Almost Blue

Everything But The Girl

From the album Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, 1986

(originally by Elvis Costello & The Attractions)

Almost blue

Almost doing things we used to do

There's a girl here and she's almost you

Almost all the things that your eyes once promised

I see in hers too

Now your eyes are red from crying

Almost blue

Flirting with this disaster became me

It named me as the fool who only aimed to be

Almost blue

It's almost touching it will almost do

There's a part of me that's always true...always

Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few

I've seen such an unhappy couple

Almost me

Almost you

Almost blue

Le Samourai (1967)

Come On Home

Take Me
