Lyrics & Music: Stuart Adamson, Tony Butler, Bruce Watson & Mark Brzezicki

I think this is the demo version of this song done at House in the Woods. We did two versions of this, one a slow grind replete with vocal “brass” section, the other an up-tempo “punk rock” version. — Stuart Adamson, Restless Natives & Rarities liner notes

We’ve got a problem but I don’t know what it is
We used to sparkle now we buck without the fizz
My ass is getting pains from sitting on the fence
For everything I need to do is in the future tense

Blue on a green planet
With you

We’ve got a history but it’s too much like the past
I get unwell from stuff that used to be a blast
I did some falling down I did some falling out
I just guess our joint account has fallen into doubt

Blue on a green planet
With you

What more can we say, what more can we do
This is something that I never wanted to go through
But I’m blue on a green planet with you
I’m blue on a green planet with you
I’m so blue on a green planet with you

Blue on a green planet
With you

I’m not that lazy but I just don’t need the work
I’m not the proper type to be one of those physical jerks
Some people say you have to change to stay the same
I guess we tried so hard to stay the same we changed

Blue on a green planet
With you

What more can we say, what more can we do
This is something that I never wanted to go through
But I’m blue on a green planet with you
I’m blue on a green planet with you
I’m so blue on a green planet (repeat 2)

Blue on a green planet
With you (repeat 2)

Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
With you

Blue on a green planet
With you (repeat 2)
