I left my washing in the launderette
You can put some money on it
You can place a little bet
That when I see my washing
The black will be grey
And the white will be grey
But the blues are still blue
his washing = his problems, leaving them for a while - sometimes makes what was once black and white (clearcut) go grey and the lines blur
but what makes you sad (blue) will still make you sad.
then you see your loved ones
I left my lady in the launderette
You can put some money on it
You can place a little bet
That when I see my lady
The black will be white
And the white will be black
But the blues are still blue
and instead of going grey, your whole perspective changes, but once again, what makes you blue still makes you blue.
i find the chorus of this song sticks the most.
