Fratellis, The - Ole Black 'N' Blue Eyes Lyrics






Well, she wants to be a singer in the band
Maybe I'll give the girl a hand
And a microphone
Looks like she's all alone

She can bring a friend
Though she's not my kind of friend
She keeps on staring me out
With her ole black and blue eyes

And I can take her dancing
Just to give the girl a chance and
I was never that good
At being nice when I should

I guess that she'll forgive me
Right before she tries to kill me
'Cause I sold her on yesterday's
"Come take me home" eyes

And I can take her waltzing
Just so she could kick my head in
Oh, I do believe I was drunk
And both of my heads had shrunk

I guess her name was Tina
'Cause before I'd even seen her
I was lost in her
"What's your name? Just get me fucked" eyes
"Oh, take me home" eyes

And Chelsea says she's got nowhere to go
And if she does, she's getting there slow
And I can help her out, but I've got somewhere to be
And that's the very thing when your dealing with me

Young soul shagger, begging me to bag her
Filthy heart and swollen hips
And she said, "Oh, my dearest,
I'm not pretty, isn't it a pity
That you won't kiss these rotten lips?"
"Oh, take me home" eyes
Ole black and blue eyes

And Chelsea says she's got nowhere to go
And if she does, she's getting there slow
And I can help her out, but I've got somewhere to be
And that's the very thing when your dealing with me

  18. M.... ....

  19. L.... C....

    mint love it

  20. L.... T....

    If Ed Sheeran sang this it'd be in the charts 😒😒

    L.... T....

    Well this is also an old song, but the album was a huge success ten years ago

    L.... T....

    You're so right

  21. L.... T....

    Very... different video.

  22. P.... ....

    This was surprisingly emotional

  23. L.... G....

    I love the videoclip :3

  24. D.... A....

    Tuneeeee 🎸

  25. A.... O....

    Good song, absolute shite video

  26. B.... A....

    this video is so fucking autistic

    B.... A....

    because look at it. the animation is so fucking disabled

    B.... A....

    Maybe because it's 10 years old.

    B.... A....

    just like you then

    B.... A....

    Wesley Andrews The animation looks right to me tho

    B.... A....

    Bill Andrews what do you mean?

  27. D.... ....

    I thought the lyrics were
    "I guess her name was Cena
    'Cause before I'd even seen her"

    Now I've read them and am disappointed :(

    D.... ....

    Can't see her!

    D.... ....

    And her name is... JOHN CENA!!!

  28. F.... B....

    ADDICTIVE😻

  29. B.... A....

    i think this video might just summarise autism and it's effect on the human mind

  30. n.... ....

    this is in my private music playlist today it said my playlist has 1000 views i have a problem

    n.... ....

    Idk why people are saying the video is weird, the animation is great to look at and the story is pretty straightforward and goes well with the song.

    yea the everything in the song corresponds to the video, I don't know why people don't realize that.

    r.... m....

    ryan mccoy Yeah

    r.... m....

    Both the song and the vid are touching, but both kind of in their own way.

    G.... ....

    mikeydbrown It's the kind of song that you sing along to with soul and almost cry after. Especially the last chorus.

    G.... ....

    Apple iTunes Version is easily top 5 fratellis. Too bad it's only available to the Kiwis.

  43. r.... ....

  47. L.... A....

    This Chelsea person gets mentioned a lot in these songs.. :-P

    L.... A....

    +Lavi Abitbol She's Jon Fratelli's wife-- her stage name as a burlesque performer was Chelsea Dagger. I'd imagine they'd be an interesting couple to talk to. :D

    L.... A....

    +Spencer Andersen Oh okay, thanks for that - didn't know :-)

    L.... A....

    And Rosie/Lucy

  48. a.... t....

    Think since I refound this song I've listened to it about 5000 times! Utter genius!

  49. o.... ....

    the town kinda reminded me of black water gospel

    o.... ....

    Me too!! That was my first thought when I saw this. This is just significantly happier.

  50. Y.... A....

    Great. Just fucking great. I feel like I've heard this song years ago (I haven't), and I come back to listen to it again.. Never felt this nostalgic for a song I haven't heard before

    Y.... A....

    @Iosso Yep. They have a knack for writing a melody that feels familiar and close.

  51. T.... S....

    What's the meaning of this song

    T.... S....

    Well, she want's to be a singer. Maybe he'll give the girl a hand. And a microphone. (Looks like she's all alone.) ; )

    T.... S....

    Ma interpretation is its this lass who is really desperate (not entirely sure what for, sounds like a bit of a slag in some sense) who jon knew and wanted to try and help her out in some way

  52. c.... b....

    Im* goodnight!!:)

  53. c.... b....

    Hahaha so would I!!! K I'm falling asleep right now hahaha I'm gonna go to bed

  54. b.... ....

    my sister asked what band I was listening to and I told her The Fratellis. to which she replied "The evil family from the Goonie's.!?" and I laughed for like 5 years.

    b.... ....

    @JonnyContagious I thought the lead singer's last name was Fratelli? Nvm, just checked, seems like they changed all of their names to Fratelli.

    b.... ....

    Ain't it Italian for brothers?

    b.... ....

    Fun fact, Jon has never seen the Goonies.

    b.... ....

    Are you almost done laughing?

    b.... ....

    Looks like they‘re finally done laughing

  55. b.... b....

    I love this band so much

  56. L.... V....

    Exact same, also 13 and I totally agree :D Stupid pop music...Mon the Fratellis!!!!!

  57. J.... W....

  89. S.... ....

  90. �.... �....

    i like this

  91. j.... w....

    how could you dislike, mannnn?

  92. M.... W....

    Oh my goodness!! How can a song be so addictive?? I've listened to it non-stop about ten times through!

    By the way, I'm really sorry, but I think I may have broken the replay button...

  93. D.... ....

    @matthe07 She was captured for rubbing an bank, but later escapes with drugs. The Sheriffs try to catch her up. The tracks leads to an indian tribe. They get captured themselves and the girl saves em'. they took her to the city to prison her. Afterwards they think they feel sorry for her, letting her free to the wild. :)
    Sorry it took 4 months for anyone to answear.

  94. A.... ....
