Madness Powder Blue Lyrics

We've listened to so many records
I've smoked so many fags
There's still a bottle of wine in one of them carrier bags
The world is spinning
Slowly outside in Holloway
The birds have started singing
So can't we just stay

On and off the sofa
The candles nearly out
Our pop star friends have all gone home
Or maybe just out and about
And I can feel you dreaming
And I'm dreaming of you
Together slowly drifting Into the powder blue
La la la la la
La la la la la la
Aretha Franklin playing
Ann singing along, quite quietly
She knows the whole song
And all the backing vocals
In a dreamy kind of way
The birds have started singing
So can't we just stay?
Can't we just stay?
The world is giving up
And there's just me and you
Together slowly drifting into the powder blue
Into the powder blue
