Out Of The Blue

from Out Of The Blue by Chris Conway

about

A new song, and another one about being different and appreciating the differences between us, despite outside pressure to conform. This one took a long time to write and went through many changes. I almost gave up. Then suddenly I made some big changes and it clicked and I love it now.

lyrics

Out Of The Blue
Every day a thousand voices,
Some of them are almost real.
On the screens of my machines,
Asking me how I feel,
Always questions and opinions,
Am I too blind to see?
Why would I want to do that?
What will become of me?

And the say – I shouldn't talk like this,
And they think – I shouldn't think like this,
But I do, yes I do, and I think you do too,
And it came to us out of the blue

Those that say they rule us,
Weave their deceptive dance.
Somehow I'm not included,
In their corporate masterplans.
You ask me what is this blindness,
That only sees what there is to gain?
You ask me the price of kindness.
Well there you go again.

And the say – I shouldn't talk like this,
And they think – I shouldn't think like this,
But you do, yes you do, and you know I do too,
And if came to us out of the blue

I am a cosmonaut, you are an acrobat,
I love the space station, you love the laundromat
Were not the same,
We shouldn't be the same,
And I love the difference
I want to see the difference in you.
The difference in you.
In the things that we do.

Those of us beyond the borderline,
Who live outside the norm,
Who may not love the sunshine,
But prefer a thunderstorm
We have to find our own way,
On a road misunderstood,
But our numbers grow everyday,
Bang goes the neighbourhood.

And the say – I shouldn't talk like this,
And they think – I shouldn't think like this,
And the say - we shouldn't hope like this
And they think - we shouldn't dream like this,
But we do, yes we do, and we know that it's true.
We were born to live out of the blue.
Out of the blue
Sky blue
