This song was covered by Uriah Heep, but this version is infinitely better. Although not as bright as the Uriah Heep cover, the original is a lot more sensual, suggestive and dance-able!
Riding With The Angels is the original version. Bruce Dickinson covered it on a SAMSON album.
Samson – Riding With The Angels
recorded on June 27, 1990 Released on the Single
August 1990 Recorded in-concert at the Astoria Theatre, London, UK.
Katie was a kid, I guess she hid her thoughts from everyone
Went to school at eight, she was never late
Didn’t know the meaning of fun
Every night Katie prayed to God above
But her daddy gave her everything but love
She woke up one day, said: “I’m on my way”
Her mummy read the letter, It did say:
“I’m on my way, I’m on my way”
Riding with the angels
She’s having fun fun fun
Rode around and every boy in town tried to win her back
It was no go, cause she rode with Joe, he was the leader of the pack
People ran for cover when they rolled to town
The night was black, rain on the ground
Engines scream, running too fast
Maybe the ride would be their last
They’re on their way, they’re on their way
Riding with the angels
She’s having fun fun fun
The Uriah Heep cover version (inferior to Russ’s version for sure):
On the rebound, on the rebound
That’s how you fell for me
That’s how you changed my life
You cut me like a knife
On the rebound, on the rebound
You came, you saw, you took
It only took one look
And, lady, I was hooked
On the rebound, on the rebound
On the rebound
On the rebound, on the rebound
You came and took my soul
You came and left a hole
Where your love used to be
On the rebound, on the rebound
You like to drown in your tears
And after all these years
You give your pain to me
(On the rebound) you came to me
(On the rebound) to set you free
(On the rebound) too bad for me
Oh, yeah
When you came
You wanted my money
And when you left me
You took my life, honey
(On the rebound) you came to me (oh)
(On the rebound) to set you free (oh)
(On the rebound) too bad for me (oh)
Can’t stand this pain
Won’t you come back again
(On the rebound) you came to me
(On the rebound) to set you free
(On the rebound) too bad for me
Oh, yeah
Through my tears
Your face still appears
(On the rebound) you came to me
(On the rebound) to set you free…
