Hang Fire Live 1981 by The Rolling Stones Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the sweet old country where I come from
Nobody ever works
Yeah nothing ever gets done
We hang fire, we hang fire
[Verse 2]
You know marrying money is a full time job
I don't need the aggravation
I'm a lazy slob
I hang fire, I hang fire
Hang fire, put it on the wire
Hang fire, hang fire put it on the wire baby, go ahead
Hang fire
[Verse 3]
We've got nothing to eat
We got nowhere to work
Nothing to drink
We just lost our shirts
I'm on the dole
We ain't for hire
Say what the hell
Say what the hell, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire, baby
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire, baby
[Outro]
Take a thousand dollars go have some fun
Put it all on at a hundred to one
Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire
Doo doo
Doo doo, hang fire, hang fire put it on the wire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, baby
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, yeah
Yeah!
Put it on the wire, put on the wire
[Audience Applause]
[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Alright!
In the sweet old country where I come from
Nobody ever works
Yeah nothing ever gets done
We hang fire, we hang fire
[Verse 2]
You know marrying money is a full time job
I don't need the aggravation
I'm a lazy slob
I hang fire, I hang fire
Hang fire, put it on the wire
Hang fire, hang fire put it on the wire baby, go ahead
Hang fire
[Verse 3]
We've got nothing to eat
We got nowhere to work
Nothing to drink
We just lost our shirts
I'm on the dole
We ain't for hire
Say what the hell
Say what the hell, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire, baby
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire, baby
[Outro]
Take a thousand dollars go have some fun
Put it all on at a hundred to one
Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire
Doo doo
Doo doo, hang fire, hang fire put it on the wire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, baby
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, yeah
Yeah!
Put it on the wire, put on the wire
