Newtown Neurotics
Angela (Live at Brunel University, London 1987)
I can't help it I keep falling asleep
Twelve hours of the day in bed are doing absolutely nothing for me
You work the day, I sleep away and that causes trouble at night
When I want you, you are too tired and I am wide-awake
Well in the morning when you rise, I don't move
'Cos I've tossed and turned the night disturbing you
Oh what the hell I'm I supposed to do?
Chorus:
Oh Angela, Angela, Dear Angela
You are breaking my heart
I can't afford to go out and you hate staying in
And we're both sick and tired of you paying for everything
It's an easy come, easy go, kind of life
When you both earn a wage, it broadens out your life
Who were you drinking with last night?
Chorus:
Oh Angela, Angela, Dear Angela
You are breaking my heart
Have you heard the news, soon they'll send children down the mines
Oh what's new, they used to do that in Victorian times
Have you heard the news, youth unemployment is stable again
It's not what it seems, they're all on training schemes
You are my world, I've nothing else to fill each lonely day
And in the quiet of the afternoon, I hear my life tick... tock... away
Well, a room can be a prison when you're kept in
You need money for everything
Durex, cigarettes, travel and booze
Angela, I swear I'm missing you
I want you, I need you
I want you, I need you
Chorus:
Oh Angela, Angela, Dear Angela
You are breaking my heart
Come on please reply to me now
Chorus:
Angela, Angela, Dear Angela
You are breaking my heart
