Perfect Blue (Lloyd Cole)

should you awake dear from your beauty sleep

to find your room swimming in blue and green

should you awake to feel like you never slept

and feel so very old

well don’t you feel alone

I’m kind of blue

blue for you again

guess i’m a fool

at least I’m not innocent

but what to do

whatever I touch turns blue

and should you find yourself lost

but in no need of sympathy

come down to the beach and watch the waves coming in

I dream the ocean was my house

I feel the surf against my skin

but I just can’t keep the waves from dragging me down

but when you say ooh

baby you’re my best friend

that’s when I lose

I lose my common sense
I’m kind of blue

it’s the true

should you awake dear from your beauty sleep

to find your room swimming in blue and green

should you awake to feel like you never slept

and feel so very old

well don’t you feel alone

I’m kind of blue

blue for you again

guess i’m a fool

at least I’m not innocent

but what to do

well don’t you let me make you blue too

(Lloyd Cole)
