Angela's Eyes Lyrics

Good book but you've 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

I was heading for an early grave
Till I washed up on her tide
Yes I believe
In Angela's eyes

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.

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

Good book but you've 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

I'm a believer in a perfect girl
In a world of brazen lies
Yes I believe
In Angela's eyes

Cover art for Angela's Eyes lyrics by Guy Garvey

Guy says about this song;

"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."

There are particular references to religion in verse 1 and David Cameron and the British Conservative government (Eton Mess) as well as the Houses of Parliament in general (house full of robbers and thieves), in verse 2.
