The Same Old Blues
Echoes of Heartbreak: Bryan Ferry's Same Old Blues Unveiled
Lyrics
Have you heard that rumor that's going around?
Addressing a circulating rumor or gossip.
You got it made, way across town
Referencing someone else's success or good fortune.
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?
Expressing frustration with repetitive life situations.
Yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
Confirming awareness of the recurring theme of blues or sadness.
When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
Suggesting a misinterpretation of a written message.
I stood at your doorway but you was gone
Indicating an attempt to connect but finding an empty space.
I took a lot of time and let the telephone ring
Describing an invested effort through time and communication.
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
Reiterating the theme of encountering the same blues repeatedly.
When you give me the business, well did in your mind
Questioning the intentions or thoughts behind someone's actions.
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I got a lot of time
Asserting patience and availability despite challenges.
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?
Reflecting on the cyclic nature of a familiar narrative.
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
Confirming the return of the recurring blues.
I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
Expressing a desire to retreat and find solace.
I ain't talking to you and I ain't yet coming out
Declaring a decision to avoid communication and confrontation.
'Cause I heart that rumor, tell me where does it end?
Returning to the theme of rumors and their impact.
Yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
Acknowledging the repetition of the same blues-inducing news.
