Amazing song that's been playing in my mind. This is the 2nd track that's also the title to Rob Dougan's debut album. Furious Angels was originally released as a single-disc album (14 tracks for its world edition, 15 for its home UK edition) dominated by vocal tracks. It was then re-released as a two-disc album, disc one featuring all 15 songs and disc two featuring 10 instrumental versions of the vocal songs from the first disc, as well as two music videos; there's also been a special-edition set adding a booklet of lyrics and photographs. The album was written, produced and mainly financed by Rob Dougan himself, rather than a studio, with funds generally raised through the licensing of tracks from the album to film and television.
It's been noted how the overall tonality of both music and lyrics is essentially dark — in a similar way to some blues or folk music. While not a concept album, it seems structured as a descent into darkness followed by an ascension towards light (a comedy in the traditional theatrical sense).
Furious Angel
Like a sentence to death
I've got no options left
I've got nothing to show now
I'm down on the ground
I've got seconds to live
And you can't go now
'Cause love, like an invisible bullet, has shot me down
And I'm bleeding -- yeah, I'm bleeding
And if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me
Will bring you back to me...
You're a dirty needle
You're in my blood and there's no curing me
And I want to run
Like the blood from a wound to a place you can't see me
'Cause love, like a blow to the head, has left me stunned
And I'm reeling - yeah, I'm reeling
And if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me
You're a cold piece of steel between my ribs and there's no saving me
And I can't get up from this wet crimson bed that you made for me
That you made for me
'Cause love, like a knife in the back, has cut me down
And I'm bleeding -- yeah, I'm bleeding
And if you go, angels will run to defend me
To defend me
'Cause I can't get up
I'm as cold as a stone
I can feel the life fade from me
I'm down on the ground
I've got seconds to live
Then what's there that waits for me?
'Cause love, like a sentence of death, has left me stunned
And I'm reeling -- yeah, I'm reeling
And if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me
Will bring you back to me...
