Babycakes was a character who reccurred in my songs through the noughties. In this episode a young man's life is turned around by a doorstep encounter...

Street Angel

I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still
She told me where to stick my grocery bill
Slammed the door in my face
I swear my Street Angel's a headcase

She's known along the Boulevard, she's famous at the docks
For lining all the sailors up and polishing off their drinks
I love her so
Bag my Street Angel to go

(CH) Crawling down the highway on my hands and knees
Begging to you baby won't you please, please, please
I miss my Street Angel with the tender touch
I guess I love my Angel just a touch too much

We took Telegram Sam to the Wigwam Bam
It's a Blam Blam Spank you Ma'am Glam Slam jam
It's the Boom Boom Room
It's the crack of Doom
C'mon Swing Out Sister, and give my Street Angel some room

And I took her to Duntocher and I'll never forget
When she saw me talk to Tommy she was Wet, Wet, Wet
And I didn't thnk twice, nice as nice
I Said "Take some advice, stick my Street Angel on ice" (CH)

Street Angel, you're my complete Angel... (CH)

Y'see the day the Sherriff came around to ask about the fire
My Street Angel told me she'd be going off-hire
Said the game was over, it was time for her to split
I guess I must've looked like the fan that caught the shit
'Cos she said she had something that would give us all a lift
Said that it would be a sort of farewell gift
Then she blew her nose with a rustling sound
When she finished up the hankie weighed half a pound

And we all got wrecked on the rocks that she found...(CH)
It's a heartstopping mix of lust and of pain
Hits you so fast it's hard to explain
Again and again and again and again and again.....
