The 1975 - Surrounded By Heads And Bodies

And Angela, she wears it like a dress
Ooh, post traumatic mess

And don't sleep, it hurts to be awake
The things they make her take
Angela, Angela

We don't speak, she stayed an extra week
Ooh, I see her in my sleep
Angela, oh Angela
(Angela)

The 1975 Lyrics

Matty Heally dedicated this song to Angela, a woman who was a patient in a rehab where he was recovering from his addiction to heroin. This is described in "It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)" from this album.

The title of this track derived from David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest", which opens with the sentence "I am seated in an office, surrounded by heads and bodies". Matt Healy was reading that book while in rehab.

Angela, this song is dedicated to, was just across the way in rehab with Matt Healy. He said about her, "...we soon found out that we lived on the same road in Manchester! And we were in Barbados. It was crazy, man. One road in the whole world."
