Nothin' But Blue Lyrics

Wooh

Oh, I look at your picture
I'm nothing but blue
I'm hearing you whisper
The way you used to do
And I can't stop wondering
Just how things might have been
No, I'm nothing but blue

My life has no rhythm
Somehow it's out of tune
I keep trying to tell them
We'll be seeing them soon
But the truth keeps rushing back
Guess you know what I mean
No, I'm nothing but blue
No, I'm nothing but blue

No use in crying
That ain't what you would do, no
Living or dying
We'll just keep on fighting through, yeah

No I can't stop my wondering
'Bout all those things that might have been
No, I'm nothing but blue
No, I'm nothing but blue

Nothing
Nothing but blue
Nothing

Nothing but blue

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 guitar in this song, according to the credits, was a JS which was given to him by Satch. He plays it beautifully!

I bought this CD when it first came out and loved the crap out of it! My algo's went on a tirade and, 25 years later, I really listened to it. May is at his zenith on this album, musically and vocally. THIS is what any Queen fan needs to give a hard listen! The production is great, even for 90's standards. Brian's chops are amazing with some inter-modal stuff that I can't wrap my head around. If this was a Queen album, it would be, IMO, at least #8 in a long history of great Queen albums.
