Blue
Strange colour blue
Sixteen tons on the moon
Blue
Strange colour blue
Coming back to you
Pushing through
Pouring rain
Nearly there
Nearly there
Oh, blue

Blue
Strange colour blue
Sixteen tons on the moon
Hey little mister driver man
Keep your head up
We are nearly there
I am racing
Outside and below myself
Nearly forgot myself there
Nearly there, yeah
Oh, everybody's sleeping now
An industrial silence singing
And the rain will keep hammering down from overhead
Now there's a blue, blue, strange colour blue
Let me dream of me and you
Oh, how the rain keeps coming down
Pour, oh, running down the window
Like a vein on my arm
Oh, running down the window
Like a vein on my arm, yeah

This is how we do it
This is how we do it
This is how we do it
Nearly there
This is how we do it
This is how we do it
This is how we do it
Nearly there
Oh, blue

Strange colour, a colour blue
Yeah, a colour blue
Oh, blue blue blue yeah
Strange colour, a colour blue
Yeah, a colour blue
Oh, blue blue blue, yeah
Strange colour, a colour blue
Oh, a colour blue
Hey little mister driver man
Keep your head up
We are nearly there
Nearly there

EXCELLENT!  Thanx RP!   
this was played last in 2004? wtf?
just love this song!!!!
If you like this band, you might like Crime and the City Solution, or solo work by lead singer Simon Bonney.
Good stuff, Mainard!
Drivel. No wait, it's not drivel, it's crap. Brown, strange color brown, the color of this stupid high-school poetry.
liking this...
This reminds me of the BoDeans for some reason. Must be the guitar.

oh man, i've seen jonathan richman a million times, and this doesn't remind me a thing of that. i hear the doors and maybe some nick cave in this, though.

Yow. Don't post the lyrics if they don't support your argument.

I'd have to agree fully with AC on this one. (Except it sounds more like a Gretch, or maybe an old Harmony with a tremolo bar. ;) )

No good.
Sounds like Morphine to me, without the cool sax-bass interplay.
an inferior imitation of The Doors.
