Angela Surf City Lyrics
Angela, holds a grudge over nothing
Angela, what's the difference?
Today's a day like any other
Still the flags snap in the wind
Still your name rang true
You took the high road
I couldn't find you, up there
You kept your jaw wired closed
I never noticed before
I used to see the signs
Now I dream of the time
I was holding onto you
For a lack of anything to do
Still the whitecaps roll away
Still your name rings true
Mine is yours, yours is yours
Life goes on, life goes on all around you
Let's go home happy again
Just take your head from your hands
Take up the cause, just once more
I never noticed before
I used to see the signs
Now I dream of the time
I was holding onto you
For a lack of anything to do
Back to school, back to work
Can this go on forever?
Angela, what's the difference?
Life goes on all around you..
Angela, what's the difference?
Today's a day like any other
Still your name rang true
I couldn't find you, up there
You kept your jaw wired closed
I never noticed before
Now I dream of the time
I was holding onto you
For a lack of anything to do
Still your name rings true
Mine is yours, yours is yours
Life goes on, life goes on all around you
Just take your head from your hands
Take up the cause, just once more
I never noticed before
Now I dream of the time
I was holding onto you
For a lack of anything to do
Can this go on forever?
Angela, what's the difference?
Life goes on all around you..

most rocking song on the album.
My favorite song on the new album, which is great. These guys never disappoint. Saw them with The National in Vancouver 2 weeks ago, and this song was excellent live.
Sounds like Angela kept things to herself, wouldn't communicate her feelings and he's feeling a bit of unrequited love now. Very cinematic song to me. I picture him sitting on a windy beach at night pondering this relationship...
Here are some corrections to the lyrics:
In the 2nd verse, I think it's: Still the flags snap in the wind
In the 3rd verse, it's: You kept your jaw wired closed
In the 4th verse, it's: I used to see the signs
In the 5th verse, it's: Still the whitecaps roll away
In the 6th verse, it's: Let's go home happy again
