Everytime a Churchbell Rings

(Okay guys, let’s hit that line)

[Verse 1]
When Bonny-Clive was 23, he took a dive from the balcony
Embarrassing his blushing bride who took her red face for a ride
To Blackpool and the pouring rain
She went out on the evening train
And came in with the morning tide as another seaside suicide

[Verse 2]
It was summertime when Sally Clarke suffered from a broken heart
That left her down and out of touch
The patron saint of nothing much
No charity, no faith, no hope
She'd seen it on her favourite soap
Take fifty thousand million pills and don't forget to pay the bills

[Verse 3]
Well, I remember Micky Doyle
He shuffled off this mortal coil
With no message for "that special girl"
Just, "Thank you and goodbye, cruel world"
Then for the sake of Auld Lang Syne
He put his head on the railway line
Looked up at the morning sun and waited for the train to come

[Verse 4]
The TV repossessed and so I tune in to the radio
Where the DJ's playing the same old songs
To whistle while you're signing on
Give me the beat, boy, and free my soul
Fill my pockets up with gold
I'll leave a message on the fridge and drive my car off London Bridge
But London Bridge is falling down
There ain't no gold in Silvertown
So I'm cancelling my driving test and walking back to happiness
Woopah, oh yeah-yeah

[Outro]
Every time a church bell rings
Another angel gets its wings
