Kevin Ayers - Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes lyrics



I walked into this bar
And the man refused;
He said, "we don't serve strangers
In blue suede shoes;
We don't give credit, and
We don't give way--
We have to think about what the people might say..
Uh, you know what i mean..."
I said, "sure, man"

Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet,
And i offered him one of my cigarettes.
He took it, afraid that he might appear rude,
Then proceeded to sell me some second class food.
Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. .

He said, "my oh my, i have suffered too long,
And this cigarette seems to be very strong;
I don't make the rules
I just get what i take
And i guess every rule was made to break.
You can take what you like, it won't hurt me
Cause i'm just working for the company."
From the green cigarette, he took a long drag,
And said, "i think i'll pick my travelling bag.

I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head
And filling the boss's bags with bread.
I want to get out in the sun and rain,
And feel the wind on on skin again;
The world is large, and i've got time yet.
And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..
Thank you very much."

"you know, i feel like a new man
Yes i do, i don't know why;
I'd just like to say
Thank you very much(indeed)
It's a beautiful day
I think i'll be on my way (right away)
I'd just like to say
Thank you very much.
Yes, i'm getting the hell out of here
Yes, i am - bye, bye.
That's the end of the message
Thank you very much.
Bye bye...
