XTC - Blue Beret lyrics
A demo intended for 'Oranges & Lemons'. Don't ask me what
 the lyrics mean, each line exists purely as a comment on the
 previous one. 'Me I like to roam / wasn't built in a day'
 etc.''
 Life is sometimes shorter than you think
 So take yourself a hike from the kitchen sink
 Me, I like to roam
 Wasn't built in a day
 And night throws the stars in our way
 Meanwhile on Planet Earth
 Some people are dying for the right to say
 Some people are dying 'cause the other people busy blowing them away
 Well, we're all dying so we better have a ton of fun along the way
 I say hats off, get your hats off, take your hats off, get your hats off
 For the blue beret
 Blue beret, blue beret
 The wind has blown it off his head
 And sent it spinning straight to nowhere
 Nowhere to get ahead in this lifeXTC - Blue Beret - http://motolyrics.com/xtc/blue-beret-lyrics.html
 Life is sometimes longer than you need
 Especially if it's thrown away on hate and greed
 Well, me I like to think while the other fish swim
 But sharks made a meal out of him
 Meanwhile on bone dry land
 Some people are dying for the right to say
 Some people just want the right to say
 Some people are dying 'cause the other people busy blowing them away
 Some people are merely blown away
 Well, we're all dying so we better have a ton of fun along the way
 I say hats off, take your hats off, get your hats off, take your hats off
 To the blue beret
 Blue beret, blue beret
 The wind has blown it off his head
 And sent it spinning straight to nowhere
 Nowhere to get ahead in this life
 So just love your dog and don't kick your wife
 Put down that knife, watch out the windows,
 And blow your hat away
