Angels
Robbie Williams · Robbie Williams: Greatest Hits
Does an angel contemplate my faith?
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're gray and old?
'Cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
(solo)
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
Angels
Robbie Williams' 2002 single 'Angels' stands as a defining track from his 'Swing When You're Winning' era, blending upbeat pop-rock with a distinctive, rhythmic vocal delivery. The song was a massive commercial success, reaching the top of the UK Singles Chart and becoming a staple of his greatest hits collections. Its infectious energy and Williams' charismatic performance made it an instant radio favorite, solidifying his status as a leading figure in 2000s British pop music. The track exemplifies the genre's shift toward anthemic, danceable pop during that period, featuring a catchy melody and a driving beat that encouraged widespread live performance and cover versions. As a key component of his discography, 'Angels' remains a signature song that encapsulates the optimism and style of his mid-career peak.
