Blue Girls (Flux Festival, Queen's Hall, Edinburgh 31.08.1999)
The blue girls that bake in the sun Skin falls in flakes from each one Like leaves from autumn trees They float upon the breeze
These girls you have loved Are slowly decaying Oh, drying out in the sun Before your eyes Wild stares in your face They seem to accuse you Oh, what have you done To earn this prize?
The flesh underneath candy-pink Quite a strange affair you might think They gasp and moan for air Beached fish on your lawn–chair
These girls you have loved Are slowly decaying Oh, drying out in the sun Before your eyes Wild stares in your face They seem to accuse you Oh, what have you done To earn this prize?
Fragments left at the end of the day A pile of blue that is soon swept away Goodbye, blue girls, goodbye Would it be too much to cry?
These girls you have loved Are slowly decaying Oh, drying out in the sun Before your eyes Wild stares in your face They seem to accuse you Oh, what have you done To earn this prize?
