Little Chalk Blue
[Text Roger Glover]

There's no one here that feels no pain
deep inside we're all the same
and when the light begins to end
we meet a friend

Some people symbolize
the hope and fears beyond our eyes
and now you shine so clear and true
believe in you

Fly on, little chalk blue
fly on, I'm following you
and everybody in the world
is following too
fly on

When you're looked behind a door
you need your freedom there much more
and by your wings we'll learn to see
you hold the key

Fly on, little chalk blue
fly on, I'm following you
and everybody in the world
is following too
following you
fly on

did you see the frightened ones?
did you hear the falling bombs?
did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the
promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue
sky?
Did you see the frightened ones?
did you hear the falling bombs?
the flames are all gone, but the pain lingers on.
Goodbye, blue sky
goodbye, blue sky.
goodbye.
goodbye.
goodbye.

"Blue Moanin'"

Blue moanin', you're down so blue
You do your livin'
And it's what you do
Did you listen to what your daddy say
Or did you find it boring
And just drift away

Blue blue moanin'
It's on it's way to you
Blue blue moanin'
It's really comin' through
You're always right
Til the payment's due
It's due, now you're blue

You go down dancin'
To what they call the grind
You do some relaxin'
Now that you've done your time

When you've done your time
And you think you're through
You find them on your doorstep
Now it's time to move

Blue blue moanin'
It's on it's way to you
Blue blue moanin'
It's really comin' through
You're always right
Til the payment's due
It's due, now you're blue

Blue blue moanin'
It's on it's way to you
You know it's comin'
Blue blue moanin'
It's really comin' through
You're know you're right
Til the payment's due
Now it's due, I find you blue

"The Blue Cafe"

My world is miles of endless roads
That leaves a trail of broken dreams
Where have you been
I hear you say?
I will meet you at the Blue Cafe
Because, this is where the one who knows
Meets the one who does not care
The cards of fate
The older shows
To the younger one, who dares to take
The chance of no return

Where have you been?
Where are you going to?
I want to know what is new
I want to go with you
What have you seen?
What do you know that is new?
Where are you going to?
Because I want to go with you

So meet me down at the Blue Cafe

The cost is great, the price is high
Take all you know, and say goodbye
Your innocence, inexperience
Mean nothing now

Because, this is where the one who knows
Meets the one that does not care
Where have you been?
I hear you say
I'll meet you at the Blue Cafe

So meet me at the Blue Cafe

Cool cool blue
Take it easy
Cool cool blue
Take it easy

Born a fighter
With a broken heart
So many time you try
You try to make a brand new start
So many tears go by
Before you realise
Well chasing too high

Will only make you cry
You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy
You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy

I met an angel one time
Showed me another way
She had a different kind of thinking
So I listened what she say
She say you always fighting to break free
You always crashing around
It's your own crazy dream of freedom
That's what keeps you chained and bound
Why don't you be cool cool blue
Take it easy
Cool cool blue
Take it easy

Sometimes it ain't worth what you gotta do
Sometimes it ain't worth what
you gotta put yourself through
Take it easy
Take it easy

You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy

"Guitar Street"

There's a crazy sense of duty
As he licks between his fingers
Wipes the ketchup from his face and hands
There's a strong determination
That his teachers never witnessed
Never close enough to understand
He's like a bull just bred for fighting
He don't deliver nothing
Outside the only thing that he knows

School report just says he's lazy
His brother says he's crazy
But take a look 'cos there he goes

Through the avenues of fashion
To the palaces of dreams
All the way down Guitar Street

To some guitars are hot-rods
All along the quest for macho
To others a would-be ticket out of town
For Joe a six-string sten gun
In the 'Panto-revolution'
And Stevie's all just strictly sound
He's like a bull just bred for fighting
He don't deliver nothing
Outside the only thing that he knows

School report just says he's lazy
His brother says he's crazy
But anyway take a look 'cos there he goes
Through the avenues of fashion
To the palaces of dreams
All the way down Guitar Street

"Bajan Blue"

