Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes - 1999 Remaster
I walked in this bar and the man refused
He said "We don't serve strangers in blue suede shoes;
We don't give credit, and we don't give way,
We have to think about what the people might say,
Uh, you know what I mean..."
I said "Sure, man"
Oh 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 don't make the rules,
I just get what I take,
And I guess every rule was made to break.
You can take what you like, It won't hurt me,
Cos' I'm just working for the company"
From the green cigarette, he took a long drag.
And I said "I think I'll pack my Travlling bag"
"I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head,
And filling the bosses bags with bread.
I want to get out in the sun and rain,
And feel the wind on my skin again,
The world is large, and I've got time yet.
And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette...
Thank you very much"
(yeah, you know, I feel like a new man,
yes I do,
I don't know why,
I'd just like to say,
thank you, very much... indeed,
It's a beautiful day,
I think I'll be on my way,
right away,
I'd like to say, thank you, very much.
Yes, I'll get the hell out of here!
Yes I am
Bye-bye, that's the end of the message,
Thank you, very, much.
bye-bye, yes, bye-bye,
bye,
ba-bye!)
