Brilliant Blues - Pete Townshend

Say goodbye to the brilliant blues

Say goodbye to the brilliant blues

Say goodbye

It’s time to live

So make me, take me

It’s time, to give

So don’t betray me, pay me

The brilliant blues

Don’t want to be frozen

I spend my mornings at the sunshine cafe

I’ve read the news and the clique-ridden notions

I know that now is the time to stay

It’s time (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

To teach (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

So tell me (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

Come on and tell me (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

It’s time (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

To preach (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

So help me (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

Come on and help me (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

The brilliant blues

Will never flow this way again

The colour of the Mersey is grey

The brilliant blues

Have faded into sadness and pain

And now is the time to say it’s time

You and me are going to finally sail away

(We'll get far away from the blues and the mist in the rain)

You and me are going to fight until we win the day

(For now is the time that we must say goodbye to)

The brilliant blues

I don’t want to be frozen

I spend my mornings at the sunshine cafe

I’ve read the news and the clique-ridden notions

I know that now is the time to stay

It’s time (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

To trust (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

So buy me (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

Come on and try me (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

It’s time (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

To thrust (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

So guide me (Say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

Stay beside me (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)

The brilliant blues

Will never flow this way again

The colour of the Mersey is grey

The brilliant blues

Have faded into sadness and pain

And now is the time to say it’s time
