” Angel Eyes (Home and Away) ” es el tercer sencillo del álbum debut de Wet Wet Wet , Popped In Souled Out . 

Fue lanzado el 30 de noviembre de 1987 y alcanzó el número 5 en las listas del Reino Unido. Las letras en el coro hacen referencia a dos composiciones de Hal David y Burt Bacharach ” Walk On By ” y ” The Look of Love “. Además, la letra cita un verso completo del sencillo de Squeeze “Heartbreaking World”. En consecuencia, algunos números posteriores de este sencillo (incluidos todos los números de EE. UU.) Atribuyen al letrista de Squeeze Chris Difford como coautor.

Marti Pellow grabó su propia versión de la canción para incluirla en su álbum de 2002 Marti Pellow Sings the Hits of Wet Wet Wet & Smile .

Una versión anterior de la canción, titulada Home and Away , apareció en el cassette de compilación de bandas de Glasgow de 1986 Honey at the Core .

I pay the price for cheap advice

Sick of leaving in the morning
With the night you gave away
So now I’m gonna take that all that I can get
With those angel eyes
You make saints do sins all the time

Say I’m gonna stay, home and away, well well,
When I said I’d catch you when you’re falling
I’d have my heart open wide
And you who’s not naive I thought
Say I thought I’d mend my heart

People say I’m so automatic
People say I’m not so systematic
When I’m down I’m in manual, lord
And time on time again I walk on by
With the look of love

And with those angel eyes, woh woh
You set me on fire baby
And with those angel eyes, woh woh
C’mon now baby

The saddest thing I’ve ever seen on my tv screen
Was a dying man who died for his dream
Toughest thing I’ve ever heard
Was that new-born scream in this naked world

People say I’m so automatic
People say I’m not so systematic
When I’m down I’m in manual, lord
And time on time again I walk on by
With the look of love

And with those angel eyes, woh woh
You set me on fire baby
And with those angel eyes, woh woh
C’mon now baby

Say I’m gonna stay home and away
Show a little loving that’ll make you shine girl
Say I’m gonna stay home and away

People say that I’m so automatic
People say I’m not so systematic
When I’m down I’m in manual, lord
Been all around those edges
But ain’t never been in love
Ain’t never been in love before babe
Never been in love
Never been in love

Set me on fire, baby

And with those angel eyes, woh woh
Set me on fire, fire

And with those angel eyes, woh woh
Set me on fire, fire
