Lyrics
TALKIN? LIKE AN ANGEL
Music by Beth Thornley and Rob Cairns
Words by Beth Thornley
Stiff Hips Music, 2001
V1: Talkin? like an angel while I left you there to dangle.
I was talkin? like an angel, so devine.
Spinning pretty, spinning fine, wings and fingers intertwine.
And I was talkin? like an angel while I left you there to dangle.
V2: You were more intriguing ?cause I knew that I?d be leaving.
Timing always has been everything.
But I can?t remember when I didn?t ache from end to end
and you?re a sweet relief, however brief, you suspend your disbelief.
Chorus: Talkin? like, talkin? like, talkin? like an angel.
Talkin? like, talkin? like, talkin? like an angel.
V3: Never one for rumours I?ll just say I never knew you.
Redemption comes in every size and style.
And it?s better if forever lasts for just a little while
and there?s no guarantees or quick remedies for most of these miles
Bridge: And this isn?t gonna hurt a bit, after all it helps when I close my eyes.
And everything is gonna be alright, after all an angel never lies. (to chorus)
