I was always told that Angels fell to earth right out of the sky. But I’ve just seen some plough through the street In a soft-top GTI. They wear no halos or feathered wings Just low cut tops weighed down with bling. They reach for offerings from higher powers Whilst blurting out a verse so sour
From the radio distortions Where the treble and bass don’t mix. They fester in daddy’s fortunes Refuelling on Marlborough kicks. No reasons to care or give a ****. No schedule. No curfew. No back up plans. Because the coke’s *****, the merlot’s cheap They dance until they dare to sleep.
They own the roads and highway code - They drive however they like. Be it a classic Sunday saunter Or ripping up bends at ninety-five. No care for what’s wrong or morally right - Not the subtle difference between concrete and ice. Their fate is held by a suspect man With a shrouded face and a scythe in hand.
His mercy waveringly alters At the flick of a delicate switch. He knocks it upwards violently With the most convulsing of kicks. No red alert! No alarm bells ring. No saviour. No hero. No Prince Charming From Clapham to Clacton to save their souls - They’re at home watching rich boys banging in goals.
The lightest clouds from brighter skies Can’t cushion them from their fall The sight of a hematic sunset Is the last thing they shall recall. No blessing, swan songs or final words, No final pleas to be willingly heard. It’s up to Daddy if they get to relish His delicacies – or the unspeakably hellish.
