Heaven Has Another Angle

from Advert For The Deprived by Sweeney Straddles The Sun

/

lyrics

Barry Mackenzie underestimated the
Fallout from his lustful rendezvous wae Lizzie-Jane
He never backin' doon, he always lookin' roon
Better watch his back because

Lizzie-Jane Kelly
Seasoned professional, urbanite conflict
Brings her few challenges
He never texted back, she got her brother Jack
Who in turn reached oot fur hauners
And he pulled up his brief ootside The Noble Chief
And they took it way too far
They took it way too far

Never gonny get yerself missed
Like a six foot one pacifist
The 'Legend' page announced you've arrived
Like an advert for the deprived
I'm gonny lose the plot, he's gone but never forgot
An angle up in heaven

"Anne-Marie? Anne-Marie? Ha ha, yer son's deid
...ya daft auld bastard!"
"Who ye talkin' tae?!"
"You ya auld boot!"
Heaven has another angle

Anne-Marie Downie, she's the only person who
Visits his gravestone, any mother'd dae the same
She thinks it's such a crime, how naebody takes the time
Fuck they barely made the funeral
Annie tried messagin', but he's no' loggin' in
Trust the deid tae lose their passwords
The tears streamed doon her chin
They never noticed him
Only care when it affects them
"Annie, please come tae bed."

Never gonny get yerself missed
Like a six foot one pacifist
The 'Legend' page announced you've arrived
Like an advert for the deprived
I'm gonny lose the plot, he's gone but never forgot
An angle up in heaven

Kevin put the bottle doon noo

Kevin O'Donnell, opportune recidivist
Seizes the moment dishin' oot a Glesga Kiss
He turns his Burberry to face the other way
Thinks it makes his heidbutts stronger
Then there's the next in line, a guy called Joe Devine
Then another ninety-thousand
And it keeps goin' on
An' on
