once you were an angel

jesse honey is it hard to take

does it feel so bad to be 28 you were 23

and you could do anything now you open your mouth

and spit the gutter out

i was walking down by the river thames

i decided that i should throw me in

because you broke my heart and you made me weep

in the name of your sensitivity

still once you were an angel

did nobody tell you jesse honey oh you look so pale

and old and so very ill at ease these days

so you tell yourself that you'll never win

and you drown your sins in amphetamine

do you weary so of that bitter taste

so you spit in my face just to keep you entertained

still i can only love you i have no option but to

is hard to take is it is it hard to swallow

is it is it hard to take from grace

once you were an angel

did nobody tell you jesse honey is it hard to take

does it feel so bad to be 28 you were 23

and you could do anything

now you open your mouth and you spit the gutter out

out in the summer rain

you will begin again

out in the summer rain

we will begin again
