From the recording The Trials and Tribulations of Miss French Part Two
Lyrics
Verse 1
Heard it on a talk back show
It gave me the blues
it gave me the blues
Killing brothers frontpage news
Gives you the blues,
It gives you the blues
What is our future with these views
Drowning in blues,
Drowning in Blues
Chorus:
Something is not quite right
When there’s no rhyme or reason
To take another’s life
To kill with no purpose but pleasing
Verse 2
Heard it on a talk back show
Telling sisters telling brothers
Well they were
Telling young ones in their youth
Feel free to take from another
In a way that would not do
For our hearts to recover
Chorus:
Something is not quite right
When there’s no rhyme or reason
To sacrifice what’s right
To take with no purpose but pleasing
LEADBREAK
Verse 3
Heard it on a talk back show
It gave me the blues,
It gave me the blues
Broken futures frontpage news
Gives you the blues,
It gives you the blues
What is our future with these views
Nothing but blues
Nothing but blues
Nothing but blues
Nothing but blues
Nothing but blues
Nothing but blues oooh
Nothing Nothing
Bu---ut blues
