Social Distortion - Angels Wings (Original version)

[MrGol17]

io i social distortion li stimo tantissimo, ma qui il cantante è sbronzo??

[davidcotestratton]

what live concert is this

[rejordan45]

Unfortunatly the message he is giving is not as clear in the rewritten version. I really like this version but both are pretty good.

[bontragerbmx]

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He lies awake regretting that he isn't Mike Ness.

[Troy1990Boy]

Ever.

[Troy1990Boy]

He rewrote it after dennis dannel passed away. Dont question Ness. Ever

[dalelee1979]

I will always wonder why he didn't keep this version. I relate to it, I love it, it's perfect. Thank you for this.

[godmathias]

@dalelee1979 I agree. Love this version.

[liphow]

Can you get this version not as a live performance?

[drumsolo91]

The most beautifull love song in the history music!!!! thank you MIKE NESS!!!!!!

[Truesettingsun]

thank you mike.

[senchaisgreen]

@MrMaybebi Lyrically, they can break my heart, and make me feel like I am not alone. Powerful stuff...

[davidcotestratton]

wow i love this soo much moree

[alaznist]

@VredesStal you should check out can't hide that song brings tears to my eyes especially knowing I wasn't the only one living a shitty life.... But it made us who we are and I got no complaints

[IAMOCKWORD]

@VredesStal "If a women says no to a man's desire for sex...there's absolutley no risk of a baby." I dont mean to be too blunt or crass, but have you never heard of rape?

[jono11]

@VredesStal If you think that women are just "letting guys have their way with them," then you're part of the problem. Takes two people to make a child, and you can't blame "especially women." That's really not acceptable, particularly because you pretty much seem to be seeing that women bear most of the blame because they're sluts.

[djbadlt]

this just brought me to tears

[punxxx123]

this is truely good shit!!!

[xLoser666X]

I remember hearing this back in 2002 with those lyrics......

[amberiz2fine]

[irishfan54]

Wellfare mother drink your self to sleep,while silently your children weep

When you coming home dad I dont know when the countys gunna take us away again

I dont care about what they say Im gunna run away some day, Wellfare mother drink your self to sleep while silently your children weep

[irishfan54]

Try to figure out things on my own

Baby livin when your all alone theres not much to eat, no time to weep, there aint much love there on the streets , I dont care about what they say I aint gunna do it that way try to figure out things on my own its a little hard when your so far from home and when your down, baby its a long way up hold back now hold back the tears and when your down, baby its a long way up hold back now hold back your tears some more

[irishfan54]

And when your down, baby its a long long way up , hold back now hold back your tears and when your down, and baby its a long long way back , and your to far away

Im not perfect, Ive done you wrong but weve been friends now for so long, baby you been in my heart for so long baby you knew this would tear us apart I dont care about what they say Im gunna marry you someday, baby come to me Angels Wings gunna carry me away Anglels Wings gunna carry us away Angels

[zoestar619]

Do you know the date of this recording?

[malibustacy15]

you could google the lyrics??

i found em

[rancid030879]

I love this version. Mike is the shit!!! SD forever!!!!!!!

[irishfurnace]

no he sang it this way on the tour b4 he actually came out with it the next year. I've been looking for years for the words. Its 2 totoally different songs lov'm both !!

[BenjiSoffia]

This is the best... hope someone show the lyrics... thx

[MaxWinchester666]

the is a page called ''google''

[idreamofmorrisey]

this version i havent heard in 6 years. im glad i found it. the lyrics are perfect. but im guessing there was some censorship issues with this version.

[slot962]

i like the new and old version the same...the lyrics are better in this one though.....

[rositabonita345]

What does it mean though?

[alaznist]

What does what mean?

[wealldie77]

naem taha seod tahw?

[lazfili]

I like this version makes me think alot about those type of situations

"Welfare mother drink herself to sleep

While silently her children weep

When are u coming home dad

I dont know when

the county is gonna take us away again

I dont care about what they say."

[NekoHikaruChan]

The original will always be better. Anyone know why they changed the lyrics? Was it too graphic for public or something? Because this version seems more realistic then the newer one, being about other things then what most songs are about. Also, anyone any idea where to get this version in good quality?

[TwoAngryKids]

Story I heard from someone in the band several years back was that when Mike wrote the song originally he was "in a different place in his life" than when they went to record the album. Now we where both drunk at the time so it may be just bullshit......

[TheJonRoberts]

@NekoHikaruChan he changed the lyrics b/c of dennis danells death and he changed the song to be a little more autobiographical. and a little bit more of a tribute to his lost best friend. BUT BOTH VERSIONS ARE FUCKIN AWESOME!

