The Angel Of 8Th Ave - Gang Of Youths
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
So we got stra
ight to the he
art
And I was a co
ward and worse
to my shame
I fell hard upon the weightless weeks
But wasted eve
ry day
‘Til you emerged in the park
Like some patr
on of Washingt
on Square
For the first time in a long time
Inside everyth
ing stood clea
r
So went out to find me a job
But I didn't t
hink I would h
old this one d
own
It gives the same old sinking feeling
Of fucking ham
mers in my bow
els
But you are good to me still
And when my ol
d man was near
to the end
You loved his broken body
In thе same way that I did
[Chorus]
I wanna lay me
down
And be lovеr o
f the year
In this strang
e new town
This strange h
emisphere
[Verse 2]
God, it was st
ate of the art
You called eac
h of my sorrow
s by name
And a tide of tender mercies
Shook my body
from the grave
And in the festival years
Of our makeshi
ft parade
In perpetual fall
And immeasurab
le rain
I wanna see this one out
And I wanna jo
in the impossi
ble swing
And fall hard beside you
Screaming at t
he bowels of e
verything
And in the Islington morn
You're the ang
el of 8th
And what's more, the goddamn greatest thing
That Laney ever made
[Chorus]
I wanna lay me
down
And be lover o
f the year
And in this st
range new town
This strange h
emisphere
You persuade m
e now
To look closer
in the mirror
And I wanna la
y me down
For years and
years and year
s and years
[Instrumental]
