Rough demo of the first song I ever wrote when I was about 19. Written after a good friend's daughter was still born at 8.5 months and also in memory of the baby my mother miscarried when I was 5 or 6 years old. Lyrics are a bit cheese in places, I was in desperate need of some vibrato, and timing was way off in parts, but it brings back good memories of that time in my life. Bass and 2nd guitar solo by Paul Martin and vocals by Anthony Hills. Dodgy sound quality is because I only had a dubbed cassette copy!

Little Angel

Well I took my sweet time to finish this one
Angel for Georgy, Simhan for the son
Too serious, this time I'm gonna have fun

My little girl don't you know
Listen today, smiling tomorrow
Here's the bottom line, more than you'll ever know
Oh how I love you so

Well you talk too much and you move too fast
Ears are painted on, are they listening to this
Keep it up girl, get a foot to your ass

Oh my little girl don't I know
Consequently this is what follows 
When you're three years old before you touch the floor
Oh but I love you so

Why did it take so long
I've got no reason, at least not on me
And it's not because you're any funnier
It's but I'm lazy, to put it simply
And the other two well they're older
Then again, the three of you get everything

(Shut up...)

I'd give anything and more, anything it takes now
To keep you happy and smiling and awake now
Sleep in your own room please, give us a break now

Oh little girl one fine day
No more spiders, no more spray
Till we get there girl, stay warm and toasty
I love you my little bee bay

Well I wrote one before but
It's a little out of date but
Sing the song again, sing Get Up Stand Up
And I love you so, people ask me how

I'll teach you more Uncle Bob when you're ready
That'll be our Once I Stood Like A Totara Tree
Do you agree, are you even ready
Sing, one, two, three... go

Little Girl
