Lyrics:Blue Overall

by XTC

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
