The Angels - Goin' Down
(spencer)
You don't have to watch my lips
you don't need to read between the lines
I don't need to crack the whip
you got the taste of a nervous smile
taste of a nervous smile...
Finger on the trigger, finger on the trigger
daddy put the squeeze on you
blame for the weekend, jump into the deep end
sister gets the picture too
It could be you saw the signs
it could be you touched the flames
you've got jump into the deep end
you've got to swim to the other side
blame me for the weekend
trapped by the rising tide
trapped by the rising tide...
Finger on the trigger, finger on the trigger
daddy put the sqeeze on you
blame for the weekend, jump into the deep end
sister gets the picture too
Don't have to watch my lips
don't have to read the lines
I don't need to crack the whip
you've got to jump into the deep end
you've got to swim to the other side
blame for the weekend
trapped by the rising tide
(Released as a single November 1988)
