When She Sang About Angels Lyrics - Go-betweens

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
