Lyrics
Hang the washing out to dry
Clip it up up on the line
I can starch and iron your shirts
turn your trousers right side out
Pair your socks and I’ll pair mine
Pay the rest none of your mind
Hang myself out to dry
Flay myself up on the line
Wonder why I’m not getting any sunshine
The sun starts to move
The light turns golden,
like molasses on the wall,
like my heart has broken
open
you see me with no pretence
you see me
Let it all wash out
It’d be nice to be clean, it’s no doubt
help me out
help me out
and when it gets dark out
and when it gets quiet
will you still tell me
I didn’t deserve it?
Oh, I know
Oh, I know
and neither of us were there
though both of us were there
and both of us now care
though both of us weren’t there
and it’s not your fault
and I’ll tell you that
it’s not your fault, I’ll
tell you that—
let it all wash out
let it all go
