"Blacker Than Black" lyrics - GOODBYE MR. MACKENZIE

GOODBYE MR. MACKENZIE
"Blacker Than Black"
(Derek Kelly / Martin Metcalfe)

Death is a pony that's waiting for me
His name is Luigi, he's tied to the black tree
I will decide when that day is gonna be
No bureaucrats are making these decisions for me

Pleasing, displeasing, there is only one way
There is the bomb and there is a baby

Pleasing, displeasing, you fight for your lifestyle
Return from the war, don't relate to your own child

You know the way I feel
It's blacker than black
It's no big deal
I fought my war now, blacker than black

For my home, I fought for my ties
Now all that is coming about your eyes
Fought for my living, I fought for my station
Gambled my life on irksome affection

Hey, not that anyone should mind
Hey, not that anyone will cry
Hey, I love somebody but I let that go by
Hey, honey don't you cry

You know the way I feel
It's blacker than black
It's no big deal
The way I feel is blacker than black

Show me the easy way
So I can fly from here
Show me the easy way
I can get far from here
If you show me the easy way

You know the way I feel
It's blacker than black
If you can't go forwards
Then you must go back
