Lyrics Blue Overall - XTC

Blue Overall

Blue overall
Overall the rooftop’s blue birds fly apart
Blue overall
Overall the bones that cage this stupid heart
Got blues drawing crosses on my front door
Blues a-bringing buckets 'round the back
Blues trying to push me from me white fence
And tar me a darker bluey black
For all this time
I really thought you loved me
For all this time
You only rubber gloved me
Blue overall
Overall my anvil gives no further sparks, no
Blue overall
Overall my fears swim hammer headed sharks
Got blues drinking beer out in the kitchen
Blue dog is barking to be fed
Got blues spilling wine upon me heart rug
They’re holding a party in my head
For all this time
I really thought you loved me
For all this time
You merely went and shoved me
I tried to lose myself in labor
The more I push the mirth
I’m giving birth to a baby’s turning
Blue overall
Feeling blue overall
Blue overall, blue overall
Blue overall, it’s blue overall
All over, I’m turning blue
Blue
Blue
Blue
