Old Red Eyes Is Back

these lyrics submitted are completely wrong, here are the correct lyrics: Old Red eyes is back Red from the night before the night before Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door Old Red's in town And sitting late at night he doesn't make a sound Just adding to the wrinkles on his deathly frown

They're only red from all the tears that I should've shed They're only red from all the women that I could've wed So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue

Listen up Old Red You never listened to a word the doctor said He told you if you drank another you'd be dead

Old Red Eyes is back His shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw

They're only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head They're only red from all the things I could have done instead So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue

Blue is a street without an end Red is the colour of my hell Blue is a greeting from a friend Red is the colour of farewell

Old Red he died And every single landlord in the district cried An empty bottle of whisky laying by his side A lazy little tear running from each eye They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue

Definate play on Frank Sinatra's "old Blue eyes". A sad story about the neighborhood drunkard who could have had a life like everyone else but had an untimely end: lonley with his bottle of whiskey.

this song is a classic, unfortunatly it reminds me of my uncle... hmmmmmmm

Whoever put the lyrics on first got it completely wrong. Well done for editing it mysteriousdragon. I love the idea of every single lanlord in the district crying cos old red is dead. it makes me laugh.

this song is so good, meanings pretty clear, but wat the hell went on with the posting??? lo.

This song is about aan old drunk in Kingston Upon Hull, were the band is from. altho it ses hes dead in the song im pretty sure he isnt. I seem to remember my dada telling me he still goes i the bars mite be confused with the lead of the band tho :s
