I Could Be an Angle
"I Could Be an Angle" is the second single from British psychobilly band The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster's second album The Royal Society. The song got very strong airplay on MTV Rocks (formerly MTV2) and Kerrang!. The name of the song comes from a sign that a tramp was holding when they visited America, the sign read "Please give me money, you never know, I could be an angle" - an obvious misspelling of "angel".
