I left my lady in the launderette
You can put some money on it
You can place a little bet
That when I see my lady
The black will be white
And the white will be black
But the blues are still blue
I like to think this is about how you can argue with a partner and you'll both swear black is white, or be adamant that some things happened in a completely different way, but you still feel crap - the blues are still blue
I really like the chorus;
