My Angel Put the Devil in Me

"My Angel Put the Devil in Me" was a 1930s American song. It was performed by Tallulah as part of her stage act in New York City. (TV: Daleks in Manhattan) A recording of it was later played at an extraterrestrial bar at which Captain Jack Harkness was found drinking by the dying Tenth Doctor. (TV: The End of Time)

Lyrics performed by Tallulah

 * You lured me in with your cold grey eyes
 * Your simple smile, your bewitching lies
 * One and one and one is three
 * My bad, bad Angel, the Devil in me!


 * You put the Devil in me...
 * You put the Devil in me!
 * You put the Devil in me!


 * My bad, bad Angel, you put the Devil in me...

(TV: Daleks in Manhattan)

Lyrics heard at the bar

 * I'm a country girl, I ain't seen a lot
 * But you came along, and my heart went pop
 * You took a little streetcar to my heart
 * And an apple of love fell off my apple cart


 * You looked at me, my heart began to pound
 * You weren't the sort of guy I thought would stick around
 * Hey, but it don't have to be eternally
 * My bad, bad Angel put the Devil in me
 * You put the Devil in me...


 * You lured me in with your cold grey eyes
 * Your simple smile, your bewitching lies
 * One and one and one is three
 * My bad, bad Angel, the Devil in me!
 * You put the Devil in me!


 * My bad, bad Angel, you put the Devil in me!

Behind the scenes

 * Composed by Murray Gold, "My Angel Put the Devil in Me" was the third original song commissioned for the revived Doctor Who series and the first to not be connected with one of the Christmas specials. It was the first of these songs to be actually performed on screen. Actress Miranda Raison, who portrayed Tallulah in the episode, sang the version that appears in the episode. Later, when Gold expanded the song into a full-length version for the Third Series soundtrack CD, Yamit Mamo was hired to record that version. Mamo's version was later heard in part in The End of Time.
 * Raison's performance marks the first time an original song was actually shown being performed on screen in Doctor Who.