[awwturnitup]

the best version of this song

[Ftballnumba69]

i think that this version is better kept live than a studio recording

[mariannkb]

suck vite jajajjjaja

[xiceshinobix]

holy, this is a lot more graphical the new one is better but i think this one has more meaning

[phatmountain18]

beautiful song

[louielogs]

izombified... I don't think Mike even knows what he's saying for some of this performance....

great post though!

[jaykhope]

Hadn't heard this version prior to the album version. I gotta say, this blows the album version away. The album version is a little too sweet and nice. IMO, this rings truer coming from Mike Ness than the love song on the album.

[deadkid248]

This is a beautiful version of the song

[hexonu1]

the newer version is way better

[Lumpia808]

fuck man , this is a good one !!!!!!!!

[fireninja242]

he changed it up

[deweeb]

this is what i think ? ended up after welfare mother drink herself to sleep sorry about that

[deweeb]

Welfare mother drink herself to sleep,

This is what i think ?

The silently your children weep.

When you coming home, Dad?

I don´t know when, the County's gonna take us away again.

[deweeb]

I don't care about what they say, I'm gonna run away some day. Welfare mother drink herself to sleep, The silently your children weep. Im tired of figuring out things on my own, Baby you live and you're all alone. There aint no sleep no arm to weep, There ain't much love there on the street. I don't care about what they say, I ain't gonna die that way I tired of figuring out things on my own, Baby you're living so far from home

[deweeb]

And when you're down on your luck hey baby, its a long, long way up hold back now, hold back your tears And when you're realy down and out Hey baby its a long long way back hold back now, hold back your tears,somemore And when you're down and out hey baby, its a long, long way up hold back now, hold back your tears And when you're down out black hey baby it´s long long way back hey baby you better of far away

[deweeb]

I'm not perfect, no I done you wrong

But we've been friends now so long

Baby baby your in my heart

there aint no way to tear us apart

I don't care about what they say

I'm wanna marry you some day

Aint no way i gonna turn you lose

Angel's wings are going to carry me away

Angel's wings are going to carry us away

Angel's wings are going to carry us away

[dlofasho]

i prefer the other version. idk its probably because i heard that version first. nd i can totally relate to the lyrics

[mirabienlosvideos]

exelente cancion!!!!!!

saludos from argentina!

[ghilmrtz1]

@imzombified

[kman303]

i saw them sing this version a long time ago then the record came out and they completley ruined it. the stupid love song version is a perfect crappy ending to a crappy album

[BountyHunter4hire]

As best I can tell: "Welfare mother drink herself to sleep, The sight that made your children weep. When you coming home, Dad? Don't go in, the County's gonna take us away again. I don't care about what they say, I'm gonna run away some day. Welfare mother drink herself to sleep, The sight that made your children weep. Tired of figuring ["Trying to figure"?] out things on my own, The way you live and you're all alone (maybe: "baby you live and you're all alone") [don't know]... arm to weep,

[BountyHunter4hire]

There ain't much love there on the street. I don't care about what they say, I ain't gonna die that way Tired of figuring ["Trying to figure"?] out things on my own, When you're living so far from home And when you're down on luck hey baby, its a long, long way up hold back now, hold back your tears some more And when you're down on luck hey baby, its a long, long way up hold back now, hold back your tears

[BountyHunter4hire]

And when you're down on luck hey baby, its a long, long way back hey baby, [can't make out] ... far away I'm not perfect, no I don't [can't make out] But we've been ["depressed"?] now so long [can't make out] [can't make out] I don't care about what they say I'm wanna marry you some day [can't make out] Angel's wings are going to carry me away Angel's wings are going to carry us away Angel's wings are going to carry us away

[hav2bclimbin]

I'm not perfect, no I done you wrong

but we've been friends now so long

"something something" in my heart

"Something something" tear us apart

[mikenessp90]

This is my favorite version,by far..I just relate alot more to the lyrics....Heard it live and ws just blown away...Thanks Mike.

[kroqand]

yea, I remember hearing this version a while back at the hob in anaheim, and the way sang the first verse with his eyes closed was an expeariance I'l never forget. SD forever!

[aattitude]

In my opinion, it eclipses the newer version

[JohnnythePimpel]

i also like this version more than the one on the album. but my english is not that good that i can understand the lyrics. can someone tell me the lyrics, please?

[Grayskull77]

i've always liked this version more than the newer one
