English Blues

Peter O’Doherty

Amazing commotion
Salacious devotion

The next and future king
Told her everything
Imagine how they felt when
Their conversation made
The six o'clock news
They got the English Blues
They got nothing to lose
But the kingdom

Unenviable position
Maintaining tradition

I saw his lonely tears
As the symphony was played
His atavistic ears
Almost drooped when he was
On the six o'clock news
He's got the English Blues
He got nothing to lose
But the kingdom
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

(Come back)
There's dangerous forces
Starting pistols and horses
Avalanches, divorces
Come back
Ba-ba-ba-ba

He paints the hills and dales
And watched his marriage fail
He almost crashed his plane
And all his near relations
Are on the six o'clock news
They got the English Blues
They got nothing to lose
But the kingdom
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
