Only Angels Have Wings
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.
Heavens above, I could never hate her
She's done nothing wrong
A photograph of Rita Hayworth
A Latin bombshell, an atom bomb
Lovely Rita, America's sweetheart
The girl next door and a whole lot more
From Hollywood to Hiroshima
From the silver screen to the Second World War
And of course she's gorgeous
But this is grotesque
If only angels have wings
Then she's an angel of death
