lyrics

“Secret Shades of Blue”

Jimmy’s got a lame brain dame, lazy-boy nights, he’s television maimed..
He ain’t quite sure just what he should do…
Bobby’s just a back street baby, what you might call a working lady..
And at night, you know she might turn a trick or two..
But the thing that they’ve both got, is secret shades of blue…

Black Moses is a hard working farm hand, thirteen kids, working for the white man..
No way out, and the day is never through..
Little Mary Jo, you know she had it all y’all, a rich ole daddy and the debutante ball..
But she got knocked up in a late night rendezvous..
Well, the thing that they’ve both got, are secret shades of blue…
I’ve got a secret… you’ve got a secret too..

Henrietta was a happy little housewife, all she ever wanted was a happy little homelife..
But her old man, you know he beat her black and blue…
GI Joey went to fight and save nation, all he brought back was an amputation..
One of the proud and the brave, too many..too many were the few…
And the thing that they’ve both got..is secret shades of blue…
I’ve got a secret… you’ve got a secret too..

Coal miner Jack’s got a life like a folk song, he got black lung and won’t live long..
It’s just the industrial point of view…
City slick Rick’s gotta pocket full of cocaine, a limp dick and a wallet full of names…
Wonder who he’s got on his menu..
But the thing that they’ve both got, is secret shades of blue…

Everybody’s get a corpse in the closet, a shadow in the dark,
Or the heart of a misfit..
But one thing’s for sure about me and you..
The thing that we’ve all got are Secret Shades of Blue…

I’ve got a secret.. you’ve got a secret too. .got a secret. .you’ve got a secret too…
A secret shade of blue…..

about

Charles "Chaz" Laughon aka Chaze Lounge Wilmington

I've posted some barely adequate recordings here, many bad writer's renditions, of a few songs I've written in my life. Most of my songs never recorded, likely never will be. No matter, just mutterings to myself. I'm a lyricist who believes that language is a dog chasing it's tail. Didn't immerse into human life as I probably should've, or perhaps I immersed too much. The dark births the light. ... more
