From Guy Garvey’s official Facebook page:
“The song is about abandoning faith in everything but the woman you love. I’m actually quite hopeful for the future but I couldn’t resist the chance to have a pop in a pop song.”
[Verse 1]
Good book but you got no proof
And I feel no joy
And I've been looking for my truth
Since God was a boy
Tried faith in humanity
No No No No No
But it sure made a man of me
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
[Chorus]
I was headed for an early grave
'Til I washed up on her tide
Yes I believe
In Angela's eyes
[Verse 2]
Skipped on school and I ditched self-help
And I never knew a leader to lead
Eton mess you're a lie made flesh
In a house full of robbers and thieves
No sign from the zodiac
No No No No No
And I want my fucking money back
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
[Chorus]
I'm a disciple of the woman's love
And her counsel kind and wise
Yes I believe
In Angela's eyes
Yes I believe
In Angela's eyes
[Verse 3]
Good book but you got no proof
And I feel no joy
And I've been looking for my truth
Since God was a boy
Tried faith in humanity
No No No No No
But it sure made a man of me
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
[Chorus]
I'm a believer in a perfect girl
In a world of brazen lies
Yes I believe
In Angela's eyes
Yes I believe
In Angela's eyes
