Ouça Chet Baker em Almost Blue composta por Costello.
"Chet" Baker (1929 - 1988) foi um trompetista e vocalista de jazz norte-americano. Ficou conhecido por grandes inovações no cool jazz que lhe renderam o apelido de "Príncipe do Cool".
Em 1983, o cantor britânico Elvis Costello, um fã de longa data de Baker, contratou o trompetista para tocar um solo na sua música "Shipbuilding" para o álbum Punch the Clock. A música expôs a música de Baker a um novo público. Mais tarde, Baker frequentemente incluía a música de Costello "Almost Blue" (por sua vez, inspirada na versão de Baker de "The Thrill Is Gone") nos seus shows.
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost all the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost all the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue
It's almost touching it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true...always
Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few
I've seen such an unhappy couple
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue
It's almost touching it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true...always
Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few
I've seen such an unhappy couple
