Blue Angel

When we were kids
I was your friend
Watching you grow
You didn't get much of the love
Most of us know

Oh oh blue angel
I can't put you down
I should know better
I grew up in your part of town
And I can bless my good fortune
I came through it fine
Oh oh blue angel
You will always be a good old
Friend of mine

How many years
Since you took off
With your guitar
Joining a band
And singing sad songs
Round the bar

Oh oh blue angel
Guess I should have known
That's not a good life
For a girl far away from home

When you were sad, poor and lonely
Too proud to let on
Oh oh blue angel
All your better times
Just never came along

Now the gentlemen of Soho
Buy your kindness and your smile
And your flesh is just a souvenir
Of London for a while
But I know what keeps you going
What you spend your money on
Some pusher man from hell
Has got you hooked on all that's wrong
And a pretty dress don't cover up your eyes
And I won't forget the emptiness
I found in your disguise

Lalalala

Oh oh blue angel
I can't put you down
I should know better
I grew up in your part of town
