Boxing And Pop Music Lyrics - Everything But The Girl

Lying in bed on a weekday night 

Listening to the title fight 

From a town the radio said was Atlantic City 

The branches brush the windows 

The hour is early evening 

And Frankie's beating hell out of the champion 

Frankie is the one, you know 

Frankie is the boy 

I hope my sister's listening 

from her place in Illinois 

For though the world is turning darkly 

all the stars are out tonight 

There are dreams still shining, redefining 

all that makes us feel alright

Lying in bed in the afternoon 

listening to Frankie Lymon tunes 

While the people make their way home 

from the dusty city 

The breezes blow the curtains 

the hour is early evening 

and Frankie's singing songs just like a champion 

Frankie was the one, you know 

Frankie was the boy 

My sister shook his hand the night 

he played at the Savoy 

And though the world is turning darkly 

all the stars are out tonight 

There are dreams still shining, redefining 

all that makes us feel alright

Frankie is the one, you know 

Frankie is the boy 

Frankie bears the weight of 

all our sorrow and our joy 

For though the world is turning darkly 

all the stars are out tonight 

There are dreams still shining, redefining 

all that makes us feel alright 

I feel alright
