Out Of The Blue Lyrics

All your cares
Now they seem
Oh so far away
All your fears
I fear I once shared
Now I know

There's a future
For all of us
Not so long ago
I was so scared
You seemed so sad
I could see

Through your twisted smile
So unsure
Always confused
Pale blue eyes
Gazing down
From your ivory tower
Through the haze

All broken and bruised
Then: out of the blue
Love came rushing in
Out of the sky
Came the sun
Out of left field
Came a lucky day
Out of the blue
No more pain
I don't mind
If it's only
A passing craze
Throwaway lines
Often ring true
If I were you

I would stay
For a little while
I you were me
Would you walk out
In style?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The subliminal beginning - that double beat that keeps pulsing harder - until the song ignites and lifts off into the atmosphere... [something about someone falling in love - or just getting obsessed momentarily (?)] The spiraling end - the crazy upward soaring sound - like getting shot out of a vortex - out of the blue and into the stratosphere - out of the blue and into the absolute freedom of space - liberation from gravity - it sounds like a piece of rocket burning up in mid-flight - or the sound of a passing comet...

I LOVE Roxy Music. Greatest Band ever. Yup. It's true.

I love the text of this song, and I usually don't care much for lyrics. Fantastic with this electric violin solo too. One of the best Roxy Music / Brian Ferry songs in my opinion.

I'm talking about the version from the album Viva! of course. Definitely the most haunting and overall best version.
