Scritti Politti - Rock-A-Boy Blue lyrics

rate me

The girls are hep 'n' the men are divine

'n' everything is gin and roses

You are new to me an' I'm so happy

You can whisper and I will listen

The world becomes a motion picture

I got it beat oh I got it licked, yeah

Rock-a-boy blue

It seems so sad

But the film goes dim like a faraway star

A frozen frame like silver paper

When the kissing gets very hard

Just to try and get at something

When the representatives turn to leaders

As long as you know as long as you need us

We'll be there

You know it's true

Don't they love like a rock-a-boy should

Don't they rock like lonely lovers

Don't they want to make the money

Don't they want to be the Beatles

Things ain't clear, they're just transparent

The trick of the trade is to make them apparent-ly

Rock-a-boy blue

You know that I said that you know that

I learnt to live with the beats in the bar

Made me sick with repetition

I learnt to love that one note samba

No surprise or definition

I guess I can learn to love what I used to

If you can get used to just getting used by

Rock-a-boy blue

Baby, then more fool you

I learnt to live with the beats in the bar

That made me sick with repetition

I learnt to love that one note samba

No surprise or definition

I guess I can learn to love what I used to

If you can get used to just getting used by

Rock-a-boy blue

Baby, more fool you.
