Lyrics Shoesize of the Angel - Momus

Shoesize of the Angel

I liked him from the moment we didn’t quite meet
Ignoring him by accident on Threadneedle Street
He was buying you a flower
He was speaking on the phone
He couldn’t wait to get home
His eyes remained blind to the undescribed friend
At your house he remained violently calm
At my house, where you never came, you spoke about him all the time
You were a very faithful woman
Speak up, answer me
What do you say?
I know he doesn’t please you in a sexual way
I know he’s cold-blooded, I know he’s far away
But never reveal the shoesize of the angel
I said to my friend with indescribable lack of charm
In the corner of the mirror he glimpsed the angel Michael’s shoes
I was crouching wearing them, sitting on a chair, right there in full view
Obvious to both of you, terrifying, ridiculous
Amidst no suspicious hairs
The sofa hid behind me while he failed to disappear
So I caught a bus in daylight, and your conscience was clear
You couldn’t get enough of his disappearing love
And so you never telephoned me
Speak up, answer me
What do you say?
I know he likes undressing you in white, cream and grey
I know he’s got no money, I know he makes you cry
But never reveal the shoesize of the angel
I said to my friend with indescribable lack of charm
The things you’d never spoken of seemed to turn him off
I worked out what you saw in him
Irreversible love
In full view of their boyfriends, I attracted no new partners
And you saw nothing great in me
Speak up, answer me
What do you say?
I know he likes undressing you in white, cream and grey
I know he’s got no money, I know he leaves you dry
But never reveal the shoesize of the angel
I said to my friend with indescribable lack of charm
With indifference I fail to meet you
You will not be learning my name
Shoesize of the angel, shoesize of the angel, shit!
Ha ha Beelzebub, stick him in the bottom with a Vaseline tub
