Angel

by Joe Jackson & Friends {Heaven & Hell}

Here's a young one
Hey, Rufus
How's the rain on the rhubarb?
You wanna go out with me?
(yeah, I know we're out
it's, like, a figure of speech)
All you need is a real girl guide
Give it up and come inside
Slip the leash
Shake it loose
Bite the peach
Suck the juice

...what did you call me?
Angel
What was that again?
Angel

Ave gloriosa virginum regina
Vitis generosa, vite medicina
Clemencie resina
Ave copiosa gracie piscina
Carnis maculosa mund'illum sentina
Mundicie cortina

Translation:
Hail, glorious queen of virgins, noble vine,
elixir of life, resin of mercy.
Hail, abundant pool of grace, cleanse him
of the filthy dregs of the flesh in the
basin of purification.

Hey chicken
Is that your girl?
Bet she lays like a lump
What's your poison - lemonade?
Velveteen or a razor blade?
You wanna walk in the dark with me
To a place where no one sees?
Kiss the glove
Pretty please
You wanna pray?
On your knees...

...what did you call me?
Angel
Say it again
Angel

Claritate radiosa, stella matutina
Brevitate legis glossa, perte lex divina
Irradiat doctrina
Vennstate vernans rosa, sine culpe spina
Caritate viscerosa, aurem bue inclina,
Serves ill'a ruina

Translation:
Morning star, radiant in brightness, yourself
a gloss on the brevity of the law, through you
the Divine Law illumates with its teaching.
O rose blooming with loveliness, having no
thorn of sin, with inward love incline your ear
hither and save him from destruction.

Hey sailor
How's the steam in the stovepipe?
