The Blues

Sweet 17's got coloured eyes like a TV screen

they both turn red when she's got the blues

Sweet 17, once for all and for ever green

now she has claimed what she might lose

She's the kind of girl that makes a man

feel at home in a no mans land

like children grab a stranger's hand

and I got the blues - I got the blues

I got the blues - I got the blues - I got the blues

Sweet 17 performs her skin like a

beauty queen

with looks that kill when she undress

Sweet 17, fingernails like a guillotine

why turn my back to her caress

She's so sublime like alabaster

every wrong step would entirely crash her

I like to catch her if she falls

and i got the blues - i got the blues

She left a few lines when she disappeard

one for every wasted year

and one for being still alive

I woke up one morning

the walls were closing in on me

she called from the clouds

her shadow was all I could see

How happy can you be before you've fed?

How loaded must you be before you forget?

How much more can a man expect

when a man has the right to choose?

If human hearts are made of ice

where did you learn how to sing the blues?
