Paroles de 'Birmingham Blues' par Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)

'Cause I've got!

Working on the road across this great big world
Yeah, I've been rolling like a stone, I never get back home
Yes, I've been long-gone
Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

I've been across the ocean to the south sea island
Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for miles and miles and miles
And I've been long-gone
Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

Across the world I've seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name

Oh, I wouldn't change the things I do for anything
But I'd just like to hear the message of the streets again
Give me a ticket
'Cause boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet
Industrial Revolution put it on its feet
But it's a long, long way, ooh
Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

Across the world I've seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name

I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet
They'll say: You won't stay long, you got them travelling feet
You'll soon be long-gone, ooh
'Cause boy, you got the rest of the world blues!

(Across the world)
Across the world I've seen
(People and places)
People and places
Everywhere I've been
Could be the same
Don't you know it could be the same?
But with a different name
