lyrics

(Here boy).

I was happy with my boy
where all others would annoy
He'd just be there for me
listening, cuddling, kissing by the factory

But I turned my gaze away
and he went missing in the grey
(Did he go to work?)
Of course not,
he's never done a day's work in his life.

Now the rumours they abound,
there was chaos all around
and my boy's been seen in every case,
in every ruined garden
As far as the Dardanelles
My search wasn't going very well.

While the people in the town
were looking up or looking down,
I was only out looking for Blue.

While the people staying home
were looking up things on their phones,
I was only out looking for Blue.
(Who?)
Blue
You're never gonna see another boy so handsome
Where he goes, it goes wrong
I wish I kept my eyes on him.

So I heard he was in Rome
messing up its holy zone
But I when I got there, every cardinal was pointing out to sea

Then I heard he was in Crete
(Depriving Minotaurs of sleep)
Now my boy's been seen in every place
in every ruined garden
as far as the Dardanelles
My search wasn't going very well.

While the people in the town
were looking up or looking down,
I was only out looking for Blue.

While the people staying home
were looking up things on their phones,
I was only out looking for Blue.
(Who?)
Blue
You're never gonna see another boy so handsome
Where he goes, it goes wrong
I wish I kept my eyes on him.

(Here Boy).

So he ran across a street
made the driver slam his feet
and swerve into the UN building during vital peace talks
(The Russian ambassador)
wasn't driving anymore.

So it's nuclear war
a billion bodies, maybe more
Now we're all just out looking for Blue.

He's made himself at home
In a bunker chewing bones
While we're all just out looking for Blue
(Who?)
Blue
You're never gonna see another boy so handsome
Now it's all gone horribly wrong
I wish I left his lead on.

The people everywhere
(Out looking for Blue)
The people everywhere
(Out looking for Blue)
(Who?)
Blue
You're never gonna see another boy so handsome
Where he goes, it goes wrong (horribly wrong)
I wish I left his lead on.
(Here boy).
