Elliott Smith - Angeles (from Lucky 3)

It's sort of live when you see him record, so I included that channel too.

Here are the lyrics and I'll get cracking on some tabs too.

Someone's always coming around here trailing some new kill
Says, "I seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill"
And what's a game of chance to you, to him is one of real skill
So glad to meet you
Angeles
Picking up the ticket shows there's money to be made
Go on and lose the gamble, that's the history of the trade
You add up all the cards left to play to zero
And sign up with evil
Angeles
Don't start me trying now
Because I'm all over it
Angeles
I could make you satisfied in everything you do
All your "secret wishes" could right now be coming true
And be forever with my poison arms around you
No one's going to fool around with us
No one's going to fool around with us
So glad to meet you
Angeles

Includes the songs Between the Bars, Angeles, Thirteen, and a short acoustic version of Baby Britain in the intro.

Moving this video to gwiz665's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

It cuts my heart, that I have to *beg for this.

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter gwiz665.

No one should ever beg for Elliott.

Automatic upvote for him.

One of the highlights of my college days was watching him live back in 1998 when I lived in Seattle. Brilliant musician.
