Angel on the Run Writen By: Gilbert/Harrison/Morley/Saxton/Timms

This was another song brought to Headstrong "ready made". The majority of the song and music was written by Dean between Stella and Predator, and never used. The song got the Headstrong treatment and became a firm favourite. It did get a rewrite though after it was in the set. The original last verse went "Well my Angel she was full of joy, as she met me with my baby boy". The song, being about unexpected pregnancies, was always dedicated to Russ, however, once Tina give birth to Rebecca, the last verse was wrong and had to be rewritten.

Well my angel left a note to say
She'd been gone away since yesterday
She'd been up all night thinking what to write
Now she's gone
Well I'd never force the girl to stay
Never want it any other way
But she's out of sight got me tears to fight
But she's gone

Look out, look out for my angel
Angel, angel on the run
Look out, look out she's running away
Angel, angel on the run
Look out, look out for the deadly stranger
Angel, angel on the run
But it ain't no fun when your angel is out on the run

Well I searched the country high and low
Couldn't think of where my babe would go
Couldn't sleep at night 'till I've made it right
Now she's gone
Well the summer turned to winter snow
I tried not to let my feelings show
But the pain still stays as I brave the days
Cos she's gone

Look out, look out for my angel
Angel, angel on the run
Look out, look out she's running away
Angel, angel on the run
Look out, look out for the deadly stranger
Angel, angel on the run
But it ain't no fun when your angel is out on the run

Well now I'm near the story's end
Got a tip off from my angel's friend
It came word of mouth that she'd gone down south
Now I'm near
Well my angel smiled for all the world
As she met me with my baby girl
She'd been scared to say so she ran away
Now I'm here

Well now I've found, found my angel
Angel, angel on the run
My face awash with tears of joy
Angel, angel on the run
She'd ran away to have my baby
Angel, angel on the run
But it ain't no fun when your angel is out on the run
No it ain't no fun when your angel is out on the run
