Red Flag made the top 10 Billboard charts in 1988 with their memorable song Russian Radio. The next year Red Flag's debut album, Naive Art, released by Enigma Records, earned them another top 10 single on the Billboard Dance chart with "If I Ever". MTV put Red Flag's video, Russian Radio, in rotation later that year. Touring extensively, Red Flag played with acts Devo, Thomas Dolby, and Book of Love. They appeared on the TV show American Bandstand where they performed Russian Radio.
Since then, Red Flag released 11 albums, 14 CD singles, two box sets and appeared on numerous compilations. Their music has been featured on MTV reality shows. The band has played concerts around the world in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Mexico, and South America.

Red Flag Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tortured by the radio
The wipers keep the time
While these songs and I try to find out why
When you're in love it's ok to say what you say
Even if you sound like an old cliché
Oh can't you see just how much you mean to me
The language of love has something say
Your heart is pure, your eyes are true
I love you
Walking in the rain
I rehearse all the way to your place
And as I reach your door and not before
All my words I misplace
It seems they come and they go
So meet me half way
Even when I sound like and old cliché
Oh can't you see just how much you mean to me
And when my words have lost their way
The language of love has something say
Your heart is pure, your eyes are true
I love you
The radio
Your heart is pure, your eyes are true
I love you
The song "Cliché" by Red Flag is a love song that expresses the feeling of being in love and the struggle to express those feelings through words. The lyrics talk about how difficult it can be to find the right words to say "I love you" to someone, and how even if those words sound like a cliché, they still hold true if they come from the heart. The song describes driving in the rain and being tortured by the radio while trying to find the right words, and then rehearsing on the way to their lover's place only to forget everything when they arrive.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the message that, even if the words sound like a cliché, they are still meaningful when coming from a place of love. The song encourages people to express their feelings to their loved ones, even if they struggle to find the right words or feel like they sound repetitive.
Overall, "Cliché" is a beautiful song that captures the struggle of expressing love through words, and reminds us that even if we sound like a broken record, our love is still genuine.

Driving in the rain
Navigating through the stormy times of life
Tortured by the radio
Pained by hearing playlist of love songs
The wipers keep the time
The rhythm of the wipers parallel to my thoughts
While these songs and I try to find out why
Trying to figure out the reasons behind my complex emotions
When you're in love it's ok to say what you say
Love gives you the freedom to express yourself truthfully
Even if you sound like an old cliché
Regardless of how repetitive or unoriginal it may seem
Oh can't you see just how much you mean to me
I hope you realize how vital you are to my well-being
And when my words have lost their way
When I struggle to find the right words to communicate my feelings
The language of love has something say
Love has a unique way of expressing itself beyond verbal communication
Your heart is pure, your eyes are true
I admire the sincerity and authenticity of your character
I love you
I have deep affection and care for you

Driving in the rain, tortured by the radio
The wipers keep the time, while these songs and I try to find out why.
When you're in love it's ok to say what you say
Even when it sounds like an old cliche.
Oh, can't you see
Just how much you mean to me ?
So when my words have lost their way,
The language of love has something to say
Your heart is pure, your eyes are true,
I love you
Walking in the rain, I rehearse all the way to your place
And as I reach your door, and not before
All my words are misplaced.
It seems they come and they go, so meet me halfway
Even when I sound like an old cliche...
