"Gandhi Blues" Lyrics:
My voice is tired
And I feel broken
I've been singing you the Gandhi Blues
All I want is to feel much better
And make my way [ooh] back home to you

Take me into your arms
Take me into your arms, where I stand a chance
Take me into your arms
Give me your full attention

My voice is tired
And I feel broken, (ay-oh)
Now I know I've been letting you down
I've been trying to find my way back to you but
My voice is tired
And I feel broken, (ay-oh)
I've been singing you the Gandhi Blues
I’ve been trying to work hard all for you
But...ooh ooh ooh ooh

I've been singing you the Gandhi Blues
I've been singing you the Gandhi Blues

I've been wishing you were around
Drifting on my own again
Take me into your arms, where I stand a chance
Give me your full attention

Gandhi Blues
I've been singing you the Gandhi blues
Gandhi Blues
I've been singing you the Gandhi blues
Gandhi Blues
I've been singing you the Gandhi blues
Gandhi Blues
I've been singing you the Gandhi blues
Gandhi Blues
I've been singing you the Gandhi blues

My voice is tired
And I feel broken
I know I've been letting you down
Trying to make my way to you

My voice is tired
And I feel broken
I know I've been letting you down
Trying to make my way to you
