Angels With Dirty Faces
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
Like Robin Hood they were rebels
Some say they kept their company with the devil
Nobody knows such of graces
But they could make them tremble in higher place
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
They fought frustrations with laughter
Made men forget just what they were running after
They laugh without any purpose
Taught them to trust their feelings beneath the surface
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
They had dirty faces
They had dirty faces
Black is white
And day is night
Wrong can be right
In best light
Life is a game, it's a perfect place
For angels and dirty faces
Dirty faces
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
Black is white
And day is night
Wrong can be right
In best light
Life is a game, it's a perfect place
For angels and dirty faces
Dirty faces
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
They had dirty faces
Oh, oh, oh
They had dirty faces
Oh, oh, oh
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
They had dirty faces
Oh, oh, oh
They had dirty faces
Oh, oh, oh
