Guardian Angel

from Samurai by the mountain firework company

lyrics

well you said you’d be my guardian angel
just before you left me for the land of the dead
you said you’d always be there
to keep me safe that’s what you said
well then where were you yesterday
when trouble came my way
and broke that bottle over my head
well you said you’d be my guardian angel baby,
that’s what you said

I lost my money down the whorehouse
now I'm lying in the poor house
my teeth have all gone rotten in my head
you said you’d be my guardian angel baby
that’s what you said

so don’t blame me if you find me lying in the street
drunk all out of my brain, rambling on like a man insane saying
guardian angel, where can you be .... oh oh oh oh oh
guardian angel, where can you be

I bet you looked the other way, or have you found someone else to watch instead
got yourself another pretty boy, great big wings and a halo on his head,
you left me to my own devices, listening to the advice of a drunk man singing sad songs in my head
oh you said you'd be my guardian angel baby,
that's what you said

I lost my money playing cards , and last night I drank so hard I woke up this morning sick all round my bed
oh you said you'd be my guardian angel baby that's what you said

so don’t blame me if you find me lying in the street
drunk all out of my brain, rambling on like a man insane saying
guardian angel, where can you be .... oh oh oh oh oh
guardian angel, where can you be

so don’t blame me if you find me lying in the street
drunk all out of my brain, rambling on like a man insane saying
guardian angel, where can you be .... oh oh oh oh oh
guardian angel, where can you be
