Mighty Wah – Story Of The Blues lyrics

Here in my pocket I got the story of the blues,
try to believe me cos' it could be front page news,
I say I live with it like it hasn't happened yet
I keep thinking of everyone I know I'm the one they're trying to get
To tell...
(Story of the Blues)
First they take your pride,
then turn it on its side,
and then you realise you've got nothing left to lose.
So you try to stop,
try to get back up,
and then you realise you're telling the Story of the Blues.
Feeling browbeaten day after day,
I think It's over but I just can't get away.
You say forget it,
well don't go jump to the gun,
you're laughing this time next time you might be the one
To tell...
(the story of the blues)
First they take your pride,
then turn It on its side
and then you realise you got nothing left to lose.
So you try to stop,
try to get back up
and then you realise you're telling the Story of the Blues.
Repeat chorus...
What they say about me when they tell
the Story of the Blues.
