‘Live hard, die young – have a beautiful corpse’ school of life...
Hey Blue
Lyrics by Mick Evans
Sex, drugs - Mister Rock n Roll
how much living you got left?
Hey Blue - what’s still there to lose
’fore you take your last breath?
Hey Blue - crazy dreamer
open-up those bloodshot eyes -
wake up - to the bitter-sweet truth
sleeping with those beautiful lies
Running out of road - in the evening sun
running on empty - with a smoking gun
Hey Blue
give me endless highways of travelling bands
give me empty promises for one-night stands
rock n roll rippin’ through those hands
Hey Blue
so damn beautiful - so damn beautiful
Sleep, drink - let ‘Jesus Save Your Soul’
time to mend those wicked ways
Hey Blue - who’s fighting for you
chasing through these dimming days?
Running out of road - in the evening sun
when d’you stop looking so young?
Hey Blue
give me endless highways of travelling bands
give me empty promises for one-night stands
rock n roll rippin’ through those hands
Hey Blue
so damn beautiful - so damn beautiful
I'll see how hard a helpless man tries
say a prayer where that torn body lies
I’ll lay pennies on those wandering eyes
Hey Blue – I see you – I see you
Hey Blue
give me endless highways of touring bands
give me empty promises for one-night stands
rock n roll rippin’ through those hands
Hey Blue
so damn beautiful - so damn beautiful
