"Blue Orpheus"

If you want to cry
You can always find something to cry about
It's so easy to be wise
Over someone else's tears
But you have a gift
That the rest of us just can't live without
And it's something in your voice
When you tell us how you feel

'cause we've all loved something and lost it
And it's burning my heart
I can't open my mouth and just let it out

But when I hear my blue orpheus sing
I know that life is a wonderful thing
Somewhere there's love and perpetual spring
I know life is a wonderful thing

Seems so long ago
The sound of your joy filled the atmosphere
We can make it on our own

But the road is so rocky and steep
And when you feel lost
No one tells you what you need to hear
And the only dream you have
Is the one that's in your sleep

'cause we soon forget what we're here for
I need someone to say he's got dreams of his own
I'll know I'm not alone

I want to hear my blue orpheus sing
I'll know that life is a wonderful thing
Somewhere there's love and perpetual spring
I'll know life is a wonderful thing

Sing
You will one day be together again
Though you can not see her
Sing
She is somewhere in the world

"Black And Blue"

I been working so hard my backs near broke
My brows are wet and my throat's a choke
You sent me here for ten long years
I miss my whiskey I miss my beer
Ain't seen a gal since I don't know when
And the way you treat me won't see one again

Well, you can beat me
You can try to break me
Still I'll say to you
You'll never break my spirit
When my body's black and blue

Well in my arm there's a dreadful pain
It's hard digging ditches with a ball and chain
You broke my back cause I spat on a guard
That don't make me no better, that just makes me hard
Your water it stinks 'cause it comes from a bog
And the food you serve me ain't fit for a dog

You can beat me
You can try to break me
And still I'll say to you
You'll never break my spirit
When my body's black and blue

Blue on blue
What's happening to me?
Is it happening to you?
Look over there
Sky meets the sea
Blue on blue

You wanna be free
What do you do?
Get yourself where
Sky meets the sea
Blue on blue

I hurt so much
I didn't understand
I needed
sun and sea
and you beside me
on the sand

A tropical night
What do you do?
Look at the stars
ever so bright
Me and you

Out on the sea
A boat sailing through
Take us away
Just you and me
Blue on blue

"Suite:Judy Blue Eyes"

It's getting to the point where I am no fun anymore, I am sorry.
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud, 'I am lonely.'
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are, you make it hard.

Remember what we've said, and done and felt about each other, oh babe, have mercy.
Don't let the past, remind us of what we are not now, I am not dreaming.
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are, you make it hard.

Tearing yourself away from me now, you are free and I am crying.
This does not mean I don't love you, I do, that's forever, yes, and for always.
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are, you make it hard.

Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret. Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock and laughter the key to your heart and I love you.
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
And you make it hard, and you make it hard, and you make it hard, and you make it hard.

Friday evening, Sunday in the afternoon, what have you got to lose?
Tuesday morning, please be gone, I'm tired of you what have you got to lose?
Can I tell it like it is, listen to me baby-
It's my heart that's a suffering, it a-dying and that's what I have to lose.

I've got an answer. I'm going to fly away, what have I got to lose?
Will you come see me Thursdays and Saturdays? What have you got to lose?

Chestnut brown canary, ruby throated sparrow,
Sing a song, don't be long, thrill me to the marrow.
Voices of the angels, ring around the moonlight,
Asking me, said, she so free, how can you catch the sparrow?
Lacy, lilting lyrics, losing love lamenting. Change by life, make it right, be my lady.

