Angel Face
The Glitter Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Glitter Band's song "Angel Face" is a classic piece of glam rock from the 1970s. The lyrics describe a young woman who has never left her small town and is content staying home. However, the singer sees her picture and is immediately drawn to her beauty, describing her as having the face of an angel. The singer wants to make her his own and turns her into a potential beauty queen in his eyes.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Angel face, angel face, you've got the cutest angel face," highlighting the singer's attraction to this woman's beauty. The lyrics also imply that the woman may not fully understand the power of her beauty and the effect it has on others.
Overall, "Angel Face" is a fun and catchy song that captures the essence of the glam rock era with its upbeat tempo, catchy hook, and suggestive lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
You're a child of sweet sixteen
You are still innocent and naive like a sixteen year old child
Never made the big town scene
You have never ventured out into the big city
Always loved to stay at home
You prefer the comfort and safety of your own home
Never made it on your own
You have never achieved anything by yourself
I see your picture what do I see
When I look at your photo, what do I see
The face of an angel Staring at me staring at me
I see a beautiful, innocent and pure face, that captivates me
Angel face angel face
Your mesmerising beauty is comparable to that of an angel
You've got the cutest angel face
Your beauty is beyond words, and easily recognisable
I'm gonna make you my angel face
I am determined to have you as my own, and cherish your beauty
you don't know just what I mean
You are unaware of what I am truly saying
You should be a beauty queen
Your beauty is worthy of a royal title
Got to get you ready fast
We need to prepare you for the future quickly
Who knows how long your looks will last
We don't know how long your beauty will remain with you
Look in the mirror believe that it's true
When you look in the mirror, accept that you are truly beautiful
The face of an angel Is looking at you looking at you
Your own reflection is that of an angel, beautiful and pure
Angel face angel face ...
Your divine beauty is incomparable, and will be celebrated

It sounds like Mike Leander had a lot to do with the production of these tracks too.
