Written by noel coward<br>Available on the uk album 20th century blues - the songs of noel coward<br><br>Twentieth century blues are getting me down<br>Blues, escape those dreary twentieth century blues<br>Why, if there's a God in the sky, why shouldn't he grin<br>High above this dreary twentieth century din<br><br>In this strange illusion, chaos and confusion<br>People seem to lose their way<br>What is there to strive for, love or keep alive for<br>Say, hey hey, call it a day<br><br>Blues, nothing to win or to lose, it's getting me down<br>Blues, escape those weary twentieth century blues<br><br>Why is it that civilized humanity can make this world so wrong<br>In this hurly-burly of insanity, our dreams cannot last long<br>We've reached a deadline, a press headline, every sorrow<br>Blues value is news value tomorrow
