Angela (You Know You Want to)

drumkit - gerald dowd
bass guitar - john abbey
electric and acoustic guitars and vocal - robbie fulks
organ - scott ligon
backing vocals - steve dawson and ingrid graudins

A young man sets out on an impulsive drive from his home in the metropolitan New York area to Chicago to kidnap his ex-girlfriend from her now-boyfriend, preferably with her consent; and a minor pop classic comes kicking and screaming (or maybe pulsing and keening) into our fallen world.

Lyrics

Out of Union City and across the Delaware
East Coast snapshots fading, not a thing I needed there
You left saying you'd love me to your death, but not until
Now I’ve got this rock in a box that says you will.

Are you getting sleepy?
(You don’t want to stay here)
You will follow the next voice you hear

CHORUS:
Come on Angela
You know you want to
Your job’s a bore
Your guy’s a whore
And time’s on your brain
Listen to me, Angela
I’m calling from the bar next door
Where all these fine alcoholics say
I’ve got no chance with you
Drop it all and run with me
I know it’s the last thing you need
But you know you want to
You know you want to

Ohio was a void, and the toll road cracked and wet
I took it on with truckstop coffee and a pop science cassette
No atoms were destroyed in the cosmic making-of
They are waiting just to rejoin: your lips, my love.

Is he in there with you?
Kindly exit at the sound of the horn

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
He's just a nice face, no imagination
Who’s been in your secret heart since graduation
It’s not the sex, or it’s not that only
I only come alive to see you happy

CHORUS
