The Sweet's, "Lost Angels"
Misheard Lyrics:
Gotta get back to the life in the street
We're lost angels
Pick and choose a way to rock 'n' roll
...
And I turn into space to see myself disappear
We're lost angels
Pick and choose a way to rock 'n' roll
...
And I turn into space to see myself disappear
Original Lyrics:
Gotta get back to the love in the street
We're lost angels
Gotta choose the way to rock 'n' roll
...
And I turn in this space to see myself disappear
We're lost angels
Gotta choose the way to rock 'n' roll
...
And I turn in this space to see myself disappear
My understanding by my lyrics is that each of the band members is fighting internally between doing drugs ('life in the street') and finding a better way to rock and roll ('pick and choose'). The classic examples are the two keys to The Sweet's sound - Brian Connolly's fighting (literally) against alcohol vs Andy Scott's cleaner living.