Feelin' Blue

Hey, look over yonder, out in the rain
Soakin' wet fever in my brain
Now, I ain't certain which way to go
But I got to move, sure

Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
I'm feelin' blue, I'm feelin' blue

Hey, look over yonder, behind the wall
They're closin' in, I'm about to fall
Now I'm no coward but I ain't no fool
Feel it in my bones, my book is due

Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
I'm feelin' blue, I'm feelin' blue

Hey, look over yonder, up in the tree
There's a rope hangin' just for me
Without a warnin', without a warnin'
Things are pilin' up to break me down

Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
I'm feelin' blue, I'm feelin' blue

Hey, look over yonder, out in the street
People laughin' by, walkin' easy
Now, I'm no sinner but I ain't no saint
If it's happy, you can say I ain't

Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Feelin' blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
I'm feelin' blue, I'm feelin' blue

I'm feelin' blue, I'm feelin' blue
I'm feelin' blue, I'm feelin' blue
I'm feelin' blue, I'm feelin' blue

How does it feel
To treat me like you do
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me, "Who you are?"

I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They will turn away no more

And I still find it so hard to
To say what I need to say
But, I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel?
Tell me now how should I feel?

Now I stand here waiting
I thought I told you to leavemeetme
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold?
Grows cold, grows cold, grows cold

"Stella Blue"

All the years combine, they melt into a dream,
A broken angel sings from a guitar.
In the end there's just a song comes cryin' up the night
Thru all the broken dreams and vanished years.
Stella blue. Stella blue.

When all the cards are down, there's nothing left to see,
There's just the pavement left and broken dreams.

In the end there's still that song comes cryin' like the wind.
Down every lonely street that's ever been
Stella blue. Stella blue.

I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel, can't win for trying.
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time,
Gonna make them shine, shine

It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free,
There's nothing you can hold, for very long.
And when you hear that song come crying like the wind,
It seems like all this life was just a dream.
Stella blue. Stella blue.

Where have all my friends gone
They've all disappeared
Turned around maybe one day
You're all that was there

Stood by on believing
Stood by on my own
Always thought I was someone
Turned out I was wrong

An' you brought me through
And you made me feel

So blue
Why don't you stay behind
So blue
Why don't you stop and look at what's going down

Lived by an old woman
She'd never sell me a lie
It's hard to sing with someone
Who won't sing with you

Give all of my mercy
Give all of my heart
Never thought that I'd miss you
That I'd miss you so much

You brought me through
And you made me feel

So blue
Why don't you stay behind
So blue
Why don't you stop and look at what's going down

All my life I've waited for
(Stand by, stand by)
Someone I could show the door
(Waiting around)

(Now, that I'm blue)
But nothing seems to change
(That I'm blue from now on)
You've come back into my arms

So blue
Why don't you stay behind
So blue
Why don't you, why don't you stay behind

So blue
Why don't you, why don't you stay behind
So blue
Why don't you stop and look at what's going down

"Blue Moon"

Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone

Stop the hands before they seem
To take us up to where we've been
You see the leaves are falling down
On the stones we walked upon

Watch the city fall away
Then it's born to rise again
My blue moon will fall soon
Over loss and lover then

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone

Come take these things away
Help me up, the skies are grey
Blue moons are falling now
Through all the years we wondered how

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
Be alone
Be alone
Be alone
Be alone
Be alone
You'll never be alone

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home
I promise you'll never be alone

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
Never be alone
Never be alone
You'll never be alone
Be alone
You'll never be alone
Be alone
You'll never be alone

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
Never be alone
Be alone
You'll never be alone

"Blue Moon Of Kentucky"

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
It was on one moonlight night
Stars shining bright
Whisper on high
Love said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

It was on one moonlit night, stars shinin' bright
Whispered on high, love said goodbye

I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Well, it was on one moonlit night, stars shinin' bright
Whispered on high, your lover said goodbye
I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Left me blue
Left me blue
Left me blue

One in a million, one and the same
Looking for freedom, born to be tamed
Once in a lifetime, one of these days
Gonna grab me a lifeline, swinging my way

Im swimming out on a blue, blue ocean
Youre sailing out on a blue, blue sea
Silhouettes and a vulture hoping
Hes gonna pick the bones of you and me
You and me

Hearts of fires, hearts of bone
Beating stronger, beating home
Where theres wanting, there is need
Where theres having, there is greed

Im swimming out on a blue, blue ocean
Youre sailing out on a blue, blue sea
Silhouettes and a vulture hoping
Hes gonna pick the bones of you and me
You and me

