It's a song about letting people get on and lead their own lives. Whatever those lives may be. And not critisising them for just being who they are.

Nobody’s Angel
By Jo Keers

I’ve stretched myself out on the rack
Been out to lunch and not come back
I’ve turned my fiction into fact
Then turned it back just for the crack.
Walked down the line time after time
Through tears I’ve screamed I’m feeling fine
Hey, having hope isn’t a crime
I’m sure some day I’ll be divine.

Chorus

Though I’m nobody’s angel
You can see from the look on my face
That I’m nobody’s angel
I’ve done things that would make your blood race
I’m nobody’s angel
But I’ve never been bought or been sold
I’m nobody’s angel
Or so I’m told.

Not front page news sing my own blues
I’ve got no stash to pay my dues
My best friend says I’m bound to lose
But I walk which way that I choose.
Don’t pay the rent get overspent
Even my wooden nickel’s bent
I’ll pick a pitch on the pavement
And give up living just for lent.

Repeat chorus, then:-
You can talk at me I don’t bear a grudge
But before you do are you fit to judge?
Repeat.

Repeat chorus.
