Blue Boy

Orange Juice · Other Songs - Orange Juice

When he spoke she smiled in all the right places

In her smile he saw the poison she tasted

She wasn't listening to the sweet words

He wasn't listening to her lying tongue

He was listening to the words being sung

By the blue boy



Friends told him of her young heart's passion

Down by the sea where the blue waves crashing

She wasn't listening to the sweet words

He wasn't listening to her lying tongue

He was listening to the words being sung

By the blue boy



Oh curse and bless him with the gabardine which surrounds him

See him writhe at the sight of your eyes which repel him

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

He won't be listening to your sweet words

He won't be listening to your lying tongue

He'll be listening to the words being sung

By the blue boy



Whoa whoa blue boy

Whoa whoa blue boy

Whoa whoa blue boy

Cheerio, blue boy
