Riding With The Angels - Live At Reading Festival 1981

Come on, Reading Festival
Are you down over there, come on
Let's see every hand in the place
Up in the air
I mean, you guys down there in the back area
And you over there in the back
And you over there in the back
Let's hear you shout me out, yeah
See you shout me out, yeah
Do you want a new song called "Riding With The Angels"?

Katie was a kid, I guess she hid her thoughts from everyone
Went to school at eight, she was never late
Didn't know the meaning of fun
Every night Katie prayed to God above
But her daddy gave her everything but love

She woke up one day, said, "I'm on my way"
Her mum read the letter, it did say
"I'm on my way, I'm on my way"

Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels, riding with the angels
Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Rode around and every boy in town tried to win her back
But it was no go 'cause she rode with Joe, he was the leader of the pack
People ran for cover when they rolled to town
Oh, but the night was black, rain on the ground

Those engines scream, running too fast
They knew the ride would be their last
They're on their way, they're on their way

Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels, riding with the angels
Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Look out, Reading

Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels, oh, they're riding with the angels
Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Riding with the angels
Fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun
Yeah

She's gonna ride tonight
You know she's gonna ride
Tonight

Goodnight, God bless you, Reading
Cheers, whoa
God bless ya
The best night ever
