The Blues Are Still Blue Lyrics - The Life Pursuit - Belle And Sebastian

Well, look at the kid from school 

He's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool 

He's changing fashion, the way he dress 

The tracksuits are old, and the hoodie's way too moody 

For a kid with the will to funk 

He dances in secret, he's a part-time punk 

Now she's getting off the plane 

She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged 

The kids fighting up the lane 

Shoplifting, just drifting 

Like The Switchblade and the Cross 

But if there's trouble she's got the moves 

She's taking an elementary class in kung fu

I left my washing in the launderette 

You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet 

That when I see my washing 

The black will be gray and the white will be gray 

But the blues are still blue 

I'm crying out for my mum 

If the malady don't go away we're in a little trouble 

With the boss of the company 

I'm a singer, a swinger, I'm a layabout but laying on 

The dock in the lazy sun 

Will never quite relegate me to a bum 

I left my lady in the launderette 

You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet 

That when I see my lady 

The black will be white and the white will be black 

But the blues are still blue 

Photos 

Oh, baby, I love your face (Baby, I love your face) 

I've been creeping round this town because 

Well, creeping's just my way 

But with a little wink I'll be there (Little wink I'll be there) 

I'll be excited for a week, but then excitement starts to fade 

I know you're young, but you're out of touch 

You're French, your vocabulary's not quite formed 

I left my homework in the launderette 

I got a letter from my mama which my stupid dog has ate 

I hid behind the fence 

Here comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldog 

He's not making much sense 

I left my lady in the launderette 

You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet 

That when I see my lady 

The black will be white and the white will be black 

But the blues are still blue 

I left my lady in the launderette 

You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet 

That when I see my lady 

The black will be white and the white will be black 

But the blues are still blue
