The Sound of the Crowd

Song Styles

So wipe away the tears

No more pain, no fear

No sorrow or dying

No waiting or crying

These former things have passed away

Another life begins today

–Pet Shop Boys, “Your Funny Uncle”

You ain’t been blue; no, no, no.

You ain’t been blue,

Till you’ve had that mood indigo.

That feelin’ goes stealin’ down to my shoes

While I sit and sigh, “Go ‘long blues”.

–Eaton/Mills/Bigard, “Mood Indigo,” I’m thinking of the Joe Jackson Summer In The City version.
