Black - I'm Not Afraid Lyrics






The cotton is high
The field is still full
The dust is drifting everywhere
A harvest moon comes up in the sky
The blues to shake me, wake me
It's a long way down to the birth of the blues
I haven't very far to fall since they were born
and came to haunt this singing fool since day one

There's so many ways to sing the blues
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, to let them break me

A harvest moon comes up in the sky
The cotton chokes me, makes me dry
I know that I'm unafraid and so I am
Just a ghost that walks through the room
I'll blame it on the moonshine brew; whisky and wine
Like dust in my eyes making pats of kidney

There's so many ways to sing the blues
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, to let them break me

The cotton is high
The field is still full
The dust is drifting everywhere
No! It's happening again, the blues are shaking, waking me
It's a long way down to the birth of the blues
I haven't very far to fall since they were born
And came to haunt this singing fool since day one

There's so many ways to sing the blues
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, to let them break me

    But it wasn't the follow up to 'Wonderful Life's' first release, which was the very cool 'Everything's Coming Up Roses' which also wasn't the hit it should have been. People have no taste., slagdonna/bon jovi/wet wet wet/whitney houston/bros/beastie boys loving tossers!


    On the other hand this became the 4th or 5th single off the album and that's a lot to expect. Wankers like slagdonna, minogue, fucking jackson family, shitney houston and some others with talent actually have the brass gall to get 500 off every bloody LP released, but even class acts like Duran, Kim Wilde, Bangles and the great ABBA often only get 3 off! And that's ABBA we're talking about! Maybe it was just too many. But it DOES sound like a single and I still hold true to my first observation. People have no taste!

    The only cool guy ever to be called Colin.

    V.... V....

    In the music industry, yes. Not in the acting world. Quite a few cool Colins.

  22. O.... ....

    great artist..

  23. V.... U....

    Actually Monsieur Redajam - you have mastered the sound so well on this I can hear tiny notes and synth beats that are not hearable on the tape = the Happy Man! Takes me right back to The Harrington ha ha ha...

  24. V.... U....

    Applause!

  25. c.... ....

    Wonderful Life is by far the best Black Album - still retaining the passion of their early stuff before the blander later material - did some good stuff later and Colin's solo material is magnificent but this era was Black's Golden Age...

  26. T.... K....

    Agree for a bad single choice, nevertheless quite interesting to get to hear this edit. Energetic, not a bad song at all, but Black was still searching for their (or his) true musical style on Wonderful Life record.

    Black era bellísimoooo!!!...además de talentoso, claro!, jejeje
