Bat outta hell

So this song started playing in the car as we were driving to meet Anshuman's cousin for tea. He turned up the volume saying the song reminded him of me. I began listening to it very carefully and the first words that I understood were "Like a bat outta hell I'll be gone when the morning comes". I looked at my husband with are-you-fucking-kidding-me eyes and he quickly said ,"No no the part that reminds me of you comes later." So I listened on.

And then there were some more unintelligible lyrics after which my husband sang on top of his voice," Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven I'll come on crawling back to you." I burst out laughing so loud a tear escaped on to my cheek. He's so adorably funny my wonderful husband.

Here's the song and the lyrics. Enjoy

Bat outta hell by Meatloaf

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling

Way down in the valley tonight

There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye

And a blade shining oh so bright

There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky

And a killer's on the bloodshot streets

Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising

Oh I swear I saw a young boy

Down in the gutter

He was starting to foam in the heat

Oh Baby, you're the only thing in this whole world

That's pure and good and right

And wherever you are and wherever you go

There's always gonna be some light

But I gotta get out

I gotta break it out now

Before the final crack of dawn

So we gotta make the most of our one night together

When it's over you know

We'll both be so alone

Like a bat out of hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes

When the night is over

Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone

Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes

But when the day is done

And the sun goes down

And moonlight's shining through

Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven

I'll come crawling on back to you
