The Number One Song in Heaven Lyrics
This is the number one song in heaven
Written, of course, by the mightiest hand
All of the angels are sheep in the fold of their master
They alwas follow the Master and his plan
This is the number one song in heaven
Why are you hearing it now, you ask
Maybe you're closer to here than you imagine
Maybe you're closer to here than you care to be
It's number one, all over heaven
It's number one, all over heaven
It's number one, all over heaven
The number one song all over heaven
If you should die before you wake
If you should die while crossing the street
The song that you'll hear, I guarantee
It's number one, all over heaven
It's number one, all over heaven
It's number one, all over heaven
The number one song all over heaven
The one that's the rage up here in the clouds
Loud s a crowd or soft as a doubt
Lyrically weak, but the music's the thing
Gabriel plays it,
God how he plays it
Gabriel plays it,
God how he plays it
Gabriel plays it,
God how he plays it
Gabriel plays it, let's hear him play it
The song filters down, down through the clouds
It reaches the earth and winds all around
And then it breaks up in millions of ways
It goes la, la, la......
In cars it becomes a hit
In your homes it becomes advertisements
And in the streets it becomes the children singing...
Written, of course, by the mightiest hand
All of the angels are sheep in the fold of their master
They alwas follow the Master and his plan
Why are you hearing it now, you ask
Maybe you're closer to here than you imagine
Maybe you're closer to here than you care to be
It's number one, all over heaven
It's number one, all over heaven
It's number one, all over heaven
The number one song all over heaven
If you should die while crossing the street
The song that you'll hear, I guarantee
It's number one, all over heaven
It's number one, all over heaven
The number one song all over heaven
Loud s a crowd or soft as a doubt
Lyrically weak, but the music's the thing
God how he plays it
Gabriel plays it,
God how he plays it
Gabriel plays it,
God how he plays it
Gabriel plays it, let's hear him play it
It reaches the earth and winds all around
And then it breaks up in millions of ways
In your homes it becomes advertisements
And in the streets it becomes the children singing...

The music of this 'song' is the typical tapioca sickliness that drowned all the 'dance music of the late seventies/early eighties. The lyrics are equally saccharine. Beware of listening if you are diabetic. Some say it was 'progressive'; others have another description

All the angels are sheep following the master. In order to succeed, in order to be the top of the field, you must succumb to writing music the way the folks in control have deemed correct. So here we are. We’re doing it their way, what do you think? This is the #1 song in heaven. This is the sort of song you have to make.

“Maybe you’re closer to here than you imagine/care to be.” Can you believe that the pinnacle is just this? Is it satisfying to know that this hollow experience is the top of the heap?
Ron Mael's typical cutting lyrics. A brilliant song and much revered by many subsequent bands such as Joy Division.
