Hi, I've been writing songs since I was twelve years old, and recording them since 1985. Roger Cook (of the Cook-Greenaway-Cook songwriting partnership and Blue Mink, etc) once wrote that I have the ability to write a hit single and that he was waiting for one from me. He also said I need to 'lighten up a bit', unquote. F*ck that!

Story behind the song
I saw a young lady on an interactive porn website. She looked incredibly sad so I started talking to her. I cried when I realised that she thought she was leaving home for the first time to get a job in an internet cafe, but she had been misled and found herself in a nightmare situation. She had been trying to save up a paltry £25 UK ($52 U.S.) to get back home for five MONTHS. I cried again and paid for her and a cousin to go back home, with enough cash left over to ease their financial worries for a while. 75% of any proceeds from sales of this song will be sent to the Philippines to help keep 'Beth' and her equally lovely cousin in full-time education. Beth, you're an adorable Angel In Paradise, and keep smiling. Thanks for being the inspiration for this song. :-) Love and hugs, Nick xxx
Lyrics
An Angel in Paradise Locked inside a golden cage I happened to be passing by Flipping from page to page Her face was like an open book And I could see with just one look I couldn't tear my eyes away This is where I have to stay Tied down in Paradise Freedom in Hell is a better way The sadness in her eyes Haunts me now today If I could do one single thing If I could hear an Angel sing I couldn't tear my eyes away This is where I have to stay Look in her eyes: she's way beyond despair No sign of hope for a way out of there I'm gonna save an Angel in distress I'm gonna get her out of this mess An Angel in Paradise Stripped bare and on display People come and she pays the price But nobody wants to play The disappointment on her face How did she fall from a state of grace? I couldn't tear my eyes away This is where I have to stay Tied down in Paradise Where every hour takes an Age Surrounded by parasites Cruel insults aimed at the stage If I could do one single thing If I could hear an Angel sing I couldn't tear my eyes away This is where I have to stay Look in her eyes: she's way beyond despair No sign of hope for a way out of there I'm gonna save an Angel in distress I'm gonna get her out of this mess My Angel in Paradise My Angel in Paradise Locked inside a golden cage
