Gareth Gates · Other Songs - Gareth Gates
Hold on Hold, Sa-Re-Ga, OK ready
Ammi, Ready? Ready.
When i die and they lay me to rest,
Gonna go to the place thats the best
When they lay me down to die,
Going up to the spirit in the sky
Going up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
Thats where im gonna go when i die (when i die)
When i die and they lay me to rest,
I'm gonna go to the place thats the best
(What, Wembley? Not wembley you idiot, he means heaven!
I thought we got reincarnated?
I want to come back as Gareth's Hair Gel!)
Prepare yourself, you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in jesus (Or Krishnaa!),
So you know that when you die,
He's gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky
(spirit in the sky)
Going up to the spirit in the sky
That's where i'm gonna go when i die(when i die)
When i die, and they lay me to rest,
I'm gonna go to the place thats the best
(Could you be more specific?
Is it driving distance?
Would you need a comfort blanket?
There better not be stairs wherever it is.
Shut up this is my big sitar solo!)
(Sanjeev, keep it down, the neighbours!)
Never been a sinner, I've never sinned,
I've got a friend in jesus (He's so sweet)
So you know that when i die,
He's gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky
Whoa, set me up with the spirit in the sky(spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when i die(when I die)
When i die and they lay me to rest,
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Whoa, set me up with the spirit in the sky(spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when i die(when i die)
When I die and they lay me to rest,
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Going up to the spirit in the sky
That's where i'm gonna go when I die(when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest,
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
(Yeah well you've said that but where?)
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
(An address would be helpful)
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
(I don't think he knows)
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
(He keeps saying the same thing)
Well, what do u reckon?
Is Will Young available?
Spirit In The Sky
Gareth Gates delivers a soaring pop-rock anthem featuring The Kumurs on 'Spirit In The Sky.' The track blends Gates' signature melodic sensibility with the band's characteristic blend of folk and punk energy, creating a dynamic recording that captures the spirit of late 1990s alternative rock. While often associated with their collaborative work, the song stands as a testament to Gates' ability to craft emotionally resonant hooks that transcend genre boundaries. The production highlights the interplay between Gates' vocal delivery and the rhythmic drive of The Kumurs, resulting in a track that remains a staple in discussions of the era's most energetic indie-pop collaborations. It exemplifies the fusion of technical proficiency and raw emotional expression that defined much of the independent music scene of the time.
