Elvis Costello - Almost Blue

Almost Blue - Elvis Costello & The Attractions & picture montage of Audrey Hepburn LYRICS

Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost all the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying

Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be

Almost blue
Its almost touching it will almost do
There is part of me thats always true...always
Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few
I've seen such an unhappy couple

Almost me
Almost you
Almost blue

Except...he didn't write this one. It's Chet Baker's song, I think.

[mymayapapaya]

Elvis Costello wrote it.

[katwerner]

He wrote it for Chet Baker

[johnscott33]

I had to pay extra to get this on an album, since it was an "Import" What a joke.

@siamesebailey22 i would say it's quite like elvis in that he has such a wide palette you never know what he will do next, but i admit i was still suprised when this one came out. tremendous song, not a thing out of place.

[MrByaeger]

i dig your video, fits really well with the song, and what a song it is. if you were to judge a tune by who covers it, this one is way up there. elvis could have written this in 1942 and for sure all the greats would have lined up for it. elvis knows the craft of songwriting quite well, i think he gets overlooked and underestimated in that area, this song as well as many others he has written was no lucky accident. fantastic chord progression, melody and lyric. as good as it gets

[LaTONANZIN]

Elvis Costello should have just wrote it!

[Shoregirlie]

She was amazing wasn't she?  You saw it....

[Shoregirlie]

Elvis....find me... Suzanne... aka Shoregirlie... laffin cuz i know u can't find me... but I'm just diggin your music... and thinkin there's a part of me that's true to you...and will never see you babe.... just know I love u... out here.. on my own.....

[siamesebailey22]

Sorry Elvis, but Chat's version kicks so much ass. Thanks for writing the song anyways.
