Shades Of Blue

On a road to nowhere
Just know I gotta go
Your poppa’s got a shotgun
He’s taking aim real slow
I was out the window
I was out that door
I left a trail of lonely clothes
Across the creaking floor
God knows I’m a loser
I’ll never settle down
Just throw away the big bouquet
And pawn the wedding gown
If I’d had some money
I’d have blown it all on you
I’d have kissed you 'til my lips hurt
Until we both turned blue
I was never clever
But you wouldn’t call me dumb
Whilst your daddy urged me to go
You were begging me to come
Washed up on an island
Watching all my treasure rust
No message in a bottle
Just silent footprints in the dust
God knows I’m a loser
I’ll never settle down
Just throw away the big bouquet
And pawn the wedding gown
If I’d had some money
I’d have blown it all on you
I’d have kissed you 'til my lips hurt
Until we both turned blue
Now those days are over
And you’ve left the factory
I just take my medicine
And gaze at my T.V.
You’ll be in your heaven
With kiddies on the floor
You don’t need some reformed bum
Knocking on your door
God knows I’m a loser
I’ll never settle down
Just throw away the big bouquet
And pawn the wedding gown
If I’d had some money
I’d have blown it all on you
I’d have kissed you 'til my lips hurt
Until we both turned blue
Ah, ah, shades of blue
Ah, ah, shades of blue
Ah, ah, shades of blue
Ah, ah, shades of blue
Oooh, oooh
I’m turning blue
