Jack Bruce - Uh, Oh lyrics

She leans against the wall Just half on the bed Half in light Her touch much smarter than the night Uh, oh Up when the night was spent You're writing your blues on her skin Her body tell her tales with scent With its taste with its touch In the movement of her smile Uh, oh All of the hell you've lived Replacing those tales with the blues She won't shed them won't shed your blues No matter how clever she tries She won't wash her changes from her face No matter how many tears she cries Her body's sheer articulation All the textured tales it tells You'll replace them one by one With the basic description of the blues Her style won't go nowhere It still shines right through Forms a map on her flesh But as her dark eyes lead you in Uh, oh Each story you've lived through Is written in blues on her skin All the colours deep in her stories You can read from her face with your hands All the endings swimming in daylight Will soon be replaced with each fingers trace With stories of blues on her skin She won't shed it can't shed the skin No matter how clever she tries She won't wash the blues from her face No matter how many tears she cries All the curves that show in her stories All her tales subtle twists and turns Will be coloured in each cadence With the basic inflection of the blues She leans against the wall Just half on the bed Half in light Her touch much smarter than the night Uh, oh Up when the night is spent You're writing your blues on her skin The intrigue you've learnt from daylight All the words of bile you've heard All the tricks you've gotten away with Soon she won't lose what's clearly tattooed It's written in blues on her skin
