about

This song was introduced to Richard by Fred Drake of Casa De La Luna in Joshua Tree, and supposedly used by Morrissey as a concert closer. It was much later, after releasing one, it was discovered that the track was written by Manfred Mann and Hirth Martinez with Jimmy O'Neill for the LP Angel Station (1979). Thank you Fred...

lyrics

Angels at My Door

There’s a finger on the dial
the lucky wheel goes ‘round
a little joker knows we can’t escape

the same time every year
the fun fairs’ back in town
wonders in the air like ticker-tape

58, 56, 54 angels at my door
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58
angels at my gate

So throw a number down
and place another bet
the joker laughs as the stakes get higher

the gambler and the clown
without a safety net
balancing unsteady on a wire

58, 56, 54 angels at my door
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58
angels at my gate

58, 56, 54 angels at my door
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58
angels at my gate

There’s a finger on the dial
the lucky wheel goes ‘round
a little joker knows we can’t escape

the same time every year
the fun fairs’ back in town
wonders in the air like ticker-tape

58, 56, 54 angels at my door
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58
angels at my gate

58, 56, 54 angels at my door
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58
angels at my gate
