The Waterboys - Blues For Terry Southern Lyrics

The Waterboys Lyrics

"Blues For Terry Southern"

Blues for Terry Southern
Blues for Terry Southern
He did it on a handshake
Did it on a handshake
Gotta love him for that, yeah

Blues for Terry Southern
Blues for Terry Southern
He didn't read the small print
He didn't read the small print
Gotta love him for that, oh yeah

But you know, dotting the T's and crossing the I's
Keeps everybody straight
I'm not saying that anyone lies, but people are strange
And then it's too late
Memory's a funny thing, changes as the years go down
Oh yeah
Play a chord, let it ring, who knows how it's gonna sound
Oh, no

Blues for Terry Southern
Blues for Terry Southern
He gave them the name
The magical name
Gotta love him for that, oh yeah
