From John Bramwell's pre-I Am Kloot days. Released originally in 1989 as Johnny Dangerously, on the EP 'You, Me And The Alarm Clock'. Fabled among I Am Kloot fans 'You, Me And The Alarm Clock' was re-released on iTunes in 2012. And 'Black And Blue' is still played live on occasion! Verse 1 =======
C   D7   G                     D/F            E7
            Lights are shining all round this world

Am               /G               C            D
   You want them all but what you want is this girl

G                                    D/F         E7
   You can stick those rules they're just second best

Am               /G              C           D
   They give you so much but you end up with less

G                                    D/F     E7
   They give you money when what you need is love

Am              /G               C          D
   It makes you smile pretending it's all e-nough

G                        D/F               E7
   See the world now its bruised black and blue

   You want it all but all that I want is you

We all wind up like we knew we'd do

   Bruised black and blue
Verse 2 =======
G                      D/F         E7
   Dream for to-morrow live for to-day

Am         /G                 C          D
   Someone somewhere made you throw it a-way

G                        D/F         E7
   Spin to the bottom re-turn to the top

Am              /G                C         D
   Lift up your eyes as if you're nearer to God

G                          D/F          E7
   So get your bicycle and go earn your keep

           Am           /G               C              D
There'll be   9 million cyclists here by this time next week

G                         D/F               E7
   See the world now it's bruised black and blue

   You want it all but all that I want is you

   Bruised black and blue
Out ===
C                D            G
   So many words hard but true

   F        E7         Am        /G
We all wind up like we knew we'd do
