Black Angel

Steve was a rebel and a boozer The AC king of teenage cool He was a clean-cut calculating cruiser Broke the heart of every kid in the school Well I never had him figured for a loser Till one morning no-one could foresee He fell in love with a sweet black angel In Brixton Market SE23 I've been in South Kent, Clapham and Cleveland I've been in love and I've been deceived But I've never been a sucker like Steven Who lost sight of everything he'd achieved Well he told me on the night he was leaving (Though I found it pretty hard to believe) You'll fall in love with the sweet black angel He said I had it coming to me I've got a friend in Borstal I've got a friend next door I've got a friend in my own double bed I've got a real friend in the law I've got a friend in Jesus But we're just good friends you see Cos I'm in love with the sweet black angel I know he's coming after me In love with the sweet black angel In love with the sweet black angel I'm in love with the sweet black angel I know he's coming after me --- Black Angel - Tom Robinson Band
