gods.... I don't know what is with me today... for some reason I had the song "Angel of Deception" by The The in my mind... I felt motivated since it was just "burning a hole" in my brain to come post the lyrics on GothicNet.
Then whilst listening to the mp3 to make sure the lyrics I nicked off one of those awful, ad-ridden lyric sites were right, I hear "Sweet Bird of Truth" come up on the mp3 player as the second random song afterwards.
So, as much as I hate to follow a post with another of mine... here's a double dose of The The (Matt Johnson)
"Angels of Deception" - The The
Well its high noon at the U.K. corral,
& its high time I got myself back on the rails,
I'm the lonesome cowboy, ridin across the range,
with just a hand held radio--to keep me sane,
ridin through the FM stations, the tumbleweed,
and the petrol stations,
Will all on board this yankee station
Prepare themselves for battle stations--
(chorus)
Jesus Wept. Jesus CHRIST.
I can't see for the tear gas and the dollar signs in my eyes.
Well, whats a man got left to fight for
when he's bought his freedom
by the look of this human jungle
It aint just the poor who'll be bleeding!
Most everyone round here thinks they're something special
that destiny will be kind--
While they're digging for gold, diving for pearls,
& aiming for heaven from this man made world.
Well...
Come on down--the devil's in town
He's brought you sticks and stones
to bust your neighbors bones,
he's stuck his missiles in your gardens,
& his theories down your throat--
& god knows what your gonna do with him
Cos I certainly don't
(chorus)
Jesus Wept. Jesus CHRIST.
I can't see for the tear gas and the dollar signs in my eyes.
Well, whats a man got left to fight for
when he's bought his freedom
by the look of this human jungle
It aint just the poor who'll be bleeding!
Down by the river, I've been washing out my mouth,
cos deep in the heart of me
there's a frightened man breaking out.
Oh I was just looking for paradise
anywhere in this world
While they're gunning for heaven--
from this man made hell!!!
well, oh ho (x7)
The angels... angels of deception...
Angels of Destruction...
Angels of Deception...
