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

Compilation Electro avec divers groupes français, très intéressante, avec son lot de bonnes découvertes et de moins bonnes... mais dans l'ensemble, un sympathique cliché temporel de la créativité française sur la scène variée de l'Electro !
N.B. = Avec un seul titre par artiste, il est toujours bien compliqué de choisir objectivement un favori ou de se faire un avis ! EklektikTrip
