Here's a live recording; lyrics further down...



It's a blue, bright blue Saturday, hey hey
And the pain has started to slip away, hey hey

I'm in a backless dress on a pastel ward, it's shining
Think I want you still, but it may be pills at work

Do you really wanna know how I was dancing on the floor?
I was trying to phone you when I'm crawling out that door
I'm amazed at you, the things you say that you don't do
Why don't you ring?

I was feeling lonely, feeling blue
Feeling like I needed you
Like I'd woken up surrounded by me
A&E

It's a blue, bright blue Saturday, hey hey
And the pain has started to slip away, hey hey

I'm in a backless dress on a pastel ward, 'The Shining'
Think I want you still, but it may be pills at work

How did I get to accident emergency?
All I wanted was you to take me out
I was feeling lonely, feeling blue
Feeling like I needed you
Like I hoped you'd call, I hoped you'd see me
A&E
