Elvis Costello — Blue Chair lyrics

Lyrics

Now itЂ™s just you and memy blue friend
And you say that itЂ™s you that sheЂ™s thinking of And our affair must end
But if itЂ™s you that sheЂ™s thinking of I think my broken heart might mend
Chorus: now itЂ™s my turn to talk and your turn to think
Your turn to buy and my turn to drink
Your turn to cry and my turn to sink down in the blue chair
Down in the blue chair
Now IЂ™ve made up my mind IЂ™ve made my mistake
And I know that she cries for you
When sheЂ™s barely awake
Well sheЂ™s going to bend your mind
Well I hope it donЂ™t break
Down in the blue chair
We can watch our troubles rise
Like smoke into the air
And drift up to the ceiling
Down in the blue chair
You can feel just like a boy or a man
And next minute you can find yourself kneeling
Down in the blue chair
TheyЂ™re boasting of loving the daylights right out of her in the small hours
Down in the blue chair
You say that your love lasts forever when you know the night just hours
And still I want her right now
Not any minutehour or day
And wherever she is tonight
I want her anyway
I suppose she never said to you
You were just in the way
Down in the blue chair
Down in the blue
Blue becomes you
Down in the blue chair
