Aimee Mann was born in Richmond, Virginia, and attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but dropped out to sing with her first punk rock band, the young snakes; the band released the EP Bark Along with the Young Snakes in 1982, and a compilation album was issued in 2004. In 1983, seeking a return to "sweetness and melody", she co-founded with Berklee classmate and boyfriend Michael Hausman the new wave band 'Til Tuesday, which achieved minor success in 1985 with its first album, Voices Carry. The title song is said to be inspired by Hausman and Mann's breakup; the video became an MTV staple, winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, though Mann's signature spiky hair would lead some to dismiss the group. Mann performed with the rock band Rush on the song "Time Stand Still" (from Hold Your Fire, 1987), singing backup vocals and appearing in the music video. With Mann playing an increasingly important role in songwriting, 'Til Tuesday released two more albums, Welcome Home and Everything's Different Now.

Angels Never Call Lyrics
Aimee Mann
Pre>
Notes: ok - instead of trying to worry about the differences between
G-->gsus, g-->c/g, and g-->am7/g Im just calling it glick.
The notes in the lick are (in order) g d g b c-c c b with
The fifth and sixth tied. the second chord fits with any
Of the three except that there isnt an a in it per se,
But there does seem to be an e. on the other hand it does
Have the same tone as a c/g would have. so Im punting! :-)
*** intro:
Glick x4

Glick glick glick glick
I used to watch her sleep an angel on vacation
Glick glick glick glick

When they came out at night
