Beautiful South, The - angels and devils Lyrics

Beautiful South, The
gaze
angels and devils
planin permision tied to post
we read when were waiting for bus
its always double checked
cause we so often suspect
they plan to build something on us
and what they'll build neither here nor there
its what they'll bury that counts
and how far down they'l push us this time and how far back up we'll bounce

Angels were born with wings not springs
devil always born with horns
and beuatuiful bird only bothers to sing
if beautiful day ever dawns

angels and devils aint so easy to spot
as movies like to portray
a devil appears with a cunning veneer
you often only notice to late
if he says he's got wings keep an eye out for sprigs
make sure your angel is real
and off al of those things its the song that he sings
and how the song makes you feel

Angels were born with souls not goals
devil only search for the high
beuatiful bird sing from telegraph poles
and devil song fils the whole sky

yes bird song belongs in the highest of places not where devil performs
beautiful bird and song
shouldnt bother to sing if audience mutters and yawns
mutters and yawns...
