Angels, The - Living On The Outside Lyrics
The night you take for granted, the stolen chambermaid
Still dressing up as though you're on parade
You walk a backroom tightrope - a phoney acrobate
Try to charm a China Doll, should known better than that
A world of diamong cuff links & gleaming sapphire rings
Looking for silver trophies, something that might make news
Come to the house of hope, work out whose is whose
The night you take for granted, a castle made of sand.
Just an empty room of mirrors, never know where to stand.
Living On The Outside, always looking in
Taking everything – feels like a haunted heart

Intro has elements of "Dancing the Night Away" by The Motors
Would like to see a live version of this song,any out there please post I would appreciate it!
Whoever dislikes this is a devil
Aussie pub rock at it's core
There's John with his Strat. He later said he regretted using a Stratocaster on this album (he usually played Les Paul) and can't stand to listen to it now.
Paulie Jay yep les Paul is the bomb
R.I.P. Doc
The spirit of the band left to the death of this great singer.
Pop, Rock, Punk, The Angels do it all
Thank GOD they made some videos, these are great to watch, ANGEL CITY is great. i wish they would release DARKROOM and NIGHT ATTACK on cd with original songs and covers from the U S records
Their original name is 'The Angels' thanks
@Alex Hinterreiter Not in the USA, we already had a ANGELS group
yeah yeah I know. but they are always and will be the original Angels.
To me they will be ANGEL CITY
Hi Marcia..thanks for that info...Chris Bailey RIP
yes leslie china doll was a reference to j b after her though he had some lovely company and happy again! night attack was played all over oz as my friends and I travelled love It!
Thanks for the reply Marcia..always thought that might be the case..it seem to fit in to the time frame of the track..
They were Angel City in Canada. Oregon's on our border. Maybe that's why.....
@kafkacamus2002 : HA!! if only! i am sure just about everyone would have been happier with that result
I love The Angels and this IS one of their best songs - as good as No Secrets and Marseilles et al. I just wanna know: when did Doc Neeson change his name to Craig Ferguson and become a talk show host in America?
The one thing ive always wondered bout this song..does the ''tried to charm a china doll..should have known better than that'' refer to bassist Chris Bailey dating soon to be Jane Barnes before she met Jimmy???
Leslie
@digmacdiggydoo Are you in the United States? I ask because you called them "Angel City." If you like their music then try searching Cold Chisel, they are another great Aussie band. By the way, No Secrets, Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face, Fashion and Fame, Marseilles, and Face the Day are The Angels best songs :-)
Great song!
it does get better mate
ce sont les Black Angels qui jouent à la cigale ; )
Living in the Potland area in the early 80's, Angel City (or The Angels) were quite popular in this area. Loss touch with the bands music after Darkroom. So looking through Youtube, started to bring back memories. Found this song, and could not believe my ears. Already downloaded the entire Night Attack cd. WOW!! I love this period of the band. Did not care for hard rock that came out later. But that's ok. Good stuff. Next to The Church, The Angels are a great band. Wish I had saw then live.
digmacdiggydoo I seen them play twice at the old Paramount Theatre downtown on Broadway early 80's
With the Kings and Missing Persons. I've been a big fan since .
digmacdiggydoo mate greatest Aussie pub rock band shit all over the big guns cold chisel / Australian crawl , the angels fuckn rock
From the NIght attack lp...one of the best songs from the band..shame most ppl have never heard it
