Flashing Blue Light

from Blues, Ballads & Barnstormers by Pistol Pete Wearn

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    We all need to cut down on our plastic use, so the CD version of the album comes in an eco-friendly card sleeve printed with a retro design.

    Smaller, lighter and better for the environment than a traditional jewel case. What's not to like? We've ditched the shrink-wrap too.

lyrics

Now listen up people, come gather around friends
This is my story and here it ends
There's been days of trauma & days of delight
But it finishes here with a flashing blue light

There's a puddle of blood & on the pavement I'm sprawled
And the ambulance man says "do you know what he's called?"
And those chest paddles they spark and they bite
On that cold hard ground by that flashing blue light

Well I'm renting a room, it's as cheap as they get
And nobody here has even talked to me yet
There's stains on the carpet and cash by the night
So I slip away nameless by this flashing blue light

They closed up the street and everyone moaned
An extra twenty-five minutes to make their way home
And how dare I be so impolite
As to pass away there by that flashing blue light
