Move Away Jimmy Blue
A struck match faded like a nervous laugh
Beyond the halo of a naked bulb
Your low voice mingles with your other half's;
Schoolfriends in second-hand clothes
Eventually your world will shrink within four walls
Of neglected debts and stolen stereos.
So move away Jimmy Blue
Before your small, small town turns around
and swallows you
A drunk mother was the cue
For the legendary things that you do
Behind a carnival tent with mud on your face
Behind the old glue factory too.
So move away Jimmy Blue
Before your small, small town turns around
and swallows you
Wet feet visit the same old places
Finding nothing new
It's a binful of tissues from made-up faces
In a townful of nothing to do
A love match with the moon
In a layby, while insects hum and
You got put in the darkness of a woman's womb
Jimmy Blue.
So move away, yeh,
Move away Jimmy Blue
Before your small, small town
Turns around and swallows you.
Stay With Me
Even when the warning is
Even when the warning is
So where have you gone
Have you gone so far from the eyes that
Speak trouble and even when the warning is
Overwhelming
Well it's hard to hide from
Eyes that are all over you
That only some
Make you lose your composure
"Well it's hard on my heart"
Said, "Well open your eyes"
"Yeah, it gets harder every day"
Said, "I need to know now "
Soon you will be gone
Take your violet and blue
Mornings with yo
