Song of the Week #2 "Angie" - The Rolling Stones

Martina has selected Angie by the Rolling Stones to discuss in next week's lesson (8th October).
Angie was released in 1973 and went to No. 1 in the US and top 5 in the UK. The song features on the album Goat's Head Soup, which is now generally considered to have marked the end of the Stones' "golden age".

Angie, Angie, 
when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, 
where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, 
you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, 
but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, 
remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you, baby
Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried
