Old Red Eyes Is Back

The Beautiful South - Old Red Eyes Is Back [Verse 1] Old Red eyes is back Red from the night before the night before Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door [Verse 2] Old Red’s in town And sitting late at night he doesn’t make a sound Just adding to the wrinkles on his deadly frown [Chorus] They’re only red from all the tears that I should’ve shed They’re only red from all the women that I could’ve wed So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue    [Verse 3] Listen up Old Red You never listened to a word the doctor said He told you if you drank another you’d be dead [Verse 4] Old Red eyes is back His shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw [Chorus] They’re only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head They’re only red from all the things I could have done instead So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue    [Bridge] Blue is a street without an end Red is the colour of my hell Blue is a greeting from a friend Red is the color of farewell [Chorus] Old Red he died And every single landlord in the district cried An empty bottle of whisky laying by his side A lazy little tear running from each eye They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue
