Queen of the Blues
But who could have walked a mile in your shoes?
And paved the path you did
Even though it cost you so much in the end
Censorship and raids
I wonder what you'd think of how things have changed today
Not just a sinner, not exactly a saint
But driven by love and ruined by hate
And when you fell you fell so hard
No-one was there to catch your fall
Queen of the Blues
So many wanted to step into your shoes
You took more than you needed
Trying to fill the void and shut out the pain inside
Now you sleep at Walton-on-the-Hill
I hope you're at peace
Now you sleep at Walton-on-the-Hill
A Mary Magdalene for the 70's

A band of colour
Unlike any other
Shines from a squalid place
From a puddle in a road
To a slick in the sea
The light reflects differently
Depending on where you stand
And what your mind can see
It’s not the same for you and me
The oil in the water
Will succumb to nature’s order
And sunlight will make it clear again
From a puddle in a road
To a slick in the sea
The light reflects differently
Depending on where you stand
And what your mind perceives
It’s not the same for you and me
From a puddle in a road
To a slick in the sea
The light reflects differently
How does it look to you?
I’ll tell you how it looks to me
But nothing is ever what it seems
I’ve seen these colours in my dreams
