LYRICS
Nobody else here baby
No-one else here to blame
No-one to point the finger
It's just you and me and the rain.
Nobody made you do it
No one put words in your mouth.
Nobody here taking orders
When love took a train heading south.
It's the blind leading the blond
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs.
Hey, if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright?
God's got his phone off the hook, babe
Would he even pick up if he could?
It's been a while since we saw that child
Hangin' round this neighbourhood.
See his mother dealing in a doorway
See Father Christmas with a begging bowl.
And Jesus' sister's eyes are a blister
The High Street never looked so low.
It's the blind leading the blond
It's the cops collecting for the cons.
So where is the hope and
Where is the faith and the love?
What's that you say to me
Does love light up your Christmas tree?
The next minute you're blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news.
If God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
Well if God will send his angels
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Jesus never let me down
You know Jesus used to show me the score.
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door.
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
But I guess it was something to go on.
Hey, if God will send his angels
I sure could use them here right now
Well, if God will send his angels...
Where do we go?
Where do we go?

“这首歌，同样是《天使之城》的主题曲。在黑暗的夜里听，流露出一种沉痛之极的悲伤——没有炫耀的吉他，没有急促的鼓鸣，一切归于沉静。U2的主唱Bono用最低沉的嗓音吟唱，仿佛是在喝干了酒柜中残留的威士忌之后，随着酒精的香味慢慢弥漫开来的泪水。似乎柔弱无力，但是却轻易就敲碎了听者的心。此曲可以说是U2演绎的最动情的情歌，也是20世纪最百听不厌的经典情歌之一。”——摘自《感动世界的50首歌和他们背后的故事》（中国华侨出版社，2005）
比喻虽蛮得体，可为什么要把这首涵盖诸多的歌曲简单归类于情歌？错极了。（书中对歌词的中译文让人难以全盘接受，所以，有更好的翻译么？......）
