Paroles de la chanson Harps and Angels par Randy Newman
Hasn't anyody seen me lately
I'll tell you why
Hasn't anybody seen me lately
I'll tell you why
I caught something made me so sick
That I thought that I would die
And I almost did too
First my knees begin to tremble
My heart begin to pound
First my knees begin to tremble
My heart begin to pound
It was arrhythmic and out of tune
I lost my equilibrium
And fell face down upon the ground
I'll tell you why
Hasn't anybody seen me lately
I'll tell you why
I caught something made me so sick
That I thought that I would die
And I almost did too
First my knees begin to tremble
My heart begin to pound
First my knees begin to tremble
My heart begin to pound
It was arrhythmic and out of tune
I lost my equilibrium
And fell face down upon the ground
As I lay there on that cold pavement
A tear ran down my face
Cause I thought I was dying
You boys know I'm not a religious man
But I sent a prayer out just in case
You never know
Lo and behold almost immediately
I had reason to believe my prayer had been heard
In a very special place
(This is what happened)
I heard this sound
Ooooh
Yes
Oooh
Yes, it was harps and angels
Harps and angels coming near
A tear ran down my face
Cause I thought I was dying
You boys know I'm not a religious man
But I sent a prayer out just in case
You never know
Lo and behold almost immediately
I had reason to believe my prayer had been heard
In a very special place
(This is what happened)
I heard this sound
Ooooh
Yes
Oooh
Yes, it was harps and angels
Harps and angels coming near
I was too sick to roll over and see them
But I could hear them singin' ever so beautifully
In my ear
Then the sound began to subside
And they sounded like background singers
And a voice come down from the heavens above
It was a voice full of anger from the Old Testament
And a voice full of love from the New One
And the street lit up like it was the middle of the day
And I lay there quiet and listened to what that
Voice had to say
He said, "You ain't been a good man
You ain't been a bad man
But you've been pretty bad
But I could hear them singin' ever so beautifully
In my ear
Then the sound began to subside
And they sounded like background singers
And a voice come down from the heavens above
It was a voice full of anger from the Old Testament
And a voice full of love from the New One
And the street lit up like it was the middle of the day
And I lay there quiet and listened to what that
Voice had to say
He said, "You ain't been a good man
You ain't been a bad man
But you've been pretty bad
Lucky for you this ain't your time
Someone very dear to me has made another
Clerical error and
We're here on a bit of a wild goose chase
But I want to tell you a few things
That'll hold you in good stead when it is your time
So you better listen close
I'm only going to say this once
When they lay you on the table
Better keep your business clean
When they lay you on the table
Better keep your business clean
Don't want no back stabbing, ass grabbing
You know exactly what I mean
Alright girls - we're outta here"

Ooooh
"Encore. Encore."
Ooooh
(He spoke French)
"Tres bien
Encore!"
And off they went into the night
Almost immediately I felt better
And I come round to see you boys
Cause you know we ain't living right
And while it was fresh
I wanted to tell you what he told me
He said, "When they lay you on the table
Better keep your business clean
When they lay you on the table
"Encore. Encore."

When they lay you on the table
Better keep your business clean
Else there won't be no harps and angels
Coming for you
It'll be trombones, kettle drums, pitchforks
And tambourines."
Sing it like they did for me
Ooooh (yes)
Ooooh (beautiful)
Wish I spoke French
So actually the main thing about this story is, for me
There really is an afterlife
And I hope to see all of you there
Let's go get a drink
Else there won't be no harps and angels
Coming for you
It'll be trombones, kettle drums, pitchforks
And tambourines."
