The Blues Are Still Blue Belle and Sebastian

[Verse 1]
Well, look at the kid from school
He's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool
He's changing fashion, the way he dress
The tracksuits are old, and the hoody's way too moody
For the kid with the will to funk
He dances in secret; he's a part-time punk

[Verse 2]
Now she's getting off the plane
She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged
The kids fighting up the lane
Shoplifting, just drifting
Like The Switchblade And The Cross
But if there's trouble, she's got the moves
She's taking an elementary class in kung fu

[Chorus]
I left my washing in the launderette
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
That when I see my washing
The black will be grey and the white will be grey
But the blues are still blue

[Verse 3]
I'm crying out for my mum
If the malady don't go away we're in a little trouble
With the boss of the company
I'm a singer, a swinger
I'm a layabout but laying on
The dock in the lazy sun
Will never quite relegate me to a bum
