Not An Angel - Demo

Legal Bank Job.   Song and Lyrics By  Pierre Shepard 

You hid behind your lies
Pulled the wool over their greedy eyes
With confidence and grace
You hid away your two sided face

They were looking for a sure thing
It blinded them to your final sting
You pretended to be their friend 
They couldn’t see that they were just a means to an end

But greed got the best of you
You ran out of time, now what are you going to do?
Cleo would have loved your scheme
It helped to fund your American dream

I can see it in your eyes even though you try to hide how you feel behind a smile.
Now that you’ve lost your disguise, sitting there guilty as charged, you don’t even apologise
After all is said and done, you know you won’t do the time, just another white collar crime
Now you have to wear a vest to stop a bullet to the chest.

Not An Angel
Song by Rich Holman and Pierre Shepard 
Lyrics By Pierre Shepard
Music by My Social Orbit

When I saw you that day 
I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

My friends all told me 
I should beware
I think I should have listened.

You helped to fill an empty space
But very soon you were the problem

If only I could press a backspace
Erase the things that happened.

If I needed somebody
Now I know it wasn't you
Even though you seemed to calm me down
Deep down it wasn't true.

I needed time to get over someone I'd been with for a long, long time
All you did was cloud my mind,
made it hard to move on.

You're not the angel I thought you were

You're not the angel I thought you were





This song, "Not An Angel", is destined for the second My Social Orbit album, "Strange Behaviour". 

We sent it in to Abbey Road Studios for consideration by The Sound on Sound magazine Listening Panel. This took place in Studio Two, as part of the Abbey Road 90th birthday celebrations, on the 12th of November 2021. This was exactly 90 years, from the day of the studio opening.

We were pleased that the song was one of nine that was chosen to listen to and analyse. 
They really liked it, which  spurred us on.
