angel angel down we go together

angel, angel
don't take your life tonight
i know they take
and that they take in turn
and they give you nothing real
for yourself in return

but when they've used you
and they've broken you
and they've wasted all your money
and cast your shell aside

and when they've bought you
and they've sold you
and they've billed you for the pleasure
and they've made your parents cry
i will be here
oh, believe me
i will be here
...believe me

angel, don't take your life
some people have got no pride
they do not understand
the urgency of life
but i love you more than life
i love you more than life
i love you more than life
i love you more than life

morrissey

I am restless

i am restless. i am athirst for far-away things.
my soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance.
o great beyond, o the keen call of thy flute!
i forget, i ever forget, that i have no wings to fly, that i am bound in this spot evermore.

i am eager and wakeful, i am a stranger in a strange land.
thy breath comes to me whispering an impossible hope.
thy tongue is known to my heart as its very own.
o far-to-seek, o the keen call of thy flute!
i forget, i ever forget, that i know not the way, that i have not the winged horse.

i am listless, i am a wanderer in my heart.
in the sunny haze of the languid hours, what vast vision of thine takes shape in the blue of the sky!
o farthest end, o the keen call of thy flute!
i forget, i ever forget, that the gates are shut everywhere in the house where i dwell alone!
Rabindranath Tagore
