Blues Never Fade Away Lyrics - The Captain And The Kid - Elton John

(Hmm, hmm, oh) 

He wasn't famous but I sure did love him 

I've got his picture in a little frame 

He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name 

But there's so many more and I've lost count 

The hows and whys aren't important now 

All that matters is they came around 

And brightened up our lives 

She was twenty one with her life ahead 

You don't need to know her name 

She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade 

But fate's right hand isn't always just 

Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust 

She was just a little girl ain't that enough 

To rage against the day

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And how did we get so lucky? 

Targets on the rifle range 

Who makes the call and who gets to choose? 

Who gets to win and who gets to lose? 

It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues 

And blues never fade away 

Hey, hey, the colors run when the rain falls 

But blues never fade away 

He shone so bright with a lust for life 

Like the Sun King that he was 

His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth 

And for reasons I never understood 

About the choices made between the bad and good 

I've tried to figure out but 

The pain never goes away 

And how did we get so lucky? 

Targets on the rifle range 

Who makes the call and who gets to choose? 

Who gets to win and who gets to lose? 

It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues 

And blues never fade away 

Hey, hey, hey, the colors run when the rain falls 

But blues never fade away 

And there's marble markers and little white crosses 

Along the beaten path 

And I've spread their ashes on the wind 

And I miss John Lennon's laugh (John Lennon's laugh) 

And how did we get so lucky? 

Targets on the rifle range 

Who makes the call and who gets to choose? 

Who gets to win and who gets to lose? (Who gets to lose?) 

And how did we get so lucky? (You get so lucky, yeah, yeah) 

Targets on the rifle range 

Who makes the call and who gets to choose? (Who gets to choose?) 

Who gets to win and who gets to lose? (Who gets to lose?) 

And how did we get so lucky? (You get so lucky, yeah, yeah) 

Targets on the rifle range 

Who makes the call and who gets to choose? (Who gets to choose?) 

Who gets to win and who gets to lose? (Who gets to lose?) 

It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues (Belly of the blues) 

And blues never fade away 

Hey, hey, hey, the colors run when the rain falls (Run) 

But blues never fade away (Never fade away) 

To fade away (To fade away) 

To fade away, to fade away (Hmm, hmm)
