The Dirty Guv'nahs - Three Little Angels lyrics

Three little angels Playing in the backyard tonight Mamas cryin on the sofa With tears all in her eyes She only thought That bad things ever happened To people you don't meet And now she can't believe His name's up in the headlines That's his face up on the screen We need love To keep us pushing forward It's not enough to hold it in our hearts We need love Standing in our corner The hardest parts Are yet to come She watched him suffer He was never like the others in town She'd always hoped he would recover But the years they let him down You'd never know it Cause every time you'd see his picture He's always smiling But right behind his eyes Everything's uncertain Yeah nothing's really fine tonight Three little angels Are sleeping in the back room tonight Praying with their mother For a world that never dies We need love We need love We need love Oh, we need love
