about

This was originally written back-to-front. The chorus was the verse and vice-versa. Dave Kirby suggested turning them around. In 2000, Stu H and I added the introduction. There are five verses but the other two rarely make the cut when it makes it into a set list. It was very loosely based upon some events when I was in sixth form but they don't all refer to the same person.

lyrics

I Got Those Blues Again
Lyrics by Chris Roscoe 19/06/1987, music by Chris & Dave K 1987 (modified in 2000 by Chris & Stu)

I used to ring her at a long day’s end
I had to be with her again
When I saw her I’d hold her tightly
I had to be with her all through the night
All was well we got on fine
But I got those blues again when she called time

I went out dancing when she went away
But she came home early and found me at play
I tried to lie but it just wouldn’t work
She threw a chair at me and called me a jerk
I’m not stupid I can read the signs
And I got those blues again ‘cause she called time

I’ll keep on lookin’ for another girl
None of them really give me that thrill
Though there’s a good looker I could name
I’d make a fool of myself again
It makes me sad but she’ll never be mine
I got those blues again ‘cause she called time.
