Hang Out The Flags - Everything But The Girl

Born on the stage

Undersize and underage

When she sang good

Momma said she could

Sing the world away

She made the shop girls cry

They said, «That woman’s life is

Tragic and pathetic and just like mine.»

Can you sleep without the light?

Hang out the flags tonight

Here’s judy garland who

Did all your suffering for you

Slept alone so you

Could stay home and feel blue

She cried, «Look at me, I’m sad and you’re happy

Yes, I’m great and you’re second rate, but I wish that I could be you.»

Sleeping without the light

Hanging out the flags tonight

Don’t tamper with the clock, my dear

Romance has been dead for years

Can you sleep without the light?

O, hang out the flags tonight

Can you sleep without the light?

O, hang out the flags tonight

What went wrong with my life?

What went wrong with my life?
