Move Away Jimmy Blue

Move Away Jimmy Blue - Del Amitri

A struck match faded like a nervous laugh

Beyond the halo of a naked bulb

And your low voice mingles

With your other half's

Schoolfriends in second-hand clothes

Eventually your world

Will shrink within four walls

Of neglected debts and stolen stereos

So move away Jimmy Blue

Before your small

Small town turns around and swallows you

A drunk mother was the cue

For the legendary things that you do

Behind the carnival tent with mud on your face

Behind the old glue factory too

So move away Jimmy Blue

Before your small

Small town turns around and swallows you

And swallows you

Wet feet visit the same old places

You're finding nothing new

It's a bin full of tissues from made-up faces

In a town full of nothing to do

A love match with the moon

In a layby while insects hum and

You got put in the darkness of a woman's womb

Jimmy Blue Jimmy Blue

So move away

Turn around and move away

Yeah move away Jimmy Blue

Before your small

Small town turns around and swallows you
