(Jarvis Cocker)
Verse :
[F#]The blue girls that bake in the [C#]sun
[F#]Skin falls in flakes from each o[C#]ne
[F#]Like leaves from autumn [C#]trees
[F#]They float upon the [C#]breeze
Chorus :
[Bbm]These girls you have l[C#]oved
[Bbm]Are slowly [C#]decaying, ah
[Bbm]Drying out in the [C#]sun
[F#]Before your [G#]eyes
[Bbm]Wild stares in your [C#]face
[Bbm]They seem t[C#]o accuse you
[Bbm]Oh, what have you [C#]done
[F#]To earn their s[G#]urprise?
The flesh underneath candy pink
Quite a strange affair one might think
They gasp and moan for air
Beached fish on your lawn-chair
These girls you have loved
Are slowly decaying, ah
Drying out in the sun
Before your eyes
Wild stares in your face
They seem to accuse you
Oh, what have you done
To earn their surprise?
Fragments left at the end of the day
A pile of blue that is soon swept away
Goodbye, blue girls, goodbye
Would it be too much to cry?
These girls you have loved
Are slowly decaying, ah
Drying out in the sun
Before your eyes
Wild stares in your face
They seem to accuse you
Oh, what have you done
To earn their surprise?
