Paloma Faith Black & Blue lyrics

I know a man who fills his emptiness with strangers
I know a girl who drinks herself to sleep at night; you can't change her
I know people who use chat rooms as confessionals
I know down and outs who once were, once they were professionals

Wipe it off your sleeve
your superiority
Don't roll your eyes my sweet

I know a single mother who loses her mind on weekends
she plays with lady luck on scratch cards with money left to her by old friends
I know people who take midnight drives for head space
I know what they'd give to just one loving embrace

Wipe it off your sleeve
your superiority
Don't roll your eyes my sweet

We're just the same we all get desperate sometimes
feeling black and blue
I know you find it hard to accept it sometimes
we all feel black and we feel blue

Wipe it off your sleeve

your superiority
Don't roll your eyes my sweet

I know a rich man who has everything you could wish for but children
I know an old lady who talks a lot but could teach you if you listen
I know people who believe in gods and demons
I know mums who think there's nothing there at all

Wipe it off your sleeve
your superiority
Don't roll your eyes my sweet

We're just the same we all get desperate sometimes
feeling black and blue
I know you find it hard to accept it sometimes
we all feel black and we feel blue

Wipe it off your sleeve
your superiority
Don't roll your eyes my sweet
