"I'll Be Blue"
SUBJECT:
LYRICS:
you stared a while then said to me / give me a smile and aren't you having fun?
/ stood in my path down in the street / i wouldn't laugh and you looked so stunned
/ i think you had no clue / i will be blue / like a hermit in its shell / like
jesus christ on the hill / i'll be blue / i'll be blue / we had a drink i sang
some songs / you had to think i didn't know my place at all / please pardon
me for these my wrongs / and i will leave but i won't put your party face on
/ i'll be blue / i'll be blue / i'll be blue / like the reign of mastodon /
like the alleys of old lyon / i'll be blue / i'll be blue
HISTORY:
Circa July '99, Frank made an early version of "I'll Be Blue" available
as a free mp3 download via his record label's website (in conjunction with emusic.com).
That version was more of a straight ahead rocker compared to the version he
did later for DITS: not quite as slow, and no keyboard. Not bad, but
I think virtually ever fan prefers the latter recording.

That early version I just mentioned may still be available through one of these
