Blue Monday
B. Movie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ladies and gentlemen!
Come with me to Mike's colored saloon
and there you will see a colored tragedy
enacted in operatic style
and like the white man's opera
the theme will be love! Hate! Passion! Jealousy.
In this little plot you may perceive a moral.
So I beg you follow well the story to its tragic end.
And it's all on account of a woman's intuition gone wrong.

I must admit although I don't like sunday
I have a fit when I go through blue monday
Monday's the oneday that my dice lose
They just refuse

That's when my tears are always bitter
-
I go through blue monday blues

Has one of you seen Joe my Joe
For I have a date with him here
It couldn't be have missed him
I am a little early for him
Maybe, has one of you seen Joe
I love him man my Joe

That's when a gal will pull a trigger,
A gal will pull a trigger
I got the Blue Monday Blues

I love but you my Joe, my Joe
I don't want a thing dear but you
But after all I'm only human
And I'm a mighty jealous woman
Honey, still just as long as you're true
I'll live for no one but you

I'm goin' to see my mother, mother mine!
Lord, how I've missed my mother, mother mine!
Maybe I'm a sentimental dreamer,
But my weary heart will cease to pine.




When in her arms I whisper.
I am home again, mother mine.

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of B. Movie’s song, Blue Monday, welcomes the listeners to join the singer on a trip to Mike’s colored saloon where they will witness a dramatic and operatic portrayal of a story of love, hate, passion, and jealousy, with a moral lesson to learn. Throughout the song, the singer narrates his love story with Joe, directed towards the women in the bar who may begin identifying with the story. The lyrics movingly express the singer’s pain and sadness, describing his feelings of loss of control, bitterness, and loneliness, associating these emotions to Monday, the day his dice won’t roll his way. However, every time he thinks of Joe, it gives him strength, leading him to think of visiting his mother, whom he missed terribly, as a way of seeking solace.


The lyrics of Blue Monday, while possibly reflecting the singer’s personal experience or imagination, provide a universal picture of human emotions and the intensity of heartbreak, jealousy, and the enduring love that can be overwhelming and destructive. The singer poignantly portrays this in the last lines of the song where he sings of his broken heart, wanting nothing but Joe, yet feeling powerless in the face of human weakness, acknowledging the possibility of fatal consequences. In this way, the lyrics of Blue Monday express the depth and complexity of the human condition and hint towards the high stakes of human relationships.
