Originally called ‘Same Old Blues’ but as there are several songs with a similar title, ‘Same Old Same Old’ seemed more appropriate.

Backup:
The burglar bells chimed midnight
The sky was pouring down
My feet froze to the catwalk
But my head was homeward-bound
Same old blues
Same old back-street blues
My head is stuffed with nicotine
My throat is full of sand
My bloodstream is pure gin
I can’t remember how to stand
Same old blues
Same old inner-city blues
The all-night bus is AWOL
I can’t get to my bed
There’s a tangle in my fingers
And a jangle in my head
Same old blues
Same old long-gone midnight blues
