I Call It The Blues


Storm has broken. Clouds have drifted.
Kickin' rainbows. No-one needs that gold anymore.
At least that's what they are saying.
D.P. 'n' pinking.
Everybody spoofs to see who's payin' or drinkin'
But me I'm just happy laughing at 'em all.

Somebody said "it's all right".
An' everybody agreed.
Everybody 'cept me.
Ah me I call it the blues.

Whole world's waitin'. No bets're taken.
Everybody's livin' in a plastic cocoon.
Everybody 'cept me.
The new beam hangers. Tagger onners.
They're all too blind to see beyond their own noses
That smell paper roses.

Somebody said "it's all right".
An' everybody agreed.
Everybody 'cept me.
Ah me I call it the blues.

Can't get tickets, for the big game.
Don't even wanna go anyway
Rather go shooting moonbeams.
The saints are all out. They'll party tonight.
Tryin' to prove that they're something they'll never be.
Everybody 'cept me.

Somebody said "it's all right".
An' everybody agreed.
Everybody 'cept me.
Ah me I call it the blues.
