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
