How can you be so dark and disgusting When she's all sweetness and light She doesn't lie through her teeth all day She doesn't grind them in her dreams When you hold her tight at night How can you be so sick and suspicious When she's health and goodness personified? That love you gave her, it's just a virus That wants blood for Dr.Hyde She's an angel and you're a clown She'll be flying when you're six feet under the ground You'll be lying because someone told you you should She's an angel and you're no good
How can you be so cool and distant When she always does her best to be here Right between your dreams and your nightmare desires The hole in your wall has got so small Her stockings are so sheer How can you be so greedy and hopeless She gives you everything but you still want more If you could see the looks you give her That's something you'd abhor She's an angel and you're a joke A shaggy dog shuffling in to give the punchline a poke You're just dying to turn her into Red Riding Hood She's an angel and you're no good
She's a not a Barbie doll You can drag around on some dog collar You can't wrap love up in Clingflim Keep it from getting older She'll always be so artless You're heartless, getting colder Don't try to come from behind Cos I'll be right over your shoulder
How can you treat her dumb and stupid When she knows that you're not the bee's knees You'll have to let her turn the bedside light right off Instead of you turning it down to mood by the three degrees How can you be so limp and spineless When she'd even help you to make your final stand It's not enough for anyone Just to lie back and think of Iceland She's not an angel, she's flesh and blood You do the dirty and she's crawled around right in your mud Now you're crying, I think that we knew that you would She's an angel and you're no good
