Angels

or "That Radiohead wannabe song"
by Sarah Passemar


A couple things lent themselves to making this song.  The first was probably a Man Man song I'd never heard before.  The chords called to me, so I copied the chords and stole them.  The second thing was that Pato, Seba and I were working on covering a Radiohead song* a month or so before, and the song was in my head.  The third was that I was interested in the possible concept for the band's second album, and I wanted to try an experiment.

When I finally played it for Seba, I said, "It really sounds like a Radiohead song.  Can you tell which one?"  He said, "Nope."
But then when I played it for Jesus, (without the disclaimer,) he said, "You've been listening to too much Radiohead."

 I don't think this song will be done ever again because of it's similarity to that other song, but I still like it anyhow.

Lyrics:


I beg
of you
To let me have
Some silence
From the wasps
And the stings
of my sorrow
.
Fate
Wherever you go
Wherever you take me
I'll follow
Even though
We've already been
Here before
.
Last night
In my sleep
You gave me words 
of wisdom
Take 
me in
I will follow
.
Come 
my child
Rest 
your head 
on my shoulder
I'll never 
lead you 
astray
.
Just breathe
 in my breath
And let my life
Refill you
You only 
Had
To Ask
.
But I
-No more doubts 
Can't believe
-No more fears 
You're here with me
-Time to o-   pen
within me
-Up your eyes
This can't
-Time to open
can't be real
-Up your thoughts
 Be real
-open your heart 



*(Trivia: if you're a Radiohead fan, try to listen to the song and guess.)
