The 77s
Perfect Blues (Live at Christ Church, 11/5/97)
[Verse 1]
Why don't you get up?
Get up next to me
Why don't you get up?
Well, a-get up next to me
Well, you get up close enough to me, baby
You won't like what you see

[Verse 2]
Why don't you hang around
Hang around me
Come on, hang out, honey
Hang it out with me
Well, sooner or later, you'll get sick of me, baby
Sick of me, I guarantee

[Verse 3]
I fill up with gas
Lights might glow
Wind me up, but I'll never, ever go
No, no, no
I only got one gear and that's reverse, baby
I'm in the fast lane moving slow, slow
Oh, yeah

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
You can break me, you can shake me
But you won't change me, that I know
You can break it, break it, break it, and shake it
You won't change me, that I know
I'm only one bad apple, I've spoiled a whole bunch
I'm rotten, rotten, rotten, rotten, rotten to the core, core, core, core, core, core, core, core
Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Oh, looking, baby
Ain't gonna find what you're looking for
Keep on looking, looking, looking, looking
Ain't gonna find what you're looking for
Some kinda perfect man that you can worship, child
He ain't on this earth no more, no more, no more, nope, nope

[Verse 6]
Aw, give it up
Forget it, babe, it won't work now
Oh, give it up, give it up, up, up
Forget it, baby, it won't work
You're looking for a perfect boy or girl? Well
Forget it b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-baby, we're all jerks
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
