John Wesley Harding
My Favourite Angel
[Verse 1]
You were beautiful, intelligent
You understood every word I meant
You were full of charm, a little la-di-da
I called you my morning star
My bright one, my light one
Always welcome in the private room
Well, my right hand man, as good as
Until you got a taste for the razzmatazz
And the knife twist, you couldn't resist
Well, you put yourself top of the VIP list
[Chorus]
And it's strange how things change
You were my favourite angel
I can still see you shining in the sun
And remember how I spoke of you to everyone
How I loved you, Lucifer
[Verse 2]
Well, it cut deep, you couldn't sleep
Those dreams do not come cheap
And you learned from me, turned from me
You were your own worst enemy
Well, not a word, no goodbye
Like lightning falling from the sky
Change your name, give it spin
You have shed your original skin
Your dark noise, your seductive voice
All my creatures spoilt for choice
[Chorus]
And it's strange how things change
You were my favourite angel
I can still see you shining in the sun
And the hollowed out Bible where you kept your gun
I loved you Lucifer
I loved you Lucifer
[Bridge]
You loved yourself much more than me
You could no longer call me sir (Sir)
But I loved you the most, my little saboteur
[Chorus]
And it's strange how things change
Now you're my favourite danger
I can still see you shining in the sun
And it's strange how it surprises almost everyone
How I loved you, Lucifer
I loved you, Lucifer
And I need you, Lucifer
I love you, Lucifer
