So, like... I know it’s pretty much been decided by the creators themselves that Qeen is the Good Omens soundtrack, but can we please spend a minute to consider how extremely Depeche Mode our ineffable husbands are. Like...
Crowley pining for Aziraphale:
I’ll be fine
I’ll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realise
Do we have to wait till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You can’t turn back the tide
Crowley, stop being so defensive, really:
I would tell you about the things they put me through
The pain I’ve been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I’m not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
There’ll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life livable
But when you think I’ve had enough
From your sea of love
I’ll take more than another river full
Yes, and I’ll make it all worthwhile
I’ll make your heart smile
Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That’s how my love goes
The Aziraphale theme song:
You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head it’s worse
There’s a pain
A famine in your heart
An aching to be free
Can’t you see
All love’s luxuries
Are here for you and me
And when our worlds
They fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
Of course, there’s also Aziraphale serenading Crowley:
Oh you sad one
Playing the Angel
Isn’t so easy where you’re from
Oh you wild one
Devil’s companion
You won’t stay satisfied for long
I don’t want you to change
Anything you do
I don’t want you to be
Someone else for me
Oh you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider’s web you’ve spun
Oh you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun
Stay as you are
The Darkest Star
Shining for me
Majestically
And last but not least, more than a little suggestive, your service top Crowley anthem with a Bentley cameo:
My little girl, drive anywhere
Do what you want, I don’t care
Tonight I’m in the hands of fate
I hand myself over on a plate now
Oh, little girl, there are times when I feel
I’d rather not be the one behind the wheel
Come, pull my strings
Watch me move, I do anything, please
So after all of this, it really turns out that this has been a PSA to Good Omens writers that Depeche Mode is really a goldmine for song-inspired Good Omens fanfic waiting to be written.
