Hue & Cry - Ordinary Angel Lyrics

I got the card, delivers the goods
Fills me with happiness
It's joy for a while 'til the first of the month
Then I'm chasing my tail again
I want a life that's bigger than me
But I'm crushing myself to death
Tell you what I don't need
No heaven sent deity

'Cause I'm an ordinary angel
Winning tiny victories
And though the ordinary angels fly
Their wings weigh heavily
I try to be a daily genius
There's no idea beyond my reach
With all the angels and the geniuses
My company I'm gonna keep

Watching the news and I feel my face
Hanging like Plasticine
Now I see the plot, I've got the plan
Every move is transparent to me, baby
Profit and power's turning the world
And I'm leaning against the spin
Give me a vision please
And I don't mean heavenly

I am an ordinary angel
Winning tiny victories
And though the ordinary angels fly
Their wings weigh heavily
I try to be a daily genius
There's no idea beyond my reach
With all the angels and the geniuses
My company I'm gonna keep

Stay away from me, stay away from me, stay away from me
No, no

I want a life that's bigger than me
'Cause I'm crushing myself to death
Give me a vision please
And I don't mean heavenly

I am an ordinary angel
Yes, an ordinary angel
I'm an ordinary angel child
Walking with the daily geniuses
I am an ordinary angel
Yes, an ordinary angel
I am an ordinary angel child
Flying as high now
Flying as high as I can now
'Cause I'm an ordinary angel
'Cause I'm an ordinary angel child
Walking with the daily geniuses
I'm an ordinary angel
