeral dues.
You’ll have to pawn the kids and the new car.
Either that or starve you’ll have to chose.
When J.C. came back from vacation.
He took my name and looked me around.
He said "now son, your going stoking fires".
I said "there’s some mistake".
He said "you’re just a fake.
You’re going down.
I looked straight into the face of the saviour
'N' said now Jesus, just you look a here
Already once I've seen that movie,
But I called her wife
In my first life
For twenty years".
