Cole, Lloyd - Perfect Blue Lyrics

500th thumb up, glad to be this one, I've always Lloyd Cole and this song in particular since college years

Thanks very much - yep, one of my favourites too!

possibly their best song ever

Meravigliosa! ❤

Groovy funky at it's best with a bit or torment thrown in for good measure...

Lloyd Cole so underappreciated. Stupid Americans.

Lloyd Cole cornered the market of melancholy in the pre-prozac '80s

Clearly there are 10 mentally unstable folks out there who felt this thing if beauty was worthy of a thumbs down. Staggering.

Possibly because they remember the version that originally was published and is a bit different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1-IwtS7jzw

Classes for your masses

Brilliant song.

lloyd cole rules

um     azul   que     lembra         a    perfeição      do     ceu      azul      que     DEUS       criou!!!!!!!!

Here are the lyrics

Should you awake dear from your beauty sleep
To find your room swimming in blue and green
Should you awake to feel like you'd never slept
And feel so very old well don't you feel alone
I'm kind of blue blue for you again
I guess i`m a fool at least I'm not innocent
But what to do whatever I touch turns blue
And should you find yourself lost but in no need of sympathy
Calm down to the beach and watch the waves come in
I dream the ocean was in my house
I feel the surf against my skin
But I just can't keep the waves from dragging me down
But when you say
Oh baby you're my best friend
Then I lose I lose my common sense
I'm kind of blue it's the truth
Should you awake dear from your beauty sleep
To find your room swimming in blue and green
Should you awake to feel like you'd never slept
And feel so very old
Well don't you feel alone
I'm kind of blue blue for you again
I guess I'm a fool at least I'm not innocent
But what to do whatever I touch turns blue
Blue for you again
I guess I'm a fool at least I'm not innocent
I may be blue but don't you let me make you blue
Too...

lloyd cool kix ass

I know that is low views.
i know that lloyd Cole is better than that.
But i know that i`m luck to lesson the musics of a genius.
And i`m still special for it.

another neglected nugget of 80s gold.........go figure???!!!!

+DANIEL MCSORLEY Not neglected by me amigo...

+DANIEL, certainly!! This album was great, but nobody knew it! I was one of the lucky people to listen it as soon as it was released!

Why neglected? Ide rather go to a smaller gig instead the stadium. Watched him 2 or 3 times and just loved it

my youth,this is brilliant

Can someone post the Paul Hardiman version from the "RIP " collection ? I prefer it, it's leaner and more eloquent.

Balearic classic

Wow my album of my youth xx still sounds amazing
Gonna get it on iTunes love love love xxxxxxxxxxxx

Love Lloyd and his commotions. But it might be correct - the notion that Brits do not like intelligent musicians - they seem to prefer high wanking loud mouths. But then again, I am a simple Scandinavian, liking intelligent musicians with great texts and amazing tunes.

Great comment Magdalena! We in the UK have great intelligent/emotional musicians, but people prefer to listen to Robbie Williams!

@Magdalena M. hi magdalena i am 1 brit who loves lloyd cole, i also loved travelling around denmark & sweden ;)

+Magdalena M. such crap

My experience is that this is not only the case with British people, but all over the wordl as well.

If you feed people enough shit, they develop a taste for it.

The best ending of a song,that I know off !!

I dream the ocean was in my house, I feel the surf against my skin. I just can't keep the waves from dragging me down! Genius Lyricist!!

LLOYD FREAKIN COLE MAN !!!

My favorite of their albums and Perfect Blue is just perfect. It nails that combination of wordplay and melancholy that Lloyd Cole always did so well.

Excellent track - thanks.

First heard this on WZMB Greenville N.C. ECU campus radio. It reminds me of sunrise surf sessions on the outer Banks and being twenty Two. "you we're twenty three you could do anything, now you open your mouth and spit the gutter out!" (do's it feel so bad to be forty eight.)

maravilhoso, merveilleuse, perfect!

@neilb13 I know. Disgraceful...
