Blue Murder - "Jelly Roll" (video)

(She said) Come lay with me darling
(She said) Take my love from me
(She said) I'll be yours forever
If you just believe in me

(She said) Any way you want me
Boy, my love I give to you
For I was born to love you
Take me any way you choose

Heartache
Coming my way
Angel
Feels like my dying day

I don't need no doctor
I don't need no priest
All I need is my baby girl
To bring it on home to me
I just need her loving each and every day
Only she can set me free and take these old blues away, yeah
Take 'em away

(She said) Trust in me my darling
For together we are strong
(She said) You are all I live for
I would never do you wrong

She done foolin' with my head
She take possession of my heart
Now I'm standing all alone here
And my world just fell apart

Heartache
Coming my way
Angel
Feels like my dying day
Feel like my dying day

I don't need no doctor, I don't need no priest
All I need is my baby girl to bring it on home to me
I just need her loving each and every day
Only she can set me free and take my blues away

Scream to the heavens, my God, make me strong
No one can hear me, my love she has gone
What can I say? What can I do?
Baby, I tell you my love belongs to you

Love can break your heart
Only love can break your heart
I gave you all I had to give
No words could say how much I miss you

Love can break your heart
Only love can break your heart
I gave you all I had to give
No words could say how much I miss you

Love can break your heart
Only love can break your heart
I gave you all I had to give
No words could say how much I miss you

Love can break your heart
Only love can break your heart

Το 1988 μόλις ο John Sykes έφυγε / εκδιώχθηκε από τους Whitesnake σχημάτισε τους Blue Murder. Μαζί του δύο μουσικοί με "βαρύ" βιογραφικό: ο Tony Franklin (βλ. Jimmy Page, Glenn Hughes, The Firm, Tony MacAlpine, Marty Friedman, Graham Bonnet, David Coverdale κλπ) στο μπάσο και ο Carmine Appice (βλ. Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, Beck, Bogert & Appice, Ted Nugent, King Kobra κλπ) στα τύμπανα. Ο κιθαρίστας John Sykes (βλ. Tygers Of Pan Tang, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, μεταξύ άλλων) έχει αναλάβει και τα φωνητικά. Κυκλοφόρησαν δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" στουντιακούς δίσκους (συν ένα live album). Το ντεμπούτο τους φέρει ως τίτλο το όνομα της μπάντας και "βγήκε" την άνοιξη του 1989...
