Hi all,

Bill from Seattle here - dying to know what the lyrics are in the harmony vocal on Grant's "All the Pretty Angels" - after he sings "all the pretty angels are on fire," what is it?? "We'll fly them"? "They're burning"? "We'll burn them"?

Also, can't quite make out what he sings repeatedly as "Girl in a Beret" concludes - "got to give it up on"? "got to get it back on"?

Any help appreciated, terribly curious for a long time now, thanks!

Don't suppose you're still out there after all this time Bill.
I always thought it went "All them pretty angels are on fire with life", but it could be "All them pretty angels are on fire we'll fly".

And, here's a 3rd opinion: "All them pretty angels are on fire with LIGHT"...

Great song...
