The Early Garage Years

The Bluetones The Early Garage Years Lyrics
1.Are You Blue Or Are You Blind? (Demo)

Lyricist:Edward Daniel Chesters, Adam Patrick Devlin, Mark James
Morriss, Scott Edward Morriss

Sleep clouds disperse and settle on my bed
Leave my eyes but cling like cobwebs to my head
It's like a book I never read
All the dust inside my head

Can't be bought and you can keep tomorrow
Can't be saved, there ain't no flies on me
Can't be caught, the plague that ate your soul
Can keep away from me

Down the evening rain falls waltzing 'round my feet
Paints reflections of the houses on my street
Drawn out as the night draws in
By the sound of laughing, the smell of sin

Can't be bought and you can keep tomorrow
Can't be saved, there ain't no flies on me
Can't be caught, the plague that ate your soul
Can keep away from me

Smile again for me as if you're going to say
Nothing could have done all this then gone away
I may have just saved my life
On a childish whim or a pretty rhyme

Can't be bought and you can keep tomorrow
Can't be saved, there ain't no flies on me
Can't be caught, the plague that ate your soul
Can keep away from me

Can't be bought and you can keep tomorrow
Can't be saved, there ain't no flies on me
Can't be caught, the plague that ate your soul
Can keep away from me


2.Time And Again (Demo)

Lyricist:Edward Daniel Chesters, Adam Patrick Devlin, Mark James
Morris, Scott Edward Morris

Nothing I can do could ever bring those feelings back
I've taken everything, my body is a bloated sack
The days behind me start rolling into months
Is time running out?

But my head feels too heavy
My legs feel too weak
All I can do now is sleep

Everything is empty now, the things I knew are gone
Darkness lays dormant now, a color once shone
I compromise my conscience just to get me through the day
Is this my reward?

And I'm going on journeys
Exhausting my muse
I'm taking everything
To see what I can use

If I found a brand new color
Something no one had ever seen
I dug it up right there in my garden
That would be the greatest thing

Nothing I can do could ever bring those feelings back
I've taken everything, my body is a bloated sack
The days behind me start rolling into months
Is time running out?

And faced with having to
Have and then lose
I'd choose never to have had

If I found a brand new color
Something no one had ever seen
I dug it up right there in my garden
That would be the greatest thing

I only want to speak to you
I only want to let you know
Time and again my feelings
Never seem to show

If I found a brand new color
Something no one had ever seen
I dug it up right there in my garden
That would be the greatest thing


3.Cut Some Rug (Demo)

Lyricist:Edward Chester, Adam Patrick Devlin, Mark James Morris, Scott
Morris

Seems like you're always
A million miles away
As far as I'm concerned
That's where you can stay
And all the time I'm reminded

Used to be a time
We had a lot in common
But now as far as I can see
You've got something coming
And all the time you're behind me

And all the time you remind me
Of blitzkrieg and the doodlebug
Salt upon a bubbling slug
You say I can talk to you anytime
But I just wanna cut some rug
Turn yourself away and shrug
And say I can talk anytime

It's easy living in a bubble
No complication or trouble
But it's hard to have responsibility
And judging by you a personality

And all the time you remind me
Of blitzkrieg and the doodlebug
Salt upon a bubbling slug
You say I can talk to you anytime
But I just wanna cut some rug
Turn yourself away and you shrug
And say I can talk anytime

And all the time you remind me
Of blitzkrieg and the doodlebug
Salt upon a bubbling slug
You say I can talk to you anytime
But I just wanna cut some rug
You turn yourself away and you shrug
And say I can talk to you anytime

I can talk to you anytime
But I just wanna cut some rug
Blitzkrieg and the doodlebug
Salt upon a bubbling slug
You say I can talk to you anytime
But I just wanna cut some rug
You turn yourself away and shrug
And say I can talk anytime


4.Slight Return

Lyricist:Edward Daniel Chester, Adam Patrick Devlin, Mark Morris,
Scott Morris

Where did you go
When things went wrong for you
When the knives came out for you?

Where did you go?
All you needed was a friend
You just had to ask and then

You don't have to have the solution
You've got to invest in the problem
And don't go hoping for a miracle

All this will fade away
So I'm coming home
I'm coming home

What did you learn
Locked away all on your own
Chance and your head all blown

What did you learn?
It was unfortunate
You missed your chance to find out that

You don't have to have the solution
You've got to invest in the problem
And don't go hoping for a miracle

All this will fade away
So I'm coming home
I'm coming home

You don't have to have the solution
You've got to invest in the problem
And don't go hoping for a miracle

All this will fade away
So I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
But just for a short while


5.The Fountainhead (Demo)

Lyricist:Chesters Edward Daniel, Adam Tadek Gorecki, Morriss Scott
Edward, Mark James Morriss

God knows I've tried to bridge the gap
I've tried to be me and time after time I've lied
Just to say the things you wanted to hear
Look, look what I've done, look what I do
I'm starting to pull myself through

Hell could feasibly freeze
But in your eyes I'll always be the fountainhead
The boy whose thoughts keep running away
And you know I'm right

Wasn't it you who said that when looking
To open the eyes in my head?
And now I can see from your mistakes
You're as blind as me, God knows I've tried
God knows I try to be something more than I am

Hell could feasibly freeze
But in your eyes I'll always be the fountainhead
The boy whose thoughts keep running away
And you know I'm right

What can I say about being a fount?
It's a game that we play, it goes 'round and around
I shall stick to the rules but I won't suffer fools
And I won't lose the plot and I won't lose my cool

Can't you see what I've done, can't you see what I do?
It's not really unique and it's hopelessly crude
But these are my decisions, these are my mistakes
And I'll fall down again if that's what it takes


6.Talking To Clarry (Demo)

Lyricist:Edward Daniel Chesters, Adam Tadek Gorecki, Mark James
Morriss, Scott Edward Morriss

I don't have to be feeling down to speak of you
But I'll visit you not only when I'm feeling blue
You make me happy when I was happy to start with
You make my life so precious and so easy to part with

Life rolls along and teaches us nothing
So why am I still around waiting for something?
Do you have the answers to all of my questions?
Maybe not, but I'd like to hear your suggestions

Talk to me, you don't talk to me
Talk to me, you don't talk to me

People in corridors, people in doorways
People wherever I turn
So many people round out the shadows
So many people to learn and to burn

Communication is blurred
I can't understand a word
So there's nothing to be heard
It's all gone quite absurd

So there's nothing to be heard
It's all gone quite absurd
So there's nothing to be heard
It's all gone quite absurd


7.Sleazy Bed Track

I know it's getting late
But if you'd like to talk a little more
Well, that's alright with me

I'm feeling kinda tired
But it ain't exactly beating down my door
Now just why could this be?

And I know I shouldn't say
But you've been acting strange
The last few days
And this has made me think

Your pills have cost too much
And you can't feel them working any more
So pour them down the sink
And listen to me

All you've gotta do is, baby
Kick off your shoes and lay down
Climb up here with me
And let's forget about sleep and lay down

Why hide your face from me?
Why turn away?
All I wanna do is pull you closer and say

I'm feeling kinda tired
But it ain't exactly beating down my door
Now just why could this be?
Will you listen to me?

All you've gotta do is, baby
Kick off your shoes and lay down
Climb up here with me
And let's forget about sleep, just lay down with me

Lay down next to me
Lay down with me

I know I shouldn't say
But you've been acting strange the last few days
And this has made me think
You know it got me thinking

Your pills have cost too much
And you can't feel them working any more
So pour them all right down the sink
