Into The Blues
Please sit down
 Tell me what you got to say
 Now there's a difference between truth and lies
 I can check
 I've got your DNA
 Now look me right between the eyes
 Tell me when I saw you 
 And your new lady friend
 What were you talking about 
 When you laughed 
 And your two cheeks met
 What were you talking about


 Let us talk
 In the morning babe
 I've got your DNA and the lie detect
 How I thought I could change your babe 
 All those flies buzzing round your head




 Look at me
 There's nothing new over there 
 You've seen that stereo a thousand times 
 Lift your head
 And lift my spirits up 
 Because you know
 I'm dying deep inside
 Don't you care about me
 Are you looking for freedom
 Is that what you're thinking about
 Do you wanna hold me in your arms and kiss
 Cos that's what I'm thinking about


 Let us talk
 In the morning babe
 I've got your DNA and the lie detect
 How I thought I could change your ways 
 All those flies buzzing round your head




 You got a brand new way of loving keeping the lights turned on
 You keep a comb in your pocket and your shinny shiny shoes 
 Yea don't touch the ground these days what's going on 
 Yea you think I'm stupid cos I don't complain
 Better sit your self down start talking fast
 And if the lying don't kill you
 The truth just might make you fade away
 Fade away
 Fade away
