My Blue Supreme Lyrics
Fade out
You've already made a scene around me
Fade now
Just say that in the way you go by
It's my own time (cruising in my blue Supreme)
It's my own time
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When love comes, honey, take it
Only one in a hundred make it
We fake until there's nothing to fake
[Chorus]
There's someone that I'm dying to be
Cruising in my blue Supreme
[Verse 2]
Fade
You've already captured me alone
Fake out
Just say it in the way you go by
It's my own time, my own time
[Chorus]
There's someone that I'm dying to be
Cruising in my blue Supreme
Someone that I'm dying to be (cruising in my blue)
Someone that I'm dying to be (cruising in my blue)
Cruising in my blue Supreme
Just say it in the way you go by
My own time (cruising in my blue Supreme)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When love comes, honey, show it
So many of us blow it
This kind of shit don't heal in a week
Cruising in my blue Supreme
[Chorus]
Cruising in my blue Supreme
Someone that I'm dying to be (cruising in my blue)
But nothing ever comes for free (cruising in my blue)
Cruising in my blue Supreme (in my blue Supreme)
Something that I'm trying to create
Just me alone my shoes and some shake (cruising in my blue)
Cruising in my blue Supreme
About
“My Blue Supreme,” alongside “Same Town, New Story” are tracks which descend into slower territory after the energy of the first two tracks.
Frontman Paul Banks utilizes his falsetto in this song and stated in an interview with The Quietus that it may be new to Interpol fans, though he has used it in his solo work.
Banks also said that during the time of recording the song, his voice was “fucked” and thinking that if he got some rest, he would sing it in a different tone of voice.

I’ve sung in falsetto more in my solo work. So it’s not new to me, but I think it might be more new to the Interpol catalogue. But my falsetto doesn’t sound like that when it’s good. My voice was fucked by the time I was singing that song. And so I was kind of thinking at the time, “Oh, if I got three nights' sleep I would sing this in a different tone of voice.” But it’s utterly wrecked at the point that I did that take. We didn’t really have a choice. I mean, I could have postponed the mixing of the record because I wanted to get some sleep. But I felt like, fuck it. Firstly, it’s rock and roll. Secondly, nobody’s going to pay for this shit anyway, so what am I sweating it for? And thirdly, it’ll be more like it is live."