Girl I want the gold dust in your fingers
And your klondike touch
Girl I want the goldmine as it shimmers
In your solemn eyes

Im swimming out on a blue, blue ocean
Youre sailing out on a blue, blue sea
Silhouettes and a vulture hoping
Licking the bones of you and me

Im swimming out on a blue, blue ocean
Youre sailing out on a blue, blue sea
Blue, blue sea

Im swimming out on the ocean
(Blue, blue ocean)
Youre sailing out on the sea
(Blue, blue sea)
Im swimming out on the ocean
(Blue, blue ocean)
Youre sailing out on the sea
(Blue, blue sea)

Im swimming out on the ocean
(Blue, blue ocean)
Youre sailing out on the sea
(Blue, blue sea)
Im swimming out on the ocean
(Blue, blue ocean)
Youre sailing out on the sea
(Blue, blue sea)

Blue, blue ocean
Blue, blue sea

"In Bluer Skies"

What needs must be
I realised
I'm walking out
From blackened skies

You say belief
Is in our eyes
But how can I believe
In blind lies

I'm counting
On your heavy heart
Could it keep me
From falling apart

Have we been born to follow
Tied to a bitter rein
Or will we begin to grow
Bound by this simple chain

Will we evolve tonight
Sparkle like brittle stars
Can we dissolve tonight
Held by your hungry arms

I'm counting
On your heavy heart
Could it keep me
From falling apart

I would be ready
Ready to go
Was your heart heavy
Heavy with sorrow
Had you been heavy
We could have both been grown
Now your hearts heavy
Heavy with sorrow

I'm counting
On your heavy heart
Could it keep me
From falling apart

What needs have been
You'll realize
I've found myself
In bluer skies

I know belief
Is in your eyes
We can't believe
In blind light

I'm counting
On your heavy heart
To keep me
From falling apart

oh well, here we are again
trying to find something to get us in the mood
and i tell each and every one of my friends
that the love we make is really pretty rude
they don't believe me because it's written all over my face
like every isle in the deep blue sea
you and me has got a different taste
you like it in the dark, while i like a
chorus
blue light turn on a blue light
and cuddle me so tight it's you and me, all night, all right
blue light oh won't you turn on a blue light
and everything would be all right woah oh, blue light
Verse 2
you say you wish that i was so shy
i always take a simple thing and push it too far, far
baby, that's the problem with you and i
you say not in public, but i say in the car
so we need to get wild again
like we was when we first met
so close your eyes and count to ten
and when you open em
i'll be standing naked with nothing but a smile on
chorus
Verse 3
i'll be one hundred and seventeen
and you'll be still saying, "baby, not tonight"
it's easy to see us on the cover of a magazine
double heart attack, couple both died in the fire
but i don't wanna cross that road because i love you too much
i'd do anything just to heat up your cold touch
and everything i won't give it up until you tell me to

telefonen börjar ringa på morgonen
Någonstans ett barn börjar gråta
Varför gråter du

Ett kvitto sändes
Min utnämning avbröts
Och slutligen du åker hemifrån

Varför är jag så ledsen
om vi älskar varandra så mycket
Varför är världen så ledsen
jag har ont i magen igen

På telefon mamman klagar
Varför är du så kallt sen
Kan vi prata om det här en annan gång

Varför är jag så ledsen
om vi älskar varandra så mycket
jag alltid kommer ihåg
Du var så ung
jag var inte så trött
Vi drömde ihop
Det är sant att
vi är inte så gammal nu

Bror på telefonen väcker mig
Kan du bespara mig några pengar
Kan vi prata om det här imorgon
Imorgon är omöjligt
Imorgon måste jag spela golf

Amazing Jazz song Almost Blue by Chet Baker / Composed by Costello

Lyrics : Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost all the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue
It's almost touching it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true...always
Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few
I've seen such an unhappy couple
ALMOST Me/You/Blue
