Angel Lyrics by Joe Jackson

Angel Lyrics

    Here's a young one
    Hey, rufus
    How's the rain on the rhubarb?
    You wanna go out with me?
    (yeah, i know we're out
    It's, like, a figure of speech)
    All you need is a real girl guide
    Give it up and come inside
    Slip the leash
    Shake it loose
    Bit the peach
    Suck the juice
    . . . what did you call me?
    (angel . . . )
    What was that again?
    (angel . . . )

    Ave gloriosa virginum regina
    Vitis generosa, vite medicina
    Clemencie resina
    Ave copiosa gracie piscina
    Carnis maculosa mund' illum sentina
    Mundicie cortina

    (hail, glorious queen of virgins, noble vine,
    Elixir of life, resin of mercy.
    Hail, abundant pool of grace, cleanse him
    Of the filthy dregs of the flesh in
    The basin of putrification)

    Hey chicken
    Is that your girl?
    Bet she lays like a lump
    What's your poison - lemonade?
    Velveteen or a razor blade?
    You wanna walk in the dark with me
    To a place where no-one sees?
    Kiss the glove
    Pretty please
    You wanna pray?
    On your knees . . .
    . . . what did you call me?
    (angel . . . )
    Say it again
    (angel . . . )

    Claritate radiosa, stella matutina,
    Brevitate legis glossa, perte lex divina
    Irradiat doctrina
    Venustate vernans rosa, sine culpe spina
    Caritate viscerosa aurem buc inclina,
    Serves ill'a a ruina

    (morning star, radiant in brigtness, yourself
    A gloss on the bervity of the law, through you
    The divine law illuminates with its teaching,
    O rose blooming with lovliness, having no
    Thorn of sin, with inward love incline your ear
    Hither and save him from destruction)

    Hey sailor
    How's the steam in the stovepipe?
