Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes (BBC Radio One's ''In Concert'' 19/4/75) |
I walked into this bar and the man refused |
He said, «We don’t serve strangers in blue suede shoes |
We don’t give credit and we don’t give way |
We have to think about what the people might say |
You know what I mean?» |
I said, «Sure, man.» |
Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet |
And I offered him one of my cigarettes |
He took it, afraid that he might appear rude |
Then proceeded to sell me some second-class food |
Nice guy. |
Meet 'em everywhere |
He said «My oh my, I have suffered too long |
And this cigarette seems to be very strong |
I don’t make the rules, I just get what I take |
And I guess every rule was made to break |
You can take what you like, it won’t hurt me |
'Cause I’m just working for the company» |
From the green cigarette, he took a long drag |
And said «I think I’ll pack my travelling bag |
I’m tired of cheating and wasting my head |
And filling the boss’s bags with bread |
I want to get out in the sun and rain |
And feel the wind on my skin again |
The world is large and I’ve got time yet |
And by the way, thanks for that cigarette |
Thank you very much» |
You know I feel like a new man |
Yes I do |
I don’t know why |
I’d just like to say |
Thank you very much indeed |
It’s a beautiful day |
I think I’ll be on my way right away |
I’d like to say |
Thank you very much |
Yes, I’m getting the hell out of here |
Yes, I am |
Bye bye |
That’s the end of the message |
Thank you very much |
Bye bye |
Yes, bye bye! |
Bye bye! |
