Go-Betweens - When She Sang About Angels Lyrics

When she sang about angels

She looked at the sky

Anybody else, anybody else, but I let it go by




When she sang about the fields

She raised up her arm

As if she was pushing back the cotton on some Midwestern farm




When she sang about a boy

Kurt Cobain

I thought what a shame it wasn't about

Tom Verlaine




When she sang about angels

She looked at the sky

Anybody else, anybody else, but I let it go by




Then she threw some names

Like she always did

She threw some names, she dropped some names

like she used to when I was a kid




When she sang about angels

She looked at the sky

Anybody else, anybody else, but I let it go by




I let it go by

I let it go by
