On top of the sky is a place where you go if you've done nothing wrong
If you've done nothing wrong
And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy
If you've been a bad boy
Why can't we have eternal life
And never die
Never die?
In the place up above you grow feather wings and you fly round and round
With a harp singing hymns
And down in the ground you grow horns and a tail and you carry a fork
And burn away
Why can't we have eternal life, and never die
Never die?
If you've done nothing wrong
And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy
If you've been a bad boy
Why can't we have eternal life
And never die
Never die?
In the place up above you grow feather wings and you fly round and round
With a harp singing hymns
And down in the ground you grow horns and a tail and you carry a fork
And burn away
Why can't we have eternal life, and never die
Never die?

That's odd that the band didn't like this song, because they used it frequently to open their concerts and decided to make a studio version of it which by the way kicks major ass. The meanings very obvious but call me crazy, this has got to be if not my favourite who song.
@heyjude55 -- Me too. It's almost my new favorite Who song. Just discovered it (at age 55) a couple weeks ago!
