Been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothin' but the blues
Baby how blue can you get
My love is like a fire
Your love is like a cigaret
My love is like a fire
But baby yours is like a cigaret
I watch you step down on it baby and crush it
Tell me how, tell me how, how blue can you get
You're evil when I'm with you
And you're jealous when we're apart
Yes you're evil when I'm with you baby
Lord have mercy, you're jealous when we're apart
How blue can you get
Hey that's a writing in my heart
I gave you a brand new Ford
And you just said I want a Cadillac
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
You said Thanks for the snack
I let you live in my penthouse
You said it was just a shack
I gave you seven children
And now you wanna give 'em back
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothin' but the blues
Baby how blue can you get

Anna Blue oh
Anna Blue oh
Anna
Not me, not you
Just time and a sigh
On a line look in fine print-
The small town dream
To be part of the scene
You can wear it with a style
In your eyes a story never spoken-
Anna Blue oh
Anne Blue oh
Anna
Just me, just you
Just a wide eyed girl
Turn around quick-
I'm walkin' my high heeled shoes
And I'll be talkin' pretty smooth
Like some souped up cosmo girl
In a stupifying world
But before I fall I wake up crying
Oh... when I sit back
I'll sigh and think...

You never knew yourself well enough
But she never knew you at all
And when she put you out on your own
It may have stolen your innocence
But not your soul
Tell me where is little boy blue
You'll find him standing always
One step ahead
Fast a little, shy a little, boy blue
Wise blood runs warms and deep
On the street
... Kids walking, just a kid walking
You send a letter with photographs
And I'll tuck them under my dreams
And if we wake up old beyond our years
Not quite as brave as we seem
It's just the pain that never disappears
Tell me where is boy blue
You'll find him standing always one step ahead...
Dance a little, cry a little...
Where are you boy blue
Where are you...

Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
Oh, T for Thelma (T For Thelma)
That gal done made a wreck out of me
If you don't want me mama you sure don't have to call (T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
If you don't want me mama you sure don't have to call (T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
I can get more women (Get more women)
Than a passenger train can haul
I'm going where the water drinks like cherry wine
I'm going where the water drinks like cherry wine
'Cause this Georgia water tastes like turpentine
Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
Oh, T for Thelma (T For Thelma)
That gal done made a wreck out of me
I'm gonna buy me a pistol just because I'm tall (T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
I'm gonna buy me a pistol just because I'm tall (T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
I'm gonna shoot poor Thelma (Shoot poor Thelma)
Just to see her run and jump and fall
I'd rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log
I'd rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log
Than to be in Atlanta, treated like a dirty dog
Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
Oh, T for Texas, T for Tennessee (T for Texas, T for Tennessee)
Oh, T for Thelma (T For Thelma)
That gal done made a wreck out of me

I'm driving my blue car baby
Down from the mountain so high
I'm driving my blue car baby
Coming down to say goodbye
The sunrise is a miracle
But it can't hold a candle to you
Do you remember them rides in my blue car
Back when it was brand new
Well it's a good old car
But the clutch is a little loose
And the brakes are screaming
A song called what's the use
But it's good for one more trip
One more trip to you
The lightning's meant to strike
The tall pine trees
& the birds are meant to cry
& wheel in the breeze
But some things baby
I guess they just ain't meant to be
When i get back up on the mountain
I'll close my door against the wind
I'll park my old blue car
I may fall down the mountain
But i will never fall in love again

Blue overall
Overall the rooftops blue birds fly apart
Blue overall
Overall the bones that cage this stupid heart
Got blues drawing crosses on my front door
Blues a'bringing buckets 'round the back
Blues trying to push me from me white fence
And tar me a darker bluey black
For all this time
I really thought you loved me
For all this time
You only rubber gloved me
Blue overall
Overall my anvil gives no further sparks
Blue overall
Overall my fears swim hammer headed sharks
Got blues drinking beer out in the kitchen
Blue dog is barking to be fed
Got blues spilling wine upon me heartrug
They're holding a party in my head
For all this time
I really thought you loved me
For all this time
You merely went and shoved me
I tried to lose myself in labour
The more I push the mirth
I'm giving birth to a baby's turning
Blue overall
Feeling blue overall
All over I'm turning blue

Officer Blue,
Really love the things you do,
Even when I was just eight years.
Officer Blue,
Is it true what they say?
That when you work you're still at play.
Oh Officer Blue,
I really love the things you do.
It's magical,
People in a human zoo.
Officer Blue,
Cast a shadow on the wall,
But by torchlight even mice look tall.
Officer Blue,
In a blaze of uniform,
And your stripes and badges to conform.
Officer Blue,
Really love the things you do,
Even when I was just eight years old.
Officer Blue,
Is it true what they say?
That when you work you're still at play.

