Aztec Camera - Debutante lyrics

Words and music by Roddy Frame

I've seen it before

So sad and unsure

Trying to make it happen

To four on the floor

But what do you do

With someone like you

Debutantes shiver in lace

And pray for disgrace

Crossing the tracks

Then hurrying back

Suitably late

You learn what to do

Just wrap it in blue

Tie it up and take it home

I wanna hear the sound

Of the tears you're crying

I wanna be around

When your tears are drying

Wanna say the things

That I know I ought to

But never said before

'Cos I thought you knew

Are you all in blue

For a reason

Believing what you're feeling is true

Or is it just a shade this season

Baby blue.

Swans splash on silvery lakes

But the ice never breaks

Watching the conversation crawl

Reassuringly fake

I'm spinning in space

And feeling this place

Moulding you with money and time

Holding you although you are mine

I wanna hear the sound

Of the tears you're crying

I wanna be around

When your tears are drying

Wanna say the things

That I know I ought to

But never said before

'Cos I thought you knew

Are you all in blue

For a reason

Believing what you're feeling is true

Or is it just a shade this season

Baby blue.

Pretty girl don't wait for me

You'll see his sunshine

Sometime come shining
