Move Away Jimmy Blue Lyrics - Hatful Of Rain: The Best Of Del Amitri - Del Amitri

A struck match faded like a nervous laugh 

Beyond the halo of a naked bulb 

And your low voice mingles with your other half's 

School friends in second-hand clothes 

Eventually your world will shrink within 4 walls 

Of neglected debts and stolen stereos 

So move away Jimmy Blue 

Before your small, small town turns around 

And swallows you 

A drunk mother was the cue 

For the legendary things that you do 

Behind a carnival tent with mud on your face 

Behind the old glue factory too 

So move away Jimmy Blue 

Before your small, small town turns around 

And swallows you and swallows you 

Wet feet visit the same old places 

Yeah finding nothing new 

It's a bin full of tissues from made-up faces 

In a town full of nothing to do 

A love match with the moon 

In a lay by, while insects hum and 

You got put in the darkness of a woman's womb 

Jimmy Blue, Jimmy Blue 

So move away 

Turn around and move away yeah 

Move away Jimmy Blue 

Before your small, small town 

Turns around and swallows you
