lyrics

BLOND AND BLUE
Well you know how the last seven years
Haven't been all that easy
Sometimes I'd feel so weak
Cause I can't seem to speak when I'm angry

All those things that they say
hen they stand in your way
Just seemed to eat me up deep down inside
Well they force you to crawl - and when you make it
Then they all want to own you

Blond and Blue
You fight like a tiger
You're blond and blue
You'd better come home

All that smiling and lies
All that long swallowed pride
Used to make me choke up
All those high-flying friends
Keeping up with the trends
That couldn't wait to get the blade in

For your own peace of mind
Try and give me some sign
And show me you still want me
After so many years can you take it
Now it's here for the asking?

Blond and Blue
You fight like a tiger
You're blond and blue
You'd better come home

So for both of our sakes
Won't you give me a break
So I can prove that I won't use you
When you're so terrified
I can't stand to stand by yet again

You're blond and blue
You fight like a tiger
Blond and Blue
You'd better come home
