Stranger in blue suede shoes lyrics

Artist  : Kevin ayers 
Song : Stranger in blue suede shoes
 

I walked into this bar
and the man refused;
He said, "We don`t serve strangers
in blue suede shoes; 
We don`t give credit, and
We don`t give way--
We have to think about what the people might
say..
uh, you know what I mean..."
I said, "Sure, man"

Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet, 
And I offered him one of my cigarettes.
He took it, afraid that he might appear rude,
Then proceeded to sell me some second class food.
Nice guy - meet `em everywhere.. .

He said, "My oh my, I have suffered too
long, 
And this cigarette seems to be very strong; 
I don`t make the rules 
I just get what I take
And I guess every rule was made to break. 
You can take what you like, it won`t hurt me
Cause I`m just working for the company."
From the green cigarette, He took a long drag, 
And said, "I think I`ll pick my travelling
bag.

I`m tired of cheating, and wasting my head 
And filling the boss`s bags with bread. 
I want to get out in the sun and rain, 
And feel the wind on on skin again;
The world is large, and I`ve got time yet. 
And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..
Thank you very much."

"You know, I feel like a new man
Yes I do, I don`t know why;
I`d just like to say
Thank you very much(indeed)
It`s a beautiful day
I think I`ll be on my way (right away)
I`d just like to say
Thank you very much.
Yes, I`m getting the hell out of here
Yes, I am - bye, bye.
That`s the end of the message
Thank you very much.
Bye bye...