This dark and cold
Sure gets me down
I close my eyes
And I drift away
To a land
That I once knew
Left me bajan blue
My bajan blue

So when I'm down
I sing this song
I see the place
That it came from
The land that I
Oh that I once knew
Left me bajan blue
Oh I'm bajan blue

The big ships came
with a thousand souls
The laid back dream
Was bought and sold
The Jumbo birds
With their mighty roar
Now what I love can be more
Down on my bajan shore

But I still feel
The smiles you gave
The white sand turned
On a turquoise wave
Forever more
Oh it's only you
My bajan blue

"My Deep Blue Ways"

There's a moment
In almost every day
I catch a little piece of blue
I stop for a while
Relax 'till a smile
Feels the sun
Come shining through
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways

They say I'm strong
Yeah I know
That's my history
It's a story that's good to read
But there's a piece of my soul
I could never control
It's never set me free
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways
Just me and my deep blue ways, yeah

It's such a long time ago
And it seems now so far away
Deep blue was the sky
Deep gold was the sand
And the music of forever
Gently played, yeah
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me and my deep blue ways
It's just me and my deep blue ways

"Screw You And Your Deep Blue Sea"

White god standing
By the breaking waves
Thirty pieces of silver
Everybody gave
You drop 'em in
Eat 'em up
You drink his wine
From a plastic cup
The soul of this place
You've taken from me
So screw you
And your deep blue sea

Complex phrases
Hide what's true
The biggest lies
you ever knew
The virgin angel
She screams and chokes
She's drowning now
In a pool of bootleg coke
I'm getting off while my soul's still free
So screw you
And your deep blue sea

They say the Lord
Turned their sins to stone
The gold and silver fell off
The dried up bones
The golden beaches
Of my younger days
Thirty bits of silver
Sold into the poisoned waves
The soul of this place
You've taken from me
So screw you
And your deep blue sea
And your deep blue sea
I'm getting off
While my soul's still free
Yeah screw you
And your deep blue sea
And your deep blue sea

"Texas Blue"

Snow chains busting up my fingers
Ice pick blisters across my hands
I close my eyes and dream of red rocks
All along the Rio grande

I was born into the north wind
Blades of ice and freezing rain
But I still dream cowboy blue skies,
how they help me ease the pain
'Til the day that sun comes shining,
'til the day that dreams come true
I'll be texas blue

Call me a fool if you really want to
tell me dreams can go so wrong
But these winter skies can't hurt me
while i sing this crazy song ...
'Til the day that sun comes shining
Leather boots and desert sky
'Til the day that dream comes true ...
I'll be texas blue

'Til the day that sun comes shining
'Til the day that dream comes true ...
I'll be texas blue

Your head spins round on a Monday
And the daylight's in your eyes
How you laughed and cursed tomorrow
Now he's standing by your side
You touched the stars at midnight
The whole world seem to shout 'Hello'
Now your throat is tired and heavy
And only one can go

I'll be all right though I may cry
The tears that flow they always dry
It's just that I would rather be with you now
And every time I see that star
I will say a prayer for you
Now and forever September blue

I'll be all right though I may cry
The tears that flow they always dry
It's just that I would rather be with you now
And every time I see that star
I will say a prayer for you
Now and forever September blue
'Cos I'll always love you
September blue

"Midnight Blue"

I got my money
I got it here in my hand
OK let me tell you
This is how we stand
I've waited so long
Good things, never too late
So don't take no chances
Leave nothing to faith

I wanna walk tall in midnight blue
Look good, oh so good
Step out in midnight blue
Midnight blue

I watch the razors with their class and their style
Dressed to kill, man
Their lives is just one great big smile
And oh I wanna be there
When they dish that stuff out
Cool and collected
Man that's what it's all about

So gimme, gimme, gimme
I want midnight blue
I love midnight blue
I'm gonna step out in midnight blue
So gimme, gimme, gimme midnight blue
Midnight blue
I walk tall in midnight blue
Look good, oh so good
In midnight blue
