Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes - Kevin Ayers



I walked into this bar

And the man refused;

He said, "we don't serve strangers

In blue suede shoes;

We don't give credit, and

We don't give way--

We have to think about what the people might say..

Uh, you know what i mean..."

I said, "sure, man"



Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet,

And i offered him one of my cigarettes.

He took it, afraid that he might appear rude,

Then proceeded to sell me some second class food.

Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. .



He said, "my oh my, i have suffered too long,

And this cigarette seems to be very strong;

I don't make the rules

I just get what i take

And i guess every rule was made to break.

You can take what you like, it won't hurt me

Cause i'm just working for the company."

From the green cigarette, he took a long drag,

And said, "i think i'll pick my travelling bag.



I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head

And filling the boss's bags with bread.

I want to get out in the sun and rain,

And feel the wind on on skin again;

The world is large, and i've got time yet.

And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..

Thank you very much."



"you know, i feel like a new man

Yes i do, i don't know why;

I'd just like to say

Thank you very much(indeed)

It's a beautiful day

I think i'll be on my way (right away)

I'd just like to say

Thank you very much.

Yes, i'm getting the hell out of here

Yes, i am - bye, bye.

That's the end of the message

Thank you very much.

Bye bye...
