"'Angela'" is a 2009 single by Jarvis Cocker. It is the first single from his second solo album '"Further Complications"'.

Cocker told 'Q' magazine that the song was about "thwarted lust." He elaborated to 'NME' about the song: "Angela is the girlfriend of our keyboard player, Simon Stafford, but I didn't realize that at the time. I was singing these words and I noticed that he was looking at me in a strange way. He said, "Why have you written a song about my girlfriend?" I'd forgotten that she was called Angela, so I think he thought I was trying to maybe move in on her. I assured him it was a co-incidence."[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=15688 Angela Songfacts]
