Blue Chair Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Blue Chair Lyrics

    Now it's just you and me, my blue friend
    And you say that it's you that she's thinking of
    And our affair must end
    But if it's you that she's thinking of
    I think my broken heart might mend

    Chorus: now it's my turn to talk and your turn to think
    Your turn to buy and my turn to drink
    Your turn to cry and my turn to sink down in the blue chair
    Down in the blue chair

    Now i've made up my mind i've made my mistake
    And i know that she cries for you
    When she's barely awake
    Well she's going to bend your mind
    Well i hope it don't break

    Chorus

    Down in the blue chair
    We can watch our troubles rise
    Like smoke into the air
    And drift up to the ceiling
    Down in the blue chair
    You can feel just like a boy or a man
    And next minute you can find yourself kneeling
    Down in the blue chair
    They're boasting of loving the daylights right out of her in the small hours
    Down in the blue chair
    You say that your love lasts forever when you know the night just hours

    And still i want her right now
    Not any minute, hour or day
    And wherever she is tonight
    I want her anyway
    I suppose she never said to you,
    You were just in the way

    Chorus

    Down in the blue chair
    Down in the blue
    Blue becomes you
    Down in the blue chair
