Angels And Devils Lyrics - Beautiful South

Planning permission tied to post 

We read when we're waiting for bus 

Is always double-checked 'cause we so often suspect 

They plan to build something on us 

What they'll build, neither here nor there 

It's what they'll bury that counts 

And how far down they'll push us this time 

And how far back up we'll bounce 

Angels are born with wings not springs 

Devils always born with horns 

And beautiful bird only bothers to sing 

If beautiful day ever dawns, dawns

Angels and devils ain't so easy to spot 

As movies like to portray 

A devil appears with a cunning veneer 

You often only notice too late 

If he says he's got wings, keep an eye out for springs 

Make sure your angel is real 

And of all of these things it's the song that he sings 

And how the song makes you feel 

Angels are born with souls, not goals 

Devils always search for the high 

So beautiful birds sing from telegraph poles 

And devil's song fills the whole sky, sky

Yes, birdsong belongs in the highest 

Of places, not where devil performs 

Beautiful bird and song shouldn't bother 

To sing if audience mutters and yawns 

Mutters and yawns, mutters and yawns 

Mutters and yawns, it yawns, it yawns 

Mutters and yawns, mutters and yawns
