Everybody Loves You When You're Dead Lyrics - Singles - Stranglers

They crucify you when you get it wrong 

When things are fine they put you ahead 

They laugh at you with your trousers down 

They pick the stones and aim them at you're head 

When you're alive, they won't care what you said 

What you deserve and all the blood you bled 

Doesn't matter what you try to hide 

The sun comes out and then the truth is read 

Your fans will love you while you're alive 

But the wreaths are laid by the rest instead 

When you're alive they won't care what you said 

What you deserve and all the blood you bled

'Cause everybody loves you when you're dead 

Kneel and pray by the side of your bed 

And then everybody loves you when you're dead 

Kneel and pray just like your momma said
