Fly Boy Blue - Lunette
Elbow
Words and chords from previous versions; bridges by blb14cp
Gm
It's a lethal ballet
Air traffic congestion
I'm having a baby
Second thoughts, scotch, dinner
Dm
And someone's dancing on the box
A former MP
And no one's watching
Eb
My oldest friends are a serious habit
D7
Fly boy blue, so bring your faces home,
To my sweet trampoline
Gm
And acres of crash site love

Presidential delays
Suppose I’m just lucky
l'm having a shin dig
Me, Red Bob and The Ivory Host
And someone’s shouting on the box
A chinless prefect gone Godzilla
My newest friends have forgotten my name
But so have I so far so good and home
You and me trampoline
And oceans of crash site love
Bridge 2
(play twice)
Cadd9 - G - Em - D
ooooooooh Lalalala Lalalala
Cadd9
What can be said of the cigarette smokes?
G
A prop for a joke or a mark on the clock
Em
If I stopped would the bus ever come
D
Would the dawn ever kiss me, forgiven me, knowing what's done?
Cadd9
Would the drivel make scribble make sense and then song?
G
Would the woodbines denied like the northern man's thumbs?
Em
Perverse as it may sound I sometimes believe
D
The tip to my lips just reminds me to breathe
What can be said of the whiskey and wine
Random abandon or ballast for joy
That was scuppered with trust
Little more than a boy
And besides I’m in excellent company
I’m reaching the age when decisions are made on the life and the liver
And I'm sure, last ditch that I'll ask for more time
But Mother forgive me
I still want a bottle of good Irish whiskey
And a bundle of smokes in my grave
But there isn’t words yet for the comfort I get
From the gentle lunette at the top of the nape of the neck of the neck that I wake to
And where are the words for the leap in my chest
When mischief appears either side of the scar on your nose
Made by a rose thorn
So you claim
By a rose thorn
