Story Behind The Song

Travelled in America (from Australia) for 5 weeks, and came across different cultures and lifestyles. It;s a song about the adventures, and some of the sad things, like homeless people and being aware of drive by shootings and gangs etc in LA. How different people perceive life differently.

Lyrics

Angel



Walk’n, Talk’n say your prayers
Stand up and fight there’s a gun in your hand
You don’t know what you’re doing, but you just don’t care


Chorus : People on the streets are dying
They’re living their lives like it’s just one breath
Make sure you’re gone, when the sun has gone


There’s a bum in the street, he’s walk’n real slow
There’s a bum in the park, but he don’t know
Dimi gave him $5, to know his name, he don’t care

The eyes in the dark are looking real slow
They’ve got their beds and that’s all they know
A life of freedom, no-one to touch

Angel
Angel

Chorus

Took a wrong turn at the wrong end of town
Don’t get out, ‘cause the people are down
Your body’s a mess, but you still carry on

He said, “I’m not gonna hurt you, I need money to ride”
The girls are on stage and the games are outside
Music for love, it won’t be denied.
