Song Description
This rock song, heavy on drums and synths, expresses the questioning of a life as an artist. When the 'character' in the song reaches the end of his life, he meets his 'guardian angel' who has been with him in life and is now guiding him into the afterlife. Decidedly Bowiesque, not by intention but just the way it worked out.

Lyrics
I was a little too mild
And a bit of a flower child
When everyone was getting on with business
I was only imagining
I had skills and passions
And hardly any practical ambition
And while others were flourishing
I only had vision
And I saw her today - yeah, you're my sweet people
It's a Heavenly day
My knees are feeble, yeah
And I saw her today - I say yeaaay
You're true blue - you're true blue
You're true blue - you're true blue
Well I saw her today - yeah you're my true people
I lost my mindset today
My knees are tremblin', yeah
And I saw her today
Mmm . . . I say yeah
You're true blue - you're true blue
You're true blue - you're true blue
And I thought beauty was everything
And I thought everyone agreed
But when it came to reality,
There just wasn't a need
And it's sad but it's true
You've fallen in with me
And you're true blue
You're true blue
Well I saw her today
But my eyes weren't ready
Such a brilliant display
And my world unsteady, yeah
And I knew what to say
I say, yeah
You're true blue
