[Intro]
    


[Verse 1]
         
God died today
              
He left me in 

    
the cold
              
He stumbled do

     
wn a path
              
He died upon h

   
is knees on
              
The way to the

 
 commode


[Verse 2]
         
God died today
              
He skid in pou

     
ring rain
              
With his feet 

          
up on the dash
              
Right off the 

         
Chelsea Bridge

, Lord
              
Was hardly see

    
n again


[Chorus]
          
The gigs were 

        
overlong
            
And most of th

          
em mundane
           
And the weathe

             
r climbed to t

              
wenty-somethin

       
g centigrade
          
And I, I've ne

             
ver been in Lo

          
ndon this time

 of year
          
It's nice, but

             
 I couldn't wa

              
it to slowly d


isappear


[Verse 3]
       
He died today
              
And hе did it 

        
with a smile
              
Threw his body

        
 in the bag
             
Thrеw on the I


TV, Lord
              
And laughed a 

       
little while


[Verse 4]
             
In a kind of w

/
ay
              
It makes me fe

      
el at home
              
Superfluous as

 
 shit
              
Digestible and

 
 free, Lord
              
Within reach a

      
nd my control

Throw the kettle on


[Chorus]
          
The gigs were 

         
overlong
            
And none of us

          
 got paid
           
And the weathe

             
r climbed to t

              
hirty-somethin

       
g centigrade
          
And Christ, yo

 London this t

ime of year?
          
It's nice, thi

You raised me 

up now
              
And pulled me

And filled me

[Outro]

How normal all

How tragic all

Thereafter, th

The real enrap

But anyway, I 

plan to stay
           
Attend the wee

Thereafter, th

Tagaloa cried 

and said, "Tho

Don't waste a 

           
minute of this

And he picked 

me up just lik

And carried me

           
 south-east, w

         
here the city