Empty words falling on ears which have never heard
Hollow lies, comin' from lost, hung up and lonely guys
Through the night, make a sight
Other rider looks so true
Sinnin', spinnin', tales of Lucy Blue
Piercing smile filling her face for a little while,
Closin' door, leaving the heart open and wounded more
Gone away, lonely day
Turning gray with no clue
Faking, making, tales of Lucy Blue, oh oh oh
Restless night longing for love beneath the neon light
Desperate hands reachin' for someone who'll understand
Stroll around, through the town
Lost and found, when it's due
Sellin', tellin', tales of Lucy Blue
Yeah Lucy Blue one or two
Just for you hey yeah
Tales of Lucy Blue

Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood,
Stardust gleamin'
Thru my solitude:
Here in my seclusion,
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this Azure interlude.
I'm not wanted I'm so all alone;
Always haunted
By the dreams I own;
But, though Im tormented
I must be contented
Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood!
Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood,
Star dust gleamin'
Thru my solitude:
Here in my seclusion,
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this Azure interlude!

Zwei Gleise Richtung Ferne,
ich vernehm' den Ruf der Fremde
die blaue Blume blüht schon bald
die Ungewissheit reizt mich,
die Unbesinntheit treibt mich
Ich komm wieder wenn ich weiß,
ich komm wieder wenn ich weiß
weiß noch nicht wohin es mich trägt
ich komm wieder wenn ich weiß,
wenn ich weiß wo sie erblüht
Zwei Gleise Richtung Ferne,
ich vernehm' den Ruf der Fremde
die blaue Blume blüht schon bald
die Ungewissheit reizt mich,
die Unbesinntheit treibt mich
ich komm wieder wenn ich weiß
Zwei Gleise Richtung Ferne,
ich vernehm' den Ruf der Fremde
die blaue Blume blüht schon bald
die Ungewissheit reizt mich,
die Unbesinntheit treibt mich
ich komm wieder wenn ich weiß
Zwei Gleise Richtung Ferne,
ich vernehm' den Ruf der Fremde
die blaue Blume blüht schon bald
die Ungewissheit reizt mich,
die Unbesinntheit treibt mich
ich komm wieder wenn ich weiß

Winter sounds crying like an old man slowly dying
And the only sound, the wind that fills the trees
Even colder comes the moon
And though it never seems too soon
Sudden stillness as the rainfall starts to freeze
I'm Mr.Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
I'm Mr.Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
A young girl, she is shaded
Bears the scars that never faded
Of the baby that was born on Christmas day
While the heaven sing their song
A child's life is never long
'Cause the food supplies will only last a day
I'm Mr.Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
I'm Mr.Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
Patriot emotion is the 'cause of the commotion
After all there's really no one here to blame
Soldiers taking orders 'cause we must defend the borders
Of our nation and the other side's the same
I'm Mr.Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
I'm Mr.Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
I'll come to you at night
When all the world is sleeping tight
And lie beside you till the early morning dew
You can't hear me, you can't see
But you can feel me when you read
The folded letter she left addressed to you
I'm Mr.Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
I'm Mr.Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too

You've got a blue eyed soul
And if you don't let it show
It'll leave you, you won't even know
Without your blue eyed soul
Can you keep it simple?
Can you let the snare crack?
Can you let it move without holding back?
Are you afraid to let it go?
Without your blue eyed soul?
You're gonna lose control
You're gonna lose control
Without your blue eyed soul
Without your blue eyed soul
Without your blue eyed soul

Oh, the band marched on in formation
The brass was phasing tunes I couldnt place
Windows open and raining in
Maroon, yellow, blue, gold and gray

The drunks were ricocheting
The old buildings downtown
Empty so long ago
Windows broken and dreaming
So happy to leave what was my home


With a sky blue sky
This rotten time
Wouldnt seem so bad to me now
Oh, I didnt die
I should be satisfied
I survived
That's good enough for now


With a sky blue sky
This rotten time
Wouldnt seem so bad to me now
Oh, if I didnt die
I should be satisfied
I survived
That's good enough for now

Well, now that she is gone
You won't feel bad for long
For maybe just an hour
Or just a moment of the day
Then blue turns to grey
And try as you may
You just don't feel good
And you don't feel alright
And you know that you must
Find her, find her, find her
You think you'll have a ball
And you won't hurt at all
You'll find another girl
Or maybe more to pass the time away
Then blue turns to grey
And try as you may
You just don't feel good
And you don't feel alright
And you know that you must
Find her, find her, find her
She's not home when you call
So you then go to all
All the places where she likes to be
But she has gone away
Then blue turns to grey
And try as you may
You just don't feel good
And you don't feel alright
And you know that you must
Find her, find her, find her
Blue turns to grey, blue turns to grey, blue turns to grey

I know that I can't keep her,
Now she's in love with you,
But I just wanna see, I won't be far away,
So don't make my baby blue.
I know your reputation,
They say you can be true,
But I'll be standing by, so you just better try and
Don't make my baby blue.
That little girl's an angel,
And it hurts me to set her free,
So you'd better take good care of her
'Cause she still means a world to me.......
I'm gonna step aside now,
Just like she wants me to,
But even though I'm gone, I'll still be looking on, so
Don't make my baby blue.....
But even though I'm gone, I'll still be looking on, so
Don't make my baby blue.....
Don't make my baby blue.....
Don't make my baby blue.....

