Blue Overall Lyrics - The Big Express - 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
