Angels Of Paris
Baggy indie rock with driving tambourine, fuzzy organ stabs, and a loose dance-groove rhythm; verse rides a jangly guitar and rubbery bass, pre-chorus strips back to voice and handclaps, chorus opens with stacked gang vocals and a soaring organ hook. Male vocals are close-mic in the verses, doubled and slightly rough on the hook, with short delay throws on the title phrase. Vinyl crackle intro, rising reverse cymbal into choruses, and a bright, punchy mix with roomy drums and warm midrange guitars., male vocals

Lyrics
I saw you by the river gate
With a silver coat and a borrowed smile
You moved like trouble in a Sunday crowd
Like you knew my name for a little while
Your boots were tapping on the old town stones
Your eyes were wild as a train at speed
You said, "Come on then, don't stand still"
And that was all I needed
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me where the night won't bruise
Take me where the saints get loose
Hold my hand through the painted smoke
Say my name and I won't let go
[Chorus]
Angels of Paris
Run through my veins
Angels of Paris
Call me again
You turn my heart
Inside out
Angels of Paris
Don't let me down
(Angels of Paris)
[Verse 2]
We crossed the bridge by the bakery light
Past shuttered shops and a late-night band
You laughed so hard at the rain on glass
I thought the moon was in your hands
There was perfume on your woolen sleeve
And a postcard tucked in your coat
You kissed me once like a dare to take
Then you vanished down the road
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me where the night won't bruise
Take me where the saints get loose
Hold my hand through the painted smoke
Say my name and I won't let go
[Chorus]
Angels of Paris
Run through my veins
Angels of Paris
Call me again
You turn my heart
Inside out
Angels of Paris
Don't let me down
(Angels of Paris)
[Bridge]
If I wake up far from you
I'll still taste that midnight view
Paper wings and a borrowed spark
You lit a fire in the dark
[Final Chorus]
Angels of Paris
Run through my veins
Angels of Paris
Call me again
You turn my heart
Inside out
Angels of Paris
Don't let me down
Angels of Paris
Say it loud
(Angels of Paris)
