Paloma Faith - Black & Blue lyrics

rate me

I know a man who fills his emptiness with strangers (strangers)

I know a girl who drinks herself to sleep at night

You can't change her (change her)

I know people who use chat rooms as confessionals

I know down and outs who once were, once they were professionals

Wipe it off your sleeve, your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet!

I know a single mother who loses her mind on weekends (weekends)

She pleads with lady luck on scratch cards

With money lent to her by old friends (old friends)

I know people who take midnight drives to head space

I know what they'd give for just one loving embrace

Wipe it off your sleeve, your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet!

Chorus:

We're just the same

We all get desperate sometimes

Feeling black and blue

I know you'll find it hard to accept it sometimes

We all feel black and we feel blue!

Wipe it off your sleeve, your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet!

I know a rich man who has everything you could wish for,

But children (children)

I know an old lady who talks a lot but could teach you

If you listen (listen)

I know people who believe in gods and demons

I know ones who think there's nothing there at all

Wipe it off your sleeve, your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet!

Chorus:

We're just the same

We all get desperate sometimes

Feeling black and blue

I know you'll find it hard to accept it sometimes

We all feel black and we feel blue!

Wipe it off your sleeve, your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet!

Wipe it off your sleeve, your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet!
