01-ANGEL IN BLUE – Mi M
J. Geils Band
We met in a bar
Out on Chesapeake Bay
With her white patent boots
And her blouse red lame
A table top dancer
She would smile on cue
Those lips of an angel
Angel in blue
She's been dancing for ages
Though cities of bars
She was kickin' the habit
of scoring in cars
She'd been drained of her spirit
All caged in this zoo
A wildcat angel
Angel in blue
And as she stared out
into nowhere
I thought, yes, I thought
she might break down and cry
When I whispered
I thought I could love her
She just said "Baby,
don't even bother to try"
And I watched as she spoke
Her words chilled my bones
All her friends did her favors
That were really just loans
And she never had dreams
So they never came true
The palest of angels
Angel in blue
And the bees they had stung her
The birds they had flown
There were guys she could number
But none she had known
And she never had dreams
So they never came true
My fade away angel
Angel in blue
02-CENTERFOLD – Sol M
J. Geils Band
Come on!
Does she walk? Does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My homeroom home room angel
always pulled me from my seat
She was pure like snowflakes,
no one could ever stain
The memory of my angel could
never cause me pain
Years go by, I'm looking through a girlie magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in between
My blood runs cold,
my memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
(2x)
Slipped me notes, under the desk
While I was thinking about her dress
I was shy, I turned away,
before she caught my eye
I was shakin' in my shoes
whenever she flashed those baby blues
Something had a hold on me when
Angel passed close by
Those soft fuzzy sweaters,
too magical to touch
To see her in that negligee
is really just too much
(Chorus)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah (3x)
Now listen:
It's okay, I understand
This ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this issues gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on
Take your car, yes we will,
We'll take your car and drive it
Take it to a motel room and take 'em off in private
A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no I can't deny it
Oh yeah, I guess I got to buy it
(Chorus)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah Alright
