Lyrics for Angel as interpreted by Demau Senae

Angel Lyrics
I call you up
You pick up
You call my bluff
On the card to love
You hold too close
Your hands to your chest
I can read your eyes
But I confess
It's lonely far from you, oh

Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you
To take my hand

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you?
Wherever you are
I swear
You be my angel
You

I play my cards the best I can
But I lose my luck when you're not here
My darling heart
Won't you please give in?
I may be strong
But I want you back again

When you're not here it's hard to pretend
It's all alright again
When you're not here love it's hard to pretend
It's all alright but still
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run after you like I do, I love you?
Whatever you are
I swear
You be my angel, you

Watch the deck
Count your cards
Makes no sense
That I'm always losing
When you're gone

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you
Whatever you are
I swear
You'll be my angel, you
When you're gone

I love how some fans can say that Dave is a sellout without realizing how totally stupid they sound. Wow, Dave got popular! I can't like *him* anymore! Bad news, folks: Dave is writing the same great songs he's been writing for years. Yeah, the new album is a little more radio-friendly than a lot of his earlier stuff, but it's still a very solid album lyrically. Musically, while the rest of the band is kind of turned down, I think it's about time they made an album with a few more guitar-driven songs (of course, being a guitarist, I probably have a biased opinion on this matter, but I like hearing Dave playing). The bottom line is that just because a song is popular doesn't mean it's bad...I mean, look at the Beatles: screaming 13 year old girls at all of their concerts, and still they produced some of the most influential music of the century.

is dave a sellout?? only if you're talking about concerts! they sellout evertime if thats the case. dave is still the man. i agree, the electric guitar doesn't do it for me. but it's the lyrics that touch us and makes us wanna sing along. dave is probably one of the greatest song writer in history. so let all be DMB fans and go along w/ his message................it's all about the LOVE..

dave not a sellout riiight.. lets take under the table and dreaming and compare it to everyday.... on uttad you have your basic dmb songs nancies, jimi, warehouse and on everyday you have the super poppy tunes like i did it and the space between. now dont get me wrong i think that there are many well written songs on this album, but compared to old dave, new dave just dont do it for me anymore.

bymyself123, you are exactly that, by yourself on this one. dave is an amazing artist!! dave's loss of a fan like you isn't much of a loss, becuase you aren't really a fan anyway. just because he makes a new album with a different sound you don't like him? get real...
by the way, angel is the best song on this album i think. it has an amazing sound and amazing lyrics.

Hey guys do you know why Everday sounds so much different from his older cd's? Cause 1) He wanted to make things differently and 2) Being a musician is a business, if you dont get more and more fans, you changed (tweak) your style of music. And as for dave, he isnt a sell out, hes just tryin to stay up in the business.. Just imagine how many new fans hes gotten since Everyday was released? But everyone knows that at his concerts, he'll play majority of his old cd's

first of all ramthar you are an idiot second of all I am tired of this "if your video is on mtv you suck" bs. Angel is such a tight song. Everyday is a really good cd, too. DMB is a GREAT band. Your just jealous cuz he's cuter than you. jk

everyday is a really good cd lyrically, not musically though...if you want both, i suggest you download some songs off the lillywhite sessions. this album was going to be released, but it got shelved when they went into the studio with glen ballard, who produced everyday. ballard convinced the band that they would be more popular releasing the polished album instead of the raw sound of lillywhite.

also--the songs on everyday are more happy--"so right", "everyday" compared to the depressing songs of the lillywhite sessions--"grace is gone", "big eyed fish", etc.

Alright, I need to add my opinion now. Let's get one thing straight,I love Dave... but Everyday is not a solid album, lyrically or musically. This album is a the result of DMB trying something new, and Glen Ballard thinking he can commercialize the band... which actually worked quite well. There are a few songs that I enjoy on this album... Angel not being one of them, but that's alright. I can not tolerate the entire album in one sitting because there isn't much substance there to hold me. I am disappointed personally with Everyday, and for all of you out there who are also dissappointed, we don't have to worry cause DMB is releasing an album with some material from Lillywhite along with a few new tracks. But don't diss Dave for the outcome of Everyday. Be glad that the boys are doing well and prospering. Live DMB, Love DMB, and Support DMB all the way.

OK, so maybe Everyday isn't anything like his other albums. Maybe they wanted to try something new. But that doesn't mean they've sold out. They're the same great band that they always have been, except that they've added a new style along with their old one. I mean, let's face it, Dave's music can't be categorized into one genre, right? For the huge Dave fans, like me, his concerts are still great, his albums are still great, and what's even more grat is that they actually play him on the radio now. I don't think any of his albums can be compared to each other, they've all got something different about them, and good for him if he wants to try and take a step towards another direction. I'll still be listening, along with all the other fans who help to sell out his concerts.

I'm not going to say DMB sold out...per say. But when people are praising this pop-afied version of an amzing band, i start to wonder. I physically cringe hearing people say that Everyday is just as lyricly solid as past albums. I respect everyone's opinion, but for the life of me cannot see that. Everyday was closer to the pre-packaged all inclusive TRL teenie bopper "entertainment" than good ol' pajama pants wearing, improv-ing, band we all know and love. Don't get me wrong, When the World Ends and such are great songs, but don't you get the feeling, w/ Angel espically that it's kind of...hollow? A little forced through clenched teeth- grudgingly singing a love song?
And as for those who cliam that we who look at Everyday objectivly "arn't true dave fans": well, i see the exact oppisit, we appreteat the band for what they are, musicly. I refuse to mindlessly praise somehting that dosn't deserve it. Nobody is perfect, ::gasp:: not even Dave, so it is possible that this album is a creative fluke.

damn people. so someone wants to maybe try something different once in their life and they are sellouts. fans support an artist, not turn their back on them as soon as something isnt exactly how they want it.

wtf I loved this album! It surpassed my expectations of it, I loved every song on it. I especially love this one the most, I listen to it all the time "why do I beg like a child for your candy? Why do I come after you like I do, I love you? anyone who says Dmb sucks, sucks! Because Dave is a lyrical genius and they have some great instrumental parts.

Let me just start off with that Dave is so amazing! This past Friday and Saturday I went to his concerts in Chicago which were also both totally amazing!
*Dave sure know's how to move his feet! :)*
Any true Dave-Head knows that just because he had one album (Everday) that wasn't the greatest, he is going to totally make up for that with "Busted Stuff" coming out in July. It's going to have 9 of the songs from the Lillywhite session (also excelent) and 2 new tracks including "where are you gong" If you guys haven't heard this song, you'll love it when you buy the album. As for the few of you saying that he is a sell out -- You must not have read the article in Rolling Stone about how he said he even didnt like the outcome of the Everyday CD. He was hoping to change the pace of his new album and not work with Glen Ballard (the producer of Everday)...Just you wait till "Busted Stuff"!!!! ~ Stay true to Dave!!

If you look at practically any band theyre newer stuff is going to be more pop drivein, its just how things go. Still I think DMB is one of the best bands ever... new and old! Yah there old stuff is deeper... but there new stuff is good too! unless DMB becomes so poppy that they are on TRL every day then they still will b the best band! oo yah bout this song its GREAT!!!!!!
