Old Red Eyes Is Back Lyrics

    (heaton/rotheray)
    Old red eyes is back
    Red from the night before the night before
    Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door

    Old red's in town
    And sitting late at night he doesn't make a sound
    Just adding to the wrinkles on his deathly frown

    They're only red from all the tears that i should've shed
    They're only red from all the women that i could've wed
    So when you look into these eyes i hope you realise
    They could never be blue
    They could never be blue
    They could never be blue
    They could never be blue

    Listen up old red
    You never listened to a word the doctor said
    He told you if you drank another you'd be dead

    Old red eyes is back
    His shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore
    He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw

    They're only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head
    They're only red from all the things i could have done instead
    So when you look into these eyes i hope you realise
    They could never be blue
    They could never be blue
    They could never be blue
    They could never be blue

    Blue is a street without an end
    Red is the colour of my hell
    Blue is a greeting from a friend
    Red is the colour of farewell

    Old red he died
    And every single landlord in the district cried
    An empty bottle of whisky laying by his side
    A lazy little tear running from each eye
    They could never be blue
    They could never be blue
    They could never be blue
    They could never be blue
