New Tattoo - Hello Sailor

A state house back in Blockhouse Bay

A new guitar with a pearl inlay

And dreams of songs on the radio

We’ve grown up in a brave new world

Ya fight the boys and chase the girls

And live life anyway you know

So if you walk my way

Don’t you give me the time

And if you pass my way

Dont even give me the time or day

Im as blue as a new tattoo

Im as blue as a new tattoo tonight

Paul died back in 85

Sometimes I feel he’s still alive

When I hear his voice through the radio

But there’s a bright new star that shines

For each and every brilliant mind

That was taken before the time to go

So if you walk my way

Don’t you give me the time

And if you pass my way

Dont even give me the time or day

I’m as blue as a new tattoo since I lost you

I’m as blue as a new tattoo tonight

Got to pick myself up

I’ve got to fix myself

Got to pick myself up

And start all over again

I’m as blue as a new tattoo nothing I could do

I’m as blue as a new tattoo tonight

I’m as blue as a new tattoo since I lost you

I’m as blue as a new tattoo tonight

Tonight

Im as blue as a new tattoo

Tonight

Tonight
