Moody Blues, The - Blue World Lyrics
Heart and soul took control
Took control of me
Paid my dues spread the news
Hands across the sea
Put me down turned me round
Marble halls open doors
Someone found the key
And it's only what you do
That keeps coming back on you
And it's only what you say
That can give yourself away
Underground sight and sound
human Symphony
Heard the voice had no choice
Fly me high touch the sky
Left the earth below
Heard the line saw the sign
Knew which way to go
Cos it's easier to try
Than to prove it can't be done
And it's easier to stay
Than to turn around and run
It takes somebody to help somebody
Oh it's a blue world
It's a new world
It needs somebody to love somebody
Oh it's a blue world
Heart and soul took control
Took control of me
Paid my dues spread the news
Hands across the sea
Put me down turned me round
Turned me round to see
Someone found the key
And it's only what you do
That keeps coming back on you
And it's only what you say
That can give yourself away
Cos it's easier to try
Than to prove it can't be done
And it's easier to stay
Than to turn around and run
It's a blue world
It takes somebody to help somebody
Oh it's a blue world
It's a new world
It needs somebody to love somebody
Oh it's a blue world
It's a blue world
It takes somebody to help somebody
Oh it's a blue world
It's a new world
It needs somebody to love somebody
Oh it's a blue world

Moody Blues, The Blue World Comments
Blue World: the new love theme to James Cameron's Avatar! What ya think?
Sometimes I listen to this song and concentrate just on the bass... Other times just the lead guitar.... Ahh.. that lead guitar is so perfect.
Saw them on the long distance voyager concert tour all those years ago... Crazy concert... Not the mellow chilled out crowd I expected...
I never found out the cause but the cops were frisking people again when we were leaving.. Took over an hour and a half to exit the Hartford collisseum. Packed in the hallways like sardines for that time.
Dunno why this album was such a flop at the time--and it came right after Long Distance Voyager (which hit #1)! It's just as good as its predecessor, far as I'm concerned! Maybe it wasn't promoted enough--that's a big factor, normally.
Amazing song
They should release this song and lost in a lost world as a single. They both describe the current state of the world. Just a thought.
With Patrick Moraz on keyboards....
A masterpiece from the start to the end, but the intro is simply amazing
The song that introduced me to the Moodies!
A vastly underrated album. The concept is as strong as all their early album concepts. Superb recording, mixing, and musicianship. This is the album that best utilized Patrick Moraz's gifts. Sounds as good as the first time I heard it.
I went to see them in concert just once but have been a lifelong fan. They were awesome and in my mind amongst the top four groups to see along with Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd and Aussie Pink Floyd tribute.
Best song ever made.......by a country mile!
I was 12 years old in 1983 my two favorite bands then where Moody blues & Alan Parsons project still sound great at 47 years
This song really showcases Justin's voice extremely well imo.
Nice Australian scenes.
"What big ears you have Grandma?'..Better to hear the Moody blues with my dear?"
These guys are awesome! My mom was a huge MB fan (May she RIP) and she hipped me to them and I’m so thankful for that.
someone left notes in this book?????????
TELEPATHY IS MUCH SRONGER? I KNEW THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IS THI ECKANKAR
etherical best word i know
THANK YOU JESUS I LOVE BUDDHA TOO*
This song is such a jam. The harmony is superb.
I really freeeeeked when I got this and put it on*
Have seen The Moody Blues live in concert three-four times in Toronto, and each time I had a blast! I was very saddened upon hearing the sad news of Ray Thomas's passing. Long live the Moodies and their great music!
Ray Thomas died a year ago? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Uma das melhores músicas dos the Moody Blues ❤❤❤
Inesquecível 👏👏👏👏
Great video to compliment song thank you it's a blue world
Some of us just know that JESUS CHRIST ..really did happen??
So pleased these videos are back on YouTube , best advertising ever. Top quality & thanks to all of you .
I drove from orlando florida to new orleans la. I listened to this song over and over non stop. Till I got home. Great Song.
If it looks like a duck?..It's probably a duck?
When that first grade teacher whipped me for Day-dreaming ?..I knew I was in big trouble?
THIS GET"S FIVE STARS
Cuánta belleza, cuánta sensibilidad en este precioso tema que nos hipnotiza con su plena dulzura.
Everytime I hear this tune, I get shivers! Absolutely love it.
Piękny kawałek.
Bo nie ma jak Patrick Moraz
Heart & Soul took control
it's a Blue Word . . .
i was lookin out the window and got my ass tore up

Thanks Ron
SÜPER....
Classic Moodies.
As a Baby Boomer who's decade of music & lyrics were the 60's, I must confess that The Moody Blues saved the 80's with a few songs, none of which were better than Blue World. Long live The Moody Blues.
Next to Sympathy For The Devil (Stones) and Silly Love Songs (McCartney), the best bass line ever.
This beautiful song reveals, or "blows the whistle" on the guy who did find the key and holds it in heart.. Follow him to The Jubilee. A seventh dimension site introduces All God's children to the next level paradigm for humanity, yes, a cosmic paradigm. Follow the piper. Amen. Peace and love. "P"
great song, I think this should have charted higher than "Sitting At The Wheel", I thought this was the superior song to "Sitting"
I agree Doob', BUT, chart placings rarely equate to quality. The BBC Poll to see the 'Greatest UK Crime' of 'Held @ No.2 Spot', given to "Vienna", by "Ultravox", 1981 (beaten by 'Shaddup You Face' - Joe Dolce).
Oceanic wide talent & chasm between them, that's injustice, right there....
(Listen to both, for proof)
I love this video! The pictures are wonderful and the lyrics are perfect! As for the song.... It's amazing of course! =) Awesome job!
Thank you, great music, great video.......
great vid thanks
Great video, brings back a lot of memories. Mercie
Thank you for an excellent video with the lyrics. Always been a Moody Blues fan since they came out. Heard this while walking and it was at the perfect time.
Kath, like you, I heard this involuntarily, whilst I was painting the bedroom wall in my 'newly-married' masionette - I stopped painting, as it just blew me away with it's haunting & enchanted melody & restraint. It is still to this day, one of the greatest tracks I've EVER heard.... & that over the course of half-a-century of listening to ALL 'the greats' of modern music.
(I was raised on Mott, Bad Co. plus various Prog' & Metal bands).
Gotta say "Thanks to Radio Caroline for playing it, that day in '83"
(otherwise, I may never have heard of it !!!!!!!!)
The song is one of the best, ever, from any decade in contemporary popular music. The presentation is equally as enjoyable which makes this a VID to bookmark! Thank you for your time & effort .........................
Still another great song by the Moodys.
@MissAstorDancer Thank you...have a great day!
Thank you.
Thank you!
@MoodyJill Thanks.
