You didn't know the drill, my angel
You cut me right through the roots, my angel
White like a bag of heroin, my angel
you didn't know any remorse, my sweet
nor what it's like to be dead in heaven
the moon is blue like a reliable smuggler
you weren't familiar with gullies, my angel
nor with the sobs I hold back, my angel
You play with the rifle, my angel
You didn't know the drill, my sweet
Did you have to guess it, my sweet
To finally make love last for ever
Living life as we want
We won't pray to the heavens any worse
We'll get a full belly
Living life as it comes
We'll go to heaven if we please
We don't walk any more, but we carry on
Let the dogs bark
You didn't know the drill, my angel
My luv, my Caribbean whore, my angel
Can you see the factory chimneys, my angel
You weren't used to silence, my love
the back seat of an ambulance, my love
it's too late once you've jumped off, my love
Like an angel flying by
like a crack in the ice
like the first time you had sex
like you find out in first class
it may seem to you
it may seem a long time to you
Like an angel flying by
A stranger in the mirror
leaving a trace
it may seem disgusting to you
it may seem to you
it may seem good to you
Living life as we want
We won't pray to the heavens any worse
We'll get a full belly
We'll live life as it comes
We'll live life if we please
We don't walk any more, but we carry on
We'll take life as it comes
We'll never be a dog again
We'll reap the rewards
We'll live life as we please
We'll pray to the heavens every other day
We don't get any nearer, but we carry on.
Let the dogs bark
The caravan is far away
Let the dogs bark
The caravan is far away
You didn't follow the rules, my angel
You're lying dead in the orange kitchen
Wearing your t-shirt and your frilly jeans.
