Valerie Renay ‘Speed of Blue’
Lyrics by Ian Pickering and music by Valerie Renay
from album ‘Your Own Shadow’, released in 2018
Blue is the warmest colour
Melancholy sunsets
Makes us easy on the eye
True is the strangest feeling
Learning loves these lies
Exempt from beauty
Too eagerly rushed to destruction like a random car crash
So eager to rush for destruction like a random car crash waiting to happen
So eager to rush for destruction like a random car crash
A guilty conscience needs no accused but sleeps like thunder
Blue is the warmest colour
Blue is the warmest colour
A guilty conscience needs no accused but sleeps like thunder
A guilty conscience needs no accused but sleeps like thunder
Red meat to the bones exhumed in jaundiced numbers
Blue is the warmest colour
Friendship a worn out gesture
