I could have mastered a trade Sailed round the world in eight days But seems like I'm spending summer With your mother, younger brother and you I could've aimed for the stars Or been the first man to Mars Instead we're stuck on the sofa eating microwaved vegetable soup But somehow lately That doesn't make me blue Make me blue, make me blue I could have launched a new scene Or starred on stage and on screen So how come I'm sat here fighting for an inch of duvet made for two I could have made all my gold Finding a cure for the cold Yet here I am sitting listening to gossip 'bout your colleague Sue She made out with Kevin at the Christmas party, what was she thinking? But somehow lately That doesn't make me blue Make me blue, make me blue I could have been all the rage Been friends with Nicolas Cage I could have made the fans scream Playing for the national team I could have patented water I could have swam in the sea with the otters I could have married a model Sold my scent as perfume by the bottle I could have been something... But somehow lately That doesn't make me blue Make me blue, make me blue
