Move Away Jimmy Blue Lyrics

A struck match faded like a nervous laugh 
Beyond the halo of a naked bulb 
Your low voice mingles with your other half's; 
Schoolfriends in second-hand clothes 
Eventually your world will shrink within four walls 
Of neglected debts and stolen stereos. 

So move away Jimmy Blue 
Before your small, small town turns around 
and swallows you 

A drunk mother was the cue 
For the legendary things that you do 
Behind a carnival tent with mud on your face 
Behind the old glue factory too. 

So move away Jimmy Blue 
Before your small, small town turns around 
and swallows you 

Wet feet visit the same old places 
Finding nothing new 
It's a binful of tissues from made-up faces 
In a townful of nothing to do 
A love match with the moon 
In a layby, while insects hum and 
You got put in the darkness of a woman's womb 
Jimmy Blue. 

So move away, yeh, 
Move away Jimmy Blue 
Before your small, small town 
Turns around and swallows you.
