Kevin Ayers - Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes Lyrics
I walked into this barAnd the man refused;He said, we dont serve strangersIn blue suede shoes;We dont give credit, andWe dont give way--We have to think about what the people might say..Uh, you know what I mean...I said, sure, manOh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet,And I offered him one of my cigarettes.He took it, afraid that he might appear rude,Then proceeded to sell me some second class food.Nice guy - meet em everywhere.. .He said, my oh my, I have suffered too long,And this cigarette seems to be very strong;I dont make the rulesI just get what I takeAnd I guess every rule was made to break.You can take what you like, it wont hurt meCause Im just working for the company.From the green cigarette, he took a long drag,And said, I think Ill pick my travelling bag.Im tired of cheating, and wasting my headAnd filling the bosss bags with bread.I want to get out in the sun and rain,And feel the wind on on skin again;The world is large, and Ive got time yet.And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..Thank you very much.You know, I feel like a new manYes I do, I dont know why;Id just like to sayThank you very much(indeed)Its a beautiful dayI think Ill be on my way (right away)Id just like to sayThank you very much.Yes, Im getting the hell out of hereYes, I am - bye, bye.Thats the end of the messageThank you very much.Bye bye...
