Angola Lyrics


Heat pouring in through the holes slowing traffic to a crawl
Time, time is only silhouettes, shadow puppets on the wall
Pouring in through the holes slowing traffic to a crawl
Makes you tick but don't forget that you can never have it allListen to the raindrops falling on the treetops
Angola, Angola, I never should have left you aloneMany miles from home on the dawn patrol
Where the elephants roam and the red hills roll
Red sand red sand like a sea of blood
Cold hands on the trigger wet boots in the mud
Listen to the gunshots echo through the treetops
Angola, Angola, I never should have left you alone
The world's on fire, there's nowhere to run
The world's on fire, try and hold onAnd if you're doing what you shouldn't turn the other way
Because the proof is in the pudding so the old wives say
You gotta cut that rope till your hands are free
And throw off that yoke that keeps you on your knees
Listen to the gunshots echo 'cross the rooftops
Angola, Angola, I never should have left you alone
The world's on fire, there's nowhere to run

The worlds' on fire, try and hold onCan you feel it, can you feel it, I can taste it, I can taste it
Is it real now, is it real now, did we make it, did we make it
Can you feel it, can you feel it, I can taste it, I can taste it
If we dream it, if we dream it, we can make it, we can make itAngola, Angola, I never should have left you
Angola, Angola, I never should have left you alone
Angola, Angola, I never should have left you
Angola, Angola, I never should have left you alone

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.

Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s. Roberts' bandmate George Donoso went on to significant success in indie rock circles with The Dears, but Roberts struggled for several years afterward.

In 2000 Roberts began his solo career by independently releasing his first studio album, Brother Down. The album was largely unsuccessful but the title track would later go on to be re-recorded and re-released on a six-song EP titled The Inhuman Condition. The EP sold slowly at first, but by the summer of 2002 Roberts was all over the Canadian airwaves: his first single "Brother Down" had become one of the biggest Canadian hits of the year, and the follow up single "Don't Walk Away Eileen" quickly followed suit.

Roberts then signed to Universal Music, releasing his full-length debut, We Were Born in a Flame, in 2003. That album's singles, "Where Have All the Good People Gone?", "Hard Road", "Brother Down" and "Don't Walk Away Eileen", became major hits, especially in Canada.

The band's album Chemical City, produced with Joseph Donovan and released on April 11, 2006, got major radio play in Canada after its release, especially the single "The Gate".

The band's latest release, the album Love at the End of the World (May 20, 2008), included the song "Them Kids", which reached #1 on the Canadian indie chart (the R3-30), and also #1 on CFNY's Thursday 30 chart.

The band released the album Collider on May 10, 2011. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
