Tom Robinson Band - Black Angel lyrics

rate me

Steve was a rebel and a boozer

The AC king of teenage cool

He was a clean-cut calculating cruiser

Broke the heart of every kid in the school

Well I never had him figured for a loser

Till one morning no-one could foresee

He fell in love with a sweet black angel

In Brixton Market SE23

I've been in South Kent, Clapham and Cleveland

I've been in love and I've been deceived

But I've never been a sucker like Steven

Who lost sight of everything he'd achieved

Well he told me on the night he was leaving

(Though I found it pretty hard to believe)

You'll fall in love with the sweet black angel

He said I had it coming to me

I've got a friend in Borstal

I've got a friend next door

I've got a friend in my own double bed

I've got a real friend in the law

I've got a friend in Jesus

But we're just good friends you see

Cos I'm in love with the sweet black angel

I know he's coming after me

In love with the sweet black angel

In love with the sweet black angel

I'm in love with the sweet black angel

I know he's coming after me
