The Angel Lyrics

As I walk these streets alone
Through this borough I call home
Upon the baron fields of Highbury
Neath the stadiums of stone
Through the turnstiles at The Angel
See the homeless on the green
From The Cally to The Cross
And every character in between

Pass the church, the mosque, a crack den
And the offie on the corner
See the brasses from the brothel
That pretends to be a sauna
Watch the bedlam in the bookies
See the winners and the losers
Seeking solace from their sorrows
In the local battle cruisers

Through the madness in the market
Weathered faces turn to greet ya
“Hello guvnor, how’s your mother?”
“you alright son, be lucky geeza”
Double pie and mash and liquor
A Cuppa Rosie Lee up chap
Or watch retired gangsters bicker
Everyday in Arthur’s cafe

The little fuckers causing trouble
For the cozzers make you smile
You meet ya muckers for a couple
Forget your troubles for a while
From The Thornhill to The Hemmy
All the faces are the same
The manor might be changing
But the people still remain

North London forever
Whatever the weather
These streets are our own

And my heart will leave you never
My blood will forever
Run through the stone

As I walk these streets alone
Through a kingdom made of Chrome
I see them ripping up the cobbles
And tearing down our childhood homes
I see the architecture changing
See the history disappear
And the skyline rearranging
Into towers of veneer

But I see the remnants of the London
That they thought they could erase
Every time I hear the old school
Talk about the good old days
Every time I watch the football
Or have a ruby with the lads
See an hoister selling clobber
Or a dealer shotting bags

It’s in the single mothers juggling
A baby and a job
In every single brother struggling
That wound up in the dock
It’s in the roots and the foundations
Still clinging to the land
It’s in the bricks that built The Morland
And Popham that still stand

It’s in my family and my friends
In every gram and every Benz
It’s in the roots that you inherit
When a generation ends
It’s in the ruins of your youth
And the faces of your past
Cause the manor may be changing
But the people always last

North London forever
Whatever the weather
These streets are our own

And my heart will leave you never
My blood will forever
Run through the stone

Who's here on the last day of the season 2023/2024 ?? COYG!!!!

[MustafaJamilSafwan]

Never been to London, have no association with London! But everytime i hear this, there’s tears on my eyes. From a kid watching magic of Bergkamp in an old tv in the family hall in Bangladesh to crying at Wengers last match, to getting complaints from neighbours for screaming after every goal, the love for Arsenal never dampened. No matter where we are, how we are, Arsenal will always be my club! My Arsenal, My love!

[lackhood_universal]

who is here after 5 - 0 London Derby ❤🔥🔥🔥

[fimfem]

Who is here after 3-2 win against Spurs?

[keithhoang]

14 YEARS AND WE ARE IN 1/8 AGAIN.
COME ON YOU

[olivercarroll]

Whose here for the 24/25 season

North London forever ❤️

[sbz]

Whatever happens on Sunday, I'm proud of the team. They fought hard until the end and that's all we could have asked for. Our time will come again soon ❤.

I'm a South African gunner, I was born into a house where Arsenal was the only way allowed. I've never set a foot in North London. This song hits home because we're all the same. Regular people who bleed RED, the colour of North London lives in all our hearts. COYG

[ReplayButtonMolester]

Proud to be a Gooner. Then, now and forever. ❤‍🔥

[Jaycob]

I'm a Man United supporter but I have to admit one thing... This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard performed by football fans. The song itself is absolutely amazing and with thousands voices at the stadium it's even more incredible... Massive thumb up.

[AlexMaile]

North London forever
From Chapman to Wenger
It's been our home
And my heart will leave you never
We'll always remember
That Highbury stone

[gcinanxumalo-dobe]

Who else is here after Arsenal 3-1 win over Liverpool today?🎉❤i love the Gunners ❤

[samrevell]

I’m die hard arsenal and I’ve seen fans say about this being the anthem before games and it’s the first time I’ve listened to it and the chorus just gives me the most insane goosebumps thinking of this being belted out before games, imagine it before UCL next year 🤩❤️🤍❤️🤍

[WillyGilly]

As a North Londoner living abroad, this song had the tears rolling down the cheeks. I miss the bricks, the shops, the people. I miss the excitement of walking down Holloway road on the way to the pub on a Saturday night. I miss taking the bus from Archway station every morning. I miss catching the first rays of summer in Waterlow Park. I miss donning my blazing red and proudly marching to beers before every game. I miss London. Thank you for this mate ❤🤍

"North London forever
Whatever the weather
These streets are our own
And my heart will leave you never
My blood will forever
Run through the stone"

COYG love hearing this as the new Anthem at the Emirates !!!!

[stevenmassey]

Iam a lifelong Liverpool fan ..but a musician too ..this is such a beautiful song ..watched the Arsenal v City game and heard the crowd singing this ..gave me goosebumps..had to find out what it was ..

[DarrenGDI]

My Uncle's last words to me were “be lucky” the day before he died. Even tho we’re from Clapham South London this song represents every borough of London. We all have our own Manor and Memories and Older Generations. I wish my uncle got to hear this song being a lifelong Arsenal fan. London Be Lucky Forever!

[saber]

This is absolutely incredible. Only a matter of time before this is an anthem at The Arsenal ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[RenatoRegalado]

Yesterday's match against United pretty much sealed this song as our Anthem. Never seen the crowd so energized and singing this so hard.

[Pel-kcbb]

I'm an Arsenal fan from North London and I've converted my American girlfriend to be a Arsenal fan. I showed her this song and she came out of the blue the other day and said she wants the instrumental of this song as she walks down the isle when we get married next year 👍🏻
