Angle Park is actually the name of a big house here in Dunfermline. Stuart liked the name and used it as the setting for this track. This is definitely a throwback to the days of The Skids with a more punky feel than other songs. No e-bow on this actually Matt, you can just about hear the attack of the pick on the strings rather than the smooth bowing sound of the e-bow.

The autumn howled around the heads That hung so slack, with lips so red The blooms had withered leaves were shed Tongues stuck in jaws, sad clowns parade The crushing whine began its call And pointed fingers at us all In Angle Park, the lights are dimmed The statues grin In Angle Park, the fountains crack In Angle Park The beaten cry behind white dress The clowns stuck fast upon the mesh While mothers wring their hands of tears The spelling books are in arrears The evil genius hugs his wife As tiles ring with fear of life The window fills with beating hearts Beat on blindly beat it all In Angle Park, the lights are dimmed The statues grin In Angle Park, the fountains crack In Angle Park In Angle Park, the lights are dimmed The statues grin In Angle Park, the fountains crack In Angle Park

This sounds more like Skids than Big Country. Perhaps it is a song he wrote a few years earlier.

I think i heard before that Angle Park was a local park where Stuart grew up in Dunfermline ......... PS- Angle Park was,nt on my " The Crossing " album but luckily it was a B-side on either Fields of Fire or Chance . Great reaction .

Fields of fire

Always thought got a vibe off Love will tear us apart on this track

The barrowlands Glasgow live version of this song is so much superior to the album version. The live version takes this song to a completely different level

Just a b side
