Booth and the Bad Angel was a music project based on the collaborative efforts of Tim Booth (lead singer with the British alternative rock band, James) and the American film composer, Angelo Badalamenti. Featuring Bernard Butler on guitar, the project's eponymous album was released in July 1996.

lyrics :

Awake bear the mark and wear the crown of thorn
Awake build me up and knock me down
Now that I'm free
You can be cheerleader in my hit parade
Now that I'm free
Now that I feel

Awake put it down and walk away
Awake I don't care what you say
Now that I'm free
You can be cheerleader in my hit parade
Now that I'm free
Now that I feel

All those ghosts all those dreams
My desire was overwhelming me
Found my peace
Found my needs
I'm no longer a broken dream
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone

Awake made it to the other side
Awake I will not be sacrificed again
Now that I'm free
You can be cheerleader in my hit parade
Now that I'm free
Now that I feel

You will do me no wrong
You will do me no wrong
In my hit parade
In my hit parade
Hit hit parade
Hit hit parade
