Lyrics: Devil song
Album: Central Reservation
Artist: Beth Orton
 

When the devil comes blowing through your door
You’ll know there’s trouble, and he’s coming back for more.
You better keep what is precious hidden under the floor.
Or you better treat it so good it will never want for more.

But looking back, in retrospect,
Did you ever really get what you’d expect?
Trying to rectify,
Got lost a little further.
Welll you’ve been trying to justify,
Find out how and where it came.

Devil was your angel, but it’s not no more.
The devil was your angel, when you weren’t sure.

Do I tempt trouble to break through all these doors,
Just to put a face to the voice which always ( )?
To fight for what is precious, to know what’s under the floor.
If I could treat it so good, I swear I’d never want for more.

When I found my peace
There was still mistakes
However painfully your wearing every step I take.
Trying to rectify
Got lost a little further.
Well, I’ve been trying to justify,
Find out how and where it came.

The devil was my angel, now I’m just not sure.
To travel as my angel there’s always my whore (?)

Gonna take you back down
And I won’t feel no shame
Till my dreams
Are my own again.
Gonna take yu right down, and I’ll take the blame
Till my dreams are my own again.

Here I am again.

Devil was my angel, now I’m just not sure.
To travel as my angel there’s always my whore (?)
Maybe you’re an angel, tried to remember you’re an angel.
Remember you’re an angel, if you’re not sure.
