"I am a blue blood
I will admit that
I dance in blue shoes and wear a blue hat
Live in a blue house
On a blue street
In a blue town
By a blue creek
I write my blue songs
With my blue pen
I sing the blue notes
To my blue friends
Now I don't that much about you
But I like you
Because you're true blue

I had a blue dream
About a blue star
In it I drove there
In my blue car and when I got there
I met a blue dog
With a blue tongue
We had some real fun
We bounced a blue ball
It broke a blue glass
We banged on blue drums and call it blue grass
I guess the thing I'm trying to tell you
Is that it's best, kid
If you're true blue

Once I had gangrene
I got it real bad
So the doc came with his black bag
I said 'You know, Doc, I dont feel swell,
if you had a blue bag, I think I'd get well..'
So he came right back
With a blue sack
He said 'Will this do?'
I said 'Why not, Yea"
That's why Im here today
To tell you
That it's best, man
To be true blue

Out on the blue sea
I sailed a blue ship
I had a first mate
Always had blue lips
His name was Bluebeard
He had a weird twitch
He flew a blue flag
On a big stick
And we ate blue gill and we ate blue chips
Oh I felt real blue, eating that blue fish
Because there ain't much that I won't do
Unless it keeps me from being true blue

Once in a blue moon
There's a blue sky
I wear my blue jeans and fly my blue kite
Thing's like a bluebird, until the wind dies
And then the tears pour
Out of my blue eyes

If it's your birthday
We'll bake a blue cake
And then we'll eat it off these blue plates
'Cause kid I don't know much about you
But I like you
because you're true blue

Yeah I don't know much about you
But I like you 'cause you're
True!
Blue!"

I saw Bright Eyes last night, (The band not this guy. ) and I must say, screw the naysayers, he put on a good show. I enjoyed it. Of course, being front row helped a little too. I was close enough to get hit by his saliva, not that I'm into that, but some people were. Yes he was a probably under the influence of something, but he managed to get through his set without falling over, and actually he seemed really sincere, and glad to be there. It felt like he gave 100% to each song he did, and he had some really talented musicians backing him up. The keyboardist had to cover the harpist's parts because she got injured before the show. At one point he was playing the trumpet with one hand and the keys with another. The above song was my favorite. It's cool to go to a show and even if you've never heard a song before to be able to understand and appreciate the lyrics, unlike many punk and metal shows. Did I develop a crush on him? Maybe a bit, he is a rather cute guy after all. It was funny though at the end he came to the end of the stage to shake hands, or something, and I got bowled over by four rabid lovestruck girls who just had to touch his greasy hair. I was completely knocked like three feet to the side, and I thought mosh pits were bad. It would be interesting to have that much power. Alas I didn't bring a camera so I have no proof I was there, but I was, and it was a good shoe. $20 well spent.
