Everything But the Girl Lyrics
"Boxing And Pop Music"

Lying in bed on a weekday night
Listening to the title fight
From a town on the radio said was Atlantic City
The branches brush the windows
The hour is early morning
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

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
I feel alright, baby
I 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 was turning darkly
All the stars were out that night
There were dreams still shining, redefining
All that makes us feel alright

I feel alright, baby
I feel alright, yeah

Frankie is the one, you know
Frankie is the boy
Frankie bears the weight of all our sorrow and our joy

Though the world is turning darkly
All the stars are out tonight
There are dreams still shining, redefining
All that makes us feel
Alright, yeah
I feel alright
I feel alright
I feel alright
I feel alright
Baby
I feel alright
