Angel Eyes

About Angel Eyes

"Angel Eyes (Home and Away)" is the third single from Wet Wet Wet's debut album, Popped In Souled Out. It was released on 30 November 1987 and reached #5 in the UK charts. The lyrics in the chorus make reference to two Hal David and Burt Bacharach compositions "Walk On By" and "The Look of Love". As well, the lyrics quote an entire verse of the Squeeze single "Heartbreaking World". Some later issues of this single (including all US issues) accordingly credit Squeeze lyricist Chris Difford as a co-author. Marti Pellow recorded his own version of the song for inclusion on his 2002 album Marti Pellow Sings the Hits of Wet Wet Wet & Smile. An earlier version of the song - entitled Home and Away - featured on the 1986 Glasgow bands compilation cassette Honey at the Core. more »

I pay the price for cheap advice

Sick of leaving in the morning
With the night you gave away
So now I'm gonna take that all that I can get
With those angel eyes
You make saints do sins all the time

Say I'm gonna stay, home and away, well well
When I said I'd catch you when you're falling
I'd have my heart open wide
And you who's not naive I thought
Say I thought I'd mend my heart

People say I'm so automatic
People say I'm not so systematic
When I'm down I'm in manual, lord
And time on time again I walk on by
With the look of love

And with those angel eyes, whoa whoa
You set me on fire baby
And with those angel eyes, whoa whoa
Come on now baby

The saddest thing I've ever seen on my tv screen
Was a dying man who died for his dream
Toughest thing I've ever heard
Was that new-born scream in this naked world

People say I'm so automatic
People say I'm not so systematic
When I'm down I'm in manual, lord
And time on time again I walk on by
With the look of love

And with those angel eyes, whoa whoa
You set me on fire baby
And with those angel eyes, whoa whoa
Come on now baby

Say I'm gonna stay home and away
Show a little loving that'll make you shine girl
Say I'm gonna stay home and away

People say that I'm so automatic
People say I'm not so systematic
When I'm down I'm in manual, lord
Been all around those edges
But ain't never been in love
Ain't never been in love before babe
Never been in love
Never been in love

Set me on fire, baby

And with those angel eyes, whoa whoa
Set me on fire, fire

And with those angel eyes, whoa whoa
Set me on fire, fire
