Old Red Eyes Is Back Lyrics - Singles - Beautiful South

(Heaton/Rotheray) 

Old Red eyes is back 

Red from the night before the night before 

Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door 

Old Red's in town 

And sitting late at night he doesn't make a sound 

Just adding to the wrinkles on his deathly frown 

They're only red from all the tears that I should've shed 

They're only red from all the women that I could've wed 

So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise 

They could never be blue 

They could never be blue 

They could never be blue 

They could never be blue

Listen up Old Red 

You never listened to a word the doctor said 

He told you if you drank another you'd be dead 

Old Red Eyes is back 

His shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore 

He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw 

They're only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head 

They're only red from all the things I could have done instead 

So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise 

They could never be blue 

They could never be blue 

They could never be blue 

They could never be blue 

Blue is a street without an end 

Red is the colour of my hell 

Blue is a greeting from a friend 

Red is the colour of farewell

Old Red he died 

And every single landlord in the district cried 

An empty bottle of whisky laying by his side 

A lazy little tear running from each eye 

They could never be blue 

They could never be blue 

They could never be blue 

They could never be blue
