Belle & Sebastian "The blues is still blue" testo

The blues is still blue

Look at the kid from schoolHe’s teaching mamas and papas how to be a little coolHe’s changing fashion, the way he dressThe tracksuits are old, and the hoody’s way too moodyFor a kid with the will to funkHe dances in secret; he’s a part-time punk

She’s getting off the planeShe wants to write a thesis on the population underprivilegedThe kids fighting up the laneShop lifting, just driftingLike The Switchblade And The CrossBut if there’s trouble she’s got the movesShe’s taking an elementary class in Kung fu

I left my washing in the launderetteYou can put some money on it, you can place a little betThat when I see my washingThe black will be grey and the white will be greyBut the blues are still blue

I’m crying out for my mumIf the malady don’t go away we’re in a little troubleWith the boss of the companyI’m a singer, a swinger I’m a layabout but laying onThe dock in the lazy sunWill never quite relegate me to a bum

I left my lady in the launderetteYou can put some money on it, you can place a little betThat when I see my ladyThe black will be white and the white will be blackBut The Blues Are Still Blue

Baby, I love your faceI’ve been creeping round this town because?Well, creeping’s just my wayBut with a little wink I’ll be thereI’ll be excited for a week, but then excitement starts to fadeI know your young, but you’re out of touchYou’re French, your vocabulary’s not quite formed

I left my homework in the launderetteI got a letter from my mamma which my stupid dog has ateI hid behind the fenceHere comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldogHe’s not making much sense

I left my lady in the launderetteYou can put some money on it, you can place a little betThat when I see my ladyThe black will be white and the white will be blackBut the blues are still blue?
