The Angel of Delight
Andy McLarney
I´ve heard it told from long ago
That between these walls there lives a soul
And he visits you in your deepest dreams
Before too long she came to me
A fairytale all dressed in green
Softly spoken words that calmed me down

I am the angel of delight
I´ll give you pleasure to last the night
I´ll give you a chance to put it right, then I´m gone
So make the most of my courtesy
You´re a lucky man to be set free
So prove to me what you can really do

So much to do, so little time
Reveal the pressure and dull the mind
I headed off to the nearest public house
It took a lot to fill the slack
Then I headed off to the racing track
Nine to one, and I was all cleaned out

I am the angel of delight
I´ll give you pleasure to last the night
I´ll give you a chance to put it right, then I´m gone
So make the most of my courtesy
You´re a lucky man to be set free
So prove to me what you can really do

In need of some fair company
I was off to see young Jenny Mari
She wedded a man but she bedded me all the same
Oh what about your family
Make a mend and let them see
Confess your sin and don´t come back to me

I am the angel of delight
I´ll give you pleasure to last the night
I´ll give you a chance to put it right, then I´m gone
So make the most of my courtesy
You´re a lucky man to be set free
So prove to me what you can really do

I am the angel of delight
I´ll give you pleasure to last the night
I´ll give you a chance to put it right, then I´m gone
So make the most of my courtesy
You´re a lucky man to be set free
So prove to me what you can really do
