No Laughing In Heaven Lyrics - Gillan

I used to be a sinner, used to have my cake and eat it 

They warned me of my fate, but I was quite prepared to meet it 

You'll go to Hell they smiled at me 

And told me of the roaring fires 

But I was happy living wild 

And fueling my own desires 

I was a wild man 

Drinking, smoking and messing around with women 

Lots of women 

No, not swimming, women 

 

I wanna go to Heaven 

The place to be is right up there 

I wanna go to Heaven 

It's gonna be good so I won't despair 

 

I decided to reform and pray 

Beg mercy for my soul 

I prayed in church 

Threw away my bad habits 

Prayed out of church 

Adopted an entirely different role 

I gave my money to the poor until I was poor 

But at least I ensured that I would go up there 

Instead of down below to the Inferno 

Where the evil flames of desire 

Burned higher and higher and higher 

 

I'm gonna go to Heaven 

Paid my dues so I'm getting in 

I'm gonna go to Heaven 

It's looking good if I abstain from sin 

 

I knocked on the pearly gates 

Neatly side-stepping the long queue 

Waved hi to St. Peter 

Who checked my card and let me through 

I smiled, threw my hands in the air 

Laughed and got arrested 

They said hey man, you're in the wrong place 

Your behaviour is a disgrace 

Here we pray every hour, on the hour 

Read extracts from the Bible and look solemn' 

What, says I, no party? 

No party? 

Let me out 

 

Let me out of Heaven 

I got it wrong, no I can't stay here 

No laughing in Heaven 

Let me out, I just can't stay here 

 

Well I ran around in the state of shock and panic 

This wan't what I expected 

Here was what looked like a bunch of manic depressives 

Can I get a transfer, I screamed 

But no, once you're in Heaven, you're here for good 

The good of your soul, but that's no good for me 

If you want to go to Hell you've really got to be bad 

Okay, okay, I'll be bad 

Too late 

What do you mean too late 

Too late 

No 

In the meantime 

 

Let me out of Heaven 

I've got it wrong, no I can't stay here 

No laughing in Heaven 

Oh God, it's awful here 

Going crazy in Heaven 

Take me out and let me go to hell 

No laughing in Heaven 

Don't laugh, this place is Hell
