"Broken Down Angel" — from Razamanaz (1973), reaching the UK Top 10.
She used to be someone you could depend on
To brighten up your coldest winter day
But the one she leaned upon
Let her down, noow has moved on
And morning brings another empty day
Now she’s only a broken down angel
She’s only a bird that’s broke her wing
She’s only someone, somone who’s gone wrong
She’s only a child that’s lost her way
She used to be a girl of simple pleasures
A breath of spring to chase your blues away
But now she bears a cross, for a love that she has lost
No sunshine in her life just clouds of gray
Now she’s only a broken down angel
She’s only a bird that’s broke her wing
She’s only someone, somone who’s gone wrong
She’s only a child that’s lost her way
She’s only a broken down angel
She’s only a bird that’s broke her wing
She’s only someone, somone who’s gone wrong
She’s only a child that’s lost her way
Now she’s only a broken down angel
She’s only a bird that’s broke her wing
She’s only someone, somone who’s gone wrong
She’s only a child that’s lost her way

- From Razamanaz (1973). Reached #9 in the UK. The first of what would be four UK Top 10 hits in eighteen months. The broken-down angel — the idealized person who has been damaged by the world. Roger Glover's production giving the track the commercial sheen without compromising the hardness.
