BlueBaby by One Million Fuzztone Guitars
From the first One Million Fuzztone Guitars sessions the first ever recording of the legendary 'Blue Baby'.
The song is a stream of consciousness rant about the demise of Skin Patrol, after having been deemed "not in the public interest" by all venues and radio. Back on the BBC as the Fuzztones, the DJ said "I'll play anything except 'Blue Baby', no one will ever play that on the radio, imagine the uproar over a song about dead babies". "But that's our first single and the 'Blue Baby' is dear old Maggie", I explained, "No they won't get it, even worse". So it was never pressed and 'Passionate Love' from the same session came out on a compilation cassette (The Bomb Party) then 'Heaven/Annuese' became the first vinyl release. But here it is now........

Lyrics
Have you seen yourself lately
My little Blue Baby
I forgot, sorry
That's your sad fixation
You were never
So short of opinions
Talking for you
Is just a natural function
You killed my baby
But it died easy
No transfusion could save it
The smell of death was always there
I won't pretend I cared
Make it public
Everything is equally important
Except you and what you think
I'm not sure that we can cure it
There's been a misunderstanding
Playing safe wasn't my choice
You've shown your true colours
Naked in their glory
You don't trust me lately
My little blue Baby
Crawling comes easy
You just use your knees
Well you killed my baby
But it died easy
There no thing nothing nobody could do
To save it
