The Wallflowers - Angel On My Bike

Artist: The Wallflowers

Song: Angel On My Bike

Album: Bringing Down The Horse (1996)

 

No sophomore jinx here. Of course, there are only two Wallflowers left from their first release, so this could be called a whole new band. No matter, because the music here is assured and contemporary with just enough of the past showing through to catch one's eye.Jakob Dylan has been polishing his compositional chops and it really shows on such cuts as "Invisible City," the hit "6th Avenue Heartache" and especially "One Headlight." A fine effort indeed. (Allmusic)

 

review

She knows just what I like
The angel on my bike
She found me down on a two ton anchor
Tangled up in wire
She always gets it right
The angel on my bike
I could be killed if the train goes faster
Well angel watch my life

I can't handle a care
I want, but I can't be there
While angel's a prayer

It's 45 miles on that highway
Angel double prayer
I have to sleep with my eyes on the white lines
Elvis need of repair
I only wanted to believe
That angel it's me that you need
And there's only, only one heart on that highway
Angel double prayer

I can't handle a care
I want, but I can't be there
While angel's a prayer
I can't handle a care
I want, but I can't be there
While angel's a prayer

Now it's hard time on these wheels
These fairytales
Turn to rusted steel and it's
Gettin' hard now to believe
She's seein' me
Angel, please, tell me 
Can't you see
Angel it's only me
Angel it's only me

Well I can't take a care
Man, I want, but I can't be there
While angel's a prayer
I can't handle a care
Well, I want, but I can't be there
While angel's a prayer
