Blue Bruise Anthem

(mmmmm-hmm) Woke up at noon to a purple shade

A quiet mark that the sidewalk made

I don't recall the final swing

Or who was shouting anything

And my knee is stiff,

my pride is bent

Wondering where the evening went

(where'd it go?)

It's just a yellow-purple bruise on my leg From a fight that

I didn't want to win

Just a little reminder of the state I'm in

(oh yeah!)

Limping down to the corner shop

Avoiding glances, hoping the rain will stop

No crown of glory for the battle done

Just a colourful stain from a cheap setting sun

It's just a yellow-purple bruise on my leg From a fight that

I didn't want to win

Just a little reminder of the state I'm in

(the state

I'm in!)

Sometimes you stand, sometimes you fall

Sometimes you shouldn't have gone out at all (ahhhh)

Just a bruise... on my leg...

(yeah, it'll fade away)
