Zaz Turned Blue Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

Zaz had red hair 

He didn't care 

He always laughed loud 

He wasn't proud 

Just a real easy guy 

Wouldn't tell a lie 

But then one day 

Zaz turned blue 

Zaz turned blue 

What were we supposed to do 

Yeah, Zaz turned blue 

What were we supposed to do 

When Zaz turned blue 

One night in the park 

For a lark 

Zaz let Steve Brown 

Fool around 

Steve squeezed his neck 

Figure what the heck 

But Zaz hit the ground 

He was down 

Oh, Zaz turned blue 

What were we supposed to do 

Yeah, Zaz turned blue 

What were we supposed to do 

When Zaz turned blue 

After high school 

Zaz was cool 

He worked on cars 

He went to bars 

And then one day 

He went away 

He became a marine 

At the age of eighteen 

But he didn't want to fight 

Didn't do it out of spite 

And he didn't want to die 

No he didn't want to die 

And he seemed kind of strange 

Could it be that he changed 

On that night in the park 

When he fainted in the dark 

Zaz didn't die 

Lucky guy 

There were no parades 

How the glory fades 

Now he shoots lots of pool 

And as a rule 

Wears a silly grin 

On his chin 

It all started when 

Zaz turned blue 

What were we supposed to do 

Yeah, when Zaz turned blue 

What were we supposed to do 

When Zaz turned blue
