It's been five months since you went away
Left without a word and nothing to say (nothing to say)
When I was the one who gave you my heart and soul
But it wasn't good enough for you, no
So I asked God

God, send me an angel
From the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
'Cause all I do is cry (is cry)
God, send me an angel
To wipe the tears from my eyes

And I know it might sound crazy
But after all that, I still loved you
You wanna come back in my life
But now there's somethin' that I have to do
I have to tell the one that I once adored
That they can't have my love no more
'Cause my heart can't take no more lies
And my eyes are all out of cries
So, God

God, send me an angel
From the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
'Cause all I do is cry (all I do is cry)
God, send me an angel (send me an angel)
To wipe the tears from my eyes

Now you had me on my knees
Begging God please to send you back to me
I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep
And you made me feel like I could not breathe
When I, all I wanted to do was feel your touch
And to give you all of my love (give you all of my love)
But you took my love for granted
Want my lovin' now, but you can't have it
Oh, God

God, send me an angel (send me an angel)
From the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love (oh, oh, God)
'Cause all I do is cry (is cry)
God, send me an angel (send me an angel)
To wipe the tears from my eyes

Oh, oh, God, send me (God, send me an angel)
An angel, oh, I'm begging you God (wipe the tears from my eyes)
Send me an angel from the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my heart (God, send me an angel)
From being in love (send me an angel)
Oh, God, send me an angel
Send me an angel (send me an angel)
Oh, oh, God

    This song is about the inevitable low that comes with cocaine indulgence. Praying for something, anything, to take this feeling away…

    Please send me an Angel or whatever the f**ck will make me feel better! Damn this sucks! I need more coke!

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
