Blue Chair — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Now its just you and me, my blue friend

And you say that its you that shes thinking of

And our affair must end

But if its you that shes thinking of

I think my broken heart might mend



Chorus: now its my turn to talk and your turn to think

Your turn to buy and my turn to drink

Your turn to cry and my turn to sink down in the blue chair

Down in the blue chair



Now Ive made up my mind Ive made my mistake

And I know that she cries for you

When shes barely awake

Well shes going to bend your mind

Well I hope it dont break



Chorus



Down in the blue chair

We can watch our troubles rise

Like smoke into the air

And drift up to the ceiling

Down in the blue chair

You can feel just like a boy or a man

And next minute you can find yourself kneeling

Down in the blue chair

Theyre boasting of loving the daylights right out of her in the small hours

Down in the blue chair

You say that your love lasts forever when you know the night just hours



And still I want her right now

Not any minute, hour or day

And wherever she is tonight

I want her anyway

I suppose she never said to you,

You were just in the way



Chorus



Down in the blue chair

Down in the blue

Blue becomes you

Down in the blue chair
