Out Of The Blue

Album: Country Life (1974)
  • All you cares
    Now they seem
    Oh so far away
    All your fears
    I fear I once shared
    Now I know

    There's a future
    For all of us
    Not so long ago
    I was so scared
    You seemed so sad
    I could see

    Through your twisted smile
    So unsure
    Always confused
    Pale blue eyes
    Gazing down
    From your ivory tower
    Through the haze

    All broken and bruised
    Then: out of the blue
    Love came rushing in
    Out of the sky
    Came the sun
    Out of left field
    Came a lucky day
    Out of the blue
    No more pain
    I don't mind
    If it's only
    A passing craze
    Throwaway lines
    Often ring true
    If I were you

    I would stay
    For a little while
    I you were me
    Would you walk out
    In style? Writer/s: BRYAN FERRY, PHIL MANZANERA

  • Sam from NorfolkWhere is the "broken ampoules" line?
  • Rob Bull from Berkshire, EnglandThank you for explaining the tape phasing. I have this on 1974 vinyl - Roxy Music Greatest Hits which lime Country Life also has the preceding single "All I want is you" fading into it. I absolutely love this track and the violin and oboe playing gives amazing contributions to the sounds. There is a live play video of this song on You Tube from 1975 - you can see Andy Mackay (oboe) and Edwin Jobson (violin), both are superb musicians.
  • Jim from Long Beach, CaI was about 10 when Country Life came out. I bought it in Signal Hill(Long Beach,Cal) from the money I earned from being an alter boy at a wedding. I loved the cover that was the end of my innocence..LOL!!
  • Zabadak from London, EnglandThe preceding track - the single "All I Want Is You" - fades into this one on the LP.
