Angels, The - Take An X Lyrics






Mother cut her finger
and it won't stop bleeding
should've stayed in bed
but the family needed feeding
positively negative
take another sedative
tried to break the chain
but the pain is so repetitive

Picking up the pieces
pushing for a prize
running out of aces
running out of alibies

Take an X, take me
Take an X, take me
Take an X, take me
Take an X, take me

Mother cut her finger
and it won't stop bleeding
should've stayed in bed
but the family needed feeding
father's in the kitchen
counting out his money
shooting down expresso
with a little taste of honey

Picking up the pieces
pushing for a prize
the cracks are on yer faces
the mask is in your eyes
y' sit inside the temple
selling wisdom to the wise
running out of aces
running out of alibies

Take an X, take me
Take an X, take me
Take an X, take me
Take an X, take me
Take an X, take me
Take an X, take me
Take an X, take me

    The atmosphere in this song is incredible it's hard to describe it's edgy and mysterious. It's foreboding. I had this album in high school in 1990 it was a massive release for them coming off Live Line and then there was the massive Beyond Salvation tour. The Angels were at the peak of their powers in the late 80s. I heard this song and it was different to what they normally wrote, and it was around the time of a 21 Jump St episode about students dropping acid with an X on the pill and then dying and this song makes me think of that episode and the darkness of that new drug scene in North America.

    At this time, one person did not like having their X taken.

    One of my fav tracks by them
