Hang It Up
The Ting Tings Lyrics
My friends they get me higher and higer
They're killing me with friendly fire
We meet beneath the
They're walking us by, just stay for me
My friends they got a worry mort
They meet outside the corner store
And walk the pavement, miss the cracks
I join them mid but can't relax
Live like a hippy if you wanna be king
People say is not worth the wait
Everybody loves somebody to hate
I'm not gonna go and mosh this room of vein
While looking at this again
Hard working in division
Send all the weak, can't get to prison
I wanna write about setting something free
All the changes drives us back to see
And this is all about starting out again
Same, or same, or never same
So friends won't buy, won't get a job
Me boys and girls
Slow parties, we sit on the ground
I rather be, just let me down
People say is not worth the wait
Everybody loves somebody to hate
And you can hang it up, And you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up, And you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up, And you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up, And you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
Could've been a lawyer, take while you can
Never been happy since time began
It's getting kinda heavy, I'm a body full of bagbones
Spread it in the fire, driven me in brackstones
You got the time, they all can wait
You wanna start talking, cause it's not too late
Aquarium, staring em
Everybody loves somebody to hate
Break it, make it, you can make the break
Back and for fucksake just make it great
Intake, don't fake, gonna let go
Make all the changes that you need to make
Stand back, give it up, ain't life a bitch
No-one makin' you just you for this
Insane else is failure maintain
Time for you to re-arrange
And you can hang it up, And you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up, And you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up, And you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up, And you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up

Prior to forming the group, the pair worked together in 2001 when White was in the all-female punk-pop group TKO and De Martino wrote some songs for them. Later the pair reunited, and with another friend formed the trio Eskimo Kiss, which signed to Mercury Records but disbanded, in part due to changing personnel at the label. De Martino and White regrouped, working on their own music and others' at Salford's music commune The Islington Mill. Quickly signed to the local indie label Switchflicker Records, the Ting Tings released their debut single, "That's Not My Name," in the spring of 2007. Following the limited-edition, tour-only single "Fruit Machine," the Ting Tings signed to major-label Columbia later that year. The flipside of the Switchflicker single, "Great DJ," was released as the duo's debut Columbia single in March 2008, followed by the reissue of "That's Not My Name" with a new exclusive B-side remix.
"That's Not My Name" rose to the top of the U.K. charts in May 2008, the same month that the duo's debut album, We Started Nothing, appeared. The Ting Tings spent the rest of 2008 and a large part of 2009 touring in support of the album, which eventually sold over two million copies worldwide, won the 2009 Ivor Novello Award for Best Album, and earned the group a Best New Artist Grammy nomination that December. Early in 2010, De Martino and White moved to Berlin to work on songs for their second album. Inspired by the city's atmosphere and the cold weather, they went in a darker, more electronic direction with their new songs. In August 2010, the Ting Tings offered a taste of their new material, premiering the single "Hands" -- which was mixed by Calvin Harris -- on BBC Radio 1 and officially releasing it that October. After extensive touring and over eight months recording in Germany and Spain, in March 2012 the Ting Tings offered their sophomore album, Sounds from Nowheresville, a collection of songs inspired by the exuberant freedom of the Beastie Boys' classic Paul's Boutique. Two years later, third album Super Critical surfaced. Its October release date was preceded by the April release of first single "Wrong Club."

Love it when a band comes back brighter, best Ting Tings yet and most kick-ass tune I've heard in a while.

I went to their show in Boston. It was amazing. During the opening (Silence) Katie actually grabbed my hand and sang at me for like 10 seconds. I'm still dazed over it. They're so cool live. So much energy! I really look forward to seeing them live again. Side note: Jules never sings his piece in this song live. I wonder if even he remembers what he said lol.