I got you
I got you
I got you
I got you and clear blue skies
Never cold
Never snow
Nobody nobody
Ever knows
I got you
I got you
I got you
I got you and clear blue skies
I see you and
I see you and
I see you and
I see you and clear blue skies
Keep me warm
Summer time
Nobody nobody
Be so kind
I got you
I got you
I got you
I got you and clear blue skies

The bartender's eyes are full of pity
As he tells her, "You're alone, and it's 2:30
All the chairs are on the tables, and it's time to close"
She said, "A minute ago, they were staring at me. Where the hell did they go?"
Then she went out to paint the town
Roses are red, violence is too
Everyone knows I'm painting the town blue
"You look funny when you cry," were his last words
Before he laughed and said goodbye, she flipped a finger
And so she picked her shoes up, picked up her feet
And let them walk, hand in hand, down the dirty hallway
Then she went out to paint the town
Roses are red, violence is too
Everyone knows I'm painting the town blue
Was she beat? Did she suffer from a working hand?
She always hated his hacking cough early in the morning
She walked to the Greyhound to take a little ride
He could look in the corner of every town, but he won't find her
'Cause she went out to paint the town
Roses are red, violence is too
Everyone knows I'm painting the town blue

He waits in a beach apartment
Blue spark
Thousands of lights, thousands of people
She's forgotten him for the bodies around her
Blue shock, exchange
Blue shock, exchange
Blue spark
What goes between the eyes downtown
Blue spark
Oh, loudspeakers and search lights the boulevard
She comes home later just to give him
Blue shock, exchange
Blue shock, exchange
Blue spark
Blue spark
Blue spark

Blue gardenia
Now I'm alone with you
And I am also blue.
He has tossed us aside
And like you, gardenia,
Once I was near his heart.
After the tear drops start,
Where are tear drops to hide?
I lived for an hour,
What more can I tell?
Love bloomed like a flower
Then the petals fell.
Blue gardenia,
Thrown to a passing breeze,
But pressed,
Yes, there pressed in my book of memories.
I lived for an hour,
What more can I tell?
Love bloomed like a flower
And then the petals fell.
Blue gardenia,
Thrown to a passing breeze,
But pressed
In my book of memo-ries,
But pressed
In my book of memo-ries.

My brave boy sleeps in his faded coat of blue
In a lonely grave unknown lies the heart that beat so true.
He sank faint and hungry among the Spanish brave
And they laid him sad and lonely in a nameless grave.
CHORUS: No more the bugle calls the weary one.
Rest, noble spirit in their graves unknown
For we'll find you and know you among the good and true
Where a robe of white is given for a faded coat of blue.
[Instrumental break]
He cried "Give me water and just a little crumb
And my mother she will bless you through all the years to come
And tell my sweet sister, so gentle, good and true.
That I'll meet her up in heaven in my faded coat of blue".
[Instrumental break]
No dear one was nigh him to close his mild blue eyes
No gentle voice was by him to give him sweet replies
No stone marks the lonely sod of my lad so brave and true
In a lowly grave he's sleeping in his faded coat of blue

It's too late, this model's out of date.
Got every spare part, but there ain't much heart inside here.
Not like the start, I was good at the art of survival;
I've always tried to keep my feelings deep inside
Where I can hide them, now I'm open wide.
When it ends, again I'll see my friends,
They'll give me a lift, I've been running adrift, so easy...
Shifting the gear, I've got nothing to fear from a showdown,
I'll go down quiet.
And the kids downstairs making a hell of a din,
I'm all alone, getting a quote for the wages of sin.
Beyond the indigo, indigo,
Where the chilly winds, winds will blow,
My time is running low.
Going to cross the dark, dark river,
Going to see my good life-giver,
Better cover my yellow liver.
All right, I'm giving up the fight,
I didn't know when I'd be a stranger again in my own land.
The days are okay, but oh, how I hate these long nights.
You understand?
Darling, please just hold my hand.
You feel so warm, in the eye of the storm,
I'm going away, I'm going away, I'm going away.
See you again someday...
Darling, I'm going away.
Feel like I'm going away, this time I'm going away.

Quand j'ai vu vos yeux pour la premiere fois,
J'etais perdu
Je suis venu a la Closerie Des Lilas tres souvent
On attend pour ces moments divins pour toute la vie
Mon coeur a ete prit par joie et mal
Quand je suis avec vous, je suis perdu
Just a few
Quand je suis amoureux, c'est la peur
Juste un peu
C'etait en octobre, il y a deux ans et c'etait la troisieme fois que je vous ai vu
J'ai pas eu le courage pour ces premiers mots impossibles
Et meme reflechir a ce probleme pour commencer une conversation etait un cliche
Quand je suis avec vous, je suis perdu
Just a few
Quand je suis amoureux, c'est la peur
Juste un peu
J'etais bien place au bar et camoufle derriere un livre tres important
Avec un sourire dans vos yeux vous m'avez demande : < Quel est le titre de
votre livre ? >
Et j'ai repondu apres une pause assez artificielle : < Je ne sais pas ! >
Quand je suis avec vous, je suis perdu
Just a few
Quand je suis amoureux, c'est la peur
Juste un peu
