If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on,
you'll see devils tearing your life away.
But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels.
Freeing you from the earth.

My mistake.  My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain were not British bands and have, therefore, been subtracted from my list.
