Lyrics Hang Out The Flags - Everything But The Girl

Hang Out The Flags

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?
